A Fresh New Look

So, I got my hair cut today. I’ve worn it long for quite some time now – usually in a ponytail or clip – and I’m a little tired of it. I tend to chicken out when it comes to major change, so I figured I’d just get a trim and color touch up. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?

It’s been this length for quite a while now.

Except it’s almost always in a clip or ponytail. You can’t even tell I have hair, right?

So it occurred to me it might be time for a change. But what? A purple streak? An asymmetrical layered bob? A pixie cut? The possibilities are endless.

I’ve tried a few different styles over the years and my three very fashionable daughters have provided much helpful feedback. “Don’t ever do that again, Mom,” is a favorite comment, when looking through old photos. “I love your hair exactly as it is,” my husband reminds me regularly. Very sweet, except for the glint of fear in his eye.

Best hair day ever. [cue evil laugh]

Aaand then there’s this. Fantastic day. But not for hair.

Change can be scary – but it can be great, too.

My publisher is currently re-covering all the books in my first contemporary romance series, THREE RIVER RANCH. Two of the books are keeping the original art, but updating the look. And three of them have received total make-overs. And let me say, I love them all! What do you think? Which one’s your favorite?

As far as my hair goes, this is where I landed.

Can you see what I did?

How about now?
