the hearts of trees are bigger than the seasons.
Once I wrote...
I have never liked hearts. I have always avoided them because
of their commonness and especially because of my secret fear
of pink and all things too sweet.
And then continuing....Oh, but now that I am a bit
older, I am finding my fears hold a special place in my life. Like
billboards screaming opportunity, I use them as challenges and I
have come to appreciate them as a chance at something new.

sometimes you say things without actually listening to yourself. today i am thinking about that. thinking about what i said, thinking about how this has all come to pass. just thinking about how this blog has become a way for me to look back on that and also a way to continue. how hard that is sometimes even though it seems easier everyday. And how many times i have used the heart, how many ways there are to redefine it. redefinition is really mending, isn't it?
i planned a little shop update to celebrate heart, and there will be a few things posted there today. but there were so many i just became overwhelmed by it all. i am collecting them all, old and new (and a bit of whispering) and i will be dribbling them in as they are finished....so the shop will just be filled with heart for a while. and then it will be closing. the shop, that is.
today i love this
