All That I Am Is Written On My Heart

1/17/2017

I've been busy making Valentine's Day hearts. Not paper ones. Mine are cloth, fit comfortably in the hand and are beautiful patterns of red, crimson and scarlet. Each one has a word written on it. Not just run of the mill Hallmark "Love" or "Faith" or "Hope". But more personal, evocative terms like ardor, devotion, conviction, surety, desire, promise. Because words matter.

The hearts look beautiful all together in a basket as I prepare for a sale. But as people look through them, thinking of a purchase for themselves or others, I hope to provoke some thought: Which of these words are descriptive of me? What word exactly conveys the level of love I want to express? How best do I describe the attributes of the one who receives a heart? Picking the right word is the essence of the gift.

​Because I believe that all we have experienced is written on our hearts. And the words are different for everyone. As people select their hearts I hope they find the perfect words to share how they really feel. Because all that you are is written on your heart. What's written on yours?
