Travel Adventures :: Found Hearts

While hiking in the mountains,

I found my heart.

I found my joy.

And I found a little love.

To Feast Retreat,

I carried a sore heart.

It was hurt and broken.

But I wasn't broken.

My heart was in need of soul care.

I allowed the light to reach the dark places.

And for the healing journey to begin.

Hugs,

Even More Found Hearts

I love it when I find hearts in unexpected places (Found Hearts & More Found Hearts & Hiking Found Hearts). I found this heart when I was flipping through pictures on my iPhone of beginning layers on canvas paintings:

This heart was also discovered later when reviewing pictures on my phone. How awesome is it that the gap between the carnations formed a heart shape?

I didn't notice the shape until I placed this crystal in my window sill.

A heart-shaped crack in the parking lot walking into Michaels.

Found heart when the cookies were pulled out of the oven (scooped cookie dough).

I found this heart when I was editing the photo.

This heart is upside and a not easily seen in this picture but when you're holding it and turn the crystal upside down its easily noticeable.

Hugs,

Meditation Hike + Found Hearts

I went on a meditation hike with the Florida Trail Association last weekend. The hike was led by an amazing Buddhist nun who encourage us to slow down and be mindful with each step. It was a silent hike two miles in, a mindful silent lunch, and two miles out. On our way out we added more space between each of us to really slow down and become one with our surroundings.

Hobbit home?

I notice that when I'm in the present, hearts tend to appear to for me. Here are a few:

 This one I found on my painting palette:

This one I found over the fence between mine and my neighbors yard:

I found Old McDonald's Farm! E-I-E-I-O. LOL.

Hearts,
