\"Heart<\/p>\n

Sara left these Heart Strings for me. The card that came with says: “This whimsical string of beads and charms will bring peace, harmony and abundance into your life. Hang the string by a door so the movement in and out of your home will stir the bell and cause it to ring.<\/p>\n

\"Heart Each charm and bead has symbolism: <\/p>\n

Donut – the continuity of life<\/p>\n

Leaf – abundance and success<\/p>\n

Bear – strength and courage<\/p>\n

Hand – faith and sincerity<\/p>\n

Heart – affection<\/p>\n

The Bell – focus of the mind<\/p>\n

I believe in the power of positive thinking – in having the vision of what we would like our lives and our everydays to be like. Vision can be a powerful tool. When we know what we want in our lives, we do a better job of making the choices that help get us there as well as saying no to those things that are not part of what we want.<\/p>\n

I look at this Heart String and remember the giver as well as what each charm and bead symbolizes. It helps to remind me what is important – focus, affection, faith and sincerity, strength and courage. When those things are the focus, abundance and success are mine. The continuity of life – the circle of life – a reminder that this earthly life is not all there is.<\/p>\n

My Heart Strings are hanging in my office across from my morning reading chair and by the sliding door to my back yard. I see it when I am quiet at the start of the day and think on those things it represents. The string is stirred by the movement through that door – a reminder during my work day. And – it is pretty on the wall – it brings to mind the friend who gave it – heart strings from one to another.<\/p>\n

**note added…several have emailed me asking about where to purchase. These are made by Susan Walters, susan.walters@gmail.com . She will make custom strings as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
