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.
