"I Believe, I Believe, I Believe."

When my daughter and I were shopping in a local boutique, she fell in love with the concept of The Giving Keys.

We are celebrating her 16th birthday this year so I went back to purchase the key necklace. I chose the key that says "BELIEVE" because turning 16 is such a milestone in a person's life and my daughter's beliefs will shape her future.

I gave her the BELIEVE necklace as well as the following poem:

Here is the key to a beautiful life full of wisdom, love, and happiness.
Believe in your heart, for the heart will lead you to love.
Believe in your faith, for God will always hold you in the palms of His hands.
Believe in your spirit, for your attitude will create opportunities and success.
Believe in your talents and use them to inspire others.
Believe in your friends for they know your secrets and desires.
Believe in your family, for they are always there for support and encouragement.
Believe in yourself for you are unique and special.

When times are troubled and you're feeling down, hold this key in your hand, close your eyes  and say, "I believe, I believe, I believe."

Poem about the key necklace- When Kaleigh finds the right person, she will pass the key on to someone who needs to believe.

THE GIVING KEYS - ENNEAGRAM NECKLACE

The Giving Keys - Enneagram Necklace

When I first heard the Type 2 song by Sleeping At Last, I did what most people do…I cried. No, I wept.

The song is so beautifully and poignantly written.

The phrase “Myself too” is like a daily reminder to check-in with myself. How am I doing? How am I feeling? Do I have needs that I haven’t gotten to because I’m too busy attending to others or avoiding my needs all together because I don’t believe I’m worth taking care of?

It’s something I feel I will always be working on.

Here is the GREAT news… I teamed up with the lovely people at The Giving Keys and we are giving away their new Enneagram Key Collection.

⁣
It's in celebration of @sleepingatlast's collection of Enneagram songs, so each key has a special word correlated to their Type.

THE DANA DIARIES

Based in Downtown LA, The Giving Keys, is taking on homelessness one key at a time. Social impact is at the heart of what they do, and each piece of jewelry or accessory purchased from their collections helps create jobs for people transitioning out of homelessness! I don’t know about you, but thats a mission I know I can get behind! To date, they’ve generated 160,696 hours of work for those who need it the most. You read that right: 160,696. Incredible.

All of the pieces are assembled and hand-stamped at the HQ in DTLA. If you haven’t checked out their collections yet, do it. Do it now. They have tons of different styles of keys, ranging from modern to vintage, and they come in various lengths and sizes! I’m wearing the Brooklyn Dainty Key Necklace, which is one of their new styles! The chain is to die for and goes so well with my other layered necklaces!

Each piece of jewelry is designed to inspire you to be your best self! By now, I’m sure you noticed my key says “Strength” on it. Here’s the lowdown: In addition to picking out your key, you also choose your own word to be hand stamped onto the front. I decided on “Strength” because it’s a word that really resonates with me right now.

Here’s what makes these products even more unique: The Giving Keys encourages you to embrace your word, and then pass your piece on to a person that needs the message more than you. Not only are you paying it forward through helping homeless people find work, but you’re paying it forward to your immediate community by lifting them up when they need it the most. I love it and I’m looking forward to sharing my word with someone that needs it.
