Well hello again my friends –
As you may recall, a few months ago, I made a promise to our local schools and this Thursday I had to keep my promise.
Because of this promise, I am now green and will stay green until the parade of banners on May 5th.
As you may recall, a few months ago, I made a promise to our local schools and this Thursday I had to keep my promise.
Because of this promise, I am now green and will stay green until the parade of banners on May 5th.
Dare to Dream a local school Challenge:
The winning school that had one hundred percent of teachers and students participating in the world’s longest banner for organ & tissue donation.
Therefore on the 20th of December 2012 - The winner of this Challenge, TA Norris Middle School in Peace River AB, had the opportunity to dye my hair that was once dark brown hair into a bright green.
Before the dye went into my hair I informed the student and teachers that this was not an easy thing for me to do, since I am one of those people that like to blend into the crowd. I also stated that I have no problem with others dying their hair but this just isn’t something that I would personally do.
I was very thankful that they had gone all out for the cause and it was time to keep the promise that I had made.
The steps the process that I had to go through was a bit intimidating since others kept warning me that my hair could all fall out etc. and that basically what I was doing was a crazy thing to do.
My response to them was, people shave their heads for cancer all the time….what I am doing is promoting the cause for organ & tissue donation…..Green is the color for life and new beginnings…therefore I am going green…if my hair falls out etc. Then ….so be it!!!
I must say for a process that I found to be so intimidating, it actually ended up being quite liberating and it felt good to let go of my fears.
The night before I went into the school I tried to bleach my hair.
I was shocked that after 2 hours of bleaching my hair turned out to be RED!
Then I had to bleach it again and this took another hour!
After this I'm beinging to ask myself .....
Is my hair going to fall out??!!!
Well now this is really a new look for me and I think of the saying...
Blonde's have more fun....hummmm...I wonder....but there is no stopping now!
I am now in front of the students and staff in TA Norris School and they cheer me on...
"Hey this is starting to feel o.k...I'm letting go of my fears !!"
I am now GREEN....and
I think Blonde's might have more fun but I know that Green will do more good !!
Now I am ready for May 5th, 2013
Well my friends, I want to thank you for all your support and I wish you all a Christmas and a New year filled with many blessings.
Maria
