Tony devotions

I love, love the mala beads that Tiny Devotions sent me a year ago. [AutoCorrect changed “‘mala’ to ‘male.'” I got a good laugh out of that.] I really think they bring me luck and good energy. I put the bracelets on when I’m having an “off” day and something about looking down to see them makes me feel better and turn things around. Whenever I need an extra boost or bit of good vibes, you can bet our booty I have my mala beads on. Each color cord has a different meaning, so you can choose to wear one or two, or the entire stack.

From their website:

“Our Tiny Devotions mala beads are perfect for beginnings and endings – goals, struggles, worries, dreams, intentions and prayers.

Mala beads transcend cultures and religions and can be found in some form in nearly every tradition around the world.

The word bead, historically coming from the word “prayer” or “to pray”.

These sacred and beautiful beads help us live in the moment – staying present to the beauty of life.

We combine rudraksha seeds with semi precious crystals and pearls to create beautiful designer malas that each have their own specific intention. Rudraksha seeds are known as the eyes or tears of Shiva – and are worn for their protective and sacred qualities.”

Tiny Devotions kindly offered to send a lucky reader the abundance stack of mala beads, valued at $108.

    Happy blog birthday Gina! I have been reading your blog for a couple of years and I look forward to it every day, so thank you for doing what you do! ๐Ÿ™‚ My goal for this summer is to do more yoga. I feel so good after I do it – it is just making myself do it that is hard. Happy summer!

    HI!!! I have set the goal for myself to figure out my “calling” I have been in a job that I can’t stand just to get by. I don’t want to waste anymore of my time, it’s too precious. I need some good vibes to get me on MY right path ๐Ÿ™‚ By the way I just love your blog!

  5. Megan S. on June 5, 2012 at 11:46 am

    One goal I have set for myself is to say more thankful/daily prayers for everything I have in my life, and to also keep up with my healthier eating and workout habits to lose some L-B’s by wedding time next year!

    One of my top goals is straight As this coming fall semester (18 credits!!). But my health goal is to take on a more gluten free diet.

  15. gina g on June 5, 2012 at 11:51 am

    Recently I was turned down for nursing school after literally working my booty off and doing very well, but I tryyy to believe all things happen for a reason. So a goal I have for myself right now is to stay positive and to keep my faith in God because I know He has got a plan for all of us!

    thanks for this opportunity Gina!

  17. jen on June 5, 2012 at 11:53 am

    My goal is to be more accepting and positive about my body- I quit smoking over a year ago and gained some weight, but I know that I am so much healthier now than I was as a smoker… even if I am a little rounder ๐Ÿ™‚

  18. Lisa on June 5, 2012 at 11:53 am

    One of my goals this year is to decide what I want to do with my future, I know I want to work with nutrition or fitness, but haven’t decided which one to go with. I want to take more classes and further my education so I pursue the right one.

  19. Amy on June 5, 2012 at 11:53 am

    My first ever triathlon!

  20. Kim Potts on June 5, 2012 at 11:53 am

  22. Becca on June 5, 2012 at 11:55 am

    my goal is a after this baby is born to work on my body. This is my 3rd kiddo and I have never really regained the control back, so that is my goal…. Husband gave me a pretty good incentive too…. Hawaii trip! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  23. Nicole M. on June 5, 2012 at 11:55 am

    My goal is to remember to live life to the fullest. I’ve been so busy going through the constant motions of school, work, gym that I forgot what it’s like to actually enjoy it all. Since this year of college is in it’s last week, I’m making big changes that will help get me there, like moving to Paris in a few months. My goal is to appreciate every moment I have left in California.

  24. Niki on June 5, 2012 at 11:56 am

    I’m signed up to run the Spartan Race in August, so I started a burpee challenge. When you run the race if you can’t do any obstacle you need to do 20-30 burpees instead so I want to be prepared!

  25. justine on June 5, 2012 at 11:57 am

    My goal is to try my hardest to stop worrying, angst-ing, panicking and whining. (Even though it feels like sometimes they are the only things holding me together!). I think this giveaway prize would be very therapeutic in enabling my goals…!
    Happy blog birthday, and thank you, Gina!

  26. Heather on June 5, 2012 at 11:57 am

    My goal is to cook more meals this summer – I’m 6mos preggo, and after slacking off in the home cooking dept in the 1st & 2nd trimesters (and leaving alot of the meal/cooking preparation to my lovely, supportive husband & Trader Joe’s — haha, they both really came through!), I’ve got my mojo/energy back and hope to maintain it as long as possible…plus now I can finally stomach chicken again! woo woo. Also, another huge goal that has to get done – get the baby’s room ready. eek.

  27. Maryz on June 5, 2012 at 11:57 am

    My summer goal is to swim more and enjoy being outside as much as possible.

  28. Rachael on June 5, 2012 at 11:59 am

  30. Angela @ Sleep and Repeat on June 5, 2012 at 12:00 pm

  36. Morgan Knecht on June 5, 2012 at 12:03 pm

    Hi Gina!! I have been religiously reading your blog for about a year, and look forward to it every day! My goal for this year is to finally embrace my body. After 3 children (9, 3, and 8 mos) I have finally come to realize that I have earned all of these additional “beauty marks” and as long as I am healthy, I don’t really need six pack abs and the ability to bounce a quarter off of my arse ๐Ÿ™‚ I plan to eat healthy, exercise daily (for my mental sanity) and live in the moment!! Thank you for being such an inspiration!

  37. Lindsay @ LindsayInNYC on June 5, 2012 at 12:03 pm

    My work goal is to get to maximum billing capacity (lawyer-speak) so we can start seriously talking family planning!! No pressure, right?! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  38. Jessica on June 5, 2012 at 12:03 pm

    My goal is lose some weight before a trip to the lake at the end of the month and a girls vaca to south caroline at the end of july. so far so good. ๐Ÿ™‚

  39. Kiah on June 5, 2012 at 12:04 pm

    Happy Birthday, Fitnessista! My personal goal is to have sick abs in 2012. Quite tangible, aye? ๐Ÿ˜‰

  40. Amanda @ For The Love of Everything on June 5, 2012 at 12:05 pm

    Fitness Goal – Run a half marathon
    Personal Goal – Make the most of everyday even when they are not the best. And try to smile as much as possible!

  41. Kiah on June 5, 2012 at 12:05 pm

    I tweeted!

  42. Kia on June 5, 2012 at 12:05 pm

    My goal is to run a sub 2:30 half-marathon which would be a HUGE PR.

  43. Katie on June 5, 2012 at 12:06 pm

    My goal is to run a PR in the half marathon this fall!

  44. Amy Ramos on June 5, 2012 at 12:07 pm

    My goal is to save up enough money so we can go to Scotland. My husband has never met the extended side of my family.

  45. Stephanie @ Legally Blinde on June 5, 2012 at 12:07 pm

    I really like the idea of wearing these beads when you’re having an off day! A goal I set for myself recently is doing a short 4-minute morning workout as soon as I get out of bed (push-ups, plank, headstand, etc.). I want to do it for at least 3 weeks and see how it goes. 4 days down, 17 days to go ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks for another great giveaway!

  46. Jenna U. on June 5, 2012 at 12:07 pm

    A goal of mine is to get 8 hours of sleep a night! I always feel so much better after a good nights sleep, so I really need to make a commitment to stick to it! =)

  47. Julia on June 5, 2012 at 12:08 pm

    Happy Birthday to your blog – I am a huge fan! My goal is to run a 10 km race at a good pace, by the end of August.
