Let Your Heart Lead...

"To know what you prefer
instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer,
is to keep your soul alive."
- Robert Louis Stevenson
What does your heart go out to?
Yesterday, while in a specialty shop, I heard a sweet voice across the way exclaiming glee. When I followed to the source of joy, I found a tiny 18-month-old clothed in delicate femininity; she had already hooked a soft bright yellow duckie purse, it's price tag dangling, over her ruffled sleeve. I bent down to ask her if she liked the duckie purse more than a pink bunny purse hanging close by. Her deep chocolate eyes and gesture of more tightly clutching the duckie purse spoke volumes to me. Children, unmarred by decades of marketing influence, seem far closer to knowing their heart's desires... and, more so, they are willing to stay with their desire. They understand more about leading with your heart...
Today, you might follow the little girl's lead to distinguish and then stay with your heart's desire...
Who knows, you just may find that Chanel has nothing on a duckie purse...
