What a beautiful painting! Love the colors…And for me, I would say that I follow my heart everyday by staying in a country far away from my home…but I do it for my beloved boyfriend, could not live without him
I am following my heart by getting involved in things now that I’d love to do later. I’m writing more and more so that one day I might be published…I’m doing various things with the blog so that maybe I can work in publishing when I’m older or something similar. It gives me some experience at least and I love doing it.
I love the painting! I have a small dog so I fell in love with the painting quite quickly!
I’m following my heart by pursuing my dreams, education wise.
Good luck everyone! =)
And ty for the great giveaway.
This painting is just lovely!
I’m following my heart by spending more time with loved ones and not spending as much time stressing over work. Thanks!

I follow my heart by staying true to my faith and religion. I also follow my heart by still trying to pursue a job that I love even though I have faced much rejection so far. Beautiful painting, thanks for entering me into this giveaway.
I am following my heart by keeping a private blog where I just write short fiction. I am not entertaining anyone nor do I feel the pressure to be any good. I just write whatever comes to mind…because I love it because I feel it. It’s so small but it honestly makes my days better!
Aw, cool! I’m following my heart by going to culinary school! I graduate high school in two years and I’m SO excited!
Lovely painting! I’m following my heart by pursuing my dreams of graduating college and opening a Montessori school. I’ve been in love with the Montessori method for years, and am finally getting to the point where I can begin to plan for it! Yay!
I am going back to pursuing a dream that I had left behind. I am so excited about it, too!!!
I am following my heart by having and growing a healthy and loving family! So blessed!
What a special painting. Love it.
My heart.
At times it is heavy.
At times overjoyed.
At times filled with so much love I cannot stand it.
What comprises my heart is my family. My husband and my little boy…as well as my extended family. My animals (and really all animals) occupy a place in there too. As does mother nature. I have a special place in my heart for those who serve our country (military) as well as our country and cities (firefighters, police).
I support (follow) all of these beautiful things that occupy my heart. I get to stay home and be a mom and wife (and do Etsy as well as work part time). I support environmental and animal rights issues as well as our heroes, our U.S. Soldiers.

By quitting my lucrative law practice to become the ukulele player in a skiffle band..
I’ve already followed my heart by adopting my beautiful children.
I follow my heart by doing what I love and being with people I love, like my family and pets.
I am now in New Zealand with DH and finding my way towards being a professional crafter. A dream come true now we are here.
i am following my heart by learning to love who i am and not compromising for something or someone less than i deserve.
thanks for the great giveaway op!
Cute portrait. As for following your heart, being true to yourself I believe is the best way to.
I’m following my heart as shepherd and farmer of the sheep and horses at Thistle Cove Farm. God has given me the desire of my heart in this small homestead in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains of southwest Virginia. I spin the wool from the sheep, combine it with the American Curly horse fiber and knit scarves, hats, etc. I quilt, bake, cook, go to a little country church and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy all my blessings!
