Salt & Pepper - Growing Out the Gray

A new hairdo for the one who would rather be behind the camera instead of the subject facing the lens.

One year ago over Christmas break I decided I was done fighting the invasion of the gray.

Fine. Curly. Damaged. Frizzy. Gray. Thin. Brunette. Orange.

ONE YEAR.

That is how long it took before I had enough grown out to chop it all off and not be completely bald. 365 days.

My hair grows ever so slowly. In June, I had a partial cut, to take off the edges of brass. But for the entire year the march has been an agonizingly slow micro-bit-by-micro-bit stroll. Dark strands hampered by brassy orange ends. The process was not pretty. Not pretty at all.

On New Year's Day, a visit to my faithful hair dresser (and awesome sister) provided a very much needed hair lift.

Oh, curls. Glorious curls. Salt and pepper. And much to my surprise, lots of dark. Though that is mostly on the back of my head.

The salt and pepper loves to hang out around my face. I feel rejuvenated. And only sometimes older.

Here's to gray. Embracing salt and pepper.

I love it.

A New Look

It's time for a new look.

Spring flowers - a new beginning in the yard

My friends, you need to have some fresh views in your line of sight. Et voila!

Oh, and you also need an apology. It's time for the blogger to eat crow. I'm all over those funny Grammarly posts on FB. Especially the ones where the apostrophes are used incorrectly.

Yet, not once, not ONCE, did I notice that I had misused apostrophes twice in my blog title! Ouch. Double ouch. My most sincere apologies to you, the readers. Please! Pretty please with sugar on top. If you see that again, let me know. I shall hire you as my editors.

The sisters, Monet and Mabel, can't believe I misused apostrophes!

New Things ~

~ This refreshed blog template. Love the blue skies and the feeling of being outside on a beautiful day. Nature rocks!

~ A new photo of yours truly. I'm going for a new look as I grow out the dye and let gray rule the day.

~ A new career. This hopeful wordsmith is following her dream of writing.

~ A fresh start. Everyone needs something new. My brain cells are very unsettled and excited about the changed appearance of the blog and the possibilities unfolding as each new day dawns.

~ New helpers. See below. I can't help how adorable they are. Still figuring out how to channel their assistance.
