Evolution of Self

Major throwback to a time when I wore heels and dresses. I used to feel more feminine in the summer and masculine in the winter because of the clothes I would wear. As my friend says, just keep them guessing!

I’ve always allowed myself to flow with the feeling of expression that I have at the moment. But I also spent years finding and allowing myself my most authentic expression, even when the world told me yuck, ugh not that, don’t be that! This night in NYC, going to a friend's wedding, I felt fierce and feminine.

When I jumped off a 30-foot cliff into a pool of water in a national park, I came up from the water and said I’m cutting my hair putting in a red streak! That 1930s Cotton Club men’s GQ haircut I have always loved, well I finally got it! And slowly but surely, the sides went from full to shaved. Thanks to humility, I get an elephant trunk or big volume, and curls. It’s a bit uncontrollable really. And I love it that way.

It’s important to check yourself — what have you always wanted?

Why aren’t you doing it?

Is the voice or judgement yours or someone else’s?

What would you do if you weren’t afraid?

It’s so fun as a human, and definitely as an artist, to express so many sides of ourselves and get to do it with fun and joy and bold gestures or quiet moments. It’s also the evolution of the spirit to evolve into itself. I’m so grateful for all the paths I’ve taken, my willingness to flow with the river of my desires and explorations. The maturity I’ve gained over the years to do it with less fight and more internal confidence, and most happy to be dedicated to my evolution of self.

GO for it! And please tag me @wendyparr when you share the risk taking steps you take.

You do you, boo!
