Another Braid Donated to Locks of Love

Image
Those of you who have gotten used to me having a long braid running down my back will have to get used to me with short hair as I donated another braid to Locks of Love this week. I traditionally have done this around my December birthday, but I have some book signings coming up at an out-door festival soon, so I decided now was the time to cut my hair!
