I actually walked past it, but it caught the corner of my eye and made me turn back. So this is a heart sending you off on your trip with lots of love and hoping you have a fabulous time!"

• The Where: Playa del Carmen, Mexico
• The Link: "It was actually Sarie's hat. Kendra brought it down here and we were looking at it. Suddenly, we both go 'Hey, there is a heart on it.' After I posted it I was thinking about how connected we all are in the world. As human beings. I am here in Mexico, posting a photo to people seeing it all over the U.S. and most importantly you in Chile. I have always loved the shape and symmetry of hearts... but they are not always symmetrical or perfect. I have been looking since you started the project; however, today, when I was not 'looking' for a heart... one appeared."

• The Who: Emily
• The Where: Katy, TX
• The Link: "My heart sighting happened as I was unloading my two sick girls out of the car last night. Exhausted, I looked down and saw the heart beneath my car. The shape was so reminiscent of the ones you see on the streets of Chile. It made me feel connected to the life that you live a continent away from me!"

• The Who: Anna and Aleena
• The Where: Berkeley, CA
• The Link: "My sister found this heart at the tot park where I take Ari almost every day. It's part of a mosaic that covers one of the walls, but I had never noticed it before. I had told her about the Chain-Link Heart Project, and she spotted it during her first visit to the park with us. When I took this picture, I was feeling happy and blessed to be out on a sunny winter day with my sweet sister, who I don't get to see very often. I like this heart because it seems to be full of good energy and playful spunk, like a Keith Haring Heart."

• The Link: "I stopped by Ladera Nursery on the way to my office today. Both Mercedes and Mary greeted me from the counter. They never fail to touch my heart when they ask about you, and they always do. I wished them a Happy New Year, looked down, and there they were, the first hearts of 2013. Finally!"

• The Where: Chestertown, MD
• The Link: "Since our new bakery has opened, I go down every morning around 11 for a latte. The machine they use is one of the great ones from Florence. I love this quiet time -- and take the cup up to my gallery. When you started the 'Heart' project for Lorenzo, I started looking for hearts -- and I am soooo unobservant!! I know why I run a gallery instead of create work for it. Well, I am bringing the coffee up the gallery stairs and I pause to take the first breath of latte foam into my mouth -- and through my crossed eyes -- floating on the surface -- there is Lorenzo's heart! It almost felt like communion. I let the foam rest gently in my mouth and sent my thoughts towards the heavens."

• The Link: "In the moment of photographing this heart I thought of the growing, hurting, feeling, reflecting, messing up and keeping on we all do. Being honest and direct with yourself and others is deep kindness and love. I drew this heart from 'no stopping' paint drops that hadn't fully dried yet. I hope others pause at this intersection and remember to have heart, take heart, and appreciate love. It's the artery for Martin Luther King Junior Drive into our other San Francisco city streets."

On our walks we have been taking extra time to reflect on life and all the things we have to be grateful for. These walks are a time I am reminded of how surrounded by love we are."
