March 30

Charm is both my hairdresser (though don't blame her for the current state of my locks -- that's entirely on me) and my friend, so it was a blessing to have some unplanned chat-time with her at the Mother Ship this morning.

When she dropped into the chair across from me with her coffee cup, she explained that she was killing some time before an appointment downtown. And so we spent the next hourish or so talking about this and that.

I so appreciate her directness and her kind heart, and I love how she always stands up for her kids and for those who need a voice.

She's opinionated for sure and we don't agree on everything, but knowing her is certainly a blessing.
