This is my personal mantra.
So when I saw this necklace by Lisa Leonard, I was smitten. Not only is it beautiful, and beautifully crafted, but it is also a constant reminder to me to be still. To slow down. To listen to that still small voice that is inside of each of us. As a mother, I rely on that voice everyday. It is nearly impossible to hear it when we are always hurrying from one thing to the next. And so I try to sit quietly. And to listen.
Don't you love Lisa Leonard? I do. And I'm not even a jewelry person. But her pieces are so perfectly classic and understated and easy to wear. Her teenie tiny initials necklace is another of my favorites. I can't wait to order another charm for mine (But what letter will it be? It's killing me.).
Not only is Lisa super talented, but she's really nice, too. She is offering one of my lucky readers their very own "Be Still" necklace. Do you want in? Then comment on this post before Wednesday night, 11pm MST to enter yourself in the giveaway.
The winner will be announced first thing Thursday morning.
Good luck!
**This giveaway is now closed.**

ReplyDeleteI bought the Be Still print from Type, Type, Type, as seen on your sister's blog and framed it and hung it where I see it everyday. What a wonderful reminder! I would love the necklace to have another good reminder of this. It is beautiful.

ReplyDeleteI love it! Simplicity is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteNeeds to be my mantra! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous necklace and perfect reminder. The chaos of each day does make it difficult to remain centered . . . and it's always nice to have a reminder! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely do want this necklace! Be Still My Soul is my all-time favorite hymn and my personal mantra too.
ReplyDeleteThank you both for this opportunity!
It is beautiful and so true:)
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. Her jewelry is amazing.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLisa's work is super gorgeous and I'd love to own a Be Still necklace!
ReplyDeleteProbably the ONLY benefit to me being sick is that I have a chance to sit... and I do think a lot about our family dynamics. It's been good for us.
ReplyDeleteAnd that necklace is very pretty, too.
count me in! I love it!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I love her stuff. This will be the 3rd time entering a giveaway of hers this week! Hopefully I'll win:).

ooohhh. I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like this - beautiful...
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you - I too am NOT a jewelry person, but Lisa's work moves me with her simplicity, and I've bookmarked her site on my husband's computer! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love this necklace, and I love, love your blog. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the necklace. And your blog :)
ReplyDeleteI love this necklace, I have been eyeing it for awhile. Thanks for the opportunity!

What a beautiful necklace, I am inspired by your blog, I am also a stay at home mom.
ReplyDeleteUm...I totally need this beautiful reminder.
ReplyDeleteI <3 Lisa Leonard's jewelry! I purchased her 'redeemed' necklace from (in)courage and I wear it almost every day! So beautiful. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI follow you on twitter and get your updates sent to my phone. When I saw that you posted “Fabulous giveaway on my blog today” I went straight on to check it out and let me tell you this is absolutely fabulous!! I just got married a year ago in October, my husband and I both work full time, he’s the associate worship pastor at our church and I’m training for a marathon, so this necklace is an amazing reminder to just “Be Still”. I often find myself thinking, where has the week gone?! I feel like too often I get caught up in the chaos/business of everyday life and the days keep passing by so quickly! I need that reminder to just sit and listen. I think you put it perfectly when you said that it’s, “easy to wear”. It’s so simple, yet has so much meaning behind it. Something that you could wear with anything. It’s timeless.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteYup, I adore Lisa's work. Every piece is just stunning and they are constant reminders of the people i love and the life I cherish.
ReplyDeleteI love the motto and the necklace...fun seeing you for 3 seconds today too :)
ReplyDeleteI love her designs!

ReplyDeleteLisa's artistry is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteThe first time I ever saw Lisa's jewelry was on my sweet, sweet girlfriend. "Be Still" was perfect. She had just received it from her husband as an offering of love and reconciliation after their marriage suffered an enormous betrayal. You see, this necklace was no longer just a piece of jewelry, but a reminder that there is forgiveness to be had and that each day is new. And when she is still...it daily serves as a reminder of victory. I love seeing it on her and when she touches it, I can see her calm down...as she remembers that what was almost lost, is renewed. Thanks for sharing this very precious, more-than-a-make-you-look-pretty, jewelry.
ReplyDeleteI love her stuff so much!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love her necklaces.
ReplyDeleteLove it! So beautiful, would love an initial necklace too!...
ReplyDeleteI've never seen her jewelry but it is beautiful and I'd love to be wearing that necklace.

ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love about Lisa's jewellery!
ReplyDeleteI love the "Be Still" necklace. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love your mantra. being still is something I have a hard time with...and I so need that right now. My husband and I have been struggling with infertility, and it has been the hardest thing I've ever faced. I need to remember to just be still and let the Lord work in my life more. To give him the room to heal my heart, and my fears. such a wonderful reminder.
ReplyDeleteI love these pieces too! I am in the process of redefining my mantra. I was a stay at home mom, now a working mom taking the plunge back to a single income. I believe this will be a new start for our family, a return to lifes simple pleasures. Ahhh.
ReplyDeleteOOOOHHH pick me pick me! I love her things...
ReplyDeleteAs a mom I need to be reminded of this DAILY! It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so cute. I love it!
ReplyDeleteHi! i found your blog in a round about way. I read Cuisine Nie and when I posted about a recipe from there that I liked, my best friend Heater, told me her cousin made the pumpkin whoopie cookies.
ReplyDeleteSmall world!
Anyway, I had to comment on this because my favorite quote is "Be still and know that I am God." Also, I love birds and I love this necklace. So here's hopin!
I can't wait to look around your blog.
Cheers!
Greta

ReplyDeleteThis past December I have just begun to "be still." I decided I needed time for me, away from family. Being a stay at home is more stressful than some think, although it does have it's many blessings. But there are times I need to be still. I would love to add this beautiful necklace to my jewelry collection as a reminder to "be still".........even if it is only five minutes a day!
ReplyDeleteI never win, but I'll give it a go. The necklace is beautiful simplicity!
ReplyDelete"Be Still" is my mantra as well! I actually have it on plaques all over my home!! I LOVE this necklace because I also love birds! So pretty and sweet!
