"Isn't That the Best?"
I loved being a Camp Fire Girl when I was young. I learned smart ways to deal with difficult situations as well as accept some difficult people by staying calm, thinking through my options, and then making things happen for the better.
No matter what your age, start or join a group of people who share your interests. Together you’ll experience far more fun than you would alone. More importantly, you’ll share valuable ideas along the way that will come into play in your life, I promise!
When I was 85 years old I died in my sleep with no regrets. Isn’t that the best?
Such fun to share,
Sarah

"Truth Has a Window!"
Happy New Year, friends of Lynn Scott!
I have been given this opportunity to come through for reasons of sharing my ideas for living a better life. Since I died as a result of polio many years ago, I can’t offer much in the way of modern medicine but can offer you the precious gift of staying still for 5 minutes each day. I know it makes a difference because I’ve seen it for myself. When people worry over things their eyes and minds wander, and in a way disappear from reality. But when they sit still their eyes relate to their God given life, and it grounds them so much better.
Once this happens, truth has a window to come through! Isn’t that wonderful? For without truth, we’re all just in a hall of mirrors reflecting one another’s worries and upsets.
Begin your day with 5 minutes of peace and quiet. Your mind’s will to worry can then reverse its course and come back (like the tides in the ocean) to give you the good news - the truth! - that you are a miracle of God and will be blessed when you stay open to God’s truths instead of others’ fears.
Believe me. It’s not often heard by those on your side because you are so busy, but this truth is like a miracle. It will reverse the tide of your wayward life.
Much love,
Mei-ling

"A Place to Land"
When you’re young, you often ask for things you want; things you can see such as a new bike. When you get older, you pray for things you can’t always see such as the gift of love or free time to do things. Because I know how to help manifest things, I want to come through for you today to help in that regard.
Give yourself the chance to make things different by putting a purpose behind it. It makes things happen. For instance, if you want more money, be practical about what you want to use that money for: vacations, helping others, new car…you get the idea. Next, write it down in a sort of pyramid picture. Write your wish at the top, and then below write the many things you will do with the money and see how it trickles down the more you share it.
I have no need for money or things now, but if I had tried this I know it would have worked, because I see money coming to those who plan for what they will do with it. Then it has a place to land! Otherwise, it’s just remains a wish. So write it down, so it can speed up!

"Sit Tall When You do Your Homework!"
I have an idea I would like to share. If you sit tall when you do your homework, it’s like opening a valve where your brightest thoughts can assimilate all that you’ve read with what comes next. It’s like it filters and files all that information into its proper place for easy access and retrieval later.
Sitting tall gives your body access to the greatest abundance of energy there is in moving forward effortlessly. I know. I slumped in my younger years and felt tired and bewildered almost all the time. Once I became inspired to sit tall, all those tired and bewildering feelings vanished.
It’s a gift from Earth itself to let its magnetic rays of anti-gravity travel up your spinal column (sonar-like!) to give you the daily lift you need, and therefore elevate all your outcomes!

"A Much Brighter Future"
After I died I thought I would be able to stay here and help my family, but it’s not automatic. You don’t just get to hang around or it would be considered interfering. What I found out is that it was up to my family to ask for my help before I could participate. Hard as that was, I had to wait my turn before coming back to be a guide.
Believe in the power of love. We can place a great deal of love around you that will reduce your feelings of abandonment or fear. That’s an honor we wish to do! That said, we will never interfere with your choices, so don’t think we can manipulate the outcome of your choices.
I’ve spoken before but wanted to be sure to share with you that when you invite your friends and family (on the other side) into your circle of life, they will help you build a much brighter future!

"Eat A Lot Without Gaining Weight!"
Candied apples were my favorite dessert! I only got to have them once or twice a year, but when I did I thought God Himself had made each one! I’m grateful for the chance to come through because I want you to know that when you eat food but feel bad about it, it really does digest differently than when you eat it with love.
From here on I hope you look at your food and think about the hands that helped make it – from the farmer to the cook, and then feel consideration for each person. Because if you take your food to heart, you alter how your mind sees it…which is without so many negative connotations. Believe it or not, your mind will then lead how your body receives it.
For heaven’s sake, many people eat a lot without gaining weight because of their higher metabolism. Now it’s your turn to return to your higher metabolism by feeling God’s love in every bite!
Happy to help -

"Knock it off...or else!"
After I grew up in Brooklyn, NY, I felt unafraid of anything or anyone because if you can handle yourself there, for sure you can handle yourself anywhere. I feel this is important to share because I want all kids to know that if they learn early in life to stand up for themselves, it will be a life lesson that will support them well the rest of their lives.
Give your kids permission to look other kids square in the eyes when they’re being picked on and say, “Knock it off…or else!” They need to stand up for themselves, because bullies want to make others look and feel like they’re nothing.
While I’m proud to say I never took advantage of anyone, I did give as good as I got which was a lesson a few bullies had to learn. For the rest of my life I kept that calm assurance of confidence inside of me which served me well.
Happy to give you my tip for having a good life!

"There is No Perfect Plan!"
Plenty of people on your side sit and think things through over and over, and then mull them over some more, all the while wasting time and talent. I was one of them. I fought the feeling of actually doing something until I was certain I had the perfect plan. That’s a trap, because there is no perfect plan….or perfect anything, for that matter!
What you need to do is to be bold! Take a swing at whatever is challenging you, because when you tackle it - even if it ends up not being the right answer - you’ve learned a lot. Plus, you’ll end up giving yourself a lot more credit for having a lot more guts than you ever knew. And from what I see, that’s what’s needed where you are: more people with more guts!
No two ways about it, it’s been a lot of fun coming through -

"Too Often Their Minds Tangle"
Many people develop mental conditions as they age that limit their ability to process information, making simple tasks frustrating. Too often their minds tangle, and even reverse themselves in an effort to free themselves from the confusion. Characteristically, the general community thinks this is a given aspect of aging. It is not. I know. I was a physician.
COMMIT TO THIS:
Hang a sheet of white paper about 3 feet from where you work. When your mind begins to race or feel overwhelmed, look at it. For just as your body needs water to replenish itself, your mind needs this opening to judgment-free thought.
This is an ingenious alternative to working harder and harder in an effort to stave off mental sluggishness and repeated disasters due to memory loss. Practice this medicine and be free of the old way of thinking that older means less sharp.
Always here to be of help –

"Open Your Eyes!"
When I was young I danced and sang a lot for my family, enchanting them with my stage presence! As I grew older, however, my friends weren’t so easy to impress. That’s when I began to doubt myself, eventually becoming my own worst critic.
As I matured, I learned to give myself small compliments. That’s when all aspects of my life began changing for the better. Over time, I became an accomplished high board diver. I know now that dream came true because I loved being me again!
Open your eyes! Give yourself credit and congratulations for your accomplishments, large or small. This sets the stage for your future to reflect back what has always been in store for you: a life filled with stunning victories!
A good friend -
