'"how does one become a butterfly?" she asked.
"you must want to fly so much
that you are willing to give up being
a caterpillar."'
and so the hair inspiration for graduation was butterflies... (the dye is wet here - so very intense looking)
a ladybug for luck (and because we love them so)...

words to remember and learn (and relearn over and over) until you unshakably live by them... may she learn faster than i -
I think you can be excused. Graduation doesn't happen every day!
ReplyDeleteDon't we learn by example? Well, somewhat. It appears that she has learned and embraced independance. How many girls had shaved and painted heads that showed the world they are their own person? Lets hope that she continues to embrace her inner zen. I think she is on the right track.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a job well done...both of you.

Did I mention bead soup? Nope!
She will go far in life because she has the guts to be her own person! Good for her - and congratulations to you both! She is a beautiful girl ~~~
