One lucky item I have would be my Luck Potion necklace Sky sent me! I wear it all the time and I can assure you it brings luck on those days! I also have a young cousin who saw it the first time I wore it and was overly fascinated with it.

[Emily Spencer]

One lucky charm I have is my Merlin necklace, given to me many years ago by my mother. She knows I love all things Arthurian, so this was quite fitting. Whenever I have to give a class or make a presentation, I am sure to wear this to give me luck and a sense of confidence.
