RUNNING YOUR WORLD — A WISDOM CARD DECK

With this deck I invite you to pause, ground yourself in the moment, connect with your body and soul, reclaim the power you have to create your life in each moment, and commit or recommit to shining your light in the world. 

Each card features a photo from my coffee table book, Running the World: Marathon Memoirs from the Seven Continents, along with an inspirational message and reflection prompts on the photo's theme.

This deck is the culmination of years of creative work and a lifetime of integrated wisdom and experience.

May it guide you to celebrate the power of who you are, ignite your passion for the life you live, and take inspired action toward your dreams.

WARM WORDS & BEAUTIFUL RITUALS
"My wife and I are so grateful to have found Melissa's wisdom cards! We enjoy their insightful inspiration and beautiful photography, which always ties in so poetically with each card's Universal teaching. We are so moved and inspired by their knowledge.

We have also gifted Melissa's cards to friends and family! 
​We highly recommend her elegant, encouraging, positive prose.

We each read a different card at the beginning of the week and then, at the end of the week, share with one another how each of our cards opened our eyes to signs and knowledge the Universe has shared with us. We then discuss what we learned from the week and the cards.

 
This practice has been an anchor in the ups and downs of the past year. Melissa's amazing insight, Universal teachings, and personal journey are so helpful and easily implemented into everyday life. Her wisdom cards are truly life-changing!
 
Thank you so much, Melissa, for sharing your talents and personal experiences in such a beautiful way!"​

"Melissa's wisdom cards are the most effective daily reflection prompt I have encountered. I start and end my daily routine using these cards.

The breathtaking imagery gently sweeps me away to distant lands and prepares me for the inscription. As each card is uniquely beautiful, I am drawn to selecting the next card and discovering the message.

In the morning I pull a card from the shuffled deck, read the inscription, and consider how the wisdom message applies to the day ahead. I carry the card with me as a reminder to recognize opportunities the Universe is providing to channel the message in my thoughts and actions.

At the end of the day, before returning the card to the deck, I reflect on the message again. I connect the message to events during the day and how those events may have altered my original understanding.

The pairing of the exquisite imagery and wisdom message instills multidimensional inspiration in a small package."​

"Although I will typically pull a card from the deck randomly, more often I will flip through the deck and choose a card where the picture deeply resonates with me at the time. Whenever I have done this, and flipped it over to read the message, it was uncanny how much it was exactly what I needed to hear in that moment.

Another practice I have often done is to journal how I feel the concept on the card is currently manifesting in my life. I have found that also brings tremendous insight.

Thank you, Melissa, for putting together such a beautiful and inspiring deck."

"I have used these cards in times of celebration and hardship. When I am looking for inspiration, guidance, and heartfelt support, I read the message from a chosen card and fully embrace the lesson. Each one is carefully crafted and has many empowering life lessons filled with wisdom.
 
I'm truly grateful for this deck because it's a treasure filled with uplifting energy and direction. It's a gift that can honestly help anyone take that giant leap of faith!"
