Photo Friday: Heart in Hands

Photo Friday: Your True Lens
In Last week's Photo Friday blog post I talked about photography as a contemplative practice. Christina Greve is a photographer, life coach, and blogger from Denmark who I find quite inspiring. She said in a past post, "Your heart and mind are…
