WUU WUU!!! I love hearing about your hair! Mine was down to my waist when I cut it off years ago. I got tired of the attention it got which didn't seem to be connected to me as a person. And cutting it off was like setting myself free from other people's illusions and expectations. And then I too got attention of a different sort, some of it angry oddly enough. I know that since I'm white, the spiritual meaning of your doing this in Africa is greater than mine was in a bathroom in Florida, but we are both women under the color and mother's on top of everything including color. And there is a spiritual connection right there for having done this. How marvelous!! Enjoy all that comes your way. Go, Shani!!
Currie you are soooo right...people seemed to have developed ideas about me associated with my hair...even in my short time here.... and i am sure there as well.....and some do seem angry....and you are right that we are connected on many levels aside from color and I do feel free since I cut it and each day i realize more and more the reasons of why I cut it and I am happy...I feel good...
anyway thanks diva for the comments...and please tell Janie and Patti that I said hello...I sent them both e-mails
