Tuesdays With The Angels-Messages From Heaven

My latest novella, New Angel In Town, as in all my ten books, is  filled with messages from heaven. These messages of my own or told to me from family, friends and people I meet at book fairs, keeps me resilient and writing onward. The following recent story is one of my own.

On my late daughter, Kate’s birthday, a while ago heaven sent me a  message. Was it from Kate or the angels who I trust are near me each day? In the house I lived in for twenty one years after she passed away, geese would fly over head each day. I would go outside loving the sound of their calling  to each other. I loved their joy in the way they formed a perfect v. There  was always a straggler, a goose that had to catch up as if  he or she was a child on a schoolyard  catching up to his friends. I would always count the number flying over head. Why? I  wanted them to reach the number seventeen for that was Kate’s birthday date. Once in a while there would be seventeen geese and I would feel they had been sent to me to remember my joy at being her mother.

Recently, on the week of Kate’s birthday,  while looking at the sky in my new backyard, there they were again  very high in the sky. Amazingly, I’ve never seen them above this house I’ve lived in for a few years because there are no lakes near our home. But there they were greeting me high, closer to heaven as they moved towards a lake somewhere. Seventeen of them graced the air in perfect formation. As always there the straggler was catching up to the others.

I receive  so many messages from heaven and the angels.  Nature’s beauty surrounds us. I write about kindness and love, about thwarting bullies and helping others. I know I write with help from above. Maybe my writing can help others see the world as I do. There is profound heavenly strength in love and kindness. These are the foundations to awaken the spirit. Loving and helping others keeps my own humble life moving forward toward joy.  Everyday I  find signs filled with love like me running out of my back door again in total surprise to watch the majesty of geese flying overhead. In my latest novel the eight angels of Mystic Bay fly forming a perfect v as they fly to help a family somewhere in need. 

 

 

Tuesdays With The Angels- New Mystic Bay Series New Angel In Town

My latest novella, New Angel In Town, is a labor of love as all my books are. However, this one is different from the others in the Mystic Bay Series. This book has a compilation of all the angel stories ever told to me from family members, friends, and people at book fairs. These are true accounts of  real encounters people have experienced in their lifetimes.  I decided to write a  book in the series  bringing all the characters,  townsfolk and the angels living as humans together telling their angel stories. The secret is known to a few but the angels have their own favorite stories of helping those in need in Mystic Bay. These stories told to a filmmaker will  become a film to inspire humanity.

How did writing the Mystic Series start? Thirty years ago, my  treasured first child, Kate tragically passed away.  I was beyond hope yet found heaven had a plan for me. An angel was sent to me  to comfort me. He appeared as a human undexpectedly as a friend took me on a girl’s trip to help my grief. He was at a department store and spoke to us then appeared again the next day walking up to Nancy and me again in a tiny store forty miles away. I can see his face in my mind. It seemed an unlikely and miraculous encounter. He told us he’d see us at the airport. Then Nancy and I turned away for a moment and turned back and he was gone. We looked for him up and down the street but he was nowhere. Believing he is my guardian angel, I started writing stories about angels living as humans in a town where the secret is kept that angels are all around us guiding us, sometimes appearing as humans. 

And so it is an honor to write the stories I’ve been told by friends, family and people I met at book fairs. These are true stories from their hearts, their encounters that changed their own lives. I ask them, ‘Tell me your angel stories’ and people do.

Writing this book was a labor of love and hopefully readers will see the humanity, the soul searching, the honesty and vulnerability many have shared with me. The themes involve child advocacy, friendship, bullying, romance with magical scenes of flying angels and visions of their missions. The storyline weaves it all together in a tapestry of hope. I’m sure that meeting my angel long ago gave me  hope to keep going and to ultimately write angel stories to inspire hearts. Tell me your angel story if you can. This novella is filled with encounters from the hearts of many who confidied in me their precious miraculous stories. I’ve put them into a fictional novella to radiate kindness and love. Angels are everywhere.

