All About Angels

November 2011

  • City of Angels

    Today’s guest-blogger is Angels on Earth editorial assistant Kelly P. Gallagher.

    After I learned that I had been hired at Angels on Earth, I was thrilled. But how would I find my way around New York?

    As a lifelong upstate resident, the city seemed like a bustling swarm of strangers. I pored over maps and train schedules, planning my new commute down to the minute. I just had to remember to catch the Port Jervis train.

  • Angels and More Things I’m Thankful For

    Things I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving: My family, of course—mine’s the best. I’m thankful for my job as editor-in-chief of Angels on Earth, where I have the pleasure of discovering true stories about angels, both heavenly angels and earth angels.

  • Guardian Angels, Earth Angels and More

    Sometimes I like to surf around the Web in idle moments, and just now I found myself Googling ... take a wild guess ... angels!

    I was happy to see that Angels on Earth magazine popped up on all the terms I was searching for, but I wanted to see what else was in store.

    Googling “earth angels” got me a cute, contemporary folk-art store, which looks like a really fun place to work, and a dog rescue not-for-profit for those animal angels needing a good home.

  • "Family Circus" Author Bil Keane Joins the Heavenly Angels

    I just learned that Bil Keane, the creator of the widely distributed Family Circus comic strip, has died of congestive lung failure at the age of 89.

    Surely he’s up there with the heavenly angels, after a lifetime of drawing his feel-good, family-values cartoons. Keane said that everything he drew for the strip had happened to him, and it’s no wonder he could churn out endless material after raising a houseful of kids.

  • Room for Angels

    Another day of me not cleaning up my office.

    All week I’ve told myself, Today is the day! When someone calls and asks what I’m working on, I say, “I’m about to clean my office.” And then I hang up and I don’t.
