From a dream, with love
Our Story
Wholeheartedly began with a dream.
One night, I dreamt about the word Wholeheartedly. It stayed with me so clearly that when I woke up, I immediately wanted to know what it meant. At the time, I didn't even realise that wholeheartedly was an actual word.
I believe that God often speaks to me through dreams and visions, so I knew I needed to pay attention.
I looked up the word and discovered that wholeheartedly means with your whole heart — completely, sincerely and with genuine love and commitment.
As I read those words, pictures and ideas started filling my mind. I could see colours, drawings, words and little gifts — but I didn't yet know exactly what they would become.
One day my friend, Tanya O'Connor, came to visit. I told her about all these pictures I had in my head and asked her to help me put some of them onto paper.
And so we began to draw.
Over time, different pictures began to take shape. I started adding beautiful, meaningful words to them — words of love, faith, hope, encouragement.
The heart behind the drawing
This was one of the very first drawings created for Wholeheartedly.
The girl reaching upwards with the red heart represents giving from the heart — offering your love, faith, dreams and the things that matter most to you. She is not holding the heart close to herself; she is reaching out with it, as if what has been placed in her heart is meant to be shared with others.
The little green leaf represents growth, new beginnings and life — something small that has been planted and is beginning to grow.
For me, this drawing captures the heart of Wholeheartedly beautifully: something that began as a dream, was put onto paper, and slowly grew into meaningful gifts created to touch someone else's heart.
From a dream, to a drawing, to something given wholeheartedly. ❤️
