A Brain, A Heart and Courage

What does the Wizard of Oz have to offer us when it comes to rebuilding trust? Three things: a brain, a heart, and courage. I got this tattoo a few years back to remind me that I have all 3! The artist argued with me that they would be backwards/ upside down, but I wanted to see them when I raised my arm, not the other way around.

Use your brain and don’t be ignorant. Use your heart to spread love and let love in. Use courage to fight your fears and remember that you have a home; your rock in a storm of troubling times.
