The Meaningful Chop






So I happen to have a daughter who doesn't mind having long hair, but also doesn't mind having short hair, either. I know....just lucky:) Anyways, we were planning on getting her hair cut, and thought...hmmm. I wonder if we could go short enough and donate it to a good cause. So we checked it out and there is an organization called "Pantene Beautiful Lengths" that allows you to donate 8 inches (instead of the usual 10 that Locks of Love requires). So we actually ended up with 9 inches cut off, put it in a plastic baggie, and shipped it off with love to someone who will put that hair with others and make a wig for someone who has lost it due to cancer. Amanda felt really good about it, and feels like she has made a difference in someone else's life. It is amazing what little things we can do to make a difference in the world.
We took a picture of her with her hairdresser, Brittany, who also happens to be a good friend of ours.
