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.

    My goal is to parent my two year old with patience. I have found that the more I remind myself the better I am!

  2. Diana on June 5, 2012 at 1:55 pm

    My goal is to fit into my Lululemon pants (bought small for this particular reason) by August. Here’s hoping I can lost around 15lbs by the end of Summer/early Fall. ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. Emily on June 5, 2012 at 2:01 pm

    my goal is to get in the habit of working out… I’m much more of a foodista than a fittnesista and I have trouble sticking to a routine…. I’ll go a few weeks being really into working out and then there will be a whole month of me just barely doing anything! I’m committing the month of June to this

  10. Amanda A. on June 5, 2012 at 2:01 pm

    My goal is to complete a biathlon in September. I need to get training!

  11. Vicki Mc on June 5, 2012 at 2:03 pm

    1. to complete Marathon training to be ready for my first full in October.
    2. start a Girls on the Run council in my area
    3. learn to say no! I volunteer to do way too many things

  12. Melissa on June 5, 2012 at 2:05 pm

    My goal right now is to get into handstand in my yoga practice! I still have a fear of inversions, but I’m getting closer! ๐Ÿ™‚

  13. Anna on June 5, 2012 at 2:08 pm

    My goal is to leave stress behind and focus on the positives!

  14. Mackenzie on June 5, 2012 at 2:08 pm

  15. Donna on June 5, 2012 at 2:09 pm

    My husband is deploying again soon and my goal for the next 8+ months is to lose 30 pounds, get back into running (I have missed it), and do my best in my college classes. ๐Ÿ™‚

  16. Heather from NC on June 5, 2012 at 2:09 pm

  18. Catherine on June 5, 2012 at 2:11 pm

    I don’t tweet, but I think this is an awesome giveaway!!!! My simple goal; be happy.

  19. Janice on June 5, 2012 at 2:13 pm

    My goal is to switch my goals from end point goals to action goals, i.e. bad goal “I’ll lose x # of pounds by some future date” good goal “I’ll be active at least six days a week”. So I guess my goal is to change my thinking about goals! ๐Ÿ™‚

  20. Morgan J on June 5, 2012 at 2:14 pm

    I’ve signed up for a full marathon this year so that’s a goal for sure! I’m also trying to get in the habit of waking up and hittin the gym immediately to get it out of the way!

  21. Alexis on June 5, 2012 at 2:15 pm

    My goal is keeping a positive attitude during my husband’s 12 month deployment. It’s easy to have a negative attitude towards this stuff (bc it sucks!) but I know that if I spend a year of my life moping and miserable and pissed off about it, that’s just a year of my life wasted. So far I’ve signed up for and completed a half marathon, dove into work and am seeing the payoff there, taken this opportunity to form better friendships with people here (I’m farrrrrrrrrr from home), and, unfortunately, have cut out some people who are too negative about the deployment and were bringing me down too much (I’m sure you know those people, who post daily about how sad they are and how this is the worst year ever, and who post links to articles every time there is an incident over there).

  22. Jessica @ Busy Living Healthy on June 5, 2012 at 2:15 pm

    One of my goals is to make an A in my summer Organic Chemistry II course! It’ll be difficult, but I know it will be worth it in the end! ๐Ÿ™‚

  23. Cait @ Beyond Bananas on June 5, 2012 at 2:16 pm

    I have a goal of staying hydrated…I’ve been pretty dehydrated lately even though I drink a ton of water. Now I am concentrating on making sure I have enough salt – and drinking things with electrolytes too. This lightheadedness stuff has got to stop!

  24. Michelle on June 5, 2012 at 2:16 pm

    My fitness goal is to run a marathon befoer the end of the year!

  25. Nellie on June 5, 2012 at 2:17 pm

    My goal is to get at least 8 hours of sleep every night!

  26. Jennifer on June 5, 2012 at 2:17 pm

    My goal is to eat healthier and losing weight would just be an added bonus. ๐Ÿ™‚

  27. Amelia Heuchert on June 5, 2012 at 2:17 pm

    My goal is to complete a 10 K race by the end of August! My tweet link is:

  28. Erica B on June 5, 2012 at 2:18 pm

    After running my first race last year, my goal is to run a half marathon this fall. Running is my way to relax and practice weight management. It has been hard getting back into the swing of things post Canadian winter and these would be a great reminder to not only push myself but to take time for myself too ๐Ÿ™‚

  29. Beth on June 5, 2012 at 2:18 pm

    My goal is to focus more on how exercise makes me feel, rather than the physical effects, like looking good in a bikini. Sometimes it’s easier to get out of bed in the morning when I remind myself how much more energy I’ll have and how proud of myself for getting to the gym.

