On that date, I will have posted to this blog for an entire year - and that's long enough.

Today's Design of the Day was created by me, Cindy Johns! :) It's an abstract card which profoundly expresses hope, inspiration, and wanting to spend more time with someone near and dear who's dealing with cancer. Send this card that is uniquely encouraging--in a metaphysical sense--to a loved one diagnosed with the disease. Pictured is a pink ribbon-like silhouette woman spinning among prisms and hearts (I'd also like to say 'thank you' to Randall Munroe, the creator of the XKCD comic strip, because I got the idea for this card from one of his awesome comics).
