A Verse to Live by

"No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength;
but with the trial he will also
provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it."
1 Cor 10:13

My Way, My Time


After yesterday's chemo and Saturday morning's shower, it became evident that things were changing with my hair. So, rather than let what was happening drive me, I drove it -- right off my head! My mom and niece, DiAnna, joined me in this adventure, providing great support (see yesterday's post). I asked DiAnna to document the event with my iPhone and she did a damn good job! Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my totally excellent and wonderful hair stylist, Jasmine. This woman knows me well, my hair, and she's an outstanding individual.

Also, props to the final star of this "short" 4min-24sec video, my nephew Andrew, who appears with me at the end. The consensus at home was I now have a closer resemblance to the men of the family than the ladies! Since they're all handsome fellers, well, I have no objection!

O.k., not much more to add. I'll let the video tell the tale, but with two caveats: 1) the close-crop I now sport is temporary as the drugs will have their way, and 2) this is my first video upload and I don't think I got the best quality -- I'll keep trying.

With all that I hope the video moves along at a quick enough pace and with such a riveting musical score that you'll stay for the entire show :) Enjoy!

Hi Laura,
I was going to text you today but I wanted to catch up on your blog first! It is great that you are doing this. I learned from Tim last summer that documentation is priceless!

You look great! Plus, summer will be a lot cooler for you this year :D

I am glad to hear you have been eating well.
I hope Sedona is lovely as always and you two are getting to spend time together.

Thats a great compilation Laura! I love your phrase "rather than let what was happening drive me, I drove it..", that so you! And you still look great!
Just remember, no matter how little hair you might have, you will always look much, much better than Steve does, and all of your hair will one day be back, which is more than Steve can say.
