The Tattoo!
I've done something a little radical. Actually, I've been planning
on doing this "radical" thing since I turned 40 last October. What is this you ask? Well, I'm now a "freak" or
permanently "scarred" on my left shoulder. I got a tattoo.
Some might think I'm a little crazy. But I have my reasons for it.
This was well thought over and my friends Jayne, who drew and went through a few re-designs of the pattern, and Bev who edited
the pattern with her computer, helped to make a decision as to the final pattern and what it should represent. The pattern
is that of a horse (see pictures). To me a horse represents a "free spirit", always moving forward towrds the future
without looking back to the past. Ever since I was a young girl horses have been a part of my life that I feel some sort
of spiritual connection. My turning 40 represented a turning point in my life that follows this representation.
