Tuesdays With The Angels-The Angels On The Writers Shoulder

Posted on by

Years ago, when I started writing my first novel, The Angel’s Daughter, I encountered many experiences that seemed to be my destiny. Since my daughter, Kate, passed away years ago, I have written seven books and I am writing the eighth. This was not happenstance, this was meant to be in the tapestry of my life. You see, writing became healing, especially about angels, because I know I encountered an angel once in human form. He comforted me at my time of loss. I will speak of this encounter and more in my talk, The Angel’s On The Writers’ Shoulder. I am excited to announce I will be at the AZ Author’s Series Desert Foothills Library in Cave Creek, Arizona, November 1, 2022 at 4 pm. Come join me as I take you on my writing journey with each spiritual discovery. More information to come. Sending this in Light and Love.

Tuesdays With The Angels- Are Angels Divine?

Posted on by

The word divine means from God. God is divine and angels are sent from God. The angels are as perfect as they can be because they are God’s messengers. When I think of angels, I call on them to help me in my writing and in my day to day solving problems. I know now I get thoughts in my mind that are sent from above. These thoughts help me embrace my joys. I find  peace knowing these divine celestial beings are sent from God to help all of us. I have heard many inspiring stories from friends and others who have amazing angel encounters. To me, angels bring hope and God’s divine love to us all. I know this because I’m sure I met an angel once long ago when I needed God’s assuring love the most.

Tuesdays With The Angels- Angel Messages

Posted on by

A message from the angels ran through my thoughts the other day. I wasn’t thinking about angels at the time.

Love Is Tangible was the message. And as I thought about it during the day, it made such sense. Yes, you can see love in another’s eyes, in the devotion you feel for your loved ones on earth and loved ones gone on to heaven.  You can almost touch that love when you touch your heart.

My late daughter Kate, was afraid of bees when she was four. Years later after she passed away, I met a man who I am sure now was an angel. His presence and words comforted me. A few years later, I began writing novels about angels who come to earth in human form to help.

In ‘Town of Angels,’ the third novel in the Mystic Bay Series, Angel Ken sends butterflies to people in the town to calm their fears.  I was encouraged to  write a children’s book about the angel sending butterflies. Thankful for the wonderful illustrations by my friend, Susan Claire Anderson, I wrote ‘When The Angel Sent Butterflies’. In the story, Angel Ken sends butterflies to calm little Kate’s fear of bees. On the back cover I wrote, “Children need to know love from their parents and others surrounds them. Love conquers fear and beieving that angels are near can help sweep any childhood fear away.”   My love for my daughter, Kate, grows on as the years do now. Love never dies and as the angels’ message relayed to me, Love Is Tangible.

Tuesdays With The Angel- Messages From The Angels

The other day as I planned my day, doing the dishes, looking out the kitchen window, a thought came to me. I wasn’t thinking about heaven, angels or God at that moment but the words came through my mind. Walk with me. I realized it was a message from heaven.

Later in the day, I was contemplating whether to text a loved one who was having a disheartening day. Unexpectedly, the birthday card from that same person with a butterfly on it fell down on my desk. It had been leaning on the wall. There was nothing to have prompted the card moving. I knew it was a sign from above to text the loved one and I did. I knew the words that ran through my mind at that moment were part of my morning message.

“When one door closes, another one opens. Angels are near,” I wrote in the text. My message from the morning was clear. I was walking with the angels that day.

Tuesdays With The Angels-Are Angels Perfect?

Posted on by

People ask if angels are perfect. Yes, they are as perfect as God created them to help us.To me angels are God’s messengers, helping us through our days. Through joys and sorrows, angels are near. I know in my own life, I find this to be true.

I know friends and many others who come to my book signings  who have had experiences with angels. Some have seen them, seeing wings and beautiful glowing beings of all shapes, sizes, genders and ages. Some people say they have been saved from accidents, or have heard angel’s messages, finding objects, or seeing miracles happen in all kinds of scenarios.

 My own experiences with angels on earth include meeting an angel appearing as a human once years ago.  My encounter with the man I call, Angel, changed my life from sorrow to moving forward after the  loss of  my daughter.  I am writing a book about meeting him and those I’ve encountered who also may have been angels on earth. To me angels are as perfect as they can be. They are celestial beings, full of love, sent by God. I found great comfort knowing angels are near.

Tuesdays With The Angels-Messages From The Angels

Posted on by

People are wondering if angels are humans? Are angels female and male? I’ve spoken to so many people who have had angel experiences and read so many stories and of course I have had experiences of my own.

Angels can be male, female, old and young according to those I have spoken to and stories I’ve read. They are not human but celestial beings in my belief. Although angels do appear in human form to help and guide. I know this to be true because I had my own angel-human encounter years ago. The encounter changed my life. The encounter meeting the man I call angel, inspired me to create a fictitious series of books about angels living as humans in Mystic Bay, a town I created.

The angel I encountered inspired me to write my  memoir about the children wtih special needs I taught and how they changed my life and way of thinking after my daughter passed away.

There are so many stories about angel encounters from others I’ve known  that I am writing a new book about it. You see, I  discuss this  all on my Jody Sharpe YouTube channel because in our world today, we need more stories of angels, of kindness and of spiritual awakening. These stories in my mind and stories that I’ve read and have been told to me, fill my soul with hope and gladness. Love is real and angels are real. My message from the angels today is Follow your Heart. Your heart knows the answers!

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.

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.

Tuesdays With The Angels-Forgiveness

Posted on by

Words came to me the other night as I lay awake in the middle of the night. I wasn’t thinking about forgiveness yet the following words came from up above I’m sure: Forgiveness is Holy

I had finished writing my 5th book in my Mystic Bay Series, 20 Moon Road An Angel’s Tale. When these words came to me, I not only knew forgiveness is an on going theme in all my books but I realized something I’d never thought of.  Heaven has sent me every one of the words I write to share with others. These stories of love, redemption, hope, forgiveness and caring for others, bring me me nearer to God and angels. Forgiveness is Holy

 

Tuesdays With The Angels-Calling All Angels

Posted on by

As I watch most of the world rally behind the Ukrainian people, I know the angels are calling all the world to support this country and its’ men, women and children. We must pray for each and every one of the Ukrainians and for us to rally, to unite as one in as many countries as possible.

Prayer is more powerful than realized by many. Pray for unity, for health and safety of these people and all the people of the world.

When I write my books about angels and the angels that live as humans in the fictitious town of Mystic Bay, I believe it’s true. I think angels do live among us. I know, I met an angel once long ago when my daughter passed away. In my new novel out soon, 20 Moon Road An Angels Tale, the theme captures how one person’s love and knowing angels can change everything. 

Helping someone in need helps ourselves become all we can be. In my novels, the bully never wins.
