One card a day, a question that speaks to you
These are question cards. Draw one a day and give it an answer.
Questions of different kinds are mixed in evenly, about your heart, today, comfort, and your body, so no matter which day you draw, there is at least one that reaches your heart.
Each card has a one-line follow-up question at the bottom that goes a little deeper.
