POSTS STORIES REELS

So I have this thing- I'm obsessed with spotting heart shapes in random places. Leaves, clouds, chai spills, dosa, everywhere. And every time they pop up, it feels like a little 'hey you're loved ' from the universe.

It makes me smile every single time, I get many many imperfectly shaped heart shapes and that counts too. 🩷

Here's a compilation of all the hearts i collected over the last few months. 🩷 by @sampigemara

I'M SO EXCITED TO FINALLY SHARE THIS WITH YOU ALL🥹❤️

Today is my birthday, and I couldn't think of a more special day to share some lovely news.

I've written and published my very first children's book!

I WROTE A BOOK! A CHILDREN'S BOOK 🌼

"Aani Finds Love: On a Quiet Afternoon 🌷"

For the past five years, I've been collecting photographs of heart shapes I've come across in the most unexpected places. What started as a little personal collection slowly inspired me to create a story around the joy of noticing love in ordinary things.

And that's how Aani was born.

It's a little story about a girl, an afternoon nap, and her heart hunting, oh the lovely things we might discover when we slow down and look a little closer!!

My niece recently read the book, and afterwards she said, "I wanna find a heart!" 🥹

That one little sentence made me so happy. The thought that a story inspired by my own habit of finding hearts might inspire a little someone else to start looking for them too , that's something I'll cherish.

I haven't had the chance to hold a copy of my book just yet, but the first copy got delivered today to my niece and it makes my heart full watching her read it. 😍😍

Knowing that this little idea has made its way into the world is a feeling of its own.

I couldn't think of a sweeter birthday gift to give myself.

And perhaps, a little gift from me to the world. ❤️

If you'd like to take a peek, the book is now available on Amazon. I'll share more of Aani's little world soon.

More details about the purchase I'll be sharing soon, the book is available for purchase only in select countries as of now and will be available to purchase on Amazon India soon hopefully 😭

for now give me your congratulations and spread the word! Order link in bio! by @sampigemara

For the last three years, I've been quietly collecting little heart shapes hidden in ordinary places.
It never started with the intention of becoming a product. Every time I spotted one, I'd get ridiculously excited, point at it and say, "Look! Heart shape 😃!" 🤍
Over time, they became little reminders that I was loved. Tiny love notes hidden in everyday life.
This week, for the very first time, I turned that deeply personal collection into something people could hold.

I spent days printing, cutting, folding, handwriting 150 notes, and packing every single greeting card (with plenty of "help" from my two furry studio assistants 🐶🐶).

Last sunday, 150 women took a little piece of my Heart Hunt collection home.
There's something incredibly special about that.😭🌼

Thanks for the opportunity @womennetworkingclub and @cocoon_janhavirao

I hope one day, when someone finds a little heart hidden in an ordinary place, they'll pause, smile, and remember that they're loved too.
Happy Heart Hunting. ♡ by @sampigemara

I found photos of my older dogs napping here, my current dog as a puppy standing on my desk, and countless versions of this room in between. Turns out this room has been archiving my life better than I ever could. 💛

Anxiety doesn’t always look obvious.

Sometimes it looks like a woman sitting quietly on the floor, plucking her toenails after a long day.

A day spent smiling.
Performing.
Being who everyone needed her to be.

The thoughts are invisible.
The fear is invisible.

What remains are the small bodily rituals we develop to soothe ourselves.

The imaginary ghungroo on her ankle belongs to the little girl within her—the one who loved dance, longed to be seen, and is still very much alive.

Sometimes deepest struggles don’t look dramatic.

They look ordinary. by @sampigemara
