He said, you just do it. It's not about being ready. You don't even have to like it. Just do it for the sake of the mitzvah and let the good intentions come when they come. " I'm paraphrasing, but that was essentially his advice and that's just what I did. I've been covering my hair for 8.5 years now and I'm glad I did it this way, because I am comfortable with it now and feel good about it too. But if I had waited until I was "ready", I never would have taken it on. Great post, Allison!!
