My favorite accessory is a chain that has three charms on it.

The first charm is a half of a heart that has part of the inscription "the Lord bless you and keep you", this is special because it was given to me by my sister when she moved away to Alabama.

The next charm is a cross, also given to me by my sister for my 40th birthday.

Finally, the last charm is a lion.  When I was 20 years old a youth pastor I was working with had a vision of me as a lion and he gave me the verse from Proverbs which states, "The righteous are as bold as a lion."  Because I have always been a rather shy quiet person, wearing the lion is a reminder to be bold in my faith.

These three charms are constant reminders that I am loved by my family, that I am loved by my God and that I can be bold and not so shy.
