Dear Jen,

Thank you. I don’t take your request lightly. I’m almost finished working out the production process for offering the hard copy version of the prompts that have already been published here, and I’ve started collection prompts for another batch. Once I’ve got a bunch more written (received is more like it, really), I’ll consider posting them daily again. Thanks for your patience and for letting me know you miss them.

I love my angel cards -clients and friends do too. I have them two ways, at home in a bowl and for clients in a bag. That way you can shuffle and pick regardless of the size. It makes a nice presentation too.
I would love to have the prompts in cards –
Great idea!

Jenna and Jo, I hadn’t thought of the size making them difficult to shuffle (another example of buddies being key to success, in my world). I’ll think about this.

Before I even started posting the prompts, I printed up a business-card-sized set of the first 100 prompts and cut them by hand. I keep them in a box that allows them to stand up (sideways) and I flip through them without looking at them and randomly pick one when I want a prompt. I can “shuffle” them within the box by picking up some and re-instering them to a different place or by taking them all out and shuffling, which seems to work fine.

The stiff little lidded kraft paper boxes I’ve found to contain the business-card-sized deck has worked for me. Nevertheless, I’ll muse upon your suggestions about size and use options.

Great feedback on this idea. Thank you.

OOOOOOooooooooo Jenna’s Angel Cards — never thought of housing my Goddess cards as she does her Angel cards in a bowl — GREAT idea Jenna! Thanks!

Grace, this is a truly fantastic idea and I think a brilliant use of your brilliance.

About Jo’s comment: I have a little deck (truly little) of “The Original Angel Cards” with tiny illustrations. There are 72 of them and they are 3/4″ by 2-1/4″ inches. I keep them in a beautiful bowl and draw one by swirling the cards around with my hand when I want to pick one.

Hugs.

Great idea!

One could shuffle the deck, then “randomly” draw a prompt which to my way of thinking wouldn’t be random at all, but the *exact* prompt one needs at that moment.

My only technical thought: my Goddess cards are 2.4″x3″ with 50 in the pack. I think they’re too small for easy shuffling and handling. OTOH, a pack of 101 that size or larger might be even more difficult to shuffle in any form. I have to think about this . . . to be continued . . .
