Wayward Winds was founded on the philosophy of looking at the world from a higher perspective and navigating life above the everyday fray. The inspiration came from two people who shared that philosophy.

Paul “Butch” Clark and Judy Browning Clark are the inspiration for the Wayward Winds. They passed away within months of each other and their deaths affected me drastically. I was right in the thick of climbing the corporate ladder; making and spending lots of money; living large without a thought about anything else. My Dad always told me to slow down but I never listened. I became defiant. Then he passed away after a long struggle with Parkinson’s disease. Watching him battle that crippling disease for 28 years had a deep impact on my direction. I finally understood what they were politely trying to tell me. Money and possessions could never fill the void of losing them.

I never had a tattoo but I wanted to honor them in a special way. I asked my talented son to draw me something that would constantly remind me to slow down and find balance. As a result, the Wayward Winds logo was born! The logo is a navigational aid that represents the tilt of the Earth on it’s axis and the constant perfect balance that’s achieved. You will also find a yin-yang feature that further ingrains the thought of balance in our lives.
