I heart you....

i found this heart on the beach
acutally john spotted it first
and
now it's here at home with me sharing space
with all of my other heart shaped finds
I decided to dress her up a little bit
so that I could share her with all of you
~all of you~
who took the time to leave a comment about our abrupt return home
and
to those of you who sent personal emails to me
~there were many of you~
asking if all was okay and giving me your support
and
to even those of you who maybe didn't know what to say
but were thinking of me
~~~~~
it's amazing this blogging world of ours
where we
praise each other, share videos and stories, raise money for causes
award gifts, share the best movies to watch, books to read
and music to listen to
where
we share art that we've stayed up all night long working on,
photos of how we spent our weekends
and
send notes to check on each other if too much time has passed
between posts
~~~~~
but the one thing we get
day in and day out
no matter what
is support
the kind of support
that so often feels like a heartfelt hug
or a pat on the back
or a laugh
when whe need it the most
~~~~~
so today I give you all
a piece of my heart
and
my many thanks
for being there

  3. I second Sperlygirl's sentiments. Even more to the point, your message is so appropriate. What we are doing is creating community and caring. In this moment when there is so much hope, we are actively manifesting love and creativity, lifting each other up, celebrating each others' gifts. It's our means of changing the world from a place of fear and division to one of vision and peace. Your found heart is so emblematic!

  6. I heart you back, and I couldn't agree more -- I've seen it happen with The Gypsy and with so many other blogs -- and now, yours. It's odd, this feeling of cyber-care, this circle that seems to expand of friends who have in most cases never met, yet share a bond that is difficult to describe.

    You've said it beautifully. So beautifully.

  12. Beth, I've tagged you in a "photo meme challenge." If you play, here are the rules:

    1. Open your fourth folder.
    2. Post the fourth photo in the fourth folder. No exceptions.
    3. Tag four more people.
    4. Write about it in a post.

    Have fun!
