Cutting your hair

i've worn that style to many a ceremony. made me feel connected to her.

Oh that is BEE YEW TI FUL! I can almost see her! Post a picture if you are comfortable doing that - it sounds stunning! And that your choice to wear your hair "her" way connects you to her ... that is so beautiful.

Wow - who knew hair was so freakin' powerful? Love it!

a picture of her? or me?

either way i'd have to get a friend to do it for me. i'm a computer illiterate.

the only photo of my grandmother is an old sepia photo of her sitting on a large grey horse. she has on a long skirt and a man's white shirt with the sleeves rolled up. unfortunately, you can't see her hair well, she has it pulled back in a loose bun.

Either or both! Don't worry about it, Elisi. Your words put such a lovely picture in my mind I was curious to see if it looked similar to reality, so I got impulsive and asked.

I love that you have a picture of your grandmother! I wish I had! So I have to rely on the pictures I make in my mind of them.

someday i'll get around to taking some basic computer classes. :)
