Our stylisteners are the women behind the scenes of life that provide care and attention to our needs. Your poem is a tribute to them.

Thanks for reminding us to remember how important each of us are to one another Heidi!

My hairdresser of more than 15 years recently moved out of state and I miss her terribly. Over the years we developed a relationship that can't be replaced. How lucky you were to find Lindsey, whose magical ability to "comb/each strand into a/braided tale..." is a true gift. Your poem is perfect, Heidi.

May we always expect..." This poem is beautiful, Heidi. I think I have stuck with and followed my stylist for exactly this reason. And, why I will give her this poem from you to me to her as a gift. I am wowed by this. What a tribute for the day.

There must be. <br />I just did a quick google and discovered that in the UK, a mystery poet sent poems to salons: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-tees-34212458 :-)Tabathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367572663591077922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084574475796190316.post-18547327903380574192019-03-08T22:09:51.652-05:002019-03-08T22:09:51.652-05:00This is a lovely tribute, Heidi.

On our cruise to Antarctica, we were asked if we were entertainers (No) part of the crew (No) - if we'd travelled with the ship before (No - why?) because we greeted the stewards and wait-staff by name and often chatted with them. (Yes? Why not?)<br /><br />I love that you wrote this poem for all those vital people! Also, how do stylists remember so many details??!?

Will you share it with her? My stylist, Julie, and I have learned more & more about each other as the months go by. She is a huge volunteer for the homeless here & we trade stories of what we're doing. It has been wonderful to get to know her. And, the women caregivers for my husband in the home where he lived cared for me, too. I will be forever grateful to their caring ways. (And I made sure I told them, too.)
