Locks of Love forever and today

Leap of Love and Strength to comit
I read a hub, of a woman that had the same hairstyle since high school. I started to comment. If you read my work you must think I never take a breath while I speak publicly. I do, I am just well trained to breath as I speak. It’s easy for some to write and never Publicly speak at all, or to speak and never write a word to follow. I use a key word, cheat sheet when I speak, to help me along and to keep from having long pauses; and rambling. I like to be quick insightful, unborish and out like a flash, So as I continue to write, comment, read. and visit Ad Sense links. all day. Perhaps we can become and remain friends, you will see after you get to know me speak with me from several continents away. Perhaps I might learn a thing or two from you and you from me, We shall see how it works out together as distant friends! OK, so key word on{ list }explains the comment that turns into a hub. blah blah, yada yada yada. I am usually the Queen of Smart @zz remark, so bear with me! I really always wanted short or shorter hair, manageable, stylish one handed cut. Five years before my brain surgery, See "Once Upon a Time" to get a sense of me. Danke r, Thank you, OK, So I am reading this hub, and it is really not uncommon to have the same hair style for Twenty or thirty years, At my High School Reunion they gave out an award for that. Ha, there were many to choose from. trust me. I was a Jock so , the ever reliable pony tail worked for me and still did with a few hundred bobby pins. I didn’t win that award but the Girl that did; also looked like half the crowd. when I returned home to Atlanta, where we planted roots and started raising children volunteering working. Living. playing, securing our marriage with the obligatory sex, on Birthdays holidays, etc. Sound and secure, I had never really been a huge Oprah Fan, in the early days she reveled the hot truth of Domestic Violence, here in our home of the brave. In many years of reruns, I was channel surfing, when I see a tiny bald girl speaking on a talk show forum. she had a hair lose problem, that made her hair fall out, then the next chemo and radiation, then the Adult woman. my heart was struck, each wig took thousands of strands of hair, and they would mold a latex to their head and add each strand by hand. real hair donated by real humans. and length all lengths. Each wig cost Ten thousand dollars. I could not afford to donate a wig but I would give to these beautiful bald females my hair for their own. I put into a pony tail and cut it strait across. and off it went to Lock of Love. My neighbor Girl Emily, about nine years old at the time. so young so sweet. was instantly inspired she started to grow her's to donate. I cried the first time she did that. She is a fantastic young woman now, in high school, I hope continuing to donate her little poney tails to the locks of Love foundation. Ah, Another Hub.
"The year I spent with Emily", one weekend a month for a year. !! Can’t wait to write that one. so I promise. It’s about the gift of time. a moment. to befriend a great Christian child. OK,
Hair {Key
I took a leap with my Long too strait for a perm hair, in 1999. Living in the Southern states, is heck on any mane, I am also a hemiplegics so I had to have a "style", of sort to blow dry and shake. fluff with one hand. I had my Long lovely locks to my waist platinum blond, natural. I drove a sporty little classic 1967 MGB Roadster. the hair was really pretty waving into the wind as I scooted about town my trademark hair my sporty car. PTA, ROTC Completion’s. Booster Clubs, Mom stuff,
Work Stuff, Family Stuff all rough on the hair.
Chamber of Commerce, breakfast, and then mixer at five Pm.
Donate to Locks of Love for women and children to have a custom made Wig,
They need all styles colors texture to complete, they, then separate every hair to a color, bin to create the wig, I donated five times including Pre brain Surgery. my hair went through many styles while growing back. as well as colors the Auburn red in my Default pic is a natural red that I was born to have only to change with nature to platnum,silk. Back to the Auburn red, like the Smokey mountains in Fall. I fit into the scenery very well. Its like God himself has camouflaged one of his weak into the background! Its lovely. And I pray the Women and children that receive my Locks of Love enjoy the silky feeling that once drove me wild.
{key} My Comment..
Good luck pic a style and stick to it, thinning shears should thin out your Fro' reverse perm should take care of those tight curls.. was the comment I posted. all this to give that chuckle inside, Carmen has created a Monster. Teaching and walking me through these Hubs, Lord only knows who reads them, my family, Carmen.
God bless and good growth to all.
