Growing a Donation: Hair for Locks of Love

Some of you know last January (2008) I cut 12 inches of my hair off and donated it to Locks of Love. Having spent this past year with my short short hair, I was thinking about ways I could contribute to someone else’s life, and I decided to grow my hair out again and donate it once I’ve reached the minimum 10 inches.

For me, my hair isn’t really an area of concern. I realize for many people how their hair looks makes or breaks their day. Although the growing out process has its moments, I feel good about my decision and look forward to growing this donation mindfully.

If you’re looking for something to do—to give back—consider joining me and growing your hair out this year! It will help one or more people who have lost their hair through illness and/or disease. As an added benefit, you will save money since you’ll need fewer haircuts!
