On a recent trip to California I took a stroll around the resort where my friends and I were vacationing. Rancho Valencia has some amazingly beautiful landscaping and some of the flowers they can grow do not grow well here in South Carolina. When I returned home and ran my photos through photoshop I got […]
I stumbled across this great article “7 signs you may be an angel” by Lesli White. It really resonated with me so I thought I would share this list with you. Perhaps you are like me and believe in angels. Perhaps you have stories just as I do about how angles have helped you in […]
I love angels. I have always believed in angels and can feel their presence in my life. Heavenly angels and earthly ones who find themselves on a mission of comfort, kindness or reassurance. A whisper on the wind, a whiff of fragrance, a glint in the moonlight, a stray furry friend — angels sometimes hide […]

This “Feast Day” always took place on the anniversary of Patrick’s death, which was believed to be March 17, 461 AD. In the early […]
A WISH is the theme for this weeks photo challenge. The suggestion came from Jen’s visit to Japan where in the Shinto shrines people can purchase small wooden plaques called ema, upon which they can share their hopes and dreams. Then, they hang them amongst other ema from people who have come before them, in […]

They have this uncanny ability to read us […]
