All Off

I love old movies and one of my favorites is Roman Holiday. In it Audrey Hepburn plays a princess who wants to take a break from her duties and be a regular everyday girl. She takes some time for herself and does some wonderfully entertaining things. One of the first things she does is get her hair cut. She sits down in the chair and says, "All off." It is a change that is shocking but beautiful, and done for herself alone.

Yesterday I decided that I wanted a dramatic hair cut. I didn't tell anyone about it. It was a decision I made all on my own without looking for anyone's input or affirmation. It felt fabulous! Who knew a secret haircut could be so liberating? I guess Audrey Hepburn did.
