Oh my goodness! What a special night!

I had the best time with everyone who participated in my Author Chat & Paint program at the Norfolk Public Library’s Jordan-Newby Anchor Branch. It was so rewarding to see what spoke to each person’s heart reflected in their beautiful artwork.

Special shout out to Claire Parker! You have such a kind heart; I appreciate your continuous support!

Full disclosure: Every time I share my book with someone, I hope I can lift them up and that we’ll connect with each other, because that connection fills my own heart to the brim. I came into tonight’s program with a heavy heart, dealing with personal and work challenges, but the response from everyone brought me so much comfort and joy.

When I walked out of the library, I was on cloud nine… and I even came across a heart-shaped rock in the walkway (which was made of bricks, not rocks!). So incredibly serendipitous!

Recently, I had the joy of getting together with a dear friend of more than 40 years. We don’t live close to each other, so our visits are rare, but our bond has always remained strong.

Right after we parted, look what stopped me in my tracks. A very weathered but beautiful heart-find. Its jagged edges and textured surface felt like an ode to our friendship, a quiet reminder of the importance of the true friends in our lives, and equally, the importance of making time for each other.

Yesterday, I had the joy of giving a book talk paired with a fun craft project at the Norfolk Public Library’s Lafayette Branch. What a treat!

I shared my heart journey with the ladies, and they painted what “spoke to their hearts” on the nice glass tumblers so generously provided by the library.

To my surprise and much delight, my dear friends, Robyn Neal and Paula Miller, took part! Thank you both from the bottom of my heart!

Those who know me know how much I prefer our cooler seasons. Today marks the first day of Fall, and with it comes hope for not just crisp days ahead, but growth and better times.

Fall reminds us that even as the trees let go of their leaves, it can be a season of renewal and change.

On the eve of Fall, I came across this beautiful heart-shaped leaf. Its vibrant orange with specks of yellow stood out against the salt and pepper pavement - a gentle reminder from up above to never lose hope.

I had the most rewarding time over the weekend.

I gave a book talk and shared some of my heart-finds that aren’t in “HEARTS” with the residents at East Pavilion, the skilled nursing and long term care facility in Franklin, VA. They were all so sweet; they could not have been more welcoming and engaging. It truly warmed my heart.

A big THANK YOU to East Pavilion’s Danielle Dawson, who made this program possible. She arranged it for a day she normally doesn’t work, and made sure all the interested residents could attend. Her selfless efforts and kindness meant the world.

I am always pleasantly surprised by the heavenly signs that come my way. August didn’t disappoint and September is starting out remarkably well.

I hope my heart-finds lift you up, make you smile, and give you peace like they do for me.
