A Gesture of Love

My friend, Linda, forwarded this video to me today.

On a sidenote, it was also Linda who told me about the wonderful organization, Locks of Love, a couple of years ago. Her daughter, Erin, had cut and donated her hair at a designated salon. Volunteers for Locks of Love hand assemble each piece for children who have lost their own hair because of medical hair loss. It's an amazing gift that only requires your hair.

I'm due for a hair cut on the 18th. My two friends and I have been planning for many weeks for our hair appointment. If it was just me, I would just walk in to the salon the same day I felt like getting a cut. But apparently if you're married with children, you have to plan it. We've been planning a sort of girl's day out since September. So on November 18 we will be meeting for dim sum before going into the salon. I'll trim about one inch off the back. I'd like to donate my hair for the second time but it's not long enough yet. So just a little note to you if you're thinking of cutting your long beautiful hair...please consider locks of love. This has been public service announcement #257. Thank you for listening!
