Tuesdays With The Angels-20 Moon Rd. An Angel’s Tale

Posted on by

Long ago during childhood, my older sister, Karen, played a game at night in our bedroom with me that she created from her imagination called, “Good Fairy.” As creativity ran in all the genes of our family, my creativity was born. It would be decades later that I would write my first novel. Now I have finished the 5th in the Mystic Bay Series, 20 Moon Rd, An Angel’s Tale. I also wrote my memoir of my teaching years called, Special Needs

Children The Angels On My Shoulder. Also, I wrote a children’s

book, When The Angel Sent Butterflies.I was inspired to write angel stories after my daughter passed away years ago. It was then I know I met an angel in human form. His presence and words comforted me and so I call him The Man I Call Angel. I dedicated this book to my sister and my father, Joe, who was a funny, creative and brilliant man, who left our lives too soon. I try to promote positivity through my stories with themes of love, redemption, forgiveness, hope, self-discovery and kindness. My stories come with help from above. I’m sure of it. It has been a journey in between raindrops and sunny days. I am finding writing fills my soul with joy, wonder and love.

Angel Story From Joy

Posted on by

I was leaving my teller job at a local bank in Santa Cruz, CA twenty nine years ago when I was twenty eight years old. I walked to work five days a week. It was a lovely walk from my home to the bank through a residential neighborhood and took me about fifteen minutes. As I left work this particular day, I noticed it was beginning to rain so I was using my umbrella as I crossed the busy street in front of the bank. I was using the crosswalk and it was a crosswalk without any stop lights. So I always looked very carefully before I crossed the street. I did see cars far to the right of the crosswalk but the speed limit was twenty five mph so I felt I had plenty of time to cross. As I started across and had stepped several steps in the road, I was hit by a car. The next thing I remembered was waking up in the hospital with a nurse telling me I was going into surgery soon and I had been hit by a car.

I did fully recover after about six weeks after having surgery to repair my broken right shoulder, broken right elbow, and torn right knee ligaments. Also my pelvis was fractured. I was lucky to have a top emergency room doctor operate on me and care for me during my two week stay in the hospital.

While recuperating in the hospital I was informed that I was hit by a drunk driver who fled the scene after hitting me. He did return later but not to own up to hitting me but just to see if I was going to survive. The police questioned him when they saw his damaged windshield and witnesses said he was the driver so he was arrested right away after also failing a sobriety test.

I was informed several months later during the court hearing for the drunk driver that a couple had stopped their car to protect me while I was laying unconscious in the crosswalk. I never found out who this couple was but I know they were my guardian angels. I have thought about their heroic act quite frequently through the years and I am so grateful for this Divine power of angels from God. I was very young when this accident happened and have had a lot of wonderful times since this horrific day. I thank my blessings from God everyday and I’m so thankful to God for sending my guardian angels to save my life on that rainy evening.

Tuesdays With The Angels-Having A Heart

Posted on by

Have a Heart is an expression that has been used for many years. As the Russian War in Ukraine rages on, I pray without ceasing for the people of Ukraine and for the people who’s outpouring of love from their hearts spreads around the world.

In these times of people sheltering refugees, orphans, donations of military aid, food, helping animals, these are people in the world that inspire me. These are our angels on earth who take their loving hearts and help people they have never met or most likely will  never meet. The bully never wins in the end. So I pray the strength of heart and prayer will blanket the people of Ukraine and their homeland will shine again. All who help others in our world Have A Heart Because Love is Here to Stay.
