I'm all for healthy and respectful debate about societal trends and attitudes, but hair? Really? Why is that anyone else's business? I have a friend that cut her hair off and she had people tell her it made her look older. Uh...thanks? <br /><br />I think you said it well, and I'll be thinking about feeling fear in correlation with creativity for a while. It is unnerving to put yourself out there. I've felt some of that fear for sure, but I'm so lucky to have been treated very kindly in blogland. So many wonderful people, you included, have become part of my consciousness, and I'm forever grateful. As for the trolls, I second your sentiments exactly. Screw 'em. :o)Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07541652110390287076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215479305770760888.post-23304696664036786182010-02-20T14:50:06.417-05:002010-02-20T14:50:06.417-05:00AWEsome.

Thank you for th...So glad Punkin is on the mend. <br /><br />Thank you for this post. It is great to be reminded that we should do things for ourselves and not just to plesae others. A very hard lesson to remember at times.<br /><br />The story about your friend Sara reminded me of Faith Hill's haircut unveiled at the 2001 AMA's. She had gone from long hair to a shag cut. Her reasons were her own, but the outrage from fans was unreal. As if her singing had anything to do with her hair. Sometimes it is hard to ignore the insensitive comments.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01039742333612745331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215479305770760888.post-60514778380538385252010-02-19T12:16:52.035-05:002010-02-19T12:16:52.035-05:00I get my fair share of trolls, but somehow they do...I get my fair share of trolls, but somehow they don't bother me. I guess because I consider them to be random people who really don't know what they're talking about and are just spewing hate for the "fun" of it. It's the people in day-to-day life who talk about me behind my back that can get to me. Instantly. I kinda wish I could reverse that.Burgh Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09123901504643963583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215479305770760888.post-10373976797980470622010-02-19T12:01:35.927-05:002010-02-19T12:01:35.927-05:00I love whenever someone posts about this topic.

Do it anyway. Because real people will be there to support you. Awesome post!<br /><br />(And I'm glad Punkin is okay - I was worried about you guys!)Katie in MAhttp://cantgetthere.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215479305770760888.post-39360592311786407032010-02-18T23:12:40.227-05:002010-02-18T23:12:40.227-05:00I love this.

Striving to go inward and to celebrate and take care of oneself means being able to go outward and take that kindness with you. <br /><br />"Fundamentally, the basis on which you can build a sense of caring for others is the capacity to love yourself." - H.H. the Dalai Lama<br /><br />Thank you for a lovely post!Kristy Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04935058622453097392noreply@blogger.com
