from Ashley:<br />
Everyone has heard that blondes have more<br />
fun. Perhaps the idea behind the blonde<br />
adage is one of freedom, spontaneity and<br />
excitement. If that’s the case, i must have<br />
been blonde for years.<br />
My very nature is impulsive, ambitious and<br />
daring. Be it over the top fashion, opinionated<br />
commentary or unique choices in my<br />
own profession, I live my life like it could end<br />
tomorrow. Because it could, and I would<br />
never want to look back feeling like I stood<br />
in the way of my happiness and myself.<br />
Worrying about others’ opinions, whether<br />
our dreams are realistic or listening to the<br />
doubt in our own minds is a terribly sad<br />
waste of time. It restrains us from serendipitous<br />
connections, being our true selves and<br />
experiencing the very journey of life itself,<br />
one moment at a time. Everyday in the<br />
future is the past waiting to happen. So why<br />
would we hesitate in the present? That’s the<br />
only thing we really have. And to waste this<br />
because of fear, doubt or external opinion,<br />
is to waste life.<br />
When I went blonde, I wanted to have fun.<br />
And no matter the color of my hair, the outfit<br />
I wear, or the make up I apply, I know that<br />
I am still Ashley. And this blonde will be as<br />
creative, daring and giving as she can be, in<br />
each moment and have fun doing it.
