Daily
Inspirations and Reminders Now Available In Colorful 24-Card
Deck
By Linda Wiggen Kraft
One day when I was making art, the word “pause”
popped into my head urging me to do something with it. I
painted it in watercolor. It looked ok, but not right. Then
the idea came to superimpose the word onto one of my flower
mandala photographs. Perfect. More words spilled into my
brain like “breathe”, “dare”, “celebrate”,
“find center”, “enjoy”, “fear
less”, “heal” and “hope”.
Each word clamored for attention and expression as if it
wanted to be visible so its energy could become part of
people’s daily lives. I worked with my photos of the
circular mandala shaped centers of flowers. They spoke their
own language of inspiration, but became even more beautiful
with the added power of words that spoke of inner feelings
and actions.
I created greeting cards and prints, even fine art large
prints. People sent cards to friends and family, and kept
some for themselves. Prints appeared in homes, offices,
massage rooms, yoga studios and medical facilities. I created
a poster of twenty four flower photos and words. Teachers
bought them for their classrooms, others for homes and offices.
Recently I took a poster and cut it up into twenty four
small 3x3 inch cards to create a deck of individual images
that could be used as daily reminders of what is important
to feel or do. The cards are shuffled and one randomly chosen
to be a reminder of something important for the day. Of
course the chosen card isn’t random, it connects with
inner higher self to reveal a simple thought that is important
for the day or situation. One day it might be “celebrate”,
another “fear less”, “dare” or “enjoy”.
The cards are small enough to be displayed at a desk, windowsill
or alter so they can be glanced at throughout the day.
The twenty four card deck is now for sale, the response
has been extremely positive. People love them for themselves,
but also as gifts for all generations. They allow anyone
to connect with their inner guidance in a beautiful and
easy way.
Kim Schneider, a local healer has a set. Here is her response:
“I am a licensed professional counselor and Abundance
Coach. I find that Linda's lovely cards are a perfect focus
point for my day or to use as an uplifting and simple exercise
to use with clients or groups. The simple yet powerful messages,
combined with the beautiful color of the flowers, make them
easy to use and a joy to behold. It seems that Linda has
even captured the healing essence of the flowers in her
photography. I highly recommend this lovely deck!
