Good video, Patty, very thought provoking...EZ
Hey Patty.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
For the record, I believe that people who know how to work with hair are in the category of healers. One of my best Christmas gifts was discovering this itty bitty one-woman salon in walking distance of my house. The stylist even moonlights as a spiritual counselor. Like you, she seems to find her work to be her play. How lucky for clients!
May 2008 be really good to you...
Thank you for visiting, San. You always have the nicest things to say. I work with many older clients and some who have gone through Chemotherapy. It is very gratifying to make people feel better about themselves. I also have clients who grow their hair out and then let me cut it off to donate to Locks of Love.
Patty,
Another beautiful post. Keep up the great work. ou are a thoughtful and inspiring friend.
Jack
