OOOO. Next time take a photo and email it to me! I'd like some company. I promise not to share it, unless you give me permission.

PS: In the interest of transparency, the second photo was taken professionally for my upcoming book. I didn't create that transformation this morning. It took quite a bit of work!

Stay safe!

Thank you very much. I needed that.

I was doing laundry and second guessing my decision to post...

I laughed out loud! I love your gutsy vulnerability and can also relate to the need to show a more cleaned up version. Thanks for all of it.

I think most every person has a variation of that problem each morning. Thank you for sharing yours.

I feel that my very fine hair does this in the slighted breeze, even after being combed. Add no make-up and a trip to HyVee means I will run into everyone I know.

I had worse bed-head hair than yours, Carol! Your second “well kept” photo is lovely! I still have work to do to get myself presentable to your level! It’s Saturday, the roads are icy, and I think we’ll be watching Dordt University basketball via livestream. I might just resort to saying, “This is as good as it gets today!”🤔🤣

Way to go Carol! I am still grinning and that’s quite an accomplishment on this icy morning!
