The Story Behind the Intention Locket
The founder’s journey:
A practice born from the heart
I wouldn’t be so passionate about our Intention Lockets if I hadn’t experienced the power of intention myself. Let me explain.
I met Will at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2000. We were both there for work, and I had never met anyone so funny or charismatic. You could say he had me at hello.
Will and I married in 2002. Our son William was born in 2003, and Julia arrived in 2005. Life was awesome: two kids, two cats, a husband who made me belly laugh every night and the greatest group of friends.
I don’t know why bad shit happens, but it does.
Will was diagnosed with cancer in the fall of 2015. We lost him 17 months later. I was devastated—floating in a Universe I no longer believed had my back or my best interests at heart.
My saving grace was a book I had read a few years earlier at the recommendation of my friend Beckie. It was called “Three Simple Steps” by Trevor Blake. The book offered a step-by-step approach to creating the life of your dreams. At that point, what did I have to lose?
I dove in with everything I had. I read the book again. I took Trevor’s course, Transformation. And from there, I began learning what I needed to do to crawl out of the quicksand surrounding me.
The Discovery
I discovered that having a clear vision, an intention, for what you want is how you begin moving toward it. It gives the Universe specific instructions about what to send your way. It also keeps you alert to the people, possibilities and moments that may be leading you there.
And this part is important: we are talking about handwritten intentions.
Writing your intention by hand creates clarity, commitment and attention. And we all know: where attention goes, energy flows.
The Greenwich Jewelry Intention Locket takes something intangible, your intention, and gives it a physical form.
Wearing your intention close keeps it present. It helps you stay focused on where you’re going and recognize the small wins in your daily life that are moving you closer to your vision.
That is a very, very good thing.
So, where am I now?
I’m remarried to Ted, the kindest and gentlest of souls. I’m living out my sparkle dreams with Greenwich Jewelry. And I’ve created this collection of Intention Lockets as a way of paying forward what helped me find my way back to a beautiful life.
And yes, I have new intentions for the future.
Those I can’t tell you. Intentions are meant to be kept secret—between you, your heart and the Universe working to bring them to life.
But when your intention becomes your reality, I can’t wait to hear about it. We’ll high-five, celebrate together and recognize the magic of knowing exactly what you wanted—and watching it find its way to you. It will be fun. I promise.
