I am not a person that likes to share my photo. Perhaps it comes from my childhood. I was one of those extremely shy kids that wanted to hide behind her mother’s skirts. Those days have pretty much evaporated. No, I am not one that likes to display myself very easily. I am still very modest. But I am a far cry from who I was a number of years back!
I thank my prior boss, Wendy, for chipping the remainder of that shyness away from me. I recently met back up with Wendy, online, and we are both overjoyed to have our connections again. She was, and still is, very inspirational to me. Inspirations in our lives is one of my upcoming blog post topics.
Anyhow…out with the old…in with the new. The 5 year old photo that I use on all of my accounts is going to go “poof,” and I am determined to keep up with the new. Love my salt and pepper hair, ladies (and gents)…I no longer color. And I am proud of it!

I never have colored, I’m scared of that dye stuff.
Hi Joanna, probably a smart move on your part. I used to hi-lite blonde, then I went brunette (natural color). Per my husband and sister’s urging, I stopped trying to keep up with it. I have never regretted giving up on the dye bottle!
Every time I see a picture of me, I think it’s one of the aunts. But no! They are all dead; it’s me. That old lady is me! I don’t like pictures of me either, but I dye:D
I like, like, like the new photo! I think you look younger in it than the previous photo.
I wish I could give up the dye bottle….I had , and still have enough dark brown hair that when the gray and white come in I get that ‘skunk’ look, you know, the white stripe down the middle of my head.
I decided when my eyebrows and eyelashes go white, then I will quit coloring…..but I hate the effort and money that requires , especially since most of my life my long hair has been pretty much a wash,dry, curl ( to prevent frizz) every 3 or 4 days chore. Oh well, I like your hair!
Also, for the almost 1 year I did attempt to go gray, my grandchildren were seriously concerned for me, and like Debbie said, I saw a picture of me that way and my first reaction was ” who is that old lady?”.
I believe I like the new picture better!
I have begun at add a few grays and have thought about highlighting. Still in the thinking stages though.
