Someone asked me today “Is this book just for bald gals”?  And my reply was absolutely not!  This book is for any and everyone who wants their spirits lifted, who want to laugh, who want to know about the world of “salad dressings” and how simple decisions can overwhelm the soul.  It is for people who like to ride Harley’s, who believe you are tough when you do.  It is for gals that want to be pampered, drink milk shakes, and feel like Sandra Dee.  It is for people who are having a bad day, is that any of you??  I can see you…ah there you go…I see the little nod!  We all have bad days, and when they are magnified by anything, just anything; the hot weather, your clothes are a “little” tighter, the bozo on the freeway that cut you off, or cancer…they can turn ugly!  So this book is for you. It is for the cheerleaders in our lives, the people we all have, that love us, that cheer us on, no matter what we do, they believe in us!  This, this is my Mom.  And for this reason, the doll in the video is named “Peggy” the cheerleader! 

Is this book for cancer survivors?  Yes.  Is it for other people who are not cancer survivors? Yes.  It is unbelievable, but it is hard these days to find anyone who does not know someone with cancer.  Whether it be a sister, a mom, a Aunt, Grandma, girlfriend or wife.  Whether it be a husband, a boyfriend, brother, co-worker or a friends friend, this book is for all of them and it is for those who love them to maybe understand a little better through the eyes of someone who has been there, who has decided not to let it hold them back, not to let it sit on her shoulders like a creature in the dark, but to face it, laugh about it, cry about it, and move on!!! 

Is it for gals with no hair? Yes.  When you are sick, tired, confused, scared and don’t know which way to turn, then add the fact that you look like a cue ball with eyes, there is no hiding from it.  For a time, you can not get away from it, and this book is for that, to take a break, to look in the mirror and laugh!!  Laugh at the hair you have drawn for yourself, and to keep looking at it all day when you pass the mirror to remind you to laugh and to respect however it is that you are feeling.  It is also a “mirror meter” as well, for family members and friends.  If you are just not sure what is in the cards for the day (good day, bad day, just don’t know day) sneak in the bathroom and look in the mirror.  If it is “Biker Gal” or “Medusa” drawn on the mirror, run and hide and mind yourself all day, but be supportive.  If it is a cheerleader, do some cheering, if it is “Towel Gal” give a little massage, but mostly if you look and get caught before the artwork is completed, and all you see is the beautiful person looking in the mirror, love them for exactly who they are and who they have always been, just the way they are! And remember to say, “You, my dear, look MARVELOUS”!