    Other goal – participate in the summer shape-up each week! Can’t wait!

  30. Cathy on June 5, 2012 at 2:20 pm

    My goal is to loose the last 10 lbs I to reach my goal by the end of 2012, and to run a 5k in 2013.

  31. Kristen on June 5, 2012 at 2:22 pm

    My goal is to make time for at least 30 minutes of yoga/stretching 3 times a week!

  32. Julie on June 5, 2012 at 2:23 pm

    My goal is to focus on my strengths rather than my weaknesses. I tend to break myself down easily and then the day is a wash.

  33. Peggy on June 5, 2012 at 2:25 pm

    I have set a goal to run a 50k by the end of the summer!

  34. Angela on June 5, 2012 at 2:26 pm

    To lose 30 pounds total to maybe make getting pregnant easier. Iโ€™ve already lost 10! ๐Ÿ™‚

  35. Maggie on June 5, 2012 at 2:26 pm

    my goal is to live in the present and not be soo solely focused on the future at all times

  36. Kelly on June 5, 2012 at 2:29 pm

    My goal is to run a full marathon before I turn 40 next September! The furthest I have done at this point is a 1/2!

  37. Ericka Lancaster on June 5, 2012 at 2:29 pm

    Hi, Gina! My goal is to successfully transition into my second career and graduate as a Registered Dietitian. I graduated with a Bachelorโ€™s degree in business four years ago and after a TON of soul searching, I decided to quit my job and go for my passion. It’s been a wonderful and tough beginning and I most definitely identify with needing some good vibes on a tough day and friendly reminder that my goal is just as much about the journey as the end result!

  38. Lauren W. on June 5, 2012 at 2:30 pm

    After a rough last couple of months, my goal is enter my 30th year happy and healthy and to make more decisions based on what I want instead of what others expect.
    HOLLA FOR MY MALA! (sh*t yogis say…never gets old)

  39. Ann on June 5, 2012 at 2:35 pm

    At the beginning of the year, I have changed to a clean diet, and new exercise program. I already taught body pump and ran, but this program completely changed my body . I lost about 12 pounds (I was not overweight in the least), but saw the lean muscle that I have been working hard to obtain. My online coach and friends have encouraged me to do a figure competition this August. I am very self conscious and barely wear a bikini on the beach, but I am going for it!! I am entering a Fitness America Pageant in August, bikini division. And I am 45 years old to boot!!! YAY me!!

  40. Jen Correa @ Mom's Gotta Run on June 5, 2012 at 2:36 pm

    My goal is to become a personal trainer. I’m on Chapter 8 now. ๐Ÿ™‚

  41. Beth @ Dancing Shoes on June 5, 2012 at 2:36 pm

    My goal is to become a certified personal trainer by the end of the summer!

  42. Emily on June 5, 2012 at 2:36 pm

    I want to finish insanity this summer! It’s going to hurt but I’m DOING IT!

  43. Nicole on June 5, 2012 at 2:36 pm

    My goal is to eat ice cream every day for 2012. Kidding, kidding. But really that would be glorious! I am aiming to run my first 10k in August!

  44. Pam on June 5, 2012 at 2:40 pm

    My goal is to be more kind.

  45. Carrie on June 5, 2012 at 2:41 pm

    My goal is to make more time for yoga every week. I am aiming for 4-5 times per week!

  46. Minerva on June 5, 2012 at 2:42 pm

    My goal is to treat my body with kindness and acceptance.

  47. Stephanie on June 5, 2012 at 2:42 pm

    My goal is to just be healthier overall – more meal planning, more working out, and more yoga.

  48. Abby on June 5, 2012 at 2:42 pm

    My goal is to meet the smoothie a day for the month of June since I passed on May. ๐Ÿ™‚

  49. Katie on June 5, 2012 at 2:43 pm

    My goal is maintain a good balance in my life in all things, health, family, friends, work, law school. Being a full time worker and going to lawschool at night makes this incredibly difficult, but worth the effort!
