Dear Cheryl
Your affirmation cards are just wonderful - beautiful, powerful, inspiring. I recently downloaded the screensaver - and just now, feeling lost and a little low wandered over to the computer, and saw these sweet, bold messages and tender, magnificent drawings. You are an amazing artist and courage and beauty shine through your cards.
--Linda Loughran

"Dear Cheryl,
I just wanted to tell you that I really love your cards. Thank you for providing such a creative way to share these beautiful valuable messages. I love them so much I plan on keeping them like-new so I can share them with my own daughter."
--Jean Flaherty

I have to share a secret. I am a counselor and a big part of my job is cheerleading. So, the secret confession is this-a small part of me thinks that affirmations are cheesy.
Despite my conflicted feelings about affirmations, I really did enjoy Cheryl Rainfield’s affirmation card deck. While most cards I have seen in the past tend to have only words or ethereal pictures, these cards are hand-drawn and display pictures of real-looking women-old, thin, fat, multi-ethnic and female. These cards are two sided, with one side’s affirmation in the first person, the other in the third person; i.e., "I am__," "You are_." I instantly thought of how some people would have a hard time immediately using the first person and so could "graduate" into it, if they liked. Reading the deck or just picking cards randomly made me feel, well, affirmed. I conducted a small non-scientific survey among acquaintances, and they unanimously agreed that these cards felt "different," than the usual ones, and they almost all had small, self-satisfied smiles on their faces after viewing them.

Thank you so much for the beautiful affirmation cards. I love them. I carry them in my purse every day, and show them at work, too.

Cheryl Rainfield’s Love Yourself cards give me permission to love myself as I am. When I forget my affirmation, I simply pull the card from my pocket to remind myself: Hello! I am loveable! Love Yourself Cards are an endless source and supply of love, encouragement and support for all women: regardless of size, shape, race or age.
Cheryl’s cards are a brilliant invention; a support system for the feminine soul. For the small cost of these tiny wonders, women can gain endless insight into the power of their own being.

I love these cards. I use the deck by having clients pick a card and keep it--and the ones they pick always seem to resonate. Another way I enjoy the cards is by reading the whole deck; it makes me feel like I just meditated. The little drawings are peaceful and lovely; my particular favorite is "You allow yourself to take up space." This is something that abuse survivors need to acknowledge all the time.

Cheryl's cards radiate warmth and kindness, encouraging us to love and care for ourselves. I think that's something each of us can benefit from, no matter where we are in the course of our lives. One way I like to use affirmation cards is to draw one at random for the day and keep it with me, re-reading it 3-5 times throughout the day and having faith that I chose that particular card on that particular day for a reason.

"Artistically-created, user-friendly, psychologically sound, Cheryl's cards provide a gentle, tangible way for a female abuse survivor to rewrite the negative scripts implanted in her mind by the perpetrator(s) -- 54 positive self-scripts to help heal the wounded soul."

"The artwork of Love Yourself cards is inspired and completely captures the aim of each affirmation, giving a feeling of peace, love and hope to each one. The fact that the cards are double sided, takes the user through the whole process of change that this positive thinking can achieve, which is important for people who have suffered damage to be able to understand. My opinion of this product is that an enormous amount of thought, skill, love and a deep understanding of the processes necessary for a survivor of abuse to move through have been put into them. I would highly recommend them to anyone."

The thing that is especially nice about these cards is the way they are packaged - like a deck of cards. It is sometimes hard to know what to do with affirmations, but these can be easily displayed, stored and toted. The quality is also excellent - colorful, glossy cards that will hold up well.
