While touring the Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens yesterday, I saw this beautiful heart-shaped cactus. It made me think of the various states we might find our heart in, represented by the prickly spines. Are we trying to guard our heart, keep others out or protect ourselves? Are we emotionally unavailable, shut down, or sabotaging ourselves? Or have we been hurt, betrayed or stabbed in the back? Our hearts are precious. We give and receive love through them. Nurture yours today. Care for it first. Love yourself, trust yourself, forgive yourself. Let your intuition guide you in matters of the heart. Love and be loved by those who make you feel safe, secure, seen, heard and known. Photo: Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden, 12.28, 22 by LA
