Finding My Heart ~ On A Hot Summer’s Day

Gabby ~ Queen Extraordinaire The scorching sun was beating down upon me; my skin turning bright red as I watched the blisters quickly begin to form on my arms. Nah, I'm just kidding. It was hot on that August day don't get me wrong; the heat was totally tolerable and manageable for me at least. But then again, I wasn't the one wearing a fur coat. As I'm sure you figured out by now, I'm talking about my little four legged child Gabby. She is an English Labrador Retriever - Queen Extraordinaire.

Finding My Heart ~The Beginning

I love hearts. After sitting here for 2 hours trying to create the most catchy opening sentence, this is what I've come up with. I love hearts. Of course, that isn't solely what I want to convey, it is merely a simple opening to a much bigger thought process that has been bubbling beneath the surface of my soul for several months now. I think more specifically what I would like to address is, 'Where did all the love go?' I don't mean to sound like a pessimist, but for goodness sake people, put away the hate and bring on a little more love! As I began to deeply ponder this question, an odd thing began to happen - I began to see more hearts, everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE, all the time. So much so that I could no longer ignore their presence in my life. I had to stop and ask myself, What Continue reading ...
