Hi! Thanks for dropping in to Pathways of the Heart where I’ll share lighthouse stories and writing insights.
The reason I chose the name Pathways of the Heart combines both topics, lighthouses and writing. As a lighthouse enthusiast, I’ve visited over 100 lighthouses. I’m fascinated by lighthouses, so I love to read and research lighthouses all over the world looking for stories to share. I prefer positive, hopeful and true stories about how lighthouses and their keepers survived and helped others survive as well. Perhaps you like to know those stories too.
Lighthouses provide light to direct ships to safe harbor and away from danger. People also need illumination to show us which path to take. Join me as we explore the various pathways we take when we follow our hearts. Sometimes those paths lead us into dangerous situations. Other times we find happy endings. But all of us are following some path. How do we know which way to go? Can we always trust our hearts, which can be easily swayed by emotions? Or is there direction from another, more reliable source to shed light on our path?
In my writing blog, I share what I’ve learned on my writing journey as I’ve followed that path.
You can subscribe to either blog or both. In addition, you can subscribe to my monthly newsletter which is mostly about my latest book or lighthouse adventure or both. I do not post the newsletter more often because I respect the need to keep your mailboxes uncluttered.
If you like one of my posts on the Lighthouse blog or A Writer’s Path, feel free to push the share button and share it with your friends on Facebook, Twitter or one of the other choices available. Your comments are greatly appreciated as well.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Marilyn
