Guest Heart Thursday #78

Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -
A place to share YOUR heart!

Nina P. touched my heart
With this beautiful poem ...

Choosing Your Path

Do I take the road that lies ahead or do I forge a brave new path?
Do I follow my heart to where it leads? Will I find Peace or wrath?

Choose to follow the road to Light, though it may twist and turn.
Walk your path to Love and Light, and Together we can learn.

Follow your dreams towards Higher ground, walk in Angels hand.
And be the change you want to see, Across this earthy land.

Time will come when we'll see, all paths follow the same Light.
God's has many names and forms, yet has One Great Sight.

Let's unify this world we're in, and find the common ground.
For brothers and sisters all are we, to see this just look around

We are more alike than we differ, open your senses and know
We're all created in the Light; all seeds that God did sow

Each of us has a place on earth, and also a place Above.
As One let's walk on our paths and Unite through Infinite Love.

Written with Love and Light, by Nina P. Ploetz 9/30/2011

Nina P. has touched my heart so many times ... when you visit her blog "Nina P's Thoughts and Musings ..." your heart will be touched as well.

Thank you, Nina, for sharing your heart!

I've introduced you to my friend Costas several times in the past.
His blog "Nature Digital" showcases his magical photographs.
As always, I urge you, when you visit him, to be sure to click on his pictures to enlarge them. That's when the magic happens!!!

Speaking of magic ... do you see the heart Costas found in this shot?
Did you even know that bees have heart-shaped faces???

Thank you, Costas, for sharing your heart!

And look at the wonderful heart Boki found - on the sidewalk!!!

If we all could go without our cars knowing we'd find delightful hearts along the way, we'd all be walking a lot more often!!!

You can find this and other beautiful hearts over at Boki's blog "Ninas y Corazones".

Thank you, Boki, for sharing your heart!

I am enchanted with Donna's garden ... what a beautiful and magical place!
Her garden is on display over at "Gardens Eye View" ... but be sure to devote some extra time to explore when you visit her - you will want to stay a long time!

This picture in particular caught my eye ... Donna created this painting from a real photograph!
Complete with a beautiful glowing heart!

Thank you, Donna, for sharing your garden ... and your heart!

The hearts Gemma found in this delicate pink rose are subtle ...
Hearts of shadow and velvety petal ...
I see several!

Be sure to visit Gemma's "Greyscale Territory" - you will be delighted - as I am every time I visit her.

"Whisper of colour
Kiss of a new Spring morning
May it linger here"

Thank you, Gemma, for sharing your photos, your Haiku ... and your heart!

With just a few strokes of color on paper, Boki stole my heart with this beautiful drawing she has called "Love Confusion". This is not the first time Boki's drawings and photography have touched me - to see more, visit her over at "ninas y corazones" - you will be delighted!

Thank you, Boki, for touching my heart ... and for sharing yours!

I had to giggle when Cheryl posted this "rose heart in training" on her blog "March to March". It is a photo well named!

Cheryl has been a wonderful friend and inspiration to me. She has been here since I started blogging, and has helped me through good times and bad. I can't say how much I appreciate her!!!

Thank you, Cheryl, for being there, for inspiring me ... and for sharing your heart!

One of my favorite things to do is to find hearts in the posts of my friends ... hearts they don't see! When JM over at "Oeiras Daily Photo" posted this photo "Vertigo", I couldn't help but look for the hearts I knew I would find in this amazing shot ... Do you see any hearts here?
(hint: look just above the word "and" in the copyright watermark!)

If you haven't discovered JM's blog, you are missing out on some of the best photography I've seen in a long time. Every time JM posts, I am stunned at the beauty he finds ... and his unique point of view in which he shares it!!!

Thank you, JM, for sharing your beautiful Portugal ... and for sharing your heart!

When I got the e-mail from my friend Louis, I knew I would find a special heart attached. When I saw this astounding shot, I knew Louis had found a heart in a million!

So ... my imagination has added something new to Louis' paradise in "backwoods Southern California" ... I will now add the sound of a low note wind chime to the picture in my head of Louis kicking back on the deck, surrounded by the beauty of nature ... listening to the low beauty of the chimes ... Sigh ...

Thank you, Louis, for this beautiful vision ... and for sharing your heart!

