Follow Your Heart

Spotted this little nugget of inspiration while strolling down Abbot Kinney on Saturday. I had been shopping from some friends at the Venice Meet and on my way to pick up some paper goods, and of the numerous amount of street art on Abbot Kinney, "Follow Your Heart" stood out the most. And it meant a lot to see. All those friends selling their handmade good and gourmet edibles are following their entrepreneurial desire, sharing their love through their goods. The boutique I was heading to is a locally owned small business and showcased so much stationery, for the many from independent designers who do what they love. And I was enjoying such a good summer day with good people, inspired to create for an upcoming trade show, following my heart.

It's such an easy saying and such a simple thought, but it's so deep and meaningful. Whether professional, personal, emotional, following your heart and what you feel ultimately brings happiness.
