A lotus within a mandala; to me, a symbol of so many things.
Oneness. Gratitude. Nourishment. Balance. Nature. Strength. Love.
The universal connection of all things, including our mind, body & spirit; as well as our ability to be nourished by and develop from life’s challenges and difficulties. As the lotus arises from the muck a perfectly pure & beautiful flower, so too do we, as human beings arise stronger, more beautiful and more self aware as a result of our life’s journey; often filled with adversity and struggles, which are simply opportunities for us to unearth our own truth, our own purity, our own beautiful lotus flower within.
Embrace your life, with all of it’s muck and challenge, knowing that your true essence is beauty, purity & ultimately, LOVE.
Allow your lotus to emerge through the muck of your life. Be kind. Be well. Be love.
p.s and a gentle reminder in the middle to go with the flow, have fun, laugh often, seek balance, ride the wave of your life and stay connected to your source.

I absolutely love this tattoo. I want to get one with a symbol of gratitude and the lotus flower beautifies it. Can you tell me if you can recommend a good tattoo artist?
