Blessings In Disguise

Feeling and seeing the effects of divorce from the manager, janitor, director, mechanic, housewife, CEO, lawyer and teacher, I realized that no matter what your status in life is, no one is immune to a broken heart.

I developed a line of greeting cards that solely addressed the issue of divorce while going through my own after 24 years of marriage. At the age of 43, and within weeks of our three sons consecutively graduating from a University, Jr. College and High School, we filed for a divorce. I found it very therapeutic and comforting to write messages to myself that I wished someone would have said to me, or what my friends did say to me, during a very painful time in my life.

Statistics reveal that sixty percent of all marriages end in divorce.

I knew I was not alone.

When you walk through any department or specialty store, you can easily find cards for birthdays, get well, sympathy, love, romance, congratulations, weddings, babies, diets, pets, friends and much more, but I have yet to see cards that address divorce.

The cards that I have written are positive, sympathetic and compassionate. I feel they will reach a large audience, male, female and the children of the divorcing parents.

I have written cards for Dear Friend, Dear Son, Dear Daughter, Dear Mom, and Dear Dad.

I chose the name Blessings in Disguise (Blessings being plural) because I do not feel the pain of divorce is a blessing but that there are blessings to come in life from the disguise of divorce. So long as we remain open to receive them.

The design signifies the five of us in our family. Divorce does not touch only two people, but everyone in the home.
