Tuesdays With The Angels-Real Angels & Christmas

I always loved angels. My first exposure was through Christmas at our house. Even though my parents had troubling issues, our house was filled with lights, a beautiful tree, ornaments and stars that made my heart sing. There was a nativity set and angels on the tree. My faith was always a part of me, a feeling angels were with me. My dad would play Christmas albums all day long and to this day I can sing them word for word. They bring back a sense of peace overriding the tough memories of those years. Yes,  through the happy and hard times of my life I’ve believed angels were near. I’ve never seen  wings, but I know I met an angel once in human form  coming into my world after I lost my daughter. He comforted me then and thinking about him still comforts me years later. My belief in angels is even stronger now. I’ve written five books about angels. My Mystic Bay series tells the story of angels living as humans helping the people in town with encouragement and love.  So many incidents have filled my heart with the knowledge that love and goodness come from heaven. There is no doubt to me angels are always at my side and on my shoulder.They are everywhere. Look for your angels at Christmas and always!

Tuesdays With The Angels-Real Angels

As I practice my Youtube videos, Jody Sharpe The Angel’s On My Shoulder, I ponder what to say. Yes I can talk all day about the angel characters and others in my books. Themes that run through my mind all come back to love and kindness, the very essence of angels.  Maybe I meet angels sometimes on the street as strangers. Like the time a man came walking down the street and asked if he could help me as I struggled with my suitcase up the steep  stairs of my daughter’s  apartment steps in New York City. I asked him his name and he said, ” Val”. I wrote him as a character in my book, To Catch an Angel. Maybe they come to me in dreams like Hannah’s special tears in The Angel’s Daughter. Truly, the lovely idea came in a dream.

All I know is I believe angels are real and are there to touch us with love and goodwill. This is what I focus on when negativity comes calling. Writing and thinking about angels helps me find ways to  cope with the complexities of life.

I don’t ever leave a conversation with a loved one or friend without a kind word. This is my calling, to write about angels and to live as if angels are on my shoulder. For I know it’s true.
