Day 130 – Alex and Ani

Alex and Ani is a very large RI based jewelry company. I had heard of it and admired the jewelry prior to moving here but hadn’t yet purchased any pieces. We just happen to live down the road from a store. It is so extremely popular here. Everywhere you look people have an arm full of these amazing bracelets.

The beauty behind this jewelry line is that it is infused with positivity as well as many pieces have a portion of the proceeds going to charity. The service in the store is A+. They explain each piece in detail explaining who created the piece, which charity will benefit and what the piece represents. It also comes with a card explaining the same.

For today’s intention I wanted to begin my bracelet collection with a piece that represented me at this juncture of my life in regards to the blog and Heather. I had a couple I went back and forth between and I had my friend Lena there with me and she encouraged me to just pick the one I felt the strongest feelings toward. I was considering getting both but decided that I needed just one at this time to truly represent my intentional living in honor of Heathers blessed life on this earth.

When I think of Heather and I – I think of only happiness. When I think of this blog, I think of intentional positive living. And in the spirit of those things I chose the “Positive” charm bracelet. It represents Inspiration, Happiness and Enthusiasm and says the word Positive on it in many different languages. On the back of the explanation card it reads:

“Positivity is contagious. Share your kind energy with others to start a movement of optimism. Greet each day with an open heart because every situation is enhanced with enthusiasm. Overcome any obstacle with upbeat persistence and create your own positive life.”

Well….I must say, I don’t see a more appropriate representation of what I am trying to accomplish. Although I have always lived my life with the “glass half full” mentality and “live life to the fullest” behavior- I am embracing each day as an opportunity to add a daily intention in my life. I hope this does indeed start a movement of optimism where each and every reader of this blog feels inspired and moved enough to begin to incorporate this way of living in his/her life. I hope each and every reader sees that they are blessed with the gift of life and lives it to the very fullest with positivity and happiness. #HGALwouldbesoproud
