GRACE IS ENOUGHMay 12, 2008 I would like to inspire all those who are looking for new ideas, and a new way of life. The Grace Cards have opened up new avenues for one to look forward to different insights of all possibilities. If you, or anyone, is truly interested in seeing all avenues of life, I truly suggest that you consider using the Grace cards on a daily basis. You will TRULY, TRULY, be blessed.

Never before has a set of affirmations coupled with beautiful artwork resonated with me so. The soothing affirmations serve to center you with gentle guidance. The stunning artwork invites you to use all of your senses in experiencing it. Together, they create gentle but powerful messages for the soul.
The theme of each card is printed on the front over what strikes me as a fresh, new "horizon," beginning with a circling spiral which encourages an outward awareness, and offering the chance to enrich and expand the scope of your own personal vista.
Step into this stunning collection and embrace the wisdom imparted. Physically experience the sensual imagery of the paintings . . . . SEE the angelic light of self. TOUCH the soft silk of rest. SMELL the dewy forest of illumination. TASTE the salty air of patience. LISTEN to the roar of a seashell.
I prefer to randomly pick a card at the beginning of each week, then pay special attention to the message. Choose your card, step back, and look for the lesson - watch your opportunity to learn manifest! Most of all, remember your own divinity and trust in the grace available to you. You will find much here to help guide your path. Take advantage of it.

Not As Good As Her Self Care CardsApril 20, 2007 5 out of 8 found this review helpful
I ordered Cheryl's Grace Cards set pretty much on the basis of her Self-Care Cards set. I like the original set for my own use and have given them as gifts as well.
After visiting Cheryl's web site and clicking on her Touch of Grace feature a couple of times (which shows a card after one clicks on a particular star) I decided to order the Grace Cards set. When they arrived today I opened the box expecting quality comparable to the first set. But, found them much less satisying than the Self-Care set.
The images are not as appealing, or clear, the over all design of the cards not as high in quality, expressions on the subjects' faces not as pleasant.
One of the things that struck me throughout the deck was that the women are pretty much universally presented in a passive mode. This may have been purposeful, as in, representing the person using the cards as someone feeling 'stuck' and in need of waiting for 'grace' (whatever that actually is, which certainly wasn't clear to me from the cards themselves).
I did appreciate that the artists used models representing several ethnic groups.
The messages on the cards were not as satisfying or useful to me as on the first set either. They also presented contradictory messages. The Chance card has an image of a silouetted figure on a strangely shaped cliff. The message on the back reads, "Take the leap. Divine protection is always by our side." The Choice card's message is, "For every action there is a reaction. Choose wisely."
I suppose the deck is intended to be some sort of Tarot of action, representing a mixture of many religious and spiritual beliefs. The user picks a card which may then prompt some inner recognition of a personal need. For me, it was, however, a disappointment. I'm trying to decide whether to throw away all the cards I don't care for, keeping only the few I like, or give the whole boxful to someone who does like them--who, I don't know.
I find one card offensive above all the others. It's the Love card, with an image of a huge charred heart with what appears to be a consuming fire within, suspended above a craig, with a waterfall as a backdrop and beyond that a fiery sunset. I have no idea what it is supposed to represent or what it is intended to accomplish for the user. But, I find it really repellent, just want it to not be in the set.Self Care Cards (Large Card Decks)
Beautiful and a great gift!April 1, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
These cards are beautifully illustrated and hold up well to constant shuffling. There is a gloss coat that helps them slide out well. It was the perfect gift for a friend that is spiritually minded and each of the quotes are very thoughtful and fulfilling. It a is well put together package and I highly recommend it.
