Mini Meditation Cards By Sweetlove

I attend a Caregivers Retreat each year. Last year I brought in my meditation booklets which were wildly popular. Each one takes me a good two to three weeks to assemble. So, I tried to come up with a 'mini' idea that wouldn't be as 'involved' as the booklets.

After weeks of trial and error, I came up with Mini Meditation Cards. First, there is a topic, such as Joy; then there is a passage explaining joy in our lives; open the card and there is an appropriate quotation on joy and a serene photograph to meditate on. (The majority of the cards have been designed for caregivers).

The cards are in different colors and there are five cards for each topic, some with different pictures or quotes. People who have seen the cards are amazed and tell me they have never seen cards like these!

For the retreat next month I have put together 60 cards...and hope I have made enough. The only 'problem' with my cards is that they are 8.5x 5.5 and I do not have envelopes in that size. But I can probably use inexpensive clasp envelopes.

And Sweetlove is my card id and it refers to the meaning of my last name!
