A strand of silver hair on the shoulder, quickly brushed off, is of no consequence to the causal observer, but what if that single stray strand has a story to tell?
Sally, I love this introduction into Strands of Silver and its meaning. How true and wise that we cannot understand a segment of life without the whole. Your words invite me into your story and I want to read more. Your reference to the one silver strand of hair is such a poignant moment, one we can all visualize but not yet feel the weight of. Well done dear friend.
Sally, I found your writing at a time during the pandemic when life had become so overwhelming for me. I reached out to you after reading your story about FFA on a Facebook group. You DM’d me such a lovely personal response. Your words calmed me, yet also propelled me into action after a period of mourning my own new alopecia diagnosis. I’ve continued to follow you and your posts never fail me. You are a truly gifted writer and I’m so glad to have found you when I did. Many thanks!
You've done a beautiful job of telling your story and setting the stage for the meaning of your title and a foundation for your future writing. Well done!

Oh Sally, this is so powerful. You write so beautifully, so vividly, you reach into our hearts as you share the story of what yours has experienced and how you have experienced it. How you describe the visceral pain in your heart and all the ways your body has grieved and how you've experienced that. Your writing is a gift, truly, full of realness, hope, tenderness, love, care, comfort... I am SO glad you are sharing your beautiful words here, and pray that others who will draw such comfort from them will be guided to them. This is an extraordinary reflection. SO much love to you. ❤️
Sally, I have admired you since the first time you responded to an online post about my FFA. Thank you for being my guiding light in those early days of my diagnosis, and for continuing to shine your light into some of the deepest and darkest traumas we’ve all experienced. That light is healing! 💕
What can I say, Sally? your writing always comes from deep inside your heart, and because of that, it cannot fail to touch the hearts of your readers. You know that I am full of admiration for you .... for all that you are, and for how you are coping with all that life has thrown at you. You have certainly had more than your fair share of heartache. Hugs to you my friend.
