I’ve never doubted the existence of angels walking amongst us. We see them portrayed in the media - and their miracles are flaunted for all to see, like and share. But what about the everyday people? Those with kind hearts and helping hands? The ones that assist others in their journey without expectation of reward?

I have recently been blessed with the support of several of these every day angels. Blessed by their kindness, encouragement, guidance, tough love advice and intimacy of connection.

I feel like these people were placed on my path to help me navigate my way through the tough situation I was experiencing. Their acts of kindness and compassion resulted in friendships that I truly value. And although reciprocity is not expected, positive karma will no doubt look after them.

An extended hand hold with the words “you’re going to be ok”; a recipe metaphor with a toxic result; a car ride to escape one reality and replace it with glimpses of paradise; a proper nice connection - filled with laughter and star gazing… and many more instances of listening and support.

Moments of divine presence that one must be open minded to to fully respect and recognize. These are the blessings… the gifts.

Although some of these connections and friendships may be fleeting. They have each helped to me to come back to my self. And with that return, I feel I have the energy to enrich the lives of others as well. Full circle.

There are truly angels in our midst… for the angel spirit is in each of us and is quietly waiting for us to reach in… and reach out with kindness.
