Welcome to Birth of a Notion a blog that has a smattering of life but mostly a blog about the art of all things Letter writing. Fountain pens, Fine stationery (oh my favorite) and things pen pal related. You can check the blog wrap and the section that says We Support for Letter writing clubs and more information on all things letter.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." ~Thomas Jefferson Declaration of Independence 1776

Marked Woman

I have been afraid of needles with a vengeance for my whole life. I still am. However with this cancer battle and fighting it. I decided it was time to do something for me. Something that was permanent and that would remind me that there is always hope. That I can beat this thing, like others have. Also because I am a geek of the Twilight novels I wanted something coy that could fit in with Twi relations.

And SO I did it. I got myself a tattoo. I have joined the official ranks of rebel. And you know what? It was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Yes it did hurt and I had to stop twice because my body overheated with the adrenaline pumping. But it didn’t hurt as much as I had thought it would. So my right shoulder proudly shows a cancer support ribbon that says I felt Hope. I think it is going to need to be touched up a bit when it heals. But that’s okay. I also think I am going to get a second one (to even out the shoulders) small like the first it will be an Egyptian Ankh. A royal symbol after all. So your humble Jefferson fan has become an inked person. *laughs* I don’t think Tom would object too much.
