What an inspirational way to start off the New Year :D:D:D

The stylist cut the lengths off, but my son and I mailed the package. He was so excited! I'm planning on including him in all my adventures.

I figure I'll save a fortune in shampoo and conditioner but mostly it just feels good to do something unselfish.
I encourage everyone to consider a personal promise such as my own. Small steps make our world a better place.


My 13 yr. old DGD donated her hair, also. She was so proud of what she did she said she was going to do it again. I was so proud of her unselfishness.

I hardly ever post, but just had to jump in and say what an awesome resolution you made - I'm so inspired to try to do the same.

The people on this board amaze me more every day - what a super bunch of people.

That is great. I to donated 10 inches of hair(never had short hair before and now I'm kinda liking it). I hope that more people can do little things to help others. :)

What a wonderful idea. I hope you are equally as pleased throughout the year as God shows you other things you can do. This is a promise we could all make to ourselves.
