Hair Journey

I had a hair journal over at message board specifically for long-haired people. It crashed and I have no idea when I'll be able to access it again. Fortunately, all my pics were saved on Photobucket. I figured I might as well save them here too, in order, so I can at least see that my hair is actually growing, even though it currently looks like carp and doesn't feel like its grown an inch.

I stopped by your blog because I am interested in the Catholic Worker Movement too...and I am a mom of teens. I probably wouldn't have commented but Lo and Behold your haircut photos are great! I had just posted a piece & photos about my own radical haircut! Fun! (It's called "Goodbye 2006" in my New Path blog).

Peace,

Anonymous said...: I have decided I probably will not get my hair chopped again. Because this last time it seemed to take for ever to grow back. So I am assuming it is partly because I am getting older... and therefore, no more hair chopping for me!

My kids, on the other hand, are fair game! hahaha; March 29, 2008 at 1:37 PM

Hope all's well my friend, peaceful week : ) Wendy; March 31, 2008 at 4:34 AM
