A tavern seems like a pretty pathetic place to die, but actually it was almost like a second home to me so when I collapsed and had a heart attack there, at least I wasn’t alone.  I was surrounded by a handful friends I considered family.

It’s hard to know where to begin when you’re given the opportunity to give advice about life, but I guess I’ll narrow it down to live for today.  It’s important because the truth is, you never know if you’re going to make it to the next day.  So if you have the sense to make today great, you’ll never regret your life. 

That’s what I have to say, so thank you.

I was a girl of fourteen when the train car I was in came unhitched.  I was asleep.  So when it reversed course on the tracks, I only became aware of it moments before it careened into another train not very far behind our train. 

Spain is where I lived and still call home though I’m now in the afterlife.  Since the accident, I’ve had a great deal of time to think about my life as well as life in general, and want to share some of my ideas about it:

• Don’t let yourself be talked into anything you don’t want to do. It will become a burden.
• Become an expert at one thing, at least.  It will definitely boost your confidence. 
• Answer any question asked of you with, “I only know that for me…”
• Stand tall and hold your head up high every day of your life.  It increases the serotonin in your brain, and your heart will function with much more ease as it feels the happier chemicals surging through your body.

Always here when you need a friend,

Take time each day to write on a piece of paper the kind of adjectives you would like used to describe who you want to be (i.e. funny, patient, delightful, etc.).  This becomes a fun way to give God the real honest-to-goodness idea of who you want to be.  Then one night when you least expect it, God’s going to grant you your wish by shifting you into the brightest light there is: LOVE!


Soon, you will begin noticing more and more things in your life are connecting while more and more of the adjectives you wrote down are describing who you really are!  This is when you begin accepting the idea that you’re co-creating YOU through the hand of love: GOD!

I love you all,
Amy
