Heart and Soul

Heart is:

• A muscular organ about the size of a fist, located just behind and slightly left of the breastbone. The heart pumps blood through the network of arteries and veins called the cardiovascular system.

Heart can also be defined by its color, as seen in emojis. Emojis are an electronic form of communication used on mobile and seen on social media.

Soul

Soul is the embodiment of what makes “you” who you are. It consists of your mind, character, thoughts, and feelings.

Soul Food originated in the mid-1960s, when "soul" was a common word used to describe African-American culture. At its core, soul food is basic, down-home cooking that's been passed down through many generations, with its roots in the rural South. 

A Southwestern classic (shown below)  is the Soul Food Burrito! Full of yummy/healthy collard greens!

 Some other examples are: Hush puppies, Johnnycakes, and Macaroni Pie!

Together, “Heart and Soul” is a powerhouse of human emotions and strength. It is a melding of two parts into one. It embodies the emotions one feels as the sun sets. A sense of self, focus, and strength.

Passion and Power are the feelings that the our Sorrel and Mero totes from T|W evoke. They are made from vegan leather, are insulated and compartmentalized. Roomy enough to hold your lunch/snack/dinner/breakfast and a nice tall bottle of water (spring, seltzer or carbonated). With some leftover pockets for your keys, cell phone/ batteries and notebooks. 

 Remember to include some sweets for your special someone!
