The Chronicles of Narnia

Rating A

I know it has been a long time since my last book report, and here is why. I made it through all 7 books in the Chronicle of Narnia series. It was a great read, but did slow down towards the end of the series. This is a fantasy that moves very quickly from trouble to a rescue, and has a great message of redemption all the way through. I would highly recommend a read from the first book to the last, because you go from the creation of Narnia, to its end.

This will be a series that Jen and I will read to our children because of the great themes that it teaches. Aslan is a great lion, that is just, merciful, and all knowing, and you see how he interacts with Narnia, and its people. Here is a link to Amazon, if you wanted to purchase the set. It is well worth it. A rating, a must read!!!

Locks of Love

So... today was the end of a long journey that began over two years ago. A friend from Atlanta told me of a Christmas where everyone in her family gave of themselves instead of giving gifts one year. She had learned of an organization that accepted donations of hair and would then create beautiful hair pieces for children with diseases that caused them to be bald, Locks of Love. What a wonderful gift! To be able to sacrifice something of yourself so that someone else can feel a little less 'odd.' I was in-- I just didn't know it would take so long for my hair to reach a length long enough for a donation! So today, thanks to a great friend and amazing stylist, I chopped off my locks and got a new do too. Here is my first pic sans inches and what feel like pounds of hair. It's a little weird-- I've never had short hair before and I keep reaching back to put it in a ponytail, but I would recommend the experience to anyone able to give. :) Read more about the opportunity to give and see the finished product at locksoflove.org
