The Meaning Behind the Ink: The Story

True path with inner peace

I gave birth to my son and he changed my life and became one of my greatest loves. 5.5 years later, I gave birth to my daughter, and when I looked into her eyes the day she was born, I made the decision to walk away from a marriage that I knew would split our little family apart. I truly thought that marriage was the only way I deserved to believe I was loved. I knew I would have a major challenge with two kids, no job, and starting all over in my mid-thirties.

 

The tattoo I chose at that time in my life was a nautical compass with a mandala. This was a symbol of guidance to find my way through the journey of my life while finding my true path and maintaining peace for personal growth and inner harmony—not just for myself as an individual woman, but also for how my children view love, and how you can create life and love through personal growth.
