Celebrating Deborah!

This has been a week of delight! Much entertaining in our cool and lush garden- friends, family, joyful ease and laughing conversations. I have 'come out' as a bald headed woman! Strange looks from some when walking in shopping centers and I am still surprised when I see myself in a mirror as I walk. But summer has really begun here and it is good to have a cool head!
Talia bought me some false eyelashes and we are learning to put them on.. Steve bravely attempted to paint on my eyebrows on Wednesday evening... 

My hair and my eyes are two parts of me that I have always so loved, appreciated and enjoyed. It is a strengthening lesson to have them disappear. Although they will return - maybe in a different way - I do feel naked without them.
It was an easy post-chemo time... only fatigue and a strange taste in my mouth for a while. I am sure that being surrounded by complete family dislodged any other symptoms!
And now off to do some exciting Thinking Environment work with friend/colleagues. It is always such a supportive pleasure to work with others.

    http://www.breastcancerstory.co.uk/ is the story of a girl in the UK who is having a very different experience to you, though she is bringing much to help others. You may have something to share. Love

    Hi Steve,
    Elizabeth Arden does eyebrows that you can brush on, i.e. with a stiff little brush that they supply. Will send the url by email as this won't let me copy and paste. If anyone else wants to see it, go to www.ElizabethArden.com and navigate to Makeup and then to Brows. I've been using this for years as it is much more natural than a pencil and easier to use. I'm coming to Cape Town in 2 weeks and would be happy to bring some with me - just let me know. Oh, just realized Talia is a makeup artist. She may have something even better to suggest :)
    Much Love to Maryse and yourself,
    Anna
