Angels on Your Shoulder

What angels have taught me

Wordle: angels  acronymAloha everyone,

As I thought about writing this post, I began thinking about how my life has changed since I began working with angels. I like playing with words, so I decided to try making an acronym from the word "angels," and this is what I came up with. When I looked at the acronym, I realized it was a list of six of the most important things I have learned by working with angels.

E mbracing
L oving
S urrender

Acceptance: When I see from an angelic perspective, I have the ability to accept life as it is and make choices based on love. Instead of resisting life or fighting what is happening, I can make my choices based on what I do want to create in my life.

Now: Working with angels reminds me to stay in the present moment, and it has helped me to realize that by changing my thinking in the moment and making my choices based on love, anything is possible.

Giving: Angels have taught me that it is only by giving freely, with an open heart that I can truly receive.

Embracing: By embracing what is, I can change my actions. I can learn to act rather than reacting to life.

Loving: Above all else angels have taught me about love, a love beyond judgments that is truly expansive and unconditional.

Surrender: When I surrender the will of my small self to the care, love, and direction of my spirit, anything is possible. By working with angels, I have learned to let go of my limited self through the simple act of surrender.

Try playing with these 6 concepts and watch your life transform. As an added bonus here is a Wordle too!

With love and aloha,
Susan

I look forward to reading your article each day. As I go through unemployment and life changes, your words and thoughts carry me through and remind me of the importance of angels on my shoulder. I go with comfort and joy through my day with peace of mind that my soul is being fed and nourished and the patience that I have had little of has grown to give me the chance to live life as I have dreamt I should.

Thanks so much Laura, I am glad my words have touched your heart. We all live in the arms of the angels and so often forget. Any and all reminders help.

With love and aloha,

Susan:

Thank you you for your explaining what Angels stand for. I love the way you explained the letters. I believe if we make an effort to live
by what the letters stand for we can have a better life.

I have worked with the Angels for years. I believe that they are with us all the time and they are there to assist us in every thing we do if we will be receptive to hearing and listing to what they tell us to do. I love to work with the Ark Angels.

This is my second time reading your information. I want to and will order your lasted book " The Encyclopedia Of Angels, Spirit Guides and Ascendined Masters". Thank you for helping me to get busy with what I have been called to do.

Aloha Bob,

These videos aren't specifically about angels but they are free and they will help you create abundance in your life. I hope you enjoy them. As far as working with angels all you have to do is ask, be willing and follow the guidance.

About Pele
Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of the volcano as well as the goddess of transformation, passion, vitality and creation. Pele is a powerful force on the Hawaiian islands. Shortly after I moved to Hawaii, a friend suggested I have my property blessed. I asked Pele if I could live and work on her land. She graciously agreed, so I always take time to thank her and ask for her blessing in my endeavors.
