A Thought for the Week
"Most people think the heart is mushy and sentimental. But it's not. The heart is intuitve, it's holistic, it's contextual, it's relational. It doesn't have a win-lose orientation. . . At times it may not even seem rational, but the heart has a computing ability that is far more accurate and far more precise than anything within the limits of rational thought." ~ Deepak Chopra
"No man can tell whether he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has." ~ Henry Ward Beecher
"Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart." ~ Unknown
As always, I love the quotes you've chosen. Deepak's quote about the intuitiveness of the heart is a space I'm living in right now. Even when my mind is trying to convince me that I "should" do something, or "need" something else in my life, my heart is my go-to. It always knows the truest truth, and guides me gently toward those people and things I most need at any given time.

"It always knows the truest truth." I love that Megan, it's so perfect. It's wonderful that your heart is your go-to. It's not what we're taught, and we're often derided for it, but it's my most valuable compass also.
