According to the National Science Foundation:

Human beings are hard-wired to think negatively 80% of the time and to repeat these negative thoughts 95% of the time.

Accumulated negativity is

linked to toxic ailments

including: anxiety, stress, depression, cardiac,

digestive, and

autoimmune disease.

of negativity with our Duo Decks. Discover how Duo Decks can help you find positivity and empowerment!

Our Story:

​Hello, I'm Melissa, founder of Inspiring Quotophile.  I am a national award-winning health educator, author, and researcher.  I am an international speaker, podcast and webinar guest. I am a passionate artist and social justice advocate. 

 

Inspiring Quotophile is dedicated to Lilly, my beloved shelter cat. I used to think that I saved Lilly yet her unconditional love, adoration, and sweetness rescued me many times over. 

 

I have survived sexual harassment, workplace toxicity, two brain surgeries for a stroke disorder, a brain tumor, and multiple other physical ailments.  Lilly was always there for me, offering a paw and a head butt to remind me: "It will be OK. Let's enjoy some salmon."

 

Lilly was right.  Things will eventually be OK. In the meantime, most of us can benefit from more positivity, which prompted me to found Inspiring Quotophile, where we deliver unique products to encourage and elevate your everyday life.  Our products are scripted with powerful affirmations and quotations, along with delightful artwork and photos to boost your self-esteem! 

Our Mission:

​We're in business to promote kindness, serenity, and positivity, in a world that can often be cloaked in darkness and negativity. Inspiring Quotophile uplifts and empowers the human spirit, one card at a time. 

Our Values:

While encouraging our consumers, Inspiring Quotophile is sustainably responsible to people and planet. Our motivational products are American-manufactured to sustain community jobs.

I Q products utilize eco-friendlier printed materials.

​How Affirmations Work:

Affirmations are  tools  that steer away from negativity to promote confidence in your abilities.  Our brains are "neuroplastic", meaning that they are capable of rewiring and change. 

Affirmations are a Springboard Towards Change:

Affirmations  are not  meant  to  provide instantaneous healing.  Yet, science demonstrates that our neuroplastic brains accept regularly repeated affirming statements as fact, thus creating a springboard towards empowerment and inspiration. 

Repeat Your Affirmations on a Regular Basis:

Affirmations  should be spoken out loud and repeated at least once a day.  Ideally, it is best to repeat them  in the morning and once again in the evening before bedtime.

Incorporate Action Steps:

In order to achieve your ultimate benefits and goals,  begin with self-awareness of your core values.  Decide what changes you wish to pursue so that your affirmations have direction. Incorporate action steps towards the changes you envision.

Meditation, journaling, and deep breathing exercises are excellent adjunctive activities to solidify positive intentions of affirmations. 

 

Inspiring Quotophile is pleased to help along your journey of self-discovery, intention, and potential.

​History of Playing Cards:

Playing cards originated in China during the 9th century.  By  the 11th century playing cards moved from Asia into Egypt.  In the 14th century playing cards moved from Egypt into Europe, most likely first  into Italy or Spain.

Playing cards continue to have enduring appeal centuries later.  The young and young-at-heart  enjoy playing cards as an interactive platform for friendly competition and education.

Playing cards are often graced with decorative, detailed, mysterious, and charming artwork.  Many people covet and collect playing cards. Some global collectors own over 11,000 card decks while others collect only individual Joker cards.
