Success Stories
I got the arab letter "nun" surrounded by some floral ornaments. The ISI group in Irak is marking Christian houses with the nun sign just like the Nazis did with the Jewish people and the star of David. On the internet, people have been choosing the nun sign as a profile picture to raise awareness and show sympathy, because this topic is hardly covered on the news. I chose this way to show my support. Ironically, I got the tattoo made at the Berliner ramadan street festival, which is a festival to celebrate mulism traditions.
Took a family vacation to the Colorado Springs area. On our last day there, we returned to Manitou Springs, a very eclectic lively area with wonderful shops. This trip was about doing new things. I started to walk past the henna place, but it pulled at me. I poured through their books and found one I really liked that went up my forearm. My daughter also got her first henna tattoo at the same time. The woman even sprinkled colored glitter on the design. I'm so glad I did this. It was a really great experience.
Whilst in Kerala, India I finally managed to get a henna tattoo on my feet with my Mum. I took quite a while looking through all these beautiful patterns but finally decided on this one. It was quite tickly to get done and I don't really like people touching my feet but I was really happy with the results. The only difficulty was trying to walk back to the hotel on the scorching tarmac as we couldn't put our flipflops back on!
I did think that it would last longer than what it did though, especially considering I'm so pale.
As part of the diversity counsel at work, we had a Diwali Celebration in November 2011. Diwali, a festival of lights, is a Hindu festival. The celebration I attended included different types of cultural foods, an Indian dance exhibition and henna tattoos. It was a beautiful celebration and an amazing experience into another culture.
