My fight helping others almost killed me. Here to recover, look at DIY projects, gardening, RVs, Star Wars posts, support women’s basketball, Yankees and to uplift others with kindness.

Fortunately married to a man just as quirky as me.

Between the SLDC grant stuff, this awfulness, and recent revelations about shameless spending by some school district leaders, my faith in humanity and civics has been shaken to some degree. This is all so wrong.

I will cut my hair in a heartbeat if I see it becoming unhealthy because my hair grows faster when it’s healthy. It’s also easier for me to maintain when it’s healthy. I also understand why some women don’t want to cut their hair. Our hair is so important to us.
