Going back to my earlier post where I said I wake up and want to do things bigger and better. This was one of those things. I have seen others shave their head for cancer and was always inspired and just literally woke up one day and decided to go through the process. I feel so strongly about those going through such an awful disease because it hits home. I have had family members, friends, and friend's families deal with it and I wanted to continue to help in ANY way. What better way than to raise money AND give my hair to a beautiful woman. For me it has been a roller coaster of emotions super exciting, a little shock, some sadness, strength, and now excitement again. I realize that shaving my head was the best decision of my life. I have learned so much about myself and have learned how to stay true to my values as well. Trust me it is exhausting having to take in how others view you and what they mumble under their breath...its amazing how not having hair brings out stereotyping and judging. Those people don't understand the true meaning of giving and I hope one day they can feel how I feel after giving back to such a deserving population. I have had so much support and I want to say thank you to all who have loved me and been there every step of the way. My hair will grow back but I can't say the same for others and that literally hurts my heart. These individuals that have to fight for their lives daily these are the people who deserve all the love in the world. I feel so deeply for them and wish I could make their pain and suffering go away ( so does everyone in the world right) and since thats a little out of my scope I shaved my head to support them. I walk around with my head high supporting and loving those who are so brave and whom I admire more than anyone. You all are the definition of strength to me and you always have me praying and thinking about you. You ARE so beautiful inside and out, no matter what. Hair does not define you!! <3
