Back on October 31, I posted a picture of myself with red hair. I also blabbed on and on about whether or not I should finally stop dyeing my grey hair.
If you remember, the hairdresser said I would have to grow it out and it would take a year. Gulp.
Well, I went back again yesterday and this was the result.
At praise-team practice last night, a few of the vocalists mentioned how cute it was. I kind of forgot I’d even had it done…rushing around all day and all so that I could get to the church on time.
Two other friends texted and asked, “Do you love it?”
I responded, “I’ve been too busy to even notice it.” I think that’s a glorious thing. I don’t want to be fretting over my appearance this coming year. It’s just hair. Meant to keep my head warm. (Trust me, when you’re bald from chemo, your head gets super cold.)
I was having too much fun playing music for Jesus with a bunch of other talented musicians. Now, that’s something to focus on.
About Marie de Haan
Marie is a gifted pianist, playing since the age of nine. As a teenager, she composed mainly instrumental piano music. She released her powerful debut single, “I Am Broken,” on October 22, 2020, a song whose creation drew heavily upon the trauma she endured as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Marie held a benefit concert on September 10, 2021, in Skagit County. A portion of the proceeds went to CrossRoads Youth Ranch; this local organization—through equine therapy—empowers “at-risk and sexually exploited youth to heal, grow, and thrive.” She has continued to write music: Christian, folk, and country. Marie loves hiking, gardening, and photography. The Pacific Northwest—where she lives with her husband—is the backdrop for her favorite activities.
