Florence Scovel Shinn

If you need a dose of positive energy then try Florence Scovel Shinn. In 1925 she self-published The Game of Life and How to Play It. It is still selling well. When Emmet Fox first arrived in the United States he stayed at Florence's home. Here are a few of our favorite affirmations from her: I now thank God the Giver for God the Gift. The Lord loves a cheerful receiver, as well as a cheerful giver. You will be a failure, until you impress the subconscious with the conviction that you are a success.

Treat yourself everyday for sheer good humor. This alone will solve a surprising number of your problems and is tremendously effective in self-healing.

Emmet Fox (1886-1951)

Besides being an author, Florence was also an accomplished illustrator. Above is a drawing she did for the January, 1900 edition of a magazine named The Century.
