So I get this email today from a friend. She said she laughed “UNTIL I CRIED” about my hair post. SO glad I could be of such HUGE entertainment value. Of course, as I have shared, EVERYONE in my life has said, “YOU NEED A NEW PHOTO.”
My friend “reminded” me that she also has said need a new photo – FOR YEARS. Yes, yes, yes… I’m really *NOT* exaggerating!!!
I just smiled… giggled… thinking about going to the Goddess lady next week, and wondering what GRAND ADVENTURE I’ll experience.
I give, I give! My new site is just about ready to go and all it needs is a new photo, although it WILL have a cute, sassy little photo of me when I was the Queen to Be (complete with my pink satin robe).
Stay tuned… new photo to come… 
As a tribute to all of you hair heroes out there… hair from my life…
Age 6 to 7 – My heroes – Princess Leia, Wonder Woman, and the Bionic Woman. From twisty braids to hairsprayed helmet head to flowing bionic locks. My oh my! Can’t you almost hear it …boing….boing…bionic…sound…
Dorothy Hamill – The hair we all wanted when we were eight or nine. Mmm, I’d rather wear a turban – oh, it’s similar in style!
Farrah Hair…competing (ah, the days before awareness and enlightened living – LOL) with Farrah for the attention of 13-year old pubescent boys is NOT easy. We all wanted to look like Farrah or Cheryl Tiegs or Jaclyn Smith. There’s going to be a special about Farrah’s cancer battle this Friday on NBC – let’s pray for her!
Remember this? Let’s get physical, physical… Come on, let’s get phys-i-cal! I actually walked around with a headband on and had tie up shirts with matching sweats. I had pink, blue, white, and boy did I think I was it! My mom cringed. I cut my hair like this about a year later. From down to my waist to THIS. Oh, yeah, and I was on the varsity tennis team so that worked – I think.
If you’ve seen Ghost of Girlfriends Past, you KNOW we all wanted to BE Madonna as sophomores…TOTALLY. Oh, and I DO have to claim that I wore TWO watches WAY before anyone else even THOUGHT about doing that… Madonna… or others. My hair bleached out blonde naturally from being at the pool that summer, then I went ahead and helped it out some, and BOY was that a BIG DEAL to put back to brunette – can you say reverse highlights? I was totally addicted to Seventeen Magazine from a young age. I discovered Seventeen when we lived on Guam and there was not much to do at all so I was 7 and would read and re-read EVERY page of Seventeen and plan to be a model when I grew up. Alas, I did wear Express clothes, neon sweatshirts, bangle bracelets and skirts just like Madonna.
Finally, Bananarama, the Go-Gos and other New Wave bands took us into the funkadelic land of hair. One of my best friends shaved her naturally golden blonde hair (can you believe it – a natural blonde in Texas) and went around with streaks of purple and blue, I stuck with my layered locks, and Mark SWEARS I look just like Belinda Carlisle in my driver’s license photo. I’ll take THAT as a huge complement – she’s gorgeous! Maybe someday I’ll do a collage of all of my hair dos (and don’ts).
SO that is a stroll down hair memory lane… hope you laugh!
Looking for a Dream Life:
Oh my goodness, I have to share this because this is all WAY too funny for just me to know. Well, okay, for Mark, me and everyone else involved in this tale to know.
About six months ago.. Well, no, probably back in October 2008, I thought… a tiny little thought… I’m going to get a new photo. My current … ah-hem *clearing throat* photo is not at all current. So, I thought, I’m just going to do this.
Well, as you know how thoughts grab onto other thoughts and fly out into the world, people started saying… “Uh, I don’t mean to be rude, but you REALLY need a new photo – you look so much BETTER than the one you have!”
I honestly don’t know why I wasn’t hurt in the slightest – maybe it is because I really do AGREE…AND I really did APPRECIATE the concern. I giggled, I shifted in my seat, and I created more resolve to GET A NEW PHOTO. I even called a photographer to set up an appointment, which I promptly didn’t actually make.
I then decided I would heap on some pressure to FORCE me to get the new photo. Volunteered to set up photo shoots for others, etc. And, one by one, each one of those people went down like dominoes… changed their mind, couldn’t wait for a ‘group discount,’ decided to go with another photographer… and VOILA! I was soon off the hook AGAIN! See how powerful I am at manifesting?
But now… it really is time. It IS TIME. So, what’s the big deal? I’ve gone through the excuses… what is it? Is it I’m concerned about it? No… Is it that I am worried what I will look like? I thought that might be it, but I’ve been in plenty of other photos…okay, no, that’s not it. On and on it has gone for nearly EIGHT months, and the number of people ‘gently nudging’ me or ‘not so gently nudging me’ is INCREASING!
PLUS, I really DO want a new photo!
If you are one of the beautiful messengers sent to move me to the next level – THANK YOU – I know, I agree, I DO need a new photo!
Here’s the plan … I’m going to see the GODDESS image consultant, Elaine, that Kathy Garland, my friend and gentle nudger, referred me to to get my hair done. My hair might be part of my issue… my hair is pretty much exactly the same as you see it in my *current* … cough…cough… photo, except I don’t have bangs anymore and after having Chance, my hair now grows in ringlets instead of perfect straight like it did for my first 32 years on the planet!
I’ve thought… I need a change. Maybe I should cut my hair (it’s down to my waist). But then I think of how I always come back to “my” hair. This long, thick hair is what I think of when I think of my head with hairs coming out of it! I like it SUPER long because it makes better french twists, which I can make in less than 30 seconds flat, too, by the way. I also like it super long because it is less maintenance than shorter hair where you MUST go in for haircuts every three to four weeks. Finally, I really LIKE long hair and I like the wildness of how I feel when it is down and flowing.
I always tell clients not to go against their nature. That is like one of the platinum rules when you work with me as a coach and guide. For me, I don’t enjoy fussing with my hair. I’m a walking talking contradiction in that I love bright red lipstick, but I like everything else understated… I can curl my hair and have it all TEXAS BIG, but I prefer it down and just natural or up in a twist so it doesn’t brush against my face and tickle my nose.
I’ve TRIED to be one of those people who spends half an hour on their hair each morning, but something about that just doesn’t feel right. Nothing against others who enjoy that… for me, I would rather be doing something else.
Maybe our Goddess Consultant will work some Goddess Magic on me and I’ll KNOW what I want…instantly, magically, and *POOF*…we’ll create it then and there.
Oh, and THEN we get the photo… so new photo coming for ALL of you who have been THINKING you wanted to NUDGE me into getting a new photo… I’m feeling all the photo love, and I’m ever so grateful! I really am… do you know how much love someone has to have for someone to say, “Hey, girl, update that picture – that doesn’t even look like you anymore!” *grinning*
Now you know why I HAD to share the photo saga… it is hilarious what happens when you make an intention and then don’t follow through… you will literally be ‘reminded’ from every corner of the Universe what you set forth from your thoughts… and more!
My hair is now like this… (and I’m sitting here thinking… hey, if it works for Angelina, why can’t it work for me? Well, maybe besides I’m not Angelina! LOL
When I get it cut like this… it rubs on my face and makes me itch… I don’t like that.
Hair that I secretly say I would actually commit to doing, but know I won’t…but then maybe our Goddess, Fairy Godmother will have some different tips for us!
What I know I don’t want… My hair grows more like Liv Tyler in Lord of the Rings. If it would STAY looking like that, I might be able to get down with that look, but it doesn’t… it goes flat and then looks … funny… or not… LOL.
