Beard Zen.

Sunday. A day of worshipful contemplation for many Abrahamic and other religious faiths, and a day of rest for most before diving back into the grind of the work week.

And for us, on Day 15, it is a day of focus and meditation on facial mane thickening. We are the Bearding Monks of HoNoToGroABeMo, and we follow the Zen path.

Today is also an excellent time, as we end the first half of the month, to meditate on the amazing donations we've received thus far for breast cancer research. As I type this, we've hit $1530, which is less than $1000 away from our goal. I continue to be blown away, and if you haven't donated, please consider doing so. The greenbacks fertilize these jaw-lawns!

Sensation: the face complains not about it's thickening hair-coat

Palpation: feathery softness is transitioning into scruff in some areas

Personal satisfaction rating: 3.5 (out of 5 Norsemen)
