Profile Information
- Relationship Status:
- Married
- About Me:
- I am 34 years old, married to a wonderful man and have 3 beautiful children, with a 4th on the way--due end of April 2009.
I found out I had AA at age 14. The loss has been up and down: age 14-21 AA (spots that could be covered), age 22-23 AT, age 24-31 minor AA (just a few spots), 2006-present AU.
I never thought I would say this, but I am truly grateful that I have AA because it has pushed me and stretched me and made me so much stronger. I am more confident in myself now than I have ever been because I finally realize that the true me does not reside in my hair or any other part of my appearance. The true me is the soul that lives within. Letting go of the world's perceptions of beauty, a mold that so few fit, and accepting myself for who I am as a person has made me so happy. I no longer envy others the way I did (with and with out hair). I know that I am beautiful and it does not come from what I see in the mirror, it comes from within. It has been a long climb getting here, and I still have a long way to go, but it is sure a magnificent view!

Hi Shannon - you have gorgeous photos; the one with you and your dad is awesome! Make me realise I'm not documenting my kids' lives with me (I'm happy to be the one taking the photos; just not to be IN the pic). Time to change that mindset, me thinks! :)

Jessica said… - Hey Shannon,
thank you so much, we think she's pretty great too! Your baby must be going on a year by now. Please fill me in on what you've been up too.
I am in the market for a new wig. i have a vacuum which I love but due to the preice and having 4 children now I can't spend the money on a new one anytime soon. Since we last chatted I have lost almost all of my head hair I have a few patches here and there, and have lost all my body hair. This all came about from changing my thyroind meds, in Aug08 and it came out face.
well enough about me, I do hope all is well in your life.

Hello pretty girl...just love that picture with your dad!
As you must have seen my one with my mom...who has Dementia.
I was there with her in Australia, and returning to the USA has been a great loss.
Yet, I'm glad to have taken a photo with her.
Check out the new group my son is putting out, although this is a club/dancing techno version...a lil' bit different than the original listening version.

Mary said… - Hi Shannon,
I'm doing fine - getting ready for a gig with my band in LA this weekend...I'm a drummer as you can see from my photos. I think I'll make my bald debut in LA. Up to now I've worn a scarf there since I lost my hair.
Have a great weekend!

Natalie said… - Hi Shannon! Yes, it feels amazing to have it all shaved off! Thank you for all your advice and support :) My lace wig is real human hair, so it feels and looks like how my hair was a few years ago before the alopecia really got bad. I love how many options I have now: when I'm in a mood to be a little edgy/chic then I go bald- I've gotten only compliments so far! When I'm dressing up and bald isn't quite as appropriate, then I opt for a scarf- they are so much fun! And when I'm in a mood to be bubbly, then I go for my wig! All of my options are great. This is the happiest I have been in a very long time- it is such a good feeling. And the pain on my scalp has definitely subsided; it still hurts once in a while, but nothing like how it did before the shave. Is it spring yet in Utah? We just got tons of rain this past week, so hopefully everything will turn green soon and some flowers will pop up! I'm ready for summer! Talk to you soon, Natalie
