There is so much talk these days about being ‘mindful’. But what exactly does being ‘mindful’ mean? I am no expert by any means, but being ‘mindful’ to me means being “present,” not letting what is happening at any other point affect your thinking at this exact moment. I don’t know, it is hard for me to explain, because to me, being in the “present” also means being grateful for things you have received, or have not received yet. To me it means, focusing your attention on this particular moment and thinking positively. Let me tell you, these past few weeks, that has been a very difficult thing to do. But you know what has helped?

I recently received the TalktotheTurtle’s Jewelry Imagine Charm Dangle.


The Dangle is a “…beautifully crafted silver affirmation charm clipped to your purse or your belt loop. These inspirational Dangle Charms are a 7/8″ diameter fob cast in nickel/silver. They hang on an oval link nickel-plated chain that connects to the nickle-plated swivel snap hook. The semi precious crystal quartz stone is highly polished and each stone is unique in its beauty.”

I actually hooked mine to my key chain because I knew that whenever I picked up my keys I would have to look at the Dangle. And you know what? When I did and I saw that word “Imagine,” my brain stopped what it was doing for a second and I did “imagine”. I “imagined” things I long for, not money or things, but more like, good health, strong kids, etc. I took the time, even if it was for only a minute or two to “imagine” good, positive thoughts. And you can bet, that if I did not have that Dangle on my keys, that would not have happened.

The Dangles are a great way to help you start being “mindful,” having positive thoughts, imagining what you want, being grateful for what you have or what you will receive. But not only that, it is very beautiful to look at!

And one other thing I must mention. Rena Campbell, the owner/creator of TalktotheTurtle, also has her own blog. It is more of a personal blog though and I find it truly inspiring to read. She posts about her life, about Feng Shui, lists positive quotes, and more! I am so glad she attached her blog to her web page, otherwise I don’t know if I would have ever found it. But I am a new follower of her blog because everyone could use a little inspiration!
