Harness Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hello all. So I participated in one 6 week challenge about 7 months ago, and I started off strong and finished very weak...okay so I didn't actually complete any of my goals. Anyway, I had originally planned to take the next challenge off for the holidays, and I never came back because life things happened. Like making the decision to and proceeding with getting a divorce :-(I am back now though, and have been back at the gym, on the cushion, and now on the yoga mat too. I am getting back in fighting shape for the next challenge which should be starting pretty soon it seems! So as a reward for the challenge that I attempted I was going to get a new tattoo, a phoenix on my side. Well, I didn't get it then but I did get it last week and it has a lot more meaning for me now than it would have before, it is my dedication to coming out of the ashes better, faster, stronger! Anyway, here it is, I love it...although I probably won't EVER get anything on my ribs again...Holy Bejebus did it wake me up!!!

Teros Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 welcome back! That's a pretty cool tattoo. I don't have any yet, but there's a few little ones that I plan on getting. That might be a reward for a 6-week challenge that I complete. The next 6 week challenge starts up next week so now's a good time to jump in. you can still prepare by making definitive goals and a plan of action. maybe I'll see you in the adventurer's group next week.

Thilde Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 First off, friend Harness.....so sorry to hear of the life stuff that came up for you. I hope you have some good people in your life to lean on. You know you have your NF friends too. I am so glad you came back. Second, that tattoo is flipping awesome. So much meaning. Was it your first one, or do you have others? Thirdly (because I can't say this enough, really)....so glad you're back. Link to comment
Harness Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hi Sambie! Thanks! I do have some great friends and family that have come together to help me through this (I have 3 close friends that have reacted to the situation with military-esque efficiency, lol). One of the many reasons that I came back here was for you guys! I have missed everyone! Why, thank you!!! I love it! It was my second one, I have a somewhat tribal looking torch and flame done in all black right between my shoulder blades. It is about I'd say 8" tall and maybe 5" wide. It is a design that my closest friends all got on ourselves somewhere, to symbolize our 10+ year friendship and commitment to each other. I can't tell you how glad I am to be back, really.

WriterGuy Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Harness, welcome back and happy to see that you have risen above the challenges you have faced. Divorce can be extremely draining and it takes a lot to start again. The tattoo is brilliant. I intend to get my second tattoo soon and it will be a masterful thing. It's a present for myself for surviving a dangerous combo that is a full time job and a Masters degree. I intend to be a druid some time, so I will be looking foward to hearing you talk about yoga.
