What It Is
Gratitude Blooming is a 39-card reflection deck inspired by nature and grounded in real-world facilitation.
This is a flexible, repeatable reflection tool — not a scripted program.
Each card pairs botanical artwork with a human theme — Trust, Perspective, Sorrow, Forgiveness, Growth.
The companion guidebook offers prompts that work for:
• Individual journaling
• Small group reflection
• Workshops and retreats
• Virtual gatherings
Trusted in Real-World Settings
Gratitude Blooming has been used:
• In weekly online circles during the COVID-19 pandemic
• In community spaces following the Los Angeles fires
• In leadership fellowships and nonprofit programs
• In digital gatherings of 400+ participants
• Within a Fortune 500 company navigating the aftermath of a major cyberattack
With both physical and digital decks, Gratitude Blooming’s system is simple and adaptable. Participants can speak, write, or listen. All are forms of participation.

Artist Intention
All the art I do is an attempt to bring some kind of healing into the world.
Art feels like a way to share the tools, inspiration and community needed to begin and sustain our unique path toward reaching our full potential. Even if the expression of a work reaches one person at a time, it feels like the slow work needed to build the momentum to create the world we hope and dream.
When the plants drawn from nature in my 100-day project became the Gratitude Blooming card deck, I realized how each person the cards reached (like each of these plants and flowers) is so full of beauty, wisdom and power in their own artful way.
