Under Control

Celia's hair, wavy and wild, is (relatively) under control, thanks to a gift from Maya's Curls Hair Bows and Accessories, one of several vendors who participated in the local sale last weekend to benefit BDSRA.

We realize, and are reminded daily - every time we think about Celie’s diagnosis, actually - that we have very little control in life.  And yet we’re still trying to accept that.  We spent years operating under the pretense that control is a commodity we could collect, a blanket we could stretch until it safely covered our entire lives.  It takes time to unlearn that kind of thinking.  Each unpredictable event is a chance for us to lament our lack of control.   Or, an opportunity to find strength in surrender.
