molly looks for change.

I think it basically began with my hair.

When I was fifteen years old, a boy, who will remain anonymous, told me that he only found girls with long hair attractive. Beginning that day I started to grow out my hair. And then for the next nine years I kept it decently long. Cutting about eight inches off once, only to quickly grow it back.

I have had nearly a decade of long hair. And when I looked in the mirror, every day, I would see the same thing. Me. Molly. 5'10", a 'lots to love' figure, bushy black eyebrows, green eyes, a button nose I never grew out of, and dark brown hair that fell down my back in un-mangaged waves, resting sometimes near the tops of my hips.

Then one day, I looked in the mirror, and realized that I wasn't happy with my life, and I was especially unhappy about my hair. After living life the same way for so long, I realized that I was ready for some real changes in my life. New Year's Eve 2011, I had dark brown, wavy, long hair. And now as the year comes to a close, I am enjoying life as a curly haired redhead, with a short bouncy coif. And I have to say, now from experience, that redheads have more fun! :)

I sat down in a stylist's chair twice (it took steps to get to where I am) and said, "I want change. Give me change."

And here I am. A new woman. Looking every day for new and exciting ways to find change, and to create change in my life (I'm a diet now to tame some of that "love-chub").  And because of all of this I thought it was important to start a new blog.

Now, a new hemisphere? Here I come! (gulp)

(I had started dying my hair already,
but it was still dark)
