2012 Resolutions for Another Year of Alopecia

[Susan Beausang]

Given how much seems to have fit into the year 2011, I’m hoping that 2012 is comparatively insignificant, OR if significant, significant for reasons other than cheating/beating/living with cancer.  If Alopecia is my biggest emotional challenge for the year 2012, then I’ll consider it a fabulous year.  I’m planning ahead for just such a year with my 2012 resolutions.  To all my family, friends, and customers, I wish you the very best in 2012.

1) I will stop staring at my bald spots in the mirror;

2) I will choose not to pay attention to people who stare;

3) I will offer an informed response when people ask about my hair loss and use it as an opportunity to educate them;

4) I will reach out to others with hair loss and share my experiences;

5) I will stop looking for new bald spots and testing each and every new hair;

6) I will stop searching the internet for hair loss cures and solutions;

7) I will make sure that my bald friends know just how beautiful they are to me;

8 I will share the beaubeau experience with as many bald and beautiful women as possible;

9)  I will organize my collection of beaubeau scarves and treat them with respect;

10) I will do my best to continue to create new and beautiful items to help women and girls maintain their style during hair loss.
