Finally!
I'm happy to say that after last night showing my family what I really looked like without a turban or a wig and all they said was, it's about time! let your head breath, it looks cute.
I seen my son's face, he just stared and stared and came up to wear I was sitting and said mommy you don't look ugly at all you are still very pretty, it brought tears to my eyes. and he hugged me tight and said I love you mommy even if you have no hair.
We were able to take my "couple picture as i call it and my husband said, you don't have to be embarrassed around us leave your head alone dont cover it. It made me feel so comfortable and I was full of smiles last night.
I am now happy to say that I feel I am comfortable to walk around my house without a turban, would I do it if my other family or in-laws came by NO . But I am trying hard to make an effort. This is my first step, and perhaps after my therapy is over I may even walk out in my own fenced yard with nothing on my head.
I am very proud of myself right now and it feels great!!
I hope I have inspired some of you that it's not all as hard as it seems to be, maybe at first it may be I know I been there but at some point or another we just have to try hard and make the first step.
Wishing everyone a blessed day!!

Lisa, As I sit here with tears streaming down my face I can truly say that I am proud of you too. It is an amazing relief and feeling to be able to be oneself in front of their family. If there is one place that it is important to find acceptance and be able to be yourself it is your home. Whether you decide to venture outside of your home without a head covering that is up to you. But to be free in your home is so amazing. You have taken steps to reclaim your personal space. I remember the feeling, it was scary and liberating. So my tears are not just for you, but for me and for everyone else who takes the courageous step and reaps all the benefits. Thanks you so much for sharing this moment with us and being an inspiration to many.

What awonderful Mothers Day for you to be able to feel such an added blessing. I knew that once you stepped over this hurdle into your own comfort zone and within the comfort of your home and family, you would be able to take in the abundance of life around you. Awesome Lisa, and thanks for sharing the moment with us all.