Tuesday With The Angels-Goodwill vs Bully

 

I always ask the angels to give me  words as I write my novellas and blogs. I knew a healer who said when I asked him what to do about others who are critical or cruel to me or those I love, he said, “Wish them well.”  

How powerful it is to wish well those who are unkind to us. In all the  books I write, goodness always wins and the bully learns. Today with so many bullies plagueing our media my belief now and forever is that hopefully someday they will see the light kindness brings. Wishing them well but also wishing them knowledge are compatible. In my new  book set in Mystic Bay I am writing, the angels who live as humans in Mystic Bay, impact everyday lives with thoughtful gestures and examples of kindness and understanding.

We are fortunate  to be here on earth to help our families, our friends as well as those we might never know. Our impact to help those in need will fly on angels wings little by little spreading love and kindness. Thoughts of love have power and change. Love is always more powerful than hate. Remember, we can be stewards of kindness, light workers, lighting the way to a path of kindness. The bully never wins!

Tuesdays With The Angels-Kindness vs Bully

The more intelligent a person is, the more he discovers kindness in others”  Leo Tolstoy

In all my Mystic Bay books there is a theme where the bully is thwarted but has an awakening of sorts, a change for the better.

The theme of kindness to others, human and animal is always present in my books. In these times where bullying has been seen as part of the norm in the political world, there is still hope. For there is a spiritual awakening for many of us.

In my new book I’m writing in the Mystic Bay Series, a child is bullied and Angel Ken, and characters Gayle and Alex help change his life. Angel stories will abound in the town and the outcome will be one of love and goodwill. There is always a twist at the end of each novella, an ending of love and reflection for the reader. 

In our reality now, bullies of the world need an avenue to understand the power  kindness has for us all to hang on too. Kindness and love are the most important ingredients for a good life. Parents and adults modeling kindness to children will have profound outcomes for these future adults. Everyday,  I ask the angels to help me in my writing about angels and in my own life’s journey as a mom and grandmother. I see the results and what comes always is a pathway to joyfulness.

 

 

Tuesdays With The Angels-Angel Inspirations -The Kindness of Friends

I’ve been lucky to have dear best friends over the years. I met my dear late friend Norma over forty years ago. My late daughter, Kate, was a baby and Norma, though old enough to be my mother, became my very bestie for decades. She had the qualities of a wonderful mother, wife and friend. She was brilliant. Her father and mother owned a bakery shop in the Bronx when she was a child. She went to NYU, which was a rarity for women in the late 1930’s. At twenty, she was a PT in the army stationed in England in World War II. There she met her late husband of over fifty years, Arch. Later in life they survived the death of their adult sons due to health problems. The inspiration from being  Norma’s friend was life changing for me.

When I lost my daughter, Kate, in a tragic accident, Norma was my rock to lean on. She had been through losing her one son then and knew the heartache. We were so close that we talked of the serious things of our lives but also we both had our  humorous positive side. Her humor was infectious. She gave me advice on childrearing and marriage and career. She taught me to love life even through the horrendous grief of losing Kate. She would wake up every day opening her curtains saying “Good Morning World!”

Before she died she read my first book, The Angel’s Daughter, and passed away after the second novel, To Catch an Angel. Of course she was the inspiration for Madam Norma, the oldest psychic town,  in all my books in the Mystic Bay Series.  She was thrilled to have a character patterned after her. But the funny thing was Norma wasn’t psychic in real life, nor did she believe in God. That is til the end. She saw spirits and her husband then. I miss her everyday still. But I know she is in heaven’s realm, and with her beloved Arch and sons. Norma’s wit and wisdom will follow me all the days of my life. Through sadness she was kind and calm. Norma was a gift to me from above, a role model to remember. In my award winning novel 20 Moon Rd. An Angel’s Tale, her character comes to Angel Ken in spirit asking him to write her life’s story to the world. In the novels Madam Norma had always seen angels by everyone’s  side. Surely, an angel sent this incredible human into my life. In the novel I wrote, I captured her essence, Madam Norma says, “Kindness Is The First Ingredient of Love.

