a haircut

I was sitting in church on Sunday. I have been lucky enough to attend the same congregation for over 14 years. As I looked around I realized at least 3/4 of the women I know here have kept the same hairstyle since I have known them. I am a hair changer. I think I change…

My daughter Ellie is preparing to leave for her humanitarian trip to Tonga. I am so excited for her. It stops my heart a bit to think of her on the other side of the world so far away. She will be without a phone…and gone for 17 days! I know her perspective of life…
