If your heart lives in...

Jewelry designer Truche on Etsy has a series of necklaces dedicated to the locations near and dear to our hearts (i.e. most states in the United States and some foreign countries to boot). Check out her shop!

It's no secret that I love Ohio. Another piece of my heart lives in Tennessee... but that's another story altogether. I'm very happy with my life right now, but I have to admit it is hard living so far away from my family. Thank goodness for cell phones, c-mail, g-chat, facebook, etc. Nevertheless, sometimes I wish I could give them all a big hug!

"And where the journal may lead you

let this prayer be your guide

though it may take you so far away

always remember your pride."

Kudos to the person who knows where this quote comes from. (Amanda, you don't count.)

Yes, I am a dork and I embrace it.
