Back in 1994, I was going through a difficult time. I was grieving the death of my boyfriend, working 2 jobs to make ends meet and living on a shoestring with very little social life. While my life felt stale and suffocating, the rest of the world seemed to be getting along fine. Everyone around me was getting married, advancing in their careers, buying homes, having babies and enjoying the next stages of life. I was at home one day, feeling particularly sorry for myself, eating a bag of Herr's BBQ potato chips. As I reached in the bag, I pulled out an amazing surprise... a chip with a heart burned in the middle. The heart was so exquisite, so perfect, that I could not deny it was a special gift for me. I took the chip out and placed it in a special place, pondering its meaning for years. Certainly this was a message of love. Was it from the beyond? Was it a prediction of things to come? Little did I know that many more hearts were to follow...
