Remember the old my heart wanders days, when we used to look for subtle hearts in unexpected places and share the images with each other? That was way before I embarked on the big adventure of writing and publishing the book, and way way before I became a first-time mum (still blows my mind).
Well, the other day I decided to relaunch the original my heart wanders “collective” on instagram and I’m really glad I did – since then we’ve collected over 150 images from around the world, and I wanted to share a few of those with you here today. I’ve also included blog links and instagram usernames so you can follow these fab fellow instagrammers. And if you’d like to see more, check out the growing collection here, and if you’d like to join in, add this tag to your instagram photo: #myheartwanders . Enjoy…

How lovely to see all this wandering hearts! I found my own wandering heart two years ago while walking in a beautiful and peaceful forest in Wassenaar, the Netherlands:

The stone I found made me think of the heart shape in the cobblestones in Italy you’re telling about in your book, which inspired me to take this photo.
Thanks and love,
Anne

Pia – thank you for including my ‘found heart’ street art heart that I found on a walk through brooklyn, ny in your post today. This was fun to participate in – it kept me present in my every day. Thank you. By the way, your book calms my soul and gives me breath when I need it. Thank you! #lorimoonstudio
