First paid haircut in 30 years. Prior to that Cheryl cut it.

 

Three things prompted a paid haircut, in chronological order:

  1. Assigned to provide two keynote speeches for a global hair cut franchise
  2. Wanted to see if a brief break from this chore would benefit Cheryl
  3. It was scary because it had been done consistently by the same person for 30 years

The avatar photo was a random coincidence because the photo was taken so that when the next person asked how would you like your hair cut, we could simply use the photo to say, “Like this”.

Been getting a haircut at the establishment ever since – five years and counting.

What if I had asked, “Does thinking that way make you feel like a better Catholic?”

Mind, body, spirit, so let’s give a moment to think about our work today, punch in here.
