It has been quite a while since I published my groundbreaking book, The Secret of Emotions. If you haven’t read it yet, it is worth taking another look at. Here is the beginning of the first chapter: We are all born with an innate longing for God—not a god with a long white beard who shakes his finger at us, but the Divine Creative Spirit that blessed the universe with breathtaking wonder and touched our hearts with limitless grace. This God filled His creation with His most noble attributes—and then placed the potential for each of these qualities within the […]

As the Fast comes to an end tomorrow night, we hope you begin the new year with joy and celebration that lasts all year long. Oh, and if you haven’t yet purchased a calendar for this year, we still have a few left. They are all on sale now. Remember, our wall calendar is good through December of 2020 and our pocket calendars are good through March of 2020.  

I love 4-color pens. They are really handy for taking notes, highlighting information, or just doodling with flair. We have sold 4-color pens in the past, but they were not nearly as nice as these. Take a look. They are sleeker, with a nice rubber grip for easy handling. The iridescent teal color is rich and elegant. The metal clip and accent at the top give it a quality feel, and the stylus tip makes it incredibly useful when you are using your phone, tablet or any touch screen device. This is all on top of the smooth writing and

Order any prayer beads between now and March 12th 2019, and you will receive a coupon for $5 off for every set of prayer beads you order. Like magic, the coupon will be waiting for you in your cart. Just click on it during checkout to apply the discount. You may remember that last month we introduced several new prayer bead stones.  So why are we putting them on sale so soon? It is because during the Fast, people’s thoughts turn to the power of prayer and meditation, and from there, they turn to prayer beads.  We want to give

Happy Ayyam-i-Ha everyone!  If you still have people to buy for, remember that we have gift certificates that don’t require mailing. Also, if you haven’t ordered from our new website this year, you have until Friday to get our “thank you for re-registering on our new site” 10% discount on your entire order.  If this is your first order this year, you have to register from the beginning, with a new password and everything. It may take a few minutes to figure out, so that is why we are giving the discount. A 10% discount is a good deal, so

We have a full week before the official start of Ayyam-i-Ha, but many communities have decided to celebrate early.  If your community is celebrating on Saturday or Sunday, then it may be too late to get anything in for your party.  Sorry. BUT, if you are ordering presents for friends and family, there is plenty of time to get them in by next Tuesday if you choose anything other than 1st Class for your shipping option. If you need ideas, visit our Gift Ideas for Adults or our Gift Ideas for Children pages.  Right now, our Flash of Inspiration Flash

I don’t usually post twice in one week, but I’ve been waiting so long for these beautiful books to arrive that I couldn’t wait another minute! It has taken over a year to commission all of the artwork and then create all of the activities pages myself, but it was worth it. Animals Building Character took all those months to develop because we wanted to create something special that the whole family could enjoy.  Young children will love coloring the charming pictures of animals and the use of alliterative virtue and animal names to illustrate positive behavior. They will meet compassionate

With exactly two weeks to go before the beginning of Ayyam-i-Ha, I thought I’d remind you that we have a lot more than books and teaching materials.  In fact, we have 5 Categories of Ayyam-i-Ha Gifts: Community-wide Gifts (low-to-medium cost gifts for everyone in your community), Special Gifts (hand-picked for family and special friends), Party Favors (even lower-cost for gift bags at parties), Children’s Gifts (books, crayons, blocks, magnets, the list goes on) and Games (for your family or to play as a community). We also have a bunch of great Holiday Items like flags,  Ayyam-i-Ha ribbon, cake stencils and cookie cutters. If

Flash cards are a great educational tool. They can also be turned into fun games for groups or individual. This set of 52 cards has a well-loved Baha’i quotation with several words missing on one side, and the same quotation with those words highlighted on the back.  Click here to see all of our games and activities. A few months ago, I put out a call on FaceBook for people to comment with their favorite “one liners” from the Baha’i Writings. Friends from around the world offered dozens and dozens of suggestions. Other friends shared my post, and those shares

Karen has just finished stringing several new styles of prayer beads – just in time for gift giving. Scroll down to see some of the new ones, or click here to see them all. With 21 different stones to choose from, there is something to fit every personality and every prayerful attitude. Sure you can say your Allah-u-Abhas without any prayer beads at all, but there is a reason why Baha’u’llah was called “The Blessed Beauty.” Beauty – particularly the beauty of creation – draws us closer to God. It is one of His virtues that can move us, even

Our new website is up and working with only a few glitches. So now we turn our focus to the upcoming holidays. We’ve been working on some new gift ideas for Ayyam-i-Ha. In the next few weeks we will be announcing several new products, including a new gift pendant, a coloring book, new prayer beads and possibly a new card game. In the mean time, we have several different kinds of holiday cards, holiday ribbon, flags and cake stencils to help you get prepared.   If you are already in the mood to start buying gifts, click here for some ideas to get you started.
