Have a Cardthartic Experience

The Cardthartic Experience came to be one night nearly 30 years ago now. Knowing her father was nearing the end of his life, our founder sat and began writing all the fond memories and wishes she wanted to share with her dad. She poured out all the things she still had time to say to this much-loved man, sometimes laughing and more times crying as she did.

At the end of one major writing-while-wailing jag, Jodee sat back — completely spent, but feeling so much lighter and more free — and sighed with a laugh, “Whew. What a cardthartic experience!” The essence of this company was born.

The practice of honoring emotions in this same way may help lighten your heart now, just as it did Jodee’s all those years ago (and still does on a regular basis to this day). Whether you’re feeling glad, mad, happy, sad, resentful or scared, this exercise is liberating. Here’s to clearing the path to peace in your heart.
