All About Angels
By Colleen Hughes

Angels in Song

No matter how hard angels work, they always have time for a song!

Today’s guest-blogger is Angels on Earth staff editor Meg Belviso.

Sometimes working in an office all day can make me a little stir-crazy. When it does, I usually hop on the computer and find a good song to lift my spirits. It’s a nice reminder of what angels are all about. No matter how hard they work, they always have time for a song.

Soothing Angels

A little drop of hope and inspiration from an unexpected source.

I’ve been fighting a sore throat and on-again, off-again laryngitis for weeks now. It’s apparently viral, so antibiotics won’t help. That job is left to hot tea with honey during daytime and throat lozenges that I pop in my mouth when the discomfort of swallowing wakes me up in the middle of the night.

Sharing Our True Inspirational Stories

We enjoyed a wonderful workshop with Guideposts writers this weekend. Could you be at our next one?

We're still getting thank-you emails from the workshoppers who were invited to our full-day session in Rye, New York, this past weekend.

Our Own Earth Angels

I’m looking forward to this weekend with Guideposts’ very own earth angels: our workshoppers.

This weekend will find me in Rye, New York, with a dozen of our most industrious Guideposts workshoppers. They are contributors who live all over the U.S. and help us find great stories from great people back in their own hometowns.

Some of these workshoppers I’ve known for more than 20 years, ever since I attended my first Guideposts Writers Workshop, when I was just starting out as an editorial assistant. Now that’s going way back!

Inspired by Dreams Come True

Life is full of opportunities to dream big—and heavenly angels and earth angels can help us make those dreams come true.

Today’s guest-blogger is Angels on Earth associate editor Tanya Richardson.

Everyone has dreams, and once in a while we get the courage to dream really, really big. Like changing careers. Starting a family. Buying our first home. Going back to school. Falling in love.

A Vision of Jesus for Holy Week

The kindness and faith of the people who have seen the shadowy image of Jesus at St. Ursuline make me feel like I've seen a miracle, too.

I’m surprised my mother didn't tell me sooner about what people are seeing on a column in the chapel at St. Ursuline Academy in Uptown New Orleans: a shadowy likeness of Jesus wearing the crown of thorns.

Mama is a graduate of St. Ursuline, has a special love for the Ursuline nuns, and keeps up deep friendships with many of her classmates to this day.

An Animal Angel Named Sugar

The remarkable survival story of a white cat named Sugar, who surely had a sweet guardian angel of her own.

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

It took seeing a picture of my little angel Evie to really make me pause and let my heart swell with pride.

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

I was worried when my older brother got a motorcycle, but a guardian angel was watching over him.

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

One Dutch sculptor’s modern take on a little angel touches hearts—and spreads laughter—around the world.

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.
