The day I had my head shaved, it was cool, so I wore this leather jacket. When I donned my soon to be favorite scarf, I realized that I had a bit of a bad-girl biker chick look going on. And I liked it! As soon as I put the scarf on, Sally and I knew that we’d need pictures of that look!
Upon seeing the pictures from that day, one friend commented that I looked like a warrior, ready to head into battle. I liked that analogy, and somehow “warrior” got attached to this photo in my mind, too. More than one friend who’s gone through breast cancer has commented that she never wanted to go out without her wig, fearing that she would look weak, sick. That people would pity her. I’m sure some people pitied me, but they never treated me like that. I told these friends that I always felt like it showed strength to put on a scarf, some good lipstick, and a smile. And now with more hair and little air of “sickness” to me, I think I’ve never looked stronger than in these pictures. (Many thanks again to Sally for capturing such lasting images of strength.)
