Margaret was using these affirmations until a week before her death.

They are not words of any formal significance,
but a number of teachers of meditation, neuro-linguistic programming
and self-hypnosis use such words as these.

They are expressed not in terms of “I’d like to be better” but “I AM good”.

If you wish to use them, shift them from “I am…” to use your name.
In the end of August, Margaret, using the hand that had not worked in July, wrote her name, “Margaret” in place of the “I” on her page of affirmations.

Margaret meditated on more than half of the days from the time of her diagnosis.

This seemed to contribute to her strength of purpose.
