Every set comes in four options, there are three themes to choose from: floral and blossom; greens of nature; water and sky. Or you can have a little of each, with the fourth containing two cards from each theme. The instructions are simple, but below you will find a step-by-step image and word tutorial.
Note: you will require access to a printer (preferably colour), scissors and glue. If you wish to make these lovely cards last a little longer, you may choose to laminate them and keep a set around the house, in the car, or on your person.
Step 1.
Print your chosen pages.
Step 2.
Trim the business cards along the dotted lines, making certain not to cut the centre folding line.
Keep the, ‘Suggestions for your cards’, bullet points, to inspire you once they are complete.
Step 3.
Fold and glue the backs of the cards together.
Note: If you plan on laminating, you might not feel the need to glue first.
Step 4.
You will now have a full set to use as you wish (see the suggestions below).
Step 5.
Laminate your card collections to ensure they stand the test of time, as well as weather.
Laminating tips: Buy a laminating guard or pouch to avoid these tiny cards getting stuck in your machine. Also, business card sized laminating pouches mean less cutting and more time to do something else for yourself.
Every travelling love collection has been transformed into peaceful, virtual contemplations, short videos (mp4) that encourage a connection with oneness, be that with The Self, The Other, or The Unknown (be that with your insides, your mirrors, or The Divine). You can find the videos on YouTube and social media, but you may also bundle purchase the collections for £1 each and share the love for yourself. There is no limit on who you can send the videos to or how many times, once you buy them, the love is yours to share with the world…
Suggestions for your cards:
- Read one or two each morning, or throughout the day… small reminders can support the changes that you may be seeking. Insignificant a small act is not, and it is the many placed in a row that amount to a new day.
- Prepare a whole bunch to keep on your person, be that in your wallet, bag or car. They may come in handy, for you or another human being. Let this love travel and spread…
- Send a set to that friend you know is struggling to stay upright.
- Hand them out to the homeless, those suffering with acute mental health crisis or other vulnerable people.
- Leave them on the train for another person to find (place your faith in the right human being finding them).
- Place a few in places you know people in need may visit – the doctor’s surgery or the local mental health charity. Perhaps place a handout or two in the local health care centre and encourage those behind the desk to hand them out as they feel inclined. A local secondary school may just find these cards support their students.
- Gift them to your neighbour’s teenage child whose life seems to be becoming a little complicated and dark.
- If you see a person struggle – ACT! Any small act is enough, but letting a person be seen can be way more than enough at certain times in life. Invisible pain needs seeing, if it is to become the focus of healing.
TRAVELLING LOVE is the CONCEPT, but a concept which requires your patience, preparation and kindness intended. Laminating the cards makes longevity possible and greener practices also present a real love of the natural world and thanks for her offerings, which came to make the printing of these cards possible. Plus, laminated cards are more likely to last and aid more people as they get passed around.
Please feel free to keep the cards for as long as you feel inclined to do so, forever even, if they hold you up on a darker day; but always know that passing love and light around the earth creates the changes that humanity craves.
