The Heart Seen and seen and seen! by (carla!) and (me!) sandra, tvgp
highly cherished, my in~person coffee/conversation visits with friends.. and just yesterday when I sat with Carla outside, in front of juice & java in downtown.. she spotted a heart shape on her paper napkin.. cutest shape! and then when I went to get my phone to take a picture of it.. I happened across one myself.
and I never tire of these! and each time I find myself thinking.. oh this is my favorite.. no, this is my favorite..
but I do have a new favorite.. because my favorite gum is 5, and usually I rip the sticks in half and chew only one half at a time, and I just shove the waiting half in my back pocket until I spit out the first half.. /usually to eat..
and yesterday when I emptied out my back pocket.. look what I saw! and now, at first I thought maybe it was a tiny white heart made with intention.. confetti from a craft project I did, because I do in fact have a heart shape craft punch.. and it would not surprise me to find a tiny white paper heart punch shape in any of my pockets.. so I actually went to peel it off.. and that's when I realized it was not a paper punch.. it is exactly how the foil wrapper folded somehow as I shoved it in, and pulled it out of my back pocket.. I just look up to heaven and smile..
that is super cute! "thank you!"
and earlier in the week.. squirting mustard and ketchup for a hot-dog.. that's exactly how it squirted out..
when people send me their heart seens.. often they will preface with something like, "i know it looks like I did this on purpose.. but I didn't!" and I just say, "i know!" "i get it!"
it really happens just like this.. I see it all the time.. and its just plain fun.

"thank you!" Carla for the great visit.. and the books!! for my sister & I..
I'm always elevated by these beautiful casual conversations, -catching up on life, kids, challenges/rewards of daily life.. memoires/milestones; hopes and dreams..

and I realized, that when I made the wine bottle with where the wild things are pages, -and I spent that quiet time creating and remembering my aunt tina.. it was different, of very course, because she has already left this earth.. but it was the same in that.. I felt elevated afterward, having spent time with her; memory
so elevated in fact, that Ive decided to do the same, as time/energy allows with my other loved ones who have already departed..
so, i'll be doing a wine bottle with sunflowers next to spend some time with my aunt Susie.. my aunt tina's sister... both my dad's sisters. -and there is a list of deceased loved ones on each side of my family tree.. so .. lots of art and visits ahead..
In Jesus elevating spiritual name, ~amen!
