  <body>At Divinexpression, we are committed to giving back to the world and being of service.  We have been inspired to take two different paths.  

The first path has been in the area of gifting our products to various communities with the intention to inspire another to live their lives fully.

The University of Santa Monica (USM) has a project called &#8220;the Prison Project,&#8221; where volunteers go to the Valley State Prison for Women in Chowchilla, California, and spend three days sharing with inmates the principles and skills they have learned at USM. Thereby students pass on the gifts they have received (and continue to receive!) from their USM education. In the spring and fall of 2007, Divinexpression gifted participating inmates with our %{color:#800080;}&quot;I AM Affirmation Deck Series&quot;:http://divinexpression.myshopify.com/products/affirmation-cards% decks and notepads.  The idea was to support the inmates in their growth and transformation.  Here is what the program directors had to say about this gift:

%{color:#808080;}We wanted to take a moment to share a special thank you from our hearts to yours.&#9786; The affirmation cards and notepads you gifted to the USM Prison Project were very gratefully received! They were sooooo beautiful, and so meaningful to the women.We had worked with Random Acts of Kindness as the last process of the Advanced Workshop and then the women all received your gift. The affirmation cards were like a full deck of Random Acts of Kindness!! It really couldn&#8217;t have been a more perfect gift! And we know that the beautiful notepads will be treasured by the women... saved for very special communications of the heart.%

%{color:#808080;}Thank you so much for this generous gift! Your loving heart was truly present with us and we are so grateful!! %
