Ah, the heart.  It’s the king and queen of love.  Some of us let our hearts sing.  Some of us wear our hearts on our sleeve.  Some of us give our hearts away.  The heart is one of the most recognizable motifs in design.

We put hearts on cups, charms, walls, baskets, stationary, hair bobbles, shoes, sweaters, stamps, vases, candleholders, soap, candles, watches, clocks, lamps, floors, rugs, diaries, journals… well you get my drift.  One heart, two hearts, or rows and rows of hearts, it really doesn’t matter.  A clear message is sent.  Love.  Warmth.  Happiness.  Joy.  Tears.  Sadness.  Well, wait, maybe the message isn’t so clear!

I love the heart with wings.  This use of a heart seems to bring it all together.  Faith.  Love.  Hope.  There isn’t a place the heart doesn’t touch.  Even the web savvy were quick to put the 3 and the less than symbol together to make a heart (<3) making the phrase I Heart You ( I <3 U) a classic!

Right under my computer is a little frame and paperweight.  Both say the same thing, Always Follow Your Heart.  The heart holds our passion, our dreams, our spirit.  It’s also delicate and precious.  Keep your heart healthy so you have years and years and years to wear your heart on your sleeve while singing your heart out!
