In July 2022 I started considering to stop dyeing my hair.
But I wasn't altogether sure if I would
Then the unthinkable happened.
I lost my daughter Lucy.
And suddenly going grey felt like a beautiful way to mark the before and after in my life.
When I'm seemingly doing nothing, I'm at my most productive.
I have discovered something about myself: I am very sensitive to shopping triggers. Don't know what those are? Let me explain: shopping triggers, are triggers that make you want to shop! Shopping triggers My shopping triggers are: Junk mail eBay Walking through the mall Pinterest Blogs with cute stuff you can buy The promise of...
It's lonely at the top, so I had taken some time out of my busy schedule, to like myself on Facebook. A lot. I was very pleased with the result, because obviously, I was a popular girl! But my joy was shortlived, because soon after, my eldest son came down the stairs, laughing so hard...
Last night happened, what many had feared: our little nest was cruelly murdered! Scully and Mulder suspect an evil squirrel made his way through the kitchen window, and hid in the cupboard till everyone had gone to bed. Then this evil squirrel made his way to the little nest and had himself a dinner party....
I seem to have a knack for writing posts that don't inspire any comments. Whereas others score about 50 comments by publishing a post about how their cat is really losing a lót of hair this year, my emotional outpours fall flat. It's the one thing that sometimes makes me feel like giving up on...
I've never been a big fan of parent participation at school. Sure, I felt a bit nostalgic when my five children started school, but it also meant I'ld finally get some peace and quiet, and some much needed time to myself. Or so I thought, because soon they started pouring in: the requests to help...

I hear you. Last year was my going gray year too. I love that I'm embracing it and I think it looks lovely on both of us.
Thanks so much for sharing this with Sweet Tea & Friends this month dear friend.
Your going grey story is very heart-wrenching, but beautiful at the same time. I started my going grey journey about 5 years ago, and am loving it! I get tons of compliments on my hair from both young and old!
First of all I want to say I am so sorry to hear you lost your Daughter last year.....but neat that it was representative of your life before and after......
I went gray about 5-6 years ago myself, and have fully embraced it, as I thought I am a Grandmother
shouldn't I look like one.....and I am fine with being called Grammy or Grandmother as well. I remember joking with a friend that was talking about watching her Grandchildren and even tho she loved every minute of it......too many days were getting the best of her energy levels.....and she wondered why her adult children didn't get that and I said you know what.....we have to quit coloring our hair cause they don't know how old we really are.......lol
but then I got thinking about that and how true it is.....so since there were lots of younger women
dying their hair silver, I thought now is the perfect time to do it............so I did, and have never looked back or regretted it............and it is much easier and think it looks good on us.
According to Proverbs 16:31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor!
