My inner child came out to play.

Though most people probably would not admit it, we all have an inner child. Mine likes to come out to play when I am not providing regular outlets for self-expression in my life. Having been stifled for too long, my inner child usually comes out by way of a moderately bold statement. Most recently I asked my colorist to add bright pink accents to my hair. I must say it caused a bit of a commotion, but it was great fun while it lasted! I almost couldn’t contain my excitement sitting at the salon, waiting to see the final product. When my hair was done, I wished I had gone even bolder!

I am not the only person who breaks out of her shell periodically. I am sure it will happen again in the not too distant future. I never select a form of expression that is too off the wall or permanent, for the need to “burst out” is a temporary and fun release of energy. Some of my other adventures in expression include:

1. Henna tattoos;
2. Navy blue nail polish;
3. Having my hair cut off into a flat top;
4. Donning a dog collar; and
5. Partying with Jamie Foxx.

Perhaps I was too shy when I was younger, and have more courage to be me as an adult. All I can say, is that my life is an ever evolving adventure. Nothing I have done has been a danger to me or anyone else, which is vitally important. It has been fun to leave people guessing about the many sides of me. I encourage you to live your life like you mean it each day, and never get so stuck in a rut that you lose what makes you feel completely alive. I would love to hear about some of your adventurous moments, so please be bold enough to share!
