The cards, printed.

Everything on this site is free, forever, no account. These are the same cards — on paper, on a nightstand, one a day.

Each card carries one steadying, research-backed idea, and the small square on its back opens that card's room: the idea in full, a practice for tonight, the sources, a candle, and 988 first. Kelly, our disclosed synthetic teacher, reads a card aloud in its room only when you press play. Nothing about you is kept.

How printing works. Printed when you order, in the printer's standard queue — allow 3–8 weeks this season. We never rush a print. There is no packing slip — the parcel is unbranded. Checkout ships to US addresses for now; the rooms are free everywhere.
a month in a box

HELD 30 — one card a day, for a month

Thirty cards, four suits, one a morning. For a pet, a divorce, early recovery, or the soul. (The grief month is not printed yet; for a death, the full year of 54 below.) A button that lands on “not on sale yet” means the printer does not have that file yet; nothing is charged until it does.

Honest about what it is

a few words

Had the cards a while? Say something true.

We have no reviews yet, and we say so. If the cards have been company, a few honest words — hard ones included — help the next person decide. Nothing is published without asking you first, and never with your name unless you want it.

Read by one person. No list. If our inbox does not answer, your mail app opens with it filled in.

Not sure which? Let Kelly pick a card for you — free, no account — or pick a card yourself.
