I have purchased several of your blessing bracelets after receiving the first one from my bff in Arizona. Each morning I touch a pearl and thank God for some gift- health, friends, family or whatever blessing I am grateful for that day. I deeply believe in abundance and gratitude and that we need to share our abundance with others. So...when I meet someone who is a blessing to me (the last time was only a few weeks ago-our tour guide in Portugal) I thank them in detail and ask them to receive my gift. I take off my bracelet (which is loaded with my energy) and give it to them. I then immediately order another bracelet for me (or the next receiver). I have also given these lovely bracelets as gifts to girlfriends with the reminder of how much they bless my life. I love your bracelets and will continue to share my blessings with others!

Dawn, You are an inspiration. Several months ago, I ordered a Blessing Bracelet from MAI and received an additional one by mistake...without having paid for it. I called the number on the website and you answered the phone and we talked for quite awhile. You said that your receptionist had stepped out and, therefore, you answered the phone even though it is not the norm for you to do so. I explained the situation and you kindly asked me to "pay it forward" instead of returning the bracelet...which I definitely did. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. I am currently feeling in a "stuck' situation and reading about MAI and how it was formed is very encouraging. I very much believe in karma, the universe, life energy, spirituality, angels, God, etc., so what you have had to say rings very true to me. Thank you. I will continue to give the Blessing Bracelets as wonderful and very meaningful gifts. I just gave one to a beautiful woman who recently turned 40. I appreciate you, your philosophy, your company, your honesty and your craft. Thank you so much for being you.

Dawn, Thank you for your email. I often glance at emails from merchants and assume the messages are sales related pitches which I don't want to spend time reading. Delete. Your email was worth every minute, every word. I started crying at 'it is not what we have but who we are that counts'. I share the same conviction that our struggles AND our triumphs make us better people for the world we live in. Tomorrow is my wedding anniversary (I married later in my life and I've only been married a few years) and it always makes me reflect on my many, many blessings. My life's blessings are beyond measure and I truly believe the best way to express my gratitude is to share it with others. Thank you for sharing your gratitude. Thank you for sharing your story which touched me deeply. Blessing bracelets are much more than gorgeous jewelry. I enjoy wearing my bracelets, telling people about my bracelets and giving them as gifts to others. Keep doing what you do, you are making the world a better place!! ~ The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away. Thank You

Hello, I am truly motivated to be a better person, I have been listening to "The grateful life" and your story was featured in it, I listen to the cd's everyday in hopes of being a more grateful and appreciative person and mother to my girls. I went through a divorce, have financial issues and some depression. I have noticed that when I act upon this grateful practice that good things happen to me and people notice that I have changed. I would like to purchase bracelets for myself and daughters but cannot afford right now, I love your website and your purpose. Thank You

I just wanted you to know that the most amazing thing about the bracelet you created is the stories. I wore several of my bracelets to lunch with girlfriends the other day. Several of us had them on as we have given them to each other over the years. I try collect a new one each season. Well anyhow a woman at a nearby table actually came over to comment on the fact that we had on “blessing bracelets”, and then she showed us her wrist and bracelets. This of course came with a story of how her best friend gave her one for her birthday and how she has given one to her daughter. She also commented that she wears it everyday and she believe that by being more grateful she has more to be grateful for. It is so nice to see that we can talk and reach out to each other, that we understand the special nature of giving and of gratitude. I know that when this bracelet started you had no idea the affect it would have on so many others, I for one am grateful. Thank you.

I received my order of Blessing Bracelets in the mail today and wanted to let you know how beautiful they are. After opening the package my daughters and I each picked the bracelet we wanted wanted which that left one bracelet to be given away to someone special. The next day we had a visit from an old friend who shared some sad news with us. Her son, who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness a year earlier, had taken a turn for the worse. Nurses and doctors were taking his level of care up a notch and to make matters worse an administrator had to talk to the family about a DNR order. After hearing this news I glanced over to our front counter and remembered that there was one Blessing Bracelet still in the package waiting to be given away. I reached over and told her that I could think of no one else that I would rather give the bracelet to. I read the message on the tag and it was if a vail had been lifted from her. A smile returned to her face, if only for a few moments. Thanks again for the wonderful Blessing Bracelets. I will definitely be ordering again.

The Blessing Bracelet is one of my favorite gifts to give... and thought you may enjoy reading how your intention to spread gratitude worldwide is manifesting. This is an email my friend Monica sent today... her birthday is Sunday and we gave her the Blessing Bracelet. Gratitude --- it's contagious --- pass it along! Wore my beautiful Blessing Bracelet last night, which immediately got me into a thinking gratitude mode. I so love the syle and Meaning of the bracelet. The main thing I was so grateful for was my life, that at almost 62 years of age I am healthy and interested in serving, growing, loving, forgiving and learning. I was so grateful for the beautiful Sunset that God painted for us last night. It was one of the most beautiful ones I can remember. Everyone was awestruck by it... I am also grateful for the beautiful yellow trees that are in bloom all over Miami. I point them out to everyone, they lighten and beautify every neighborhood they are in. In areas such as Liberty City, it is a constant reminder that God is here, painting, beautifying and loving.
