Welcome to the heartwork garden

Carry the light.
Pass it on.

Small wooden reminders, rooted in kindness and created to find the soul who needs them most. Every piece begins in my hands—but its purpose begins in yours.

The first three kindness tokens Lyddi created in March 2026: You’re Not Alone, You Matter, and Someone Is Glad You Are Here

Where the roots first took hold

Meet Lyddi—the Heart Behind the Heartwork

I’m Lyddi—a mother, survivor, writer, artist, and heartweaver. I call myself Love because after living through enough darkness to understand how deeply light is needed, I made the choice not to let that darkness become what I carried forth into the world.

On July 31, 2025, I lost a dear friend and coworker to suicide. Before he left this life, I received a goodbye phone call that will remain with me forever. His absence showed me how far the loss of one precious soul travels—through mothers, siblings, friends, coworkers, and entire communities left searching for answers.

No story should end too soon. No person should believe their light has disappeared simply because they cannot see it in that moment.

In March 2026, during a deeply personal season of growth, I created my first kindness token. It was small enough to fit inside a pocket, but it carried the message my heart needed to place into the world:

You Matter.

Today, I carry these reminders everywhere. I leave them for strangers, place them into waiting hands, and send them wherever a little light may be needed.

These are not merely pieces of wood. They are little pieces of me—my survival, my love, and my promise to keep creating connection.

I am Lyddi.
I am Love.
And this is my heartwork.

For every soul who leaves pawprints on our hearts

Inspired by Cookie—our beloved senior girl whose joyful smile, loyal heart, and unmistakable little voice have filled our family with love for eight wonderful years.

Slow progress is still progress

One Step at a Time

There is no race to become who you are becoming. One faithful step into a new day after another—keep going.

A reminder for the journey within

Come Home to Yourself

The heart behind the hands

I don’t just make things. I pass along reminders.

I’m Lyddi—a writer, creator, rescuer of overlooked things, and a heartweaver. I feel people deeply, often before many words are spoken. That is why I carry all kinds of little messages with me. I never know who I may meet or what their heart might need to hear that day.

They may look like little wooden tokens, but to me they are messages waiting for the right person.

Pieces of Me, by Lyddi grew from a simple truth: connection still matters. My heartwork is not about perfection. It is about purpose—turning wood, words, rescued pieces, and everyday inspiration into something that helps another soul feel seen.

Create

Turning lived experience into something meaningful.

Connect

Meeting people heart-to-heart, exactly where they are.

Inspire

Leaving a little more light than I found.

Help Carry the Light

Pieces of Me, by Lyddi began in March 2026 after a deeply personal season of loss, reflection, and growth. These tokens were never meant to sit quietly on a shelf—they were created to travel, connect, and reach the soul who needs their message.

After losing a dear friend and coworker to suicide in 2025, something within my spirit shifted. I became determined to carry my little light farther. Today I keep tokens with me every day, leave them at gas pumps and unexpected places, hand them to the people I meet, create requested batches, and donate them to special causes throughout my community.

Support the Heartwork

Give any amount toward wood, engraving materials, finishing supplies, packaging, and the everyday costs of keeping these messages moving from hand to hand.

Sponsor a Special Cause or Community Event

Suggest a nonprofit group, school, church, first-responder event, or community gathering. Donations are gathered toward materials so Lyddi can design and create a meaningful large batch for the selected event. The artwork may reflect the cause, but the heart of every token remains the same: You Matter—because we all matter.
