Well, I have been trying to reset the time on my blog so that it accurately reflects when I am writing. Imagine my surprise when the post I wrote at 6am and starts with Good Morning – says it was posted at 4:07pm in the afternoon.
Today is Monday, and I am a bit under the weather due to allergies – but otherwise things are going extraordinarily well.
I have lots of things to focus on right now, as we head into the end of the year – like how do I help to raise a million dollars for this work? If you have ideas, I would love to hear them.
I am so passionate about the value of this work: and TLC has done so much with so little. People often think of us as a big organization, and we are not. Many just assume that finances flow our way from the government, foundations, etc., and that is just not the truth of the matter. Where the vast majority of our support comes from is individuals like you who have been impacted, either themselves, or by loving someone with these problems.
The average donation is small, yet does so much good.
So as we near the holiday season, and you consider your charity giving, think about this:
How much has trich and/or picking impacted your life, your heart, your self-esteem, and for how long?
There are many worthy organizations doing very necessary work. But there is only ONE that is focused on THIS problem – seeking effective treatment for THIS population, and it is TLC.
So I ask you to give between $5 -$500 (like that spread?! ) per year that you or a loved one has suffered to support the work of TLC. Here’s the link!

And thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Love to all, Christina

Christina,
Just a note from the Gunter family of Alabama. Adam is now in his 5th month of no picking. Not a hair, eyelash or eyebrow. The doctor has reduced his Risperdal by 1/2. Still no picking! He had so much weight gain that they were concerned. We are going to celebrate his 6 month anniversary with his class at school, Nov 23. Pizza party. They are as proud of Adam as we are. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Grateful to TLC forever.
