<p class="has-drop-cap">If you&#8217;re reading this, you undoubtedly love cards — ;but that doesn&#8217;t mean you always know what to write inside. Finding the right words during difficult or emotionally fraught situations — ;especially when they occur during the holidays — can be really, really tough, so I&#8217;m really gratified today to share a recommendation from one of my readers here, Tracey. </p>

<p>&#8220;As someone who loves cards, wrapping paper and stationery, I so enjoy your blog,&#8221; Tracey wrote me. &#8220;I&#8217;ve discovered a number of companies and designers I wouldn&#8217;t have known about otherwise thanks to you. One of the lines that&#8217;s my favorite right now is <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Positively Green (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.live-inspired.com/catalog/category/greeting-cards/positively-green/" target="_blank">Positively Green</a>. I first bought their cards following the death of a relative. Sympathy cards seem particularly tricky to me, and the cards they offer strike just the right note. I have no connection to Positively Green other than appreciating their ability to find the words when I cannot.&#8221;</p>



<p>Thank you so much Tracey! The range, published by <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Compendium (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.live-inspired.com/" target="_blank">Compendium</a>, is thoughtfully and meticulously crafted: eco-friendly, made in the USA and each even features a helpful green tip on back.
