Scarlet Red


Last night Hansel and I were at the store when this women with the most vibrant, juicy, scarlet red hair walked past us. Hansel turned to me and said exactly what I was thinking "You should dye your hair that color again!."

It's funny...because I've been thinking about it alot.

I used to have scarlet red hair and I LOVED it! But something happened-- somewhere on my journey-- because "of work" or because I was a "professional" or because I need to be "responsible" or because I'm "getting older" I toned down the red for something more natural.

Natural smatural is what I say.

I want to let go of feeling safe.
I want to redefine what being professional means to me.
I want to forget what is expected of me
and remember what it feels like to be brave.

I want to have scarlet red hair once again.

OMG! I just had a dream last night about having super bright red hair (I know, I know, my hair is already bright red). But it was super duper bright. Is this a sign!?

Go for it, I say! :)
