    I love this! I love hearts. My house is full of them but I will have to be on the lookout for the more subtle among them and take some photos. A really delightful project.

  56. »My heart wanders« | Wie sieht’s denn hier aus? says

    […] »My heart wanders: a collection of subtle hearts in special spaces« ist ein Fotobuch-Projekt, initiiert von Pia Jane Bijkerk, bei dem jeder mitmachen kann, und zwar indem er bis zum 15. Juni ein oder mehrere Fotos einsendet, auf denen ein selbst gemachtes oder gefundenes Herz (am liebsten, aber nicht absolut notwendigerweise im Innenraum) zu sehen ist. Subtil sollte es sein, und wer möchte, kann das ganze noch mit einem Gedicht oder sonstigen Kommentar versehen. Eine schöne Idee, und das ein oder andere Bild könnte mir dazu auch noch einfallen … Natürlich werden aber nicht alle Einsendungen veröffentlicht, sondern eine Jury wählt die besten aus. […]

    Hola Pia,
    Acabo de recoger tu libro, me lo han enviado por correo y estoy muy contenta porque ha llegado a tiempo.
    El lunes ingreso en el hospital y tengo que estar varios días incomunicada, cuando esté en casa, tendré que pasar unos cuantos días más sin contacto con la gente. Pero va a ser para terminar la batalla contra el cancer de tiroides, que he ganado!! Creo que este libro, tu libro, va a ser la mejor compañía que voy a tener, por eso lo he escogido. A veces tienen que ocurrirte cosas como ésta para escuchar a tu corazón…
    Thanks, I think you’re a very special person

    Hi Pia, I am reading your book and really enjoying it. I love the way you write and it reaches me deeply. I have experienced (and still am experiencing) such kind of search and reading your story makes me happy because I know everything will fall in place. I still have a few pages before I have come to The End….and I am Postponing it because I don’t want it to be over 😉 thank you for these magical pages. Love from Amsterdam. Wendy

    Dear Pia,
    A cherished friend gave me a copy of My Heart Wanders for Christmas. I read it in two sittings, simply couldn’t put it down! It was a visual feast- and a balm for the soul. Like you, my heart has wandered and my home is found in the beauty of simple things.
    Thank you- beyond words- for sharing your journey in such a beautiful way.
    I would love to feature your book on our website with your permission.
    Joyful blessings,
    Hannah

  77. Rahel says

    Dear Pia,
    I come from Germany, live in New Zealand. I am 19 years old and last year I graduated from high school. Your book, My Heart Wanders was given to me as a gift by a very close family friend who wanted to celebrate my graduating with a special book.
    Throughout this year I was in Germany, and two days ago, arriving in New Zealand, I picked up your book and read it for the first time. I am facing some, for me, challenging life decisions – the biggest one being – will I move to Germany next year to start my study, or will I stay here. And really money is the only part getting in the way. I think your book will be a very strong source of courage for me to make this move – Germany is where my heart longs to be. I know you are busy person. I am just yearning so much to learn how someone like you did all this, and I am very inspired by you. Thank you Pia.

    …it would take me far away, away from my family and away from my kids. Because my heart cannot be contained. And that’s why I’m afraid to open those doors and let it go. Because it will travel far, far away and I’m afraid it won’t come back to this place. JT.
