Oakland, CA USA

I had been feeling a bit lonely and was looking forward to seeing my students at their clinical site later today. Visiting the students is one of the best parts of my job and 2020 was brutal as we teachers couldn’t go see them at the hospitals. Today, because I’m not leaving for work until later, I altered my routine while walking my dog and decided to get a coffee. As we were walking back home, she tugged at the leash because she has her favorite sniff areas on our various routes and I found this heart on a bush outside one of the many office buildings in the area. Normally I would report something like this and go on my way but I stopped and Googled the project to find the heart was meant to be found and kept. So…here we are. I am overwhelmed with emotion and I don’t know why but thank you to the person who made this heart and sowed it in the place I needed to find it – it’s in my favorite colors of greens and blues, too.
