Well, life got crazy for everyone. Updating a hair blog didn’t seem very important, but as we stand and look forward at what is sure to be an even more bizarre year end, I find the need to be thinking about something frivolous and fun. I’ve had some serious health issues lately that are still working themselves out, so I really just needed a pick me up. Who doesn’t? So here are some pics, my hair is crazy curly these days, and recently I even cut it, by myself, after doing some online reading about how to do it, and I LOVE my hair right now! It’s so bouncy and light and off my neck! My last hair appointment before the quarantine shut down. Got pneumonia had to go to ER for Covid tests and all the fun stuff. Thankfully it was quickly fixed with antibiotics I am trying to grow out my grey and embrace the “sparkle” but, it’s hard without a good colorist, or cut, so I made it through the shut down with manic panic ultra violet. 🤷🏻♀️😂 4th of July, didn’t go anywhere of ...
Someone posted on my memorial day post something about Blogging for Peace on June 6th. Well, I'm not against Peace, but I am also behind all our soldiers, and their mission. One of those soldiers is my big brother, pictured here. He is soon to depart on his second tour in IRAQ. His primary mission is to help restore the Infrastructure of the country, by getting the power systems up and running again.
ReplyDeleteHe is also teaching the Iraqi engineers how to do it themselves. The old "Teach a man to fish" idea. When asked if he would end this war today if he could, his response would be a definite NO! He can see the big picture, he has been in the trenches, shaken hands with the people we have sworn to protect. He has seen action, death, and victory in ways we don't even want to imagine.
When asked if I would "Blog for Peace" My response is .... How about Peace of mind? Do you know WHY you have the freedom to run a campaign like blogging for a cause? Because soldiers like my big brother, gladly volunteer to go to other countries, under the banner of freedom, and to fight to give them a chance at the kind of life we americans take for granted. So they too can live with PEACE OF MIND.
Have a great WW!! my husband is a soldier too.
ReplyDeleteGod bless our soliders!!
ReplyDeleteVery well said! And...WOW!...your brother is a HANDSOME soldier ;-) He deploys Sept or Oct less than a month after moving kiddos and I to Hawaii. Pray for him!!

ReplyDeleteHi sis! How did you find your way here? Welcome!! huggles to the nieces and nephews :)
We have been "lurking" for awhile ~keeping up with all the East Coasters :) I need an easier to way to update and stay in touch and send pics than a bazillion emails ~ so here I be :)
ReplyDeleteHugs to Grant and Samantha too :) Can't believe I have never even met your little people! :(
Good for you. I chose to honor June 6's WW by noting it's the anniversary of D-Day. Thank you to your brother and thank you to my kids' great uncles and thank you to all the other soldiers and veterans.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to find a soldier, including my husband or his two brothers that WANTS to be deployed, yet all of them also see the usefulness and can say that there is definite progress being made that isn't being talked about enough . . . great post!!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks to your brother! Great pics!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post--well said--he must make his mother very proud :)
