So, I log into Facebook and see that a high school acquaintance has updated her profile picture. She’s bald and beautiful! She goes on to explain that she has Alopecia and has finally decided to cut her hair and embrace her condition. I found this so courageous and inspirational!

I have Alopecia and Hashimoto’s Disease which causes me to lose my hair. It eventually grows back but over the past three years the growth has been thinner and thinner. I thought about shaving my head back in 2008. Now I have this new sense of inspiration to embrace the fact that I am slowing losing my hair and just shave it off. I don’t even want to wear a wig. I’ll just be bald and beautiful! Let the journey begin!

I sent her a message and she told me about this site. So, today, I took the first step and shared with a few people what I’m planning to do. So far the response has been awesome! It is truly a blessing to know that there are people who love you for you.
