This week I decide to do a Hands-Down-A-Thon over the Summer in preparation for All Join Hands Week.

Last year I felt in a comfortable place with my pulling. I had virtually stopped all scalp pulling and was OK with occasionally pulling from my beard, sideburns and other areas. I felt that was a hard won victory and I needed to savor that for a while. I had also felt I that I was in a place where I wanted to pay attention to some other areas of my life "mobile" and let trich take a back burner for the first time in years.

But this year I feel ready to challenge myself again and really focus on letting myself become pull-free, or at least a lot closer. I don't imagine it's going to be easy, but I do want to grow beyond this plateau I've been on and I feel ready. I also feel a lot better about other parts of my life right now, and hopefully have the energy to really becoming even more aware about my pulling and other ways I can sooth myself. Also I think it'll be a great way to raise some money for TLC and bring more awareness to all the great work that's being done.

If anyone is interested, there's still time to sign-up
