my (sad) little pony

it's been a year and a half

since i shaved my head.

surprisingly, i loved having it bald.

it was such a freeing experience

that made me feel confident, strong
and strangely feminine.

i've been keeping it short

ever since and have so enjoyed

the ease and fun look of short hair

but decided to start growing it out

again when i was pregnant.

my hair however, is taking it's sweet time

leaving me at that akward

ugly hair stage (for way too long).

so i thought i'd see if i could

pull off a little ponytail.

not so much.

 

i'm really looking forward to the day

when my little pony is more

representative of this sweet mane.

and until then....more hats.

2011

I love January.

I love that Christmas (as lovely as it is) is

ready to be packed up and put away for another year.

I love the feeling of a fresh start.

I love making new goals for the coming months

(even if they're not always accomplished).

I love that January welcomed me into the world.

I love that there is a chance to snuggle into

a scarf and warm coat for a few weeks.

I love that many special people were born this month.

I love greeting a new year.

Hoping that 2011 is filled with inspiration for you and your loved ones!
