Another chance

I woke this morning, hair all over, and my resolve was confirmed particularly after I got a message from my hair stylist who said he was up last night thinking about me and sending me positive thoughts. We spoke afterwards and he said that when you have good in your life and know someone else is struggling, it helps to send some of your abundance towards that person to help them on their path.

A response you’ve been waiting a long time for may arrive today, but it will come in an unusual format. And although this answer might not be exactly the one you were hoping for, it’s going to be extremely positive. If you feel that a celebration is in order, then go for it! Plan something around food. A dinner party or a group dinner at a fancy restaurant will be a great way to share your happiness with the people you care about.

Uncanny because I had opened a fortune cookie the other day that said “You will receive a surprising gift very soon.”

And so I have come to understand this alopecia – this tap on the shoulder – you must change your life. I started this year determined and found myself following familiar routes – work harder, over-schedule, say yes when you want to say no – but this time I was not getting the familiar taste of salt, instead I it was like acid on my tongue.

And so I was given this gift – this alopecia – this nudge back to my path because greater things await me. I was also given the gift of friendship and love and I am fraught with having to accept it – oh dear. My partner has alleviated me of school shuttling, my hair stylist wants me to come in for a shampoo/massage for free, a friend writes from Boston about Nantucket, a friend sends me a link to acupuncture, another texts me about a homeopathic cream, another emails to try another organic product – my gifts keep coming.

One amazing gift:

He was giving me a hug and had my hair in his hand that came out and he smiled and said, “Mommy’s losing her hair.”

And now going:

Going:

GONE:

How wonderful to be offered so many clues, how clueless to keep ignoring them, how fortunate to be pushed to confront my life head on and be given yet again, another chance.

    You know what? You look fabulous bare headed. What I see is your energy coming through in the photo. You also look fabulous in that wig. Now, I’d like to see you bald and wearing those red boots and fishnet stockings that are behind you in the photo. Now that would be something!

    I’m hoping that when the doc checks me out and we get my thyroid straight that not only my hair but my energy returns so I feel like inhabiting those boots!
