The Heart Rock Collective: November 2008

Language of the Heart...

Have you ever discovered a 'heart' rock in your travels? Does it conjure up memories of a broken heart, a heart full of love or is it simply a stone in the shape of a heart? What does it symbolize to you? Each 'heart rock' offers a special meaning to the one who discovers or receives it. What's your story? Everyone has one.

Tell us about yours...
