"Angels help lead us out of our own darkness and into their divine light" - Unknown
Everyone knows sadness - even the most happiest person on the planet, has felt sadness. We all feel different types of sadness, but for me, I felt like it followed me everywhere. I am not a "sad" person per say, but the light left my face, my eyes didn't sparkle like they should have...because I didn't know the source of my sadness...until one day, it slowly came together.
I would smile, laugh, play along, do things I didn't want to, in hope that it would bring me happiness, until I asked myself..."why just when things are perfect or I am a step away from my goals...does everything fall apart??" Why I asked,did happiness forsake me? Why did it feel like there was a dark cloud hanging around my heart? Why in my dreams would I see a totally different woman than the one I saw in the mirror every morning?? The answers do come if your ready for the truth, and that is the truth spoken to you by your intuition, it is the voice that most of us can't stand, it is the voice that tells you the truth.
I came to see, that life is too short to carry the scars of the words of others...including my own.
A wise woman told me today..." everyone loves a negative story, tell the negative, but also the positive"....that is just what I am going to do.
For all the sadness we see hear and speak, comes laughter, love and compassion. One smile, can transform the mood of another, it is sometimes a hard load to carry, but it is much lighter than carry the load of sadness. With happiness smiling and laughing or being a light person can truly, change you and others.
I know my purpose, I know what I was placed on earth to do...and that is to walk beside people and be their friends, even if it is done with just a smile.
I would like to end this post with a thank you ...
Thank you for bringing me back from the darkness, thank you for believing in me, thank you for showing me that angels walk this earth, thank you for walking with me on this journey, thank you for showing me the colour of my heart, thank you for being my teacher, mentor and friend. Together we shine our beautiful light of love and healing to others...I believe in earth angels, because for me your mine.- Light and love Angie.

Not as in the country, town or city, but where does your mind and thoughts live? Do they live in the fog of the past? The light of today? Or the imagination of tomorrow? I, until recently, lived in the fog of my past.
We all encounter things daily that make us recall past events or people, either with happiness or sadness or even anger. Living with the dead of your past is like living in a cemetery, the memories are there, but you get no answers, and sometimes feel no better having visited. Don't misunderstand me, I visit my dearly departed at their final resting place to talk and in my own way receive their answers, but living with the past strapped to your back, after awhile, can weigh you down. I know how living with past actions, words and feelings have prevented me from living in the present. Living in the past allows you to blame others for your life, instead of taking responsibility for your part in the past. Some people say it is okay to remember and visit the past, so long as you let it go, don't stay, don't linger...because nothing can be changed of what came to pass.
I have finally cut the cord. I waited so long for someone or something to release the ties that bound me to the past, until I realized, only I have the power to cut the cord, and to live in this moment, because this moment is all that you truly have. Think about it, wouldn't you rather be grateful for the family and friends, food, home, job and health that you have instead of holding on to the dead weight of the past? Everyone I think, would rather be grateful than carry the dead of their past.
I have to say, moving forward is a journey, sometimes I feel like it isn't happening fast enough, but with each day, the sun comes out for me, even when it is cloudy, because I faced the past, asked for forgiveness, have forgiven, thanked the ones that loved me and left, blessed the ones that hurt me and place the last flower on the coffin of my past.
So, where do you live? Come out of the fog of the past, don't wait for tomorrow, and know that this day is a blessing and can be all that you want it to be, because only you have the power to create a beautiful memory for tomorrow.
Like the Buddha said..." No matter how hard the past, you can always start again..."
