What happens when you follow your heart?

I made a vow to myself at the beginning of this year to follow my heart no matter where it takes me. I set an intent to say yes to my heart’s desires, determining that when opportunities arise, rather than question, I will do. This has meant saying yes to my heart. Over the course of the year, those intuitions have proven to be “right” and in service to others.

Following my intuition typically results in a win for me and for someone else. Following my heart at the HCI event meant to intuitively go wherever I felt pulled. I found myself with the right people at the right time saying just what I was meant to say or do. I had conversations with new people, remained open to whatever might happen and experienced several serendipitous occurrences as a result of that approach, making new friends and clients along the way.

This approach even carried over into my personal life, facilitating positive experiences in settings that have often been challenging. Following my heart has led to heart-opening experiences as well as fun and wild adventures. When I follow my heart, I am more passionate, more present and available to myself and to others. It has also meant having difficult, scary talks with loved ones, friends and clients.

This is one goal or commitment that I stay with. From the time that I had my heart attack, or my heart “awakening,” I have embraced this way of living in a heartfelt way, no pun intended.
