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. Manning up (as it were) and asking for a divorce, when it became clear we were not going to “fix” things. It was simultaneously awful and liberating, and, if I do say so myself, I handled it with grace and dignity. Or rather, more grace and dignity than not.

  2. Proudest accomplishment to date: going to college and getting a BFA in Music Theatre when everyone else told me to be a teacher instead. Huzzah!

  4. I’d have to say that my two lovely sons are my biggest accomplishment – they are kind, considerate (mostly) and have very nice manners.

  5. Showing up everyday. My mom always said giving birth is easy, it is showing up every day that is hard. (I think time may have clouded her memory of the pain)

  9. Earning an AAS in culinary arts with a baking and pastry specialty while working full time and raising my son by myself. My unproudest (not that you asked) is that I’m not currently putting my degree to use. 😦 It is on the life list.

  10. Hmmm, that’s a tough one. I think I’m not feeling super accomplished or proud right now (note to self…work on that), but I think my proudest was taking a big risk on love once – didn’t work out, but I still feel so proud of myself for being willing to take the leap.

  13. My proudest accomplishment in my short 39 years was picking myself up and moving on after my husband of 15 years informed me that he no longer loved me and was leaving. I never thought I would be happy again, but I am living proof that you can come back stronger and happier from things like this. I know in the beginning, I pulled myself together for my kids, but I really feel that I stayed “together” for me.

  14. The fact that it is seriously hard to come up with something to write is illuminating the fact that I think I need to refocus my thoughts.

    Setting that aside, I’m extremely proud of my marriage and the way my husband and I conduct ourselves. I easily let things go and try to never take even the smallest things for granted.

  16. Even though I don’t practice law, and don’t really ever intend to practice: passing the bar.

    I’d failed it twice, and, being the over- achiever that I am, it broke me down pretty badly. I needed to finally kick that sucker’s ass just to prove that I could.

    And I did. And it felt great.

  17. I cleaned up at a poker game where most of the other players worked for the CIA. It was one of the first and only times playing poker and I won with a pair of fours. (I bluffed.)

  23. Truthfully, the thing I am most proud of is not really an accomplishment. It’s not a goal I set and then achieved (although, if you’re judging on a technicality, in 1997 I set the goal to pay off my credit card, and then I did. And then I went on a three week trip to South Africa. I’m proud of that!). But I am proud of myself for not kicking and/or killing my husbands crazy-mean cat when he attacked our son and sent him to the hospital for several days on increasingly strong antibiotics. I think that means I’ve finally become the person I aim to be. (FYI, the cat is long gone from our house now, in a child-free environment.)

  24. I’m having trouble coming up with something which probably says I’m way too hard on myself.

    I guess I’d say passing all of my professional exams while still in my 20s.

  29. The accomplishment I’m most proud of is my education – it was well worth the net sixteen years of hard work to get in and get out cum laude, and I hope to continue the trend in grad school soon.

  35. I should say finishing Grad school. Or getting married. But really, the thing I’m proudest of, is that I went all the way to India for 10 days by myself. Around the world all alone at 25- that’s my biggest accomplishment.

  37. My proudest accomplishment I would like to say is my roller derby playing, hula hoop performing, going to school to be a nurse midwife daughter. But really, she is in charge of her life, not me. All that she is is her doing.

    So, I would say being the teacher that I am. I am a great teacher and my students sense this. They also sense that I love them and want the best for them. That is MY accomplishment.

Proudest accomplishment: Of the day: getting out of the house on time(ish) Of the week: having a candid conversation with my boss that I have been dreading Of the month: organizing old pictures and sending copies to friends. Of the year: getting my son to Two! (and having a fantastic Robot party at the same time). Of all time: ?

  40. Becoming a “grown up”. I don’t know when or how it happened, but it did.

    That, and the fact that the plants in my office aren’t dead yet.

  45. I’m proud of the fact that I’m willing to say I’m not sure what I want to be when I grow up. I’m proud of myself, a generally type-a, semi-control freak, that I can enjoy the journey on the way to the destination. FINALLY.
