Hello out there! This is my first ever blog/post. Welcome!
I am a small town girl hoping to jump into the big city and make some noise with my fabulous new novel. Well, once I have the damn thing written anyway.
In the mean time I'll focus some of that hopeful energy on writing about my life here.
I'm a married thirty-something college student desperately hoping to make it in the world with my writing. At the moment I am facing the dreaded transfer to a university, which should make me happy. But I'm completely terrified! So in hopes of gaining some semblance of control, I cut six inches off my hair!
Now most people (meaning men in particular) don't really see what the big deal is about a haircut. But to me (and most of the women I know) a haircut is a REALLY BIG DEAL!!!
Typically, hours and hours are spent looking at photographs (mine was Katie Holmes), talking to girlfriends, and pinning your long locks up to see how you'd look with short hair, all with the hopes that you'll find a way to feel comfortable about changing something major in your appearance.
I have to admit I felt very confident going into the salon with my photo. I knew it was time for a change, I'm getting older and my hair was getting younger (think Laura Ingalls braids). I tried not to listen to the little voice screaming inside my head "You'll look like a boy if you cut it!!". Luckily, my stylist is my sister and I trust her with all my heart. She calmed me down (what was in that tea?) and started to cut.
I had nothing to worry about, that girl ROCKS!!! She made me look even better than Katie Holmes and now I not only look better, I feel better too.
Women of the world, don't let your hair dictate who you are!! Cut it, shave it, let your gray grow out (whoa! I wouldn't really go that far.) don't be afraid to try something new!! Embrace a little bit of change, who knows where it might take you!
