Hi! I’m Eva Marie, the creator behind the Weekly Gratitude Cards. This project began as a heartfelt holiday gift for my dad, but it’s grown into something so much bigger—a way to spark connection, joy, and meaning in the lives of others.
Last holiday season, I gave my dad a set of 15 hand-drawn mandala cards with a simple challenge: send one card each week to someone he was grateful for. The idea was to create a habit of expressing thanks and letting the important people in his life (and occasionally random ones too) know how much they mattered.
The gift meant so much to him that he couldn’t bear to give the cards away. Instead, he decided to share the sentiment even further. He had my designs professionally printed and started sending cards to friends and family. The response was incredible.
I’ve learned that Gratitude has a way of multiplying. Each card he sent not only strengthened his relationships but also inspired others to reflect on the power of a simple “thank you.” Seeing how this idea touched so many lives, we decided to make the cards available to anyone who wants to spread a little more light and gratitude in the world.
My Aspiration
With this project, my hope is simple: to inspire everyone in the world to establish a weekly practice of giving a gift of gratitude. Gratitude establishes meaningful connections and lifts up both the giver and the receiver. These cards are my way of helping you start small but significant ripples of kindness and joy that can grow into something much larger.
Whether you’re thanking a family member, a mentor, or even the barista who makes your mornings brighter, each card is a chance to say, “I see you, and I appreciate you.” And those moments of connection? They’re truly powerful and priceless.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, let’s build a world with a little more gratitude, one card at a time. Game on? Then I invite you to start your own Gratitude Challenge and get your first Gratitude Pack to start spreading the joy.
