I have thought about this project for (literally) years, restarted it five times, tortured my printer with five million questions (thank you@Catprint), reprinted the test print twice, shared with a few close advisors (you know who you are!), and finally, FINALLY have something I am really proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I remember in the later years of my mom&#8217;s life she was always asking (no matter how bad my day was), &#8220;But what are you grateful for?&#8221; As someone seeking sympathy, I didn&#8217;t always appreciate this question. She was asking me to see the good in some really dark times. Times that sometimes the light was so darn dim. But as I have aged, I truly see the wisdom there, (thanks, Mama!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take that a step further, and I (after much research) have recognized that sometimes I have difficult moments, but that doesn&#8217;t mean I have a whole bad day or even a bad life. Science proves that positive thinking not only changes your outlook but also your experience. If nearly 95% of our thoughts are repetitive, I believe it is important to plant some good thoughts, and good seeds and encourage them to grow and bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, allow me to share my heart project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have created a deck of 52 affirmation cards. Each card has a piece of my art and a simple affirmation on it. If you choose to focus on this card, it will last one whole year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They have been created to empower you and help you to find your best self. They are part of self-care (which by the way is not a luxury, but essential) They are an attempt to help you fill your cup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The preview of these cards will be available in my studio (349 West Commercial Street, Suite #2795, studio #12) tomorrow night November 2nd, 2023 from 4-8 pm. I will have decks available, as well as a sample deck so you can see a fun preview!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I feel not only pride in this project, but also gratitude. I look forward to sharing with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#Affirmation #affirmationdeck #printlocal #rochesterny #empowerment #greetings4good #createart4good #susancarmenduffyart #catprinted<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#madewithlove #sharethelove #positivemind<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/greetings4good.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Affirmation-deck-reveal.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is time to share&#8230; Sometimes growing something takes a long time.
