What started as a blog on the author's website has become a book. Not that Nanna intended it that way. The idea developed along with the work. HEART: Musings and messages for, and from, the heart at a time when consciousness is being called to evolve. HEART: A wanting to offer empathy and mirroring to a heart feeling wounded, grieving or lost. As well as to a heart feeling blessed by beauty, inspiration, and love. HEART: A desire to feel in the moment, grace it with presence, and share poems and reflections, from a writing life. Cherishing the heart, especially in troubled times, is the essence of this work. As it went along Nanna found it was as if the work itself was offering her heart a chance to awaken, and invite wisdom to arise. Sensing it might offer others a similar inspiration, she found herself ready to turn the writing into a book.

Nanna's words heal. Her poetry is balm for the soul, a language of the heart that returns us to what matters most in life. Cheryl Richardson best selling American author, life coach, presenter and broadcaster What can I say? Your poems help us reach inside ourselves to our essence. They help us remember who we are. They are fierce with tenderness, truth and love. Christiane Northrup MD. Noted American visionary, writer, speaker and television personality Svendsen has really thought about the essence of things, the emotional machinery of living, and there is something really appealing about her crisp and almost visionary observations. She shifts the shadows to show light, shifts the light to show shadows. There is no cleverness, no word-magic, just the offering of some cold and warming eternal truths. Peter Thabit Jones editor Seventh Quarry Poetry Magazine, Wales Nanna's poems are full of the charm of an innocent child, the passion of a feminine heart and the wisdom of the deepest soul. I am always opened and transformed by them. Eva Sanner Swedish author and therapist
