(7) Share your joy with these lovable Joy Earrings ($7) by Artist Lori Sowers. These joyful charms are made of pewter and dangle from silver colored earring wire.
(8) Artist Lucy Ingels inspires us to live an authentic life with Integrity and Honesty. Lucy’s wonderful original mixed media artwork is created with such carefully planned details and comes matted, framed, and ready to hang.
(9) Ahhhh, this Scatter Joy Necklace says so much to me. Scatter joy like you would scatter seeds in a beloved garden, knowing that in time your joy will spread and grow within others. Artist Liv Lane’s pendants hang from an 18″ silver nickel-free chain and arrive carefully packaged in an elegant black organza bag, ready for gifting.
(10) So cute! I can see this Be Nice Artwork (sold out) hanging in a child’s playroom. What a fun way of reminding little ones of the importance of being kind to others.
(11) This original artwork by Artist Jan Avellana is a charming reminder to Be Brave at any age. Being brave in spirit seems to become harder to do as we grow older. I hope this moving print reminds you of the courageous self you once were.
(12) Artist Kristin Love designs her clay art using stamps, colored stains, and glazes. This House of Hope Clay Art has so many delicate details. What a delightful way to remind you of your capacity to hope! This artwork is stamped with vintage textile blocks from India, as well as Antique Letterpress Stamps.
(13) This sweet A Little Bird Told Me Print features the saying “It’s not happy people who are thankful, it’s thankful people who are happy.” This 8×8 print by Artist Kelly Cook is such a lovely expression of happiness.
(14) This original art print with the inspirational words “Write It On Your Heart That Every Day is the Best Day of the Year” quoted by Ralph Waldo Emerson is a modern reminder to be thankful and appreciate each day. This Inspirational Print by artists of the Happy Landings studio in Kansas is printed on archive quality paper with a matte finish. (Frame and white matting not included.)
(15) This I Am Enough Print makes me smile. What a touching reminder to live your life courageously and with authenticity because you ARE enough. This delightful piece of artwork is made by artists at 3 Wishes Creations.

You spoke to my heart in so many ways here. Numbers 11 and 12 stand out. I am privileged to be the mother of the bravest girl who ever lived. She taught me so much about human spirit, attitude and bravery. She endured three brain surgeries, meningitis, daily injections, radiation therapy, seizures, steroids and ultimately death.
She didn’t endure these things with a fight. She looked them square in the eye and said “Bring it”. When I told her the cancer had returned, I was crying and I asked if she still wanted to go to the party we’d planned on going to that night or if she’d rather just stay home. She said if we stayed home, we’d just cry and feel badly so we should go out and have fun. Her attitude of bravery is one of the things I envy about her.
As she was dying, she wrap her arms around me as I cried telling me “don’t worry mommy, it’ll be okay. Just breathe in the light and blow out the darkness”.
Number 12 stands out to me because I used to have a sign about hope in our house. I always said we could keep on keeping on as long as we had hope. When Olivia died, I threw the sign away. I was angry at hope. It’d left me.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence (as I’m writing I’m seeing this) that it’s numbers 11 and 12 that stand out. Olivia was eleven when she passed – 21 days shy of 12. She passed in the 11th month. She was born in the 12th month. 11 & 12 always bring Olivia to mind.
What a special girl….
Olivia Grace
12/9/92 – 11/18/04
Also, I pinned number eleven.
Dear Wendy:
I am greatly touched by your story. I can’t imagine all of the pain you have gone through. But so thankful that you were able to share it with me and others on my site. Olivia sounds like a wonderful person, a strong and brave girl. I bet she touched more people in the almost 12 years she was alive than most do in a lifetime. Sending you and your family hugs, love, and peace.

Thee are such beautiful pieces of art, and the sentiments behind them are even better. I think the Joy earrings are my favorite. I’m all about cutting through the clutter 🙂 and getting to what matters! (stopping in from LOBS)

I absolutely love these 6 mottos and I picked the same three as you. I strive to Be Courageous for my boys in my daily battle with chronic illness. I strive to Be Authentic in my personal and blogging life. What you see is what you get. I am me and it is good enough. I strive to Be Thankful, God has blessed us abundantly despite the trials and tribulations we face. There are so many suffering worse fates.
I am so glad you shared this with my Small Victories sunday linky. I am pinning and sharing. BTW, i absolutely love #13 and #14, they are my favorites!
Hi Tanya:
So glad you stopped by! How fun to know that you and I picked the same mottos! Looking forward to seeing what you do next on your website!

I’ve been working on having a motto each morning. More often than not my motto seems to be, “Keep on Truckin’.”
Maybe two more will make me feel better! <3
Hello Farah:
Thank you for stopping by and for taking the time to comment! I like your motto! My theme song this past year was Carry On by FUN. Sounds like we are on the same page.
