My Irish DNA is about 42%. Before meeting my biological father, I visited Ireland to celebrate my adoptive surname, Hurley ~ https://reddragonleominpin.wordpress.com/2018/05/04/ireland-2013/.


After meeting my biological parents in Michigan, I went on a quest to determine where my Indigenous DNA came from.


I'm 56% British and like to pretend that I am M-100, the highest level of British Intelligence and the only one that will ever attain that status. Maybe that's why my husband calls me "Singularity."


For my Irish, I recently stumbled on a story about Celtic Warriors on Glencara's website (https://www.glencara.com/jewelry/large-celtic-cross-celtic-warrior/necklaces_.html).


FEARLESS

The art piece showcased on this particular blog post was crafted in September or October 2022.


Irish Celtic Warriors are known for their use of long swords and sometimes wear blue paint. That leads me into the creation of my spooky door that faces my Italian espresso machine, painted blue and decorated with a cloth of long swords, a weapon used by wealthy Irish Celtic Warriors.


The more Courage one showed in battle, the more one earned prestige.


I'm really big into symbolism and meaning, which is reflected in art I make. Also, I have switched my way of adding badges to my victories. My old way was to get a new tattoo, like this gorgeous rose that was made using a (painful) shading process using a flat needle, that is on top of a tribal symbol. This was before I knew I had Indigenous DNA from Bolivia, Columbia and Mexico!!!



My 8th tattoo holds the biggest meaning after I conquered the most impossible event single-handedly in July 2005. On my left side, there sits perfectly at my pant line my final tattoo to make it look like flames coming out of my pants, symbolizing that, "I'm on fire, I'm an unstoppable force!"



This week, I decided to retire from being a Law Enforcement Volunteer, having put about 20 years into Durham, NC and having put about 19 years into the Detroit Metro area. Instead of getting another tattoo, I bought my final symbolic piece of jewelry, this stunning Celtic Warrior sword from Glencara, engraved with Gaiscíoch (Warrior in Gaelic).
