Arizona Visit

Hello from Arizona! Bullhead City to be exact. I have some great friends I visit here and now I have been introduced to new friends! The Comfort Zone, an incredible place that has been made available by a lovely lady named Phyllis. They help people in every aspect of their cancer journey from a hug to wigs to contacting funding organizations. It is amazing to see the work done and how each person can help in their own little way.

For the Relay for Life this year, their theme is Mash so all the people involved are going to be dressed in costumes resembling the characters. Can you see yourself wearing a wig so you can look like Hot Lips!? It is possible!

Aahh the wonderful world of wigs!

Time Flies!

You think I am going to say - Time flies when you are having fun - Not! It flies by no matter what. I have been ill for the last little bit and it sure made me think how we shouldn't take a day for granted.

I meet special people in my shop. They are on a journey of living every moment they have. I thought I knew what that meant. I didn't. After spending days on end in bed and missing life, I think I get it now.

This morning I was up at 5 a.m. wanting to start the day and I am still going and its 11 p.m.!

Thank you for the day!

A Husband and His Wife

Got up this morning thinking it would be just another day..how wrong I was! I met two new different people wanting Highlights for Hope because they had seen someone else wearing one and then I met with a special lady going through chemo therapy and her husband. It was my first experience to have a husband come along to the consultation. I felt priviledged to witness the support and comfort her husband offered his wife while she tried on different wigs. We had a bit of fun with different styles, got to laugh a bit at how possible it is to have lots (and I mean lots) of hair and totally different colors! You see, as women, we know what it is to change our style and what we do to get that style but for him it was surprising! I think we gave a few beauty secrets away that he hadn't known before but I think we can trust him because when we were all done, she looked absolutely Wig Beautiful and like herself which I am pretty sure he loved.

A Promise

A promise to my web master was made that I would continue blogging faithfully! Well, here I am again typing away when I know I should be doing something else like adding pictures to my website!

Actually, that is the next thing on the list! Pictures are coming! I promise!

Tonight I will be weaving Highlights for Hope for the Sudbury Swim Club. Their season is starting up again and they wanted to celebrate with Highlights for Hope. Can't wait to see the girls in pink! It should be nice to see the Highlights flowing in the pool as they wade in the water!

The Beginning

It took a while to decide if I wanted to become a wig specialist. Although, it wasn't a hard decision because I knew I wanted to help people keep and see their beauty as they know it.

Since I opened my private little wig salon in August, 2008, I have been helping strangers who have become friends. But now I am really helping a friend and a relative.

I am thrilled that I am the person that is helping them. It is as though I was supposed to become a wig specialist just to help them. I love these people deeply. It means alot to me that they trust me enough to help them with their hair loss issues.

My website is now up and running and I am starting this Blog so you can know what I am up to. I am busy so it should be interesting!
