When I first thought about angles I had visions of ethereal beings, wings and clouds. They are out there and isn’t it wonderful that we live in a world filled with real angels that reach out and touch people’s lives? I recently ran across one of those angels, in of all places, Twitter in the form of #Jobangels.

A man named Mark Stelzner created Jobangels and in a very short period of time people are helping one another find jobs. In his own words,

"The real story is this. I was eating breakfast and thinking about the economy. We were in the throws of a debilitating week of job loss announcements and things looked to be worsening in all sectors. I had been spending a bit of time on Twitter and had accumulated about 700 followers, a large percentage of whom are experts and professionals in the HR sector. So I wondered, what if each of those followers helped just one person find a job? Could we actually make a difference? Here’s the original Tweet:

"Was thinking that if each of us helped just 1 person find a job, we could start making a dent in unemployment. You game?"

The response was immediate and overwhelmingly positive."

I find it very heartwarming to see people reaching out and helping one another. I remember reading stories of rent parties during the depression of the 1930’s. Neighbors would come together and chip in some money to help a friend pay the rent.

What small thing could you do today to make a difference in someone’s life? Be an angel and then pass it on.

I have been reading a book called Woman Who Glows in the Dark by Elena Avila. I have been studying healing for a long time and am really enjoying this book.  It is about being a Curandera, a traditional Mexican healer.

The other night I was taking a bath, relaxing and reading as I do most evenings. Lately I have been having some trouble with carpal tunnel and at times it is very painful. I read a part in the book where she called on St. Jude, the saint of hopeless causes and had a miraculous healing herself.  I didn't think too much of it and went to sleep.

I woke up in the middle of the night with both hands numb and in substantial pain. I called upon St. Jude and rolled over and went back to sleep. In the morning I woke up and my hands felt fine, there was no pain and no swelling and then I remembered calling on St. Jude. I said a prayer of thanks and was really amazed.

This happened earlier in the week and my hands still feel a whole lot better. I never cease to be amazed by the power of prayer, faith and those celestial beings.

i have a post it note on my computer monitor that says, "I can do anything, I have a whole staff of non-physical entities helping me." And so do you, if you just open your heart and call upon them.

I go to Lithuania every September and teach classes. It is an amazing country. I ran across an interesting article on a blog the other day about the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania at Faith and Facts

I love those little synchronicities!

Angels come in all different shapes and sizes. This is the latest angel to show up in my life.
