Just some of the 23,000+ polymer clay hearts created by pediatrician Dr. Ron Lehocky, (known to his young patients as “Dockily Hockily” – but also answering to Docky-Hocky, Doctor Ron, and Doctor Little Hocky). He’s been working with special needs children since 1974. Sales of his unique hand-made heart brooches have raised over $100,000 for the Kids Center for Pediatric Therapies in Louisville, Kentucky.

Happy Heart-o-Ween, my heart sisters! And remember that dark chocolate (well, okay, in moderation!) is good for our hearts!

What beautiful pins and a reminder to all of us that even when dealing with serious health concerns there is time for whimsy! I guess there is therapy in being light hearted!

There sure is! I just love these whimsical little pins, and the fact that this doctor has handmade thousands of them is especially moving.

I’d love some of these too, June! They are available for sale around Louisville, but I guess he’s too busy being a pediatrician to have a mail order service! 😉
