My Journey to Memor

13 years ago I was a heroin addict.

I was living in a drug house in Arizona. My life was in shambles. My dad dropped everything and tried to save my life time after time, but I couldn't shake the chains of addiction.

I was living in hell. I used drugs to live and lived to use drugs.

Finally, I hit my rock bottom and called my dad one final time.

He drove to Mesa, AZ, from Southern Utah and knocked on the door of the drug house and pulled me out. We sat in a Waffle House parking lot and he asked me, "Ashly if I take you to rehab are you going to stay, or will you run away?"

In that moment I knew I didn't have the physical or mental capacity to continue on with my life the way I had been living.

I put my seatbelt on and said let's go.

The Pink Bible

I went to the Salvation Army Rehabilitation Center in Fresno, CA.

It was here that I was reintroduced to Christ.

The pastor brought me into his office and said "choose a bible to use while you are here." I chose a random pink bible on his shelf and opened it up.

Inside was a Book of Mormon bookmark.

In that moment I knew the Lord was aware of me.

A family friend emailed me and told me that if I read the Book of Mormon every day, he promised I would never go back to my old ways.

I took that challenge.

I've read the Book of Mormon every day since, and it's been 12.5 years since I last used drugs.

Transformed by His Love

My life has been transformed because of the Savior's atoning sacrifice.

My heart has been softened.

What I've experienced is nothing short of a miracle.

And I have committed to sharing my testimony of Jesus Christ.

Why Memor

Through my journey, I've learned that we need physical anchors for our spiritual commitments.

That pink bible. The bookmark that appeared exactly when I needed it. The daily practice of reading scripture. These tangible things kept me tethered to Christ when everything in me wanted to drift away.

My goal with Memor is to help as many people as I can have a physical reminder of His presence and peace.

Just as that bookmark reminded me that God knew exactly where I was in my darkest moment, I want every piece of Memor jewelry to whisper to someone: You are seen. You are loved. He is with you.

This isn't just jewelry to me. It's a lifeline. It's a declaration. It's a way to carry His love with you always.

Because I know what it's like to be lost. And I know what it's like to be found.

Christ lives.

He loves you.

He's here with us. 🤍

From Addiction to Mission

Today, I'm a mother of three, a wife, and the host of the Come Back Podcast, where I share stories of people who have returned to faith after walking away. I co-founded a software company in the addiction recovery space because I believe in the power of coming back.

Memor is the physical expression of everything I've learned: that small, daily reminders can anchor us to eternal truths.

Every piece we create is designed with intention:

• To remind you that you're never too far gone
• To anchor you when life feels overwhelming
• To declare that you're proud of your faith
• To start conversations that could change someone's life

Whether you're in your own Waffle House parking lot moment, or you're years into your journey of faith, these pieces are designed to meet you where you are and remind you Whose you are.

Welcome to Memor.
