Things That Matter: What one Thing brings you joy, magic & meaning?

What photo or object would tell a bit of your life story? 

We KNOW that the best things in life aren’t things…. but Things have a way of holding memories of the people, places & experiences that make up the best things in our lives…. our cherished memories.

My friend, former editor-in-chief of Life magazine, Bill Shapiro & his partner Naomi Wax, traveled the country asking people a simple question “What Thing brings you joy, magic & meaning?”  Their beautiful book What We Keep (link) is a deeply moving representation of how objects can hold our most significant stories.

Look around your home, your office, your self…. Every Thing has a story… what Thing(s) tell yours?

Don’t focus on your “valuable” things…. Bill & Naomi found that no-one chose the Thing that brought them joy, magic & meaning held any monetary value. Bill & Naomi found “Our hearts are not accountants; we cling to the meaningful, not the monetary.”

Join me, founder Diana Dunbar, members of my 333 Collective community & YOU my extended community for an eve of story-sharing about the Thing that matters.

What we’ll do in our Zoom call (link) with Martie McNabb: 

Come with your one Thing to the call.  Martie will facilitate a story-sharing — asking questions like:

–  How did it come into your life?

–  Why do you keep it?

–  What can someone learn about you through the story of this “thing”?

–  What do you want to happen with this “thing” when you die?

Learn about the amazing 333 Collective community of passionate women 50+ & our first in-person gathering, Quest 2024, happening May 6th & 7th in Bristol, RI.
