Most people who know me know that I smile a lot. I’m not exactly sure why this is, but a lot of it has to do with the way my parents brought me up and just being surrounded by the love of family and the love of God all my life.

So imagine my surprise when I found this item that summarizes everything in convenient paperweight form

It’d make a great gift for that person in your life who could use a reminder to just simplify things and enjoy life.

5% of the proceeds from this item goes to help New Urban Arts, an art studio for high school students and emerging artists.

This great item is from the good folks at Uncommon Goods. A co-worker of mine introduced me to this company when we were buying a baby gift for our boss, and now that she’s expecting , I’ll be going right back to them and getting something for her.

In addition to the proceeds of this gift, through their “Better to Give” program, you can donate an additional $1 of your order to one of four terrific non-profit organizations at the end of checkout.
