If you want to attempt to understand what it might possibly be like to experience the loss of one's hair, you can also watch her read the chapter from her memoir, The Middle Place, on Going Bald.

Hers is the first one that has resonated; that has made me smile in self-recognition.

Thanks for posting these. What a sweet solstice gift. You're the best.
Love, light and rebirth . . . that is what the solstice brings as we move back "closer to the sun". Thanks for your light Sue!
