Heart Felt Wishes to you all! I love hearts, I love the shape, I love to decorate the house at Valentine’s Day, and I have a lot of hearts… so I decided to post A Heart a Day for the entire month of February.
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will.
– James Taylor
Happiest of heartfelt wishes for a wondrous day! ~Christen
