My heart's garden
On our grateful walk this weekend, Bella spotted a baby iguana in the process of molting.

Guess who I discovered in the "Our Key West" magazine today? Bella! Here is what it says - Grateful Walks - Rise with the Sun On our morning grateful walk, I choose to rise with the sun by allowing my heart to seek beauty around me and within me.

On a recent grateful walk to the West Martello Fort, Bella and I sat and watched nature overcome the wallsbuilt by man as a means of protection from the darkness of humanity.I thought about how I have createdwalls around my heartto keep out the darkness of humanityand no matter how high I have built them,goodness always finds a waypast my barriers.May today find blessings spilling over any walls your heart may have builtand your heart swimming in goodness.-Jenny and Bella
On a recent grateful walk with Bella,
she reminded me
that to leave the irritations of my mind,
I’ve got to delve into
the sea of my heart
and remember

the long-lost treasures in me.
May today find you
leaving behind the irritations
that was a necessary part
in creating your pearls of wisdom
to treasure the beauty
that has been formed in you.
-Jenny and Bella
