Giveaway: Mighty Summit Necklace and Print

Business, Events, Gifts and Objects, Go Mighty

Today’s giveaway is a little more symbolic. First up is the Quintet Necklace, by one of my favorite etsy jewelers Lemonade Handmade:

Gold Rings Necklace — the Quintet by Lemonade Handmade

I’ve mentioned this necklace before, we gave one to each of the attendees to symbolize the five Life List goals they hoped to accomplish in the coming year. (Nicole did a lovely write up about it.) I love the necklace for its simplicity, and I like the idea of five golden rings being little commitments to yourself. I’ve been wearing mine every day since the Summit. Lovely.

Every year, we have an artist make limited edition prints to commemorate the weekend. This year Alma and Mike Loveland of Ollibird.com did block prints of the vintage blankets we lug onsite to keep everyone warm.

Alma, whose yellow sweater you may remember from a previous post, did the illustrations.

Mike hand painted the blankets for a little pop of color.

Mike and Alma teach all kinds of art and computer classes and they live in the Salt Lake City area. In fact, they’re hosting an art weekend in Salt Lake at this very moment, so head over if you’re in town.

The finished prints each featured a different color, but yours will be plum.

To enter, please tell us about your proudest accomplishment in comments. And the drawings are still open for our the Mighty Summit Giftbag and the Summit Necklace and Brooch giveaway, so throw your hat in there too.

Fine print: Please only leave one comment for each giveaway, because it’s the nice thing to do, and also because multiple entries will be disqualified. I’ll use random.org to select the winner, and I’ll announce who won at the top of this post and in a separate post next Thursday.

  1. I am proud that I have charted my own course by being president of my own medical communication firm since 1994. Through my company, I have worked to lay the groundwork for new vaccines in some of the poorest countries in the world, to combat stigma surrounding HIV in the US, and to craft materials that give people accurate, humane medical information when they have received a disease diagnosis that will forever alter the course of their lives.

  2. One of my proudest accomplishments will sound totally geeky — successfully managing an integral module of a database throughout a major database conversion.

  4. I *just* started my life list a few months ago, but my proudest accomplishment so far was booking a Caribbean cruise and an excursion to cross visiting some new places off of my list (Cozumel, Jamaica, and The Grand Caymans) and experiences (Hike Dunn’s River Falls and swim with dolphins) off of my list. I leave in 6 weeks and I can’t wait!

  6. I have a few proud moments (who knew?), but the biggest is being a much better parent than I thought I would be. It’s an ongoing process, but the really good days are better than wine and chocolate.

  12. I want these things so badly!!

    I’ve done lots of things on my life that people put on their life lists – I’ve lived overseas, I’ve learned languages, I’ve traveled extensively.

    But I am most proud of the relationship I’ve built with my husband. More mundane but really, a much more profound accomplishment.

    (Soooo cheesy.)

  13. Beating the odds and learning how to walk again after brain surgery. It’s been years and I never knew how much that accomplishment meant to me, besides the obvious advantages to being mobile. If nothing else, thanks for letting me realize that I’d made myself proud.

  17. Looks like it’s a pretty common feeling, but I’m most proud of my relationship with my wife and daughters. There’s not a day that goes by that I’m not filled with pride for them.

  27. I’m proud that I was able to say goodbye to my boy when I did.

    I lost my first dog, who was my first baby and my whole world, this spring to osteosarcoma. We could have gone through months of surgery, chemo, pain pills and still would have lost him. I wasn’t ready to let him go, but I’m glad I did. He never would have understood.

  37. I should say my kids, and I am proud of them, but I’m even prouder that I was smart enough to marry my husband. That guy rocks!

  38. Not dropping a class I was struggling in. Not letting myself take the easy way out and finishing the class taught me far more about myself than if I’d aced it.

  39. Learning to respect my body. I quit smoking 5 years ago. Since then, I’ve participated in 2 triathlons and discovered that exercise is the best medicine for me. I’ve also grown, birthed, and then nursed two healthy, smart, beautiful babies.

  42. My proudest accomplishments have been walking in the Breast Cancer 3 Day for two years – raising $2,300+ each time, spending 4 months walking between 15-50 miles a week to train, and then spending 3 days walking 30 miles each day to raise awareness for breast cancer. It’s been the best journey of my life being involved with the 3 Day.

  44. My proudest accomplishment is being a good mom. I am awed by how much love I’m capable of and I’m so proud that I’ve learned about restraining my need to love in favor of her need to be loved in ways that are specific to who she is, not who I think she should be.

  45. Sometimes, my reflection gets caught up in the one accomplishment that seems to elude me. But since I just had to look up allude v. elude, I can say understanding the difference is an accomplishment. =)

    This is why I need a life list! There are many things I’ve done and am happy to have in my life experience bucket (scuba diving, surviving a 20 mi backpack trip, travelling to several places I’ve wanted to see, success in my profession).

    When it comes down to it, I have received most satisfaction in the service of others. I just need to dedicate my time to that action.

  46. My proudest accomplishment is finishing law school. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever put myself through and I’m glad that I can look back later in my life and not wonder “what if?”

  47. Curated my own exhibit displayed at Lincoln Center. It was just a college internship, but man was I proud. The focus was New York Philharmonic (and predecessors) performances of Tchaikovsky’s music from 1876 to 1926.
