A film by Hailey Bartholomew.

Filmmaker and photographer Hailey Bartholomew recently moved to the beach and decided to test her theory that "what we see mainly depends on what we look for." In three weeks of walking the beach every couple of days, she and her family and friends found 352 heart rocks! In this sweet video, made on a shoestring budget (filmed on an iPhone and edited in iMovie), Hailey concludes that "If we choose to look for something beautiful in the people around us, we will find it."

    What a beautiful inspiring video. I too have been collecting hearts in nature and believe also that you find what you are looking for, by paying attention. What is the name of the song you have playing in the background? I absolutely love it! 💙

    I have experience this so often in my life that I am surprised I don't use it more often for stuff that makes me feel really lit-up and energized! Hailey has done a wonderful job putting this practice into our visual memory! Thank you so very much!

    I remembered reading a poem about shiny pennies. When my husband was dying I asked him to place some on earth for me after his death to make me feel warm inside. The first time I left the house after his death I found one on my car seat, after shopping there was one on the ground in front of the driver's door. It has been 5 years and I have found over a thousand shiny pennies. the last 2 were a week ago. I was on vacation in the Ozarks, staying in the same room where we always stayed and there was a shiny penny on the floor next to the bed. I believe you find what you seek. Always be aware.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE this video! thank you for making it. 2 years ago, I challenged the people in my life to look for love everywhere they go. the results have been amazing. people just keep sending me stuff. it's awesome! I have almost 300 photos in an album from all over the world where people have found it. here's the link to share. I love your experiment AND I believe what you say to be true. What we look for is what we find. https://www.facebook.com/Cinderita/media_set?set=a.10150375949030335.604224.858740334&type=1

    it's so true. i vacation every year at the beach and come home with so many heart rocks and shells to share. I also find them when i am hiking the trails of north carloina. On the trails, in the rivers, just about anywhere. i too believe it is because i believe in love! i LOVE the idea of looking for squares, but i challenge everyone to find triangles too. i found a perfect piece of sea glass in the shape of a triangle. fun...fun...fun

    LOVE. Thank you so much for illuminating the LOVE that is EVERYWHERE around us. Let us all seek to SEE it. Hug from my heart to yours. Resonated so much with this. Of course I am a Free HUGGER and a Storyteller who focuses on stories of hope, resilience and overcoming adversity, so it makes sense that I would LOVE this video. GREAT job Hailey, thank you for sharing your Heart!

    What inspired you about this video? My family and I collect heart stones too. As in your story, they seem to pop up out of no where. I started collecting them in memory of my Mom, who I adored and was one of my bestest ever friends. Then they were for my husband of 43 years who is very ill. And my daughters Jane and Robyn. And my grandchildren. And my dog. And well, everyone and everything I love. So when I was lonely or scared or grieving or missing my loves, there would pop up a heart rock or a piece of heart shaped driftwood to remind me that love is all around, ever and always.

    I have hundreds of heart rocks and photos of hearts that just appear in nature. I call them God's love Notes. Signs that God was there first loving us into existence and enjoying nature with us. I have to show this video at church. It is so me!

    Amazing, to find that many heart rocks because you want to find them. My lesson from this is to look for positive things in life and from your'e video it should happen - thank you.

    the gorgeousness of a sparkling Summer day by the water's edge, so gently depicted is very up-lifting. It totally wiped out the fog-ridden gloom that hung over my area ALL DAY today. Brava for a lovely black and white poem.
