A new year comes and unfortunately our world still reels from a tumultuous 2024. There is a thought by many though that the world will improve, that hate can dissipate, that love can  find a way to unite us here on our beautiful earth. It’s just a speck in the vast universe and yet we are made from all the components, the fabric of life but still so many are blind to that thought. Hate is powerful but Love is the most powerful force of all.

When I ask for inspirations from the angels they  come in words and phrases. Lately. the phrase has been, let  gratefulness replace fearfulness. Would it really be that strange to think that attitude and hope could be the catalyst for ending wars and hate?

I’ve written many times that after my daughter passed away I  met a man who I’m sure was an angel.  I feared my life had no meaning and gratefulness and joy were seemingly gone. Hope was a thing of the past. Yet meeting the angel with his comforting presence started to change my way of thinking. I could be happy again, I could find courage to go on and love those left to care for including my fellow man. Bitterness, I vowed,  would never show its face, I had work to do as a teacher, a parent, a wife and a friend.

Now and forever, I look for hope  for our world  as I ask for inspiration from the angels. Compelled to write books with angels themes I go on. I want my children and grandchildren to know that many of us look up at night in wonder at the planets and stars so far away to comprehend. We  wonder what we are here for? Is the answer always  to love each other? It is for me. For we are here to love and help each other with grateful hearts.  Look up tonight and see what I see. I see endless possibilities the vast universe has waiting for us if we choose to find them. Joy is not an impossible dream.My life changed in an instant and yet years later I found surely love never dies and joy is possible when gratefulness replaces fearfulness and love is always  triumphant.
