My hair loss treatment journey started the day I started to notice my receding hair line and my bald spot getting bigger. I would always find ways to comb my hair in a certain way to hide my hair loss. I started to wear more and more caps on the weekends as I went out with my wife, acquaintances or family. Walking in to work every morning was an embarrassing experience without my hat on. Your mind will do that to you when you are experiencing hair loss. It is so true that you never know what you have until you lose it. That can be true about your hair loss.
As I looked in the mirror I began to treasure every one of the hair strands I had left. It was as if with each individual hair I lost, so was a small percent of my self-confidence gone as well. A acquaintance of mine had been experiencing the same problem as me. Yet recently he seemed so much more relaxed and I noticed that it was as if his hair was growing back. I never wanted to bring it up but after a while I decided to ask. That is when I was recommended to Advanced Hair Studio. With just a few treatments my friend Josh had not only regained his hair, but his self-confidence as well. I decided to give Advanced Hair a try as after all I had a lot to lose, meaning my hair and confidence.
I was a little sceptical at first. But outcomes were evident within a few weeks. Not only on my head, but in my behavior. I began feeling better about myself and started to lose the caps on the weekends. My wife who has been unhappy about my lack of interest in our relationship began to notice the change in that department as well. It is amazing how just a few treatments to the Advanced Hair Studio had begun to change my life as a whole. I have always been cynical about people noticing my bald spot. Now, I am not concerned to look people in the eyes again as I have my full set of hair back.
Advance Hair Studio has not only given me back my hair little by little, but a big piece of my life as well. So, if anyone is going through hair loss I highly recommend them. Don’t let your self-confidence continue to be lost with your hair.

You guys know I am not so miserable, ’cause life can be lonesome without a date. Here’s the scoup, yesterday I ate a whole bag of Oreos. To ease the pain of datelessness, duh! You better believe it was great. Is that even legal? Well, that’s the moment when I honestly considered singles events in Dallas or Denver.
Nothing that can’t be fixed. Figured I’d boost my dating life with professionally hosted Great Expectations Denver singles events. That turned out to be my golden ticket. Loneliness bites, heres why. While eating corn on the cob at George’s graduation in Dallas last week, Mom asked me if I have yet to win the woman I’m going to marry. They always bring this up, every year. My response was, “I’m working on it, chill out.”
No surprise that Cousin Terry doesn’t know when to quit driving home along the lines of marriage. I leveled to all of them: “Seriously, my romantic destiny is right over there!”
Guess what? Everyone looked away and giggled. Irritated, I emailed my astrologist to put my dating woes behind me. But I couldn’t get it out of my head! I didn’t learn a thing. Chuck, who was just deployed on military commission offered his opinion that I join Great Expectations. I said, “That would do the trick.” Should have thought of it myself. I am truly grateful for this Dallas dating service.
When I started, dating services were a novel thing from my perspective. I showed up already a little anxious, that I noticed I wore mismatched socks by accident. A mere slight disaster could not stop the evening. The evening was a great way to start at Great Expectations. The gems of the occasion had to be the other members, some who are my new friends.
It wasn’t long before I was regularly mingling at these splendid Great Expectations Denver singles parties, I got in touch with quite a few winners that must share a like-minded spirit which made for a magnificent singles event. Don’t know why I ever let everyone get on my back about being single. Wonderfully enough, doing things in Dallas with Great Expectations is my pleasure and like a dream come true.

