As I was on my first stroll through the BlogHer Conference Expo Hall in New York City recently, I came upon a booth that was making jewelry...or so I thought. They asked "What's Your Word?"...and upon closer inspection I was intrigued, because they were dong so much more than just that...
The company is called MyIntent and is lead by Chris Pan who I got the pleasure of meeting and talking to. His mission for the company is to be a catalyst for meaningful conversations and positive energy. He explains how they "are not a jewelry company - they are an intentions project". They believe "there is a purpose within each of us and we want our efforts to encourage people to share more truth and inspiration with each other". They put your word, yourintent, on a bracelet or necklace to be a positive daily reminder for you....as well as spark conversation with others.
He began by asking me "What's your word?", then made it for me, right there, as I waited. I gave the word I chose some thought because I took it very seriously and I wanted to choose something that would truly inspire me daily and be that little reminder of my intent. As someone who reads and writes about Goal Setting and The Law of Attraction, I knew the power this word I chose could have for me.
After careful contemplation, I ended up choosing to get HWS - short for Happy WifeStyle. I chose this because for the past 15 months I've been working on something that's mine, and mine alone....for the very first time. I'm working on a goal of building my blog and starting something from scratch that I can be proud of. A place where I can inspire and help others to be happier and healthier. A place where people, especially women, can come to feel empowered to get exactly what they want out of life. It feels amazing to have finally found my passion and I want my intent to remind me to keep moving toward those goals every single day. I'm so thrilled with my choice because when I look at it, it's a true reminder of my intent...it makes me smile and mades me want to work even harder.
The intent behind this growing company just resonated with me, so I thought I'd share the love with all of my readers! Here are some words others have chosen...
This photo below with the simple word "mend" makes me think of my older brother right now. His wife was diagnosed with lung cancer two months ago. Within one month of diagnosis she lost the battle. She was his rock and he's having an incredibly hard time. Just as I'm posting this, I think I need to send him one with this word... a daily reminder that it will take time to mend. (I didn't intend to write about this....see, these truly inspire thought!)

Here is Adrian Grenier of Entourage showing his off... No, I don't think is says "Drama" :) My fellow Entourage fans will get that joke;)

I'm a huge fan of simple looking jewelry. This couldn't be more simple. You can choose a word up to 12 letters. They have different choices of colors on the website to choose from, along with different materials for the bracelets and necklaces. You can truly make it your own, one of a kind, special piece for yourself or a loved one.
So here's the question. What's Your Word?
Here are some questions to help inspire you....
- What do you want more of in your life?
- Close your eyes and imagine you in the future - what is different?
- What do you want to be reminded of every day?
- What is a challenge you want to overcome?
GUESS WHAT?MyIntent is offering YOU, my readers, 20% OFF with the Promo Code HWS20 for a limited time! (offer expires 3 weeks from the date this is posted.) Whoo-Hoo!!!!! Thanks MyIntent!!
Wondering what I have? I got the Pura Vida Limited Edition adjustable bracelet in the cream color as I wanted to be able to take it on and off easily (I don't sleep in my jewelry, except my wedding ring of course). I highly recommend it, I love it! I also got the necklace in gold color. Funny story about that...they made two HWS rings by accident, so he gave me the other one on a necklace! So nice of him! Thanks Chris! ;)