Laura has posted this beautiful tree heart before ... and I have loved it each time I see it.
I hope someday you will meet Laura. She in every way inspires me, shames me, makes me look beyond myself, bring me to tears ... I am in awe of someone who can take their own pain ... face their own demons ... and still shine with faith and grace. That is Laura.

"Shine the Divine: Creativity IS a Spiritual Practice"

"It makes me wonder how much my slender body can hold, how big will my heart grow through the years, am I up to the tasks that life has in store for me, and will I be able to withstand the storms of living with a fraction of the grace this tree embodies? It is an awe inspiring mystery, discovering a tree that grew perfectly into a heart."

Thank you, Laura, for sharing your heart. Your whole heart.

One world. One people. One heart.

As always - a huge thank you to all who participated in Guest Heart Thursday last week. I loved seeing all of the delightful and amazing hearts you found in your world!

Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -
A place to share YOUR heart!

I first met Pamela when I was new to blogging.
I happened upon her blog, "Dum Spiro Spero" where she was pouring out her heart after the loss of her mother. Her honesty and the depth of her feelings touched MY heart, and I cried along with her. In the years since, I have followed Pamela around the East Coast USA as she went on one delightful adventure after another.

Pamela found this beautiful tree heart recently at a Mennonite school in Blackville, South Carolina. What a wonderful heart tree!!!

Thank you, Pamela, for sharing your heart!

Lani found this beautiful logo and posted it on her blog "Taipei Daily Photo".
It is the logo from last year's "Taipei's International Flora Expo".
Don't you just love the vibrant colors?
How many hidden hearts do you see?
I see a bunch!!!

Thank you, Lani, for sharing your heart!

Boki took a long break from her blog "Ninas y Corazones" - and boy did I miss her!!!

But she's back now, and I am SO looking forward to seeing more of her creative photos and wonderful artwork!!!

Thank you, Boki, for sharing your heart!

Do you have "junk" hanging around that you don't know what to do with?
Then I highly recommend that you visit "Junkin' Jane". She is one of the most creative people I've ever met - and she inspires me every time I visit her blog!

She made these luscious cheesecakes for a wedding ... but the REAL secret is that she repurposed a bunch of old glass to make these beautiful cake stands!

Thank you, "Jane", for your inspiration ... and for sharing your heart!

I am pleased to introduce you to the adorable Merfy. Isn't he cute? According to his mom Karen, "Merfy thinks he is a Dangerous Doberman..." so when you visit Merfy, er, Karen over at "Pixel Posts" ... Shhhhhhhh, don't let it slip that Merfy is really a Morkie (Maltese, Yorkshire terrier cross) weighing in at 8 pounds!

Merfy's adorable heart-shaped little tongue stole MY heart ...

Thank you, Karen, for sharing Merfy! ... and for sharing your heart!

One world. One people. One heart.

As always - a huge thank you to all who participated in Guest Heart Thursday last week. I loved seeing all of the delightful and amazing hearts you found in your world!

Guest Heart Thursday #27

Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -
A Place to Share YOUR Hearts!

I love seeing the hearts that find Lani over at Taipei Daily Photo.
They are pretty amazing!

Like this simple delicate dried up leaf ...
A single heart ... that becomes a poem of beauty.

Thank you, Lani, for sharing your heart!

What can I say? I still can't get over how much I LOVE this blog title - "I Am Dreaming of Castles" ... and how much I love the hearts found by Lyneen!

When people find hearts in the clouds, it gives me pause
Mostly because I so often forget to look up.
And I need to be reminded!

Thank you, Lyneen ... for finding and sharing your heart. And for reminding us all to LOOK UP.

I found this delightfully hearted calf wandering the blogosphere last spring.
I couldn't resist his cute face! He was born in Fujisawa, Tokyo to farm owner Kazunori Yamazaki and is named (go figure!) "Heart"

Let me introduce you to Boki.
Her blog, Ninas y corazones, is filled with delightful hearts!

You really need to check it out to see how cool it is!!!

Thank you, Boki, for sharing your heart!

Beth's blog, Geometrics, is super amazing. I had no idea there were so many patterns in nature!

But this heart ... well ... it takes my breath away.

And I thank you, Beth, for sharing YOUR heart!
And seriously, I think you should start a 'patterns in nature' meme!
