I picked up a deck of affirmation cards by Florence Scovel Shinn the other day at the thrift store, and they are wonderful. The cards are quotes taken from her book, The Game of Life and How to Play It, which was published in 1925. I’d be delighted to pick a card for you.
If you’d like one, just let me know in a comment, and I will shuffle the deck, pick a card (without looking!) and reply to your comment with the quote.
Sending happy, prosperous, and fun thoughts to you today!
I would so appreciate an affirmation. Thanks…for that, and everything else you do!

Hello Mary
Would you please pick a card for me?
Thank you so
Btw- I do enjoy reading your blog posts
Thank you for sharing your insights & reflections
Wishing you all good things
Dear Mary, wowowowowowow, you must have spent quite a bit of time typing out all these wonderful affirmations for your readers…so l decided to choose a card for you from Sonia Choquette’s ‘The Answer is Simple’ (oracle cards guidebook) and the card l drew was # 62 ‘SHARE YOUR GIFTS’! We all have gifts of Spirit that we’re here to share. The ego often discounts them as not good enough, not significant enough, not important enough to make a difference. Don’t fall into this trap and hide them. Know that the siple endowments of Spirit, which are grounded in love and kindness, come from your heart and are needed now more than anything. Life is not demanding any great thing of you in this moment. It’s only asking that you trust your Spirit and share your gifts, which may include the ability to listen, to calm others, to make a meal, to organize a situation, to run errands, to offer a hand, to be patient, or to make another laugh. You know in your heart of hearts what your Spirit is gifted at sharing with others.
Now is the time to do this. Don’t be shy. Share your gifts, as others need your love and kindness now.”
I honestly just looked at your website photo and picked a card from the pile, but isn’t its message amazing….warmest wishes to you and thank you for all the gifts you’ve been sharing with us – Sabina
Thank you, Sabina. That is a lovely and affiming card and I appreciate it so much!
Love,
