Lighthouse Beach, Sanibel, FL USA

It’s true that these hearts find you; I am so grateful for this heart and it will travel with me at all times in my truck. So here is the finding story… decided earlier in the week to make a much needed road trip down to Sanibel; where my ex girlfriend introduced me to shelling and finding painted shells. This was a trip I had made with a heavy heart and mind that needed clearing. Going through a major breakup and a death it was just something I had to do… Well after driving 23 hours with my travel companion Bella my yellow lab we had made it down to Sanibel. It was about noon so we started looking for painted shells with no luck. Than we walked the beach looking for more shells to add to my growing collection with not much luck. Well that’s when it happened. I walked from the parking lot down to the road and spotted something in a tree. Unknowing to me what it was at the moment. I snapped a picture and made our discouraged walk back to the truck where I then visited the website. I was in awe and am so glad that this heart found me. Thank you to whoever made it and shared it. I will cherish it forever
