Which Quaran-TREE Are You?!

During this bewildering time of ol' quarantining, each of our situations and challenges differ. Take this quiz that I thought up while I couldn't sleep the other night, to determine which Quaran-TREE you are! Trees are rooted and so are you. We can learn a lot from trees. Let's see what they have to teach us even now!

You are there to provide for those who need shelter, stability and a comforting presence! You are gettin' down into the nitty-gritty details of life in a way that is completely overwhelming at times, yet offer some semblance of peace. Sometimes you feel that the weight of it all makes you hunch over and weep, but you remain steady, offering a place for those to come and sit beneath your shade + rest. Thank you! Keep up the good work!!!

If you scored mostly B's, you are a White Pine!

You are a strong-a$$ pillar, and you make it look so easy! (Even though it's not always so...) You maintain balance, even when swayed by the winds. You keep your head up, pointed toward hope, which is monumental for your community and the world! You remind all who encounter you to stand up tall and trust. Thank you! Keep up the good work!!!

If you scored mostly C's, you are a Birch!

You aren't afraid to share your vulnerability with the world, which makes you stand out! Your outer false layers have peeled off, so that you can be of service to helping others strip away what is unnecessary to their personal clarity + transcendence. You are creative + radiate peace. You are a beacon of light! Thank you! Keep up the good work!!!
