What makes your wild heart beat faster?
It’s not very often someone asks you something so directly (or at least not since I played those boy-loves-girl-loves-boy-but-not-as-much-as-that-other-one board games from grammar school or read Sweet Valley High), so this has sort of hibernated subterranean in my daily routine since Jamie asked me to write about it. I’ve thought about it in the grocery store (is an appropriate answer for all the people in the 12 Items or Less aisle to actually have 12 items or less?), while walking the pups (of whom are lucky to be graced by two, and when either one of them tears off towards the woods, my heart is very quickly a-racing), and while driving home from the – yes – Valentines dinner our church hosts every year where we bring down the average population by a good thirty years (at least). It’s actually a very hard question, you know, what makes your heart beat faster. (via The Ivy Plum Collection)
So, our darling girl Jamie has started yet another fabulous project: this time, it’s the Ivy Plum Collection. It’s a very cool collaborative work (chockabock full of writers I adore), and this week, she asked everyone what makes your wild heart beat faster? I count myself totally, blissed-out lucky she included me in the group and I got to answer the question, so take a toddle on over to Ivy Plum and let us know: what makes your wild heart beat faster?
