Frequently Asked Questions

How much of a donation should I send?

Suggested donation is $8-$88 and please keep in mind your own personal budget - nobody will be turned away due to the size of their donation. Please take into account shipping cost when evaluating what you donate (example: 2 decks of cards mailed within the USA costs approximately $3.50).

Who created this deck of cards?

Whitney, Serena, and MJ met at Esalen, the birthplace of the Human Potential Movement & whose founders were inspired early on by Abraham Maslow’s psychology of higher health and peak experiences. After working, playing, and engaging in Gestalt-based personal process together we decided to collaborate on creating this deck together as part of a bigger conversation about the lack of accessibility of non-crisis based health & wellness resources for those earning a limited income. Thank you to Serena for lending her design skills, and MJ for her artistry.

What does the money go towards?

Donations above the cost of printing & mailing will be put towards:

reimbursing MJ & Serena for their time and talents
creating new decks (we have one all about cultivating a more playful heart in the works!)
covering the cost of sharing single cards & decks free of charge to individuals in need of life-affirming words

What are Affirmations?

"An affirmation is really anything you say or think. A lot of what we normally say and think is quite negative and doesn’t create good experiences for us. We have to retrain our thinking and speaking into positive patterns if we want to change our lives. An affirmation opens the door. It’s a beginning point on the path to change. In essence, you’re saying to your subconscious mind: “I am taking responsibility. I am aware that there is something I can do to change.” When I talk about doing affirmations, I mean consciously choosing words that will either help eliminate something from your life or help create something new in your life.

Every thought you think and every word you speak is an affirmation. All of our self-talk, our internal dialogue, is a stream of affirmations. You’re using affirmations every moment whether you know it or not. You’re affirming and creating your life experiences with every word and thought."
