  • An Animal Angel Named Sugar

    I heard a pretty amazing animal angel story at the gym the other day. A white cat named Sugar fell out the open window of her owner’s apartment on the 19th floor—and survived! Without any serious injuries! Just some minor bruising to the cat’s lungs.

  • Taking Time for a Little Angel

    My daughter Evie has been taking kids' yoga after school once a week for a while now. I took her to her first Thursday class so I could check the place out and meet the teachers and people who work at our community center.

    Afte that, I left it to the babysitter to drop Evie off and pick her up. The yoga studio is in tight quarters and the kids get distracted if grownups stand around gawking, so I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. Besides, I do have to work for a living!

  • A Guardian Angel on the Road

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

    Driving is simply not for me. I failed my first road test, I have terrible luck with cars, and to top it off, I get anxious at the very suggestion of using a highway. I have even kept myself awake at night worrying about the safety of my friends and family.

  • An Unusual Little Angel

    This morning I walked in to a bunch of New York Times newspaper clippings scattered across my desk, each one from a different coworker, every one the same story—about an angel with a cellphone.

    It seems a Dutch sculptor won a 1997 competition to create new statues for the ancient St. John the Evangelist Cathedral in the Netherlands. Ton Mooy, the sculptor, made 40 statues, 14 of them angels, one of them highly unconventional.

  • Angels, Angels Everywhere!

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

    Wow! I can’t believe that it has been three months since I began my job at Angels on Earth. I notice angels everywhere now: in a gold pin on my brother’s motorcycle jacket, in a pattern on my cat’s face—I even find myself constantly looking up information on angels while surfing the Web. I just can’t get enough true angel stories!
