The beauty has not left you...nor will it leave you...
ReplyDeleteThin hair or no hair...
You simply radiate kindness and thoughtfulness.
I love the twinkle in your eye.
I am so glad that you are feeling well!
I did not know about the makeup and chemo. Is that because of the risk of infection?
Thank you so much for featuring my Chelsea's blog. You should have seen her face! Sheer joy!
She left you a comment on that post.

Deena,
ReplyDeleteYou are so beautiful even with your new hairdo. God shines through in your face and in your soul. Do not worry about the hair loss. It will come back in curly and strong.
I know how self conscious thinning hair can make a woman. Mine is very thin. I lost a lot of it after my accident.
Have a blessed day my friend. I love you.
Love and hugs,
Mary

I couldn't have said it better than Lori @ Katie's Rose Cottage. Jesus does shine through your eyes and is the essence of who you are. I too posted pics of the snow. It is beautiful. I always feel like snow is God's way of cleaning the earth and getting it ready for new birth.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
LeAnn :)
Hugs Deena. It must be difficult losing the hair, but if for every hair, that's going, the more cancer cells are being attacked. wow!
ReplyDeleteJoys: call from daughter, going out driving with daughter-in-law, watching teenagers draw beautiful pictures.
Good Morning Deena,
ReplyDeleteI am up and feeling better today and did a new post and trying to catch up with everyone again. I didn't even feel like visiting anyone yesterday. Your hair still looks beautiful as well as you do. Don't let the losing of the hair bother you, it will come back again. "PRAISE GOD" you are feeling good and having some good days. Sounds like Rich is treating you like the Queen you are. "PRAISE GOD" again for a wonderful hubby that you have to stand by you during this difficult time. Those kind are one in a kind these days. I am joyous that I am feeling better today. I am joyous that my DH will be home later tonight to spend the night. I am joyous that you are having some good days and feeling good. I am joyous that you have a wonderful hubby by your side. I have been reading your previous post's as well. That Chocolate Candy looks so good. Chelsea does a great job in her Artwork of Chocolate. Your hubby and his brother sure do favor alot. You can tell they are brothers. LOL. I will have to go and see the pictures of the Snow you got. We got just a tad here this past Friday night. It was a wet Snow and didn't really stick, but it did stick a bit on the top of our vehicle. I was going to try and take a picture of it with my Cell Phone, but it was way too dark. I sure will be glad to get my new Camera in. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God continue to Bless You and Yours.
Love, Hugs, & Prayers,
Karen H.
Your just as beautiful as ever. The love of God shines from your face and through your writting. Your an Angel. Your a very special person. Your are so blessed in so many ways. Having hair or not doesn't matter,Having you does.
ReplyDeleteLove and Prayers
I bet you are going to have the cutest little head! Probably a perfect little one......think about this. Your little bald head has not been exposed since you were in your mommy's arms! WOW. Hair is just a detail anyway. You are so much more than that. I am so thankful you are feeling strong and smiling that big smile of thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteYou have a gorgeous face and your skin is amazing. You look beautiful and will no matter what the days ahead bring. It is true, only God can comfort at times like this and joy is found in the unexpected. Prayers for you.
ReplyDeleteYou still look lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are still feeling good...what a big blessing!!
We also have some new beautiful white snow!
what a wonderful blessing you are sharing your joys...your doubts...your fears.....and your disappointments with us so we can pray with you, rejoice with you, encourage you, and weep with you...
ReplyDeletewhen your hair finally all leaves you there will be nothing to stand in the way of your true beauty....your eyes will shine bright with no bangs to distract....
this is the story my hubby tells... and I believe him!!!
I have you on my prayer board for Friday morning....for the entire day!!!
Love and Hugs,
Mimi
Gorgeous!

You are looking beautiful! My thoughts and prayers are with for your second chemo. Your home looks so lovely in the background.
ReplyDeleteHugs! Nancy
I'm off to see the snow...
Deena:
ReplyDeleteMy daughter recovered from her leukemia 6 years ago. Chemo treatment was so difficult and was supposed to have prevented her from having any children. She is now cancer free and just had her second child last year. God is good and faithful. You are most courageous to share your experience and testimony with us. I will pray for you at Mass tomorrow.
God bless.
There were a few years that I knew your online designs, graphics and art. I found you by happenstance one day. When I needed a lift I would go find "Sweet Annie's" and see what colors or what graphics she had showing me her inner world. Finally one day I felt "urged" to connect with you and to tell you how much I loved the beauty you saw with your eyes...your talent. You had/have a "way" about how you saw things and then put them together so...so fine...so feminine...so innocently...so distinctly you. That photo of "the brothers" couldn't have been more stunning!
ReplyDeleteThey should cherish it the rest of their lives. You have an eye like no other. I am so grateful for your eyes. I am so glad I got to know the voice/soul behind the eyes. I knew your beauty way before I ever saw your picture. I am grateful for my eyes to have seen what you create. I am grateful for having the sense to finally have called you before we knew of this journey you would be taking. I am grateful for all you did to enable me to put what I "see/saw" into reality on your Primitive Gathering and my picturetrail. You taught me a whole new medium that I would have never ever even tried. You took me flying through web world's as if we were two of those characters in those online games! You are and always will be a rush! Your eyes and your artist's mind are beautiful. Thank you so very much.

Deena, beauty is in the spirit. However, in these photos, all I see, from top to bottom, is one beautiful soul. Love is in the eye and a smile is in the heart. Oh, and say hello to the possum for me. I think his brother visits our backyard. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Deena, hey it's only hair. It'll be back.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for Friday.
Alison
Your new hair cut is so dang cute, I don't even notice it getting thinner. I am so thankful for the treatments of cancer today that being bald is not even a ....a....
ReplyDeletean ISSUE !! Praise God for all HIS love, kindness, forgivness....for just BEING.

Oh, and I meant to ask...how do you fix your hair? I mean, what do you put on it to dry into such a cute fashion? A gel of some sort? What kind? I am ALWAYS so fighting with a hair style and your's is soooo cute.....
