Here are some awesomely useful "Hints From Hannah" to simply solve everyday problems.
"You know this old world is becoming a tricky place in which to operate. I was just thinking that perhaps some of the younger folks would like to read about how us older folks used to have to make do and survive when things were tough many years ago…….
"Now days you buy a spray to take smells out of fabric…did you know that you can make a paste out of baking soda and water, rub it into the offensive smelly spot, wash it and the smell is gone? Lots cheaper than that expensive spray!
"A paste made of olive oil and salt will remove marks on a wood table caused by hot plates and dishes.
"A substitute for toothpaste? A few drops of lemon juice in plain water is an excellent tooth wash. It not only removes the tarter, but sweetens the breath. Then there is also the old standby of 1 part salt to 5 parts baking soda. This little hint works well for international travel….it is not a liquid.
"All traces of mud may be removed from clothing by rubbing the spots with a piece of raw potato…Wonder if this works on Snowflake red mud?
"Lemon peel (and also orange) should all be saved and dried. It is capital substitute for kindling wood. A handful will revive a dying fire and will also delicately refresh a room."
We hope you find these tips helpful!

Do Not Fear, Shine!
Concerning fear,
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” --Marianne Williamson from A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles
Here are some more inspirational, and timely quotes;
Pres. Hinckley:
"In all of living have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured."
Pres. Monson:
"Vision without work is daydreaming. Work without vision is drudgery. Vision coupled with work will ensure your success."
Earl Graves:
"We live in a society that demands and has grown accustomed to instant gratification. Most people today lack the patience necessary to achieve their goals. Unfortunately, there are no fast-food outlets serving up our dreams. Achieving your dream takes time. Every moment you are working, you can take comfort in realizing your are moving closer and closer to your dream. That work, the journey itself, is the adventure and half of the reward. Don't shortchange it. 'Don't let me ever hear you use the word 'impossible'. If I've learned anything over the course of my career, there's no such thing as impossible. Overnight, the impossible may not be possible. But over time, the impossible becomes possible."
In a talk Joseph B. Wirthlin gave he said something to the effect that if others are obnoxious, rude, or rebellious, be kind to them and love them. Not exact words, but that was the gist of it, and it so impressed me.
Someone said recently in a talk, "when faith surpasses our fear, we open our mouths" . I'm sure it was speaking of missionary work.
