My daily mantra
- even after all the years living with alopecia, even with the good days and bad days that I still experience living with alopecia.

Is "Alopecia may control my hair, but it will not control my life."
Live a happy, full and peaceful life in the body you have. Love your body, for it is your temple, your safe place.

Alopecia is an auto-immune skin disorder causing the body to reject hair, "The Enemy" Alopecians suffer terrible self esteem crushing discrimination and have to find inner strength in order to survive. We constantly have to fight for awareness. as we have fought through the pain. We are Bald, Strong and Beautiful. Hair is NOT needed to be "normal". Strength and beauty comes from within.

alopecia is very much an individual journey. How we cope, and interrupt what is happening to us. But together, sharing our thoughts, fears, and experiences; we gain insight, knowledge and support. I know personally living with alopecia for almost 30 years and only becoming part of a community of other alopecians in the last few years, I have gained so much. Each day is different; some bad but mostly fabulous now.
Please feel free to share your thoughts of alopecia here on this page aswell and share this page with all your friends

This post has a different theme. Something I hope that my equestrian friends can feel as their own. And others might see something to relate to in their lives.

Never sell your saddle. I remember seeing this meme on social media once: don’t sell your saddle and there was something that hit me dee...

On days like today, warm and breezy I find myself missing my hair. I miss feeling the breeze floating my hair around. I also miss having hair as I struggle keeping the sun from burning my head. It just proves to show that no matter how much I have accepted my baldness and even on most days have embraced my baldness; we all can have a "bad hair day"
Tomorrow is a new day.

What is alopecia awareness month?
My response .......

Alopecia is an autoimmune disease, where the immune system attacks the hair follicles of the body resulting in hair loss. Approx 2% of the world's population has this disease; it also can appear in ones life at anytime (young and old) and effects both sexes equally. Not only does it affect the physical appearance of a person but the emotional damage this disease causes results in a lot of sufferers to hide in shame.
The month of September is Alopecia Awareness month to bring this shameful disease into conversation. To bring about more awareness and knowledge to those that never heard of it and also to unify sufferers into a larger voice.

Only days left of September please continue to share the message and teach others what alopecia is. Share this status.

Living with alopecia can be a very solitary journey. Its through sharing and education we can break that. Years ago before social media many lived with this disease without any knowledge of others. Like myself for many years I hid my hair loss, scared to let others know. Til there was support groups, web pages and chat rooms.
BUT as an alopecian you have to take care... upon opening the door to others. Some prey upon our "difference". As I found out when I entered the social media world. There are groups that want to keep you down... that tell you that you are diseased and need curing. There are also the fe**sh groups; that only connect with you cause of your baldness.
Alopecia Awareness Month - not only to show support and awareness but also to educate those without alopecia and those with.

September is Alopecia Awareness Month!!
Alopecia is an autoimmune disease that targets the hair follicles resulting in hair loss and this disease effects over 2% of the population. Alopecia does not discriminate, anyone at any age can be effected by this disease and there is no cure; often times there is only painful ineffective treatments that only treat the symptoms but not the disease. Alopecia can result in patchy bald areas (alopecia areata), total scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) to complete hair loss (alopecia universalis). Many people that have this disease live their lives in shame and hiding. As was the case with me for over two decades. Imagine waking up one morning and finding a patch or many patches of missing hair, unable to control the loss and the change to your appearance. Your hair might grow back but to only fall out again, over and over. Only with awareness and education can those living with this disease step out from the shame. And that is my goal.
