A person once told me that it takes a special personality to pull off hair like mine. I'm not really sure if that was a compliment--to my hair or my personality. Then she said she might shave off my hair in the middle of the night. Once again--not sure if she wanted to steal it or destroy it. Either way, I didn't sleep well for the rest of the week.
What I hope she meant, and how I try to live, is to never be boring. God gave us the whole earth and my intention is to see and experience as much of it as possible while I'm here. There is way too much to do in our short life span to be bored. You don't have to be a world traveler to be an adventurer. Don't get me wrong, I do love to travel, but there are ways to experience more of the world even in your own slice of earth. Read a new book, try a new recipe, walk a new trail through the woods. Take risks then use your experiences to encourage others.
I'm a mother of a nine-month-old daughter and every time I strap her into her car seat I ask her if she's ready for an adventure. She is learning at a young age that life should never be boring. Her hair isn't curly (yet), but it is red. We're a couple of crazy-haired girls with personalities to match. Daddy, and the rest of the world, watch out!