What’s a prize? When we think of that word, we envision playing the lottery and winning the big prize. The dictionary defines the word prize as: accolade, award, reward, or honor. Consider something earth-shattering, that rarely ever happens, like exceptional merit for bravery, a totally unexpected inheritance, or the top lottery prize.
A dream - yes, a big dream - can come to pass! you can go for it and bring it to pass. Not the airy fairy stuff, like winning the lottery. But, no matter how big your dream is, it can come true!
Remember when you were a little tyke and had great aspirations of becoming — (fill in your blank)? Then what happened? Did your dream become a reality? Or did well-meaning teachers and parents implant negative thoughts which eventually eroded your expectations?
We were all excited about what we wanted to be and how much money we were going to save in order to have an early retirement. You’ve been there, haven’t you? Then what happened? Well, the cares of the world, personal relationship problems and feelings of not being up to the job surfaced and eventually overtook the dream, right?
Over the years a lot was heard about the importance of thinking positive thoughts. The implementation of always having positive thoughts was a concept that was easier said than done.
Happiness is a Choice!
A Choice? How can that be? How can happiness be a choice? Is your life not the sum of all the problems and experiences you had to fight off along the way, including upbringing, doctors’ diagnoses of your and/or family members/s’ health problems, etc….and the list goes on?
But, it’s true! We can choose to be as happy as we would ever wish to be! What about past experiences? We can enjoy every day with new zest and expectation, and even start a whole new career - anything you want! Right now!
Right Down the Vision
The most important thing to do with your dream is to write it down. Put it on your desk - right in you face. Why? You’ll see it, talk about it, and dream about it every day. The written word becomes just like a legal document. And, if legal, then of course it is going to happen!
The Spoken Word
Once the vision is in your mind, you Will start speaking about it. To yourself at first and to your closest friends and family. Eventually the more you hear yourself speaking it - in faith - the more it becomes reality. Work it, think it, speak it! By thinking of and speaking in faith the thoughts that will bring you happiness, you are automatically ignoring all the bad thoughts that plagued you before! Reading motivational and inspirational quotes will help keep you on track, as does associating with positive people.
One Day at a Time
The most important thing is to live one day at a time. It keeps to big vision in perspective. Every day you will see positive changes happening. Surround yourself with pictures of what you’re aiming for. If it’s a brand new mini van for your family, cut out a picture of one and stick it in front of your workplace or fridge. Speak and believe the van into being.
In summing up, you will actually discover that the power is within you to bring happiness into your life. You can do it. By seeing it, thinking it and speaking it and refusing to listen to any negative thoughts or words, one day at a time, you will soon experience a different you! You are not a finished product of your past circumstances. You are the product of your thoughts and beliefs! Happiness IS your choice!

Perhaps the most sought after thing in the world is happiness. Our constitution even provides freedom for the pursuit of happiness. People seek out many things in that pursuit . . . power, money, love, sex, food, etc.
Happiness is not something to pursue. It’s a decision we make for ourselves. Will Rogers may have said it best. He said, “Most folks are about as happy as they decide to be!” You have to decide to be happy. You may be amazed how everything else then falls into place!
My wife and I made that decision years ago. It works! But, you have to decide to be happy every day and regardless what happens. That’s not always easy. Sometimes it can be a decision you have to make every other minute. You can always come up with “reasons” to be down, if you let yourself. Know what? You can learn to take even bad times in stride! As one 70 year old man said* concerning what he had learned in his lifetime, “Don’t sweat the small stuff . . . and it’s all small stuff!” It takes practice, but it can be learned. Try it! Make that decision right now!
The Lord can help. You can go to Him in thanksgiving and prayer anytime. Prayer works! It really does. For many people, the problem isn’t believing in God, or that he can help. The challenge is believing that he will help. “Why should He help li’l ‘ole me?” “I’m not important enough for Him to help.” “That’s such a little thing. Why would He help with that?” “Isn’t He too busy with more important things?” “That’s too much to ask!” The fact is . . . He is always there, like a loving parent, to help in any way, at any time. All He asks . . . is that you ask, with faith. Then miracles can happen!
When you decide to be happy, several things occur. The world suddenly seems like a better place to live in. People seem so much easier to deal with. They seem happier. Why weren’t they like that before? Smile, and the world smiles with you? Your job becomes easier. Everything becomes easier! Dreams begin to come true.
Of course, there will always be some who will try to bring you back down to their level. Misery loves company? Perhaps. You may need to distance yourself from these people, if not physically, then at least emotionally. Something else to learn.
Above all . . . BE HAPPY! Pray about it. He will help!
