Some of our most powerful Pretty Words messages come from writer and storyteller Valeria Palmertree. We met back in 2019, when Cardthartic approached Valeria to do media relations so our company might become better known. Good and bad news: We got a little sidetracked on the publicity efforts because we kept wanting to publish what she had written in notes and emails. And we often go mining for new Valeria quotes on Instagram. :)
In a wise reflection piece, she wrote, “Always the (reluctant) optimist, I try my best to find the silver linings in the midst of otherwise incomprehensible circumstances – though, admittedly, it’s not always easy.
“I found myself thinking about all of the fears, insecurities, vulnerabilities, you-name-it that the pandemic revealed. In black and tired handwriting, amid random thoughts, questions and encouraging phrases scribbled in my journal, I became aware of the lessons. Turns out every situation has a learning, if we pay attention. As I wrote, I discovered just how poignant these lessons have been, and I hope they transcend and help serve as reminders for many years to come.”
