When I heard you wore a wig, I was glad!

This comment was so wonderful.

"When I heard  you wore a wig, I was glad!"

The context is really important and it reminded me of the importance of vulnerability and telling people about what is going on beneath the surface.

I was talking to an old friend who I had not seen for many years. We began talking very easily and freely about my hair or lack of it. She had many questions.

Shortly after this, she said, "You know what,  I was glad when I heard, that what you had on your head was not real."  What a strange comment. I had never heard anyone say this before.

And she went on to explain. She said that she sick of my hair always looking so perfect and in place, when the rest of us struggle with volume and roots!

How funny!

What a cute thing to say.

How beautifully honest.

And I had never thought about it from that persepective.

It also reminded me of the value of vulnerability. Had I not talked about this or shared with her that I wore a wig, I might have just irritated her unintenionally. I am glad that I am imperfect. I am glad that I am human too and I am glad that I told her.

So there you have it readers, once again a reminder, that it is good to share our imperfections, as if we don't, we maybe pushing people away, rather than pulling them in.  And let's face it, we need all the help we can get some times!!
