It’s something that I keep coming back to … as I promote my own books and the series as a whole, I’m always talking about opening the heart; but I really wonder what that means to different people.

I think about it every time I do manuscript consultation on an Open Your Heart book, finding that even within our series, authors have very different concepts of what opening one’s heart means, both in terms of how much they’re willing to open up … and in terms of what they feel is appropriate to share with readers. And I think about it every time I’m on a radio show or doing a print interview, as the interviewer reflects back to me her or his conceptualization of what I’m expressing.

It makes me wonder what a reader is thinking — is expecting — when she picks up one of the series books and opens it to the first page … to a random page … and reads some of the words there. What is he looking for? Does the book he picked up respond to that need?

What is opening the heart? What does it mean to others? What does it mean to you?
