A women who cuts her hair is about to change her life.

So I did it! I chopped off 14 inches of my hair and donated it to Wigs For Kids! So, while I didn't visit my desired missions here in SoCal nor did I finish my 30 titles I wanted to read, I have done most everything on my 30 before 30 list. The final recap is posted here on my birthday.

So what does 14 minches of hair look like...I'll show you:

Before it was cut off:

With a bit of curl...

With a bit of goof...

Here we go:

The goods...

Measuring it out...

CHOP!

The damage....

After:

TADAH!

And now I try to figure out how to style it...or lack there of...

First try: we have the curlers I normally used when I had LONG hair.

It turned out a little curly, but nothing amazing... meh, maybe a curling iron?

Tried a bit of pomade sort of stuff the next day. I liked the look it gave the back of my hair, but the top seemed ... a bit well dirty... and if I futzed with my hair it looked like bed head.

Then I decided to try the "slick back look" and that turned into mini cosplay of Trinity from the Matrix.

All in all, a successful first few days of experimentation.  Plus, a new idea for Comic-Con.

Keeping in mind today's title, I am not sure if I did it in that order. My life has changed drastically over the last year. Though I feel that even better and great things coming that I will prepare a way for, I think that the hair cut is signify a cut of ties to the thoughts of others. I am no longer bound by gossip and the negativity of society. I don't feel like I will stay in contact with negative toxic people like I have for the last decade as I thought that if they were angry or upset with me that I couldn't deal with it. I think I surround myself with positive people, friends, family, activities, and, most importantly, my Husband and our Lord.

Until next time...
