My most recent tattoo is cedar branches running up my right calf. Indigenous medicine and ceremonies use cedar a lot and I have become quite reverent of the tree. Cedar also represents water. Water is life.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would say, “ Thank you for valuing me. Thank you for taking care of me so well and honoring your journey with me. Thank you for updating me when it was needed. I am here for you always. Our lace dress is almost complete; I look forward to the next session and hope it is soon. Drink lots of water. Get some extra rest. I love you.”
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won the $25,000 I would take a vacation to somewhere warm with white sand and crystal blue water. Maybe a yoga retreat or spa experience. I would also have a deck and garden bench built in my yard and splurge on a water fixture.
