Whatever does she wonder
When she wanders
Into her own curious mind
But to know what she knows
And to share with joy
Her knowledge and curiosity
As she grows

The Angels remind us that we all have a problem that, when solved, benefits not only ourselves but others as well, if we are willing to not only do the work but share our knowledge, our light, in return. A gift of grace for ourselves and others.

The Angels remind us to cherish and grow our many talents and abilities, and never discount something as inconsequential or useless. We never know when we may be called on to set aside our vulnerabilities and share our talents in a big way for a wanting world.
The Angels remind us that a good cup of coffee and a good friend may not cure all our ills, but they sure do make our lives a bit brighter.

The Angels remind us that each day of this big life we have the opportunity to share something…about ourselves, our knowledge, our hopes for the future. We have the opportunity to create an opening for others to feel comfortable to do the same. It just takes a few people creating safe spaces for others to create the ripple effect of connection the world so desperately needs.

The Angels remind us that all those cracks may have hurt like hell when we first got them, but over time they become as valuable as gold. For we can use those openings to share our light with others, who may not yet be able to see the light in themselves.
When we hold our emotions close, when we’re strong for everyone but ourselves, we may avoid additional pain, but we also close the door for others who may want to be open with us. Allow yourself, bit by bit, to open, even in the face of ridicule or pain. Allows others the gift of knowing both your joy and your struggles.
In the end, it doesn’t matter if you ate the right foods, if you found your perfect career, if you had the proper education, if you were fat or thin, if you were religious or agnostic. What matters is that you had the courage to share the love inside you, with yourself & with the world.
