February is National Heart Month.
Take care of your heart.
The people you love and that love you are counting on it!
Protect your heart.
It is fragile and vulnerable.
Share your heart.
It is the greatest gift you can give.
Open your heart.
There is so much to be discovered.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
So true, and the looseness of the illustration works perfectly with the words. (K)

LOL! I was just squiggling. I had to look up that word – “gestural” – and YEP – we will go with that…. meant that all long – makes it sound more like art than the splashing it actually is 🙂 ❤

Haha..:Art is only fun if there’s a bit of splashing. When it gets too serious I lose all interest 😊lol

My sis had to have her aortic valve replaced at 53! Thank goodness she had a doctor who noticed she had a heart murmur. Our hearts are not something to take for granted. Thanks for sharing your heart in your posts, Jodi! ❤️ Lovely poem and playful heART! It is always fun to splash some paint around! 😍🎨👍

So glad your sister is well! Thanks for your nice comment. I really wasn’t sure what I wanted to write about last evening, and just decided to splash around a bit. I find the more I do, the looser I get and the more comfortable I get, but I am a little embarrassed of this one – lol

What I have learned from blogging and sharing my heART is that what I think isn’t very good someone else adores. I struggle with judging my art on a daily basis so I understand how you feel, Sistah! Keep splashing around and having fun and you will find your way, my friend! 💖💕
