Shinn was ahead of her time

Florence Scovel Shinn was writing about the power of positive thinking back in 1928; I think a profound testament to her ideas and the visionary praxis she lived her life by. Her books remain best sellers even today proving they have stood the test of time. It is also interesting how contemporary authors in the spiritual movement today emulate Shinn's themes. Many of Shinn's affirmations are appearing in these books - reconfigured as they are to avoid plagiarism charges - but nevertheless taken directly from Shinn. In some cases it is not even reconfigured but a direct copy of Shinn's creative genius. My advice is go to the SOURCE before spending money on copy cats eager to capitalize on the visionary work of Shinn.

Silence is Golden

This book is a book of statements/affirmations for almost any situation. After reading The Game of Life and How to Play it, one becomes painfully aware of a fact, that what ever you send out from your mouth, will come back to you. So, it behoves one to send out only good. This book has positive statements for most of the negative ones we tend to use in not-so-good situations of life. This little book is priceless to those of you in need of hope and a little guidance along life's path.

Your Word Is Your Wand is a must-read!

I have read all of Florence Scovel Shinn's works . . . andre-read them and re-read them. Ms. Shinn wrote her books between 1925and 1940, but through her books I have gained insights into how life works that are timeless and so full of truth! She says, "Nothing ever comes uninvited into your life." This is a painful but true statement. Read this book (and her 3 other books) and learn how to invite into your life ONLY what you need or desire!
