Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was able to watch a Hallmark movie and review it!! Yay!! I’m so glad to have my life somewhat back to normal. Having this new puppy in our house has been a bigger adventure than having two puppies last summer. But I’m sure you would rather to hear about the Hallmark movie instead of my own personal puppy drama 🙂

Journey of my heart captured my heart! From the adorable fresh faces of the two leads to the soul feeling vision question, I loved everything about this movie. I’ll do a quick re-cap, then cover my full two cents.

Quick Re-Cap

Abby is tasked with tracking down Alice Hughes for a news article about bald eagle populations. Alice and Abby make an agreement to work together to create an article that compares the counts from 50 years ago to today. Then Abby sets out to find Eagle’s Crest and Hidden Canyon for her portion of the article. Alice sets Abby up with Eric to help her find Eagle’s Crest/Hidden Canyon.

My Two Cents

I instantly liked Abby! She’s nice, down to earth, totally type A, and funny/geeky/cool. I loved when she was filling her backpack with food, then fell over from the weight. And when she yelled, “Hello world!” to the sky at Eagle’s Crest. 🤣 Computer geeks will find this extra funny/cute. But Abby’s willingness to try new things and ability to persevere really stole my heart.

Along with Abby, her dreams about eagles that led her down the path to the Eagle census also connected with my heart. I have always felt that paying attention to our dreams can help lead us down the path we were meant to follow. Abby did this and found her own vision quest to open her heart and soul, commune with the creator, and find her path. This was very deep for Hallmark, but I loved it.

I had Abby and the eagles. What else could make this movie better? It’s been a while since I’ve seen a Hallmark movie where I could feel actual chemistry between the leads. This movie changed that! The chemistry between Abby and Eric was palpable the whole movie. When they go fishing together, I seriously wanted Eric to just lean in and taste Abby’s neck. I didn’t know fishing could be so hot!

Please hang tight while I go take a cold bath…

Okay! Back! I grabbed the Fannie Mae s’mores mix on my way 🙂

Now that I’ve splashed some cold water on my face, I need to throw some cold water on this movie too. I know there are only so many plots out there, but Chasing Waterfalls wasn’t that long ago and Journey to My Heart shares the same climax 🙁 Even Jeff noticed it from the beginning. Oh Hallmark…you’re in a bad way when Jeff notices your patterns. LOL.

Despite the shared climax, I’m still giving this 5 stars. I loved everything else about this movie and it spoke to my heart. I hope you give this one a try. Happy movie watching y’all!