Tuesdays With The Angels-The Angels Inspire My Words

In our world where turmoil persists, the inspirations from the angels have led me to write the following. In one hundred years from now all that will matter to many of us human beings on earth is that we tried to pass our love to our children and grandchildren. We are all  watching how the bullies of the world try to break peace and the promise of a harmonious future.

On our fragile God’s green earth each of us can make a difference. Passing the love on will be for me a message of hope for a future for my loved ones. The greedy, the narcissists clearly don’t understand what they are missing and that as bullies they will never win.

We must pray for our world, pass the love around to our family and friends with kindness toward all others. Love is more powerful than hate. Love is the triumph for the ages. Our children are watching  these next one hundred years. Will the bully ever know that love is the only answer?

Tuesday With The Angels-Angel Inspiration Ribbons of Kindness

I believe angels send me messages when I’m trying to go to sleep each night or when I wake up in the middle of the night. As I write my newest Mystic Bay Series novel about angels living as humans in the fantasy town I created, a recent  message  came in the night. Ribbons of Kindness.

I interpret this to mean that in this tumultuous time in our world when millions are scared of the uncertainty of peace, harmony and livlihood, there are ribbons of kindness flowing from many to help us all. It may be a stranger who smiles at us, a courteous driver who let’s us in a lane, a friendly word from an acquaintance or a loving hug and word from a loved one.

It may be the helping hands of ours or others who reach out to the less fortunate. As we trek through this time remember that love always wins, the bully always loses and kindness is there as a ribbon in your days. Being kind to others is a heroic part of love. In essensce kindness is the essential part of love. The angels know this to be true for sure. Whatever we do today and tomorrow please be part of the ribbon of kindness.

Tuesdays With The Angels-All Children Deserve A Wonderful Life

It’s A Wonderful Life has always been my favorite holiday movie. Maybe it’s because the theme of the film is truly about love and kindness and how it changes everything. In the film, an angel comes to change George’s life. George is a man who wants to end his life as the bully in the town has seemingly ruined the family business. Clarence, the angel, appears showing George what life would have been like if George had never been born. In the end George realizes his unselfish kindness to the townsfolk and his family has saved the business and that he really does have a Wonderful Life

I encountered an angel once long ago when hope seemed gone after my daughter died. The angel, like Clarence, appeared human to me and comforted me with his words. He seemingly disappeared and I realized it had been a true miracle in my life. I knew then putting my family first was paramount. Life had to go on and my children needed me more that ever.

I believe we must give our children a wonderful life as best we can. Through the wartorn world now, the children must be at the forefront of every adults mind. The children are the world’s future. They watch us, they learn from us. They can learn love or they can learn that bullying, another word for hate, is okay. Bullying has no place in our world. We must nuture our children as best we can. Just as George’s town helped him thwart the bully with their kindness, every child deserves protection from the hate in the world.

I believe in angels. Knowing that angels are here guiding us in seen or unseen ways gives me hope in humanity and human kindness. For hope and dreams and being kind to others helps our children no matter where they live in our world. Bless the children of the world for they all deserve a Wonderful Life.

Tuesdays With The Angels-Summer of Angels

 Summer of Angels is here. It  is my first Mystic Bay Mystery! Set in the fictitious town of Mystic Bay, Gayle Force, a psychic meteorologist, has a prophetic dream sent by an angel. She must prevent a crime from happening. As in all my novels, a bully must be thwarted and the bully in this novel is no match for Gayle and her detective partner, Alex Knight! With angels at the helm, the bully never wins.

 

Tuesday With The Angel’s-Angel’s Prayer For Bullying’s End 2023

If I could hear all the angel’s prayers, they would pray for our children to never suffer from the effects of bullying again. If I could hear the angel’s prayers, their hopes would be to inspire us in 2023, to  teach all our children to stand tall, building strength and show kindness to others.

As I write my Mystic Bay Series about angels, I know for sure that angel’s prayers flow through my mind. In my novels, the bully never wins and love prevails. How you ask, do I know this? Well, once upon a time, long ago, when I was in tremendous sorrow, an angel appeared in human form and my life was never the same.  Angel’s prayers fill my heart with dreams and writings of love.
