Page 143 - Opening our hearts can be very hard as we are naturally afraid of being hurt! I consider myself so lucky that when I opened my heart to love I found the right person all those years ago. But we need to open our hearts not just to love but many other people and experiences or we miss so much in life! One of the easiest times to open our hearts is at the birth of our children. In times of trouble we can find help by opening our heart, often from an unlikely person. Maybe Maria was referring to God when she said these words. I won't be half hearted about opening my heart wide again.

I have altered the photo by wrapping in clingfilm to show how wrapped up we can be! Sometimes in ourselves so we don't open our hearts to others!
