I added a human heart to the roots of my tree tattoo—my children’s names woven into the bark. It’s my heart, beating beneath them, anchoring them. Each name a season, each root a vow. It’s more than ink—it’s a living promise: no matter how far they grow, they’ll always be part of this heart… and this tree.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If all my ink could speak, it would whisper every story I was too brave to cry about… every name I carry, every root I’ve planted, every storm I’ve survived. It would say, “She loved fiercely, bled beauty, and turned pain into poetry.” It would trace the map of my soul and say, “This is her—wild, rooted, and still reaching toward the light.”
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won $25,000, I’d use it to fund Tumbleweed Montessori—a nature-based micro-school. The money would go toward Montessori materials, outdoor learning supplies, scholarships, filming lessons for online learners, and nonprofit startup costs. It would help us grow a school where kids learn through nature, curiosity, and love.
