by the sofa, was my rose quartz stone! It just seemed to have dropped out of midair! I knew it hadn’t been there before because I have the wooden flooring that is so popular now and I would have definitely seen or walked on it in the days since I’d lost it.

      I couldn’t believe my eyes and absolutely knew my dad had picked up my vibes and found it and delivered it back to me. I felt so emotional that tears came to my eyes, thanks to the wondrous knowledge that my dad was in the room with me. Although I couldn’t see him, I just felt him there with me.

      Since then I have lost this stone again and had to replace it with a new one. Months later I found it again, though, on my garden path. It was lying there as clear as day. There is no way I could have missed it before if it had lain there for months. My dad at work again!

      I loved this story and it reminded me of a similar experience of my own when I’d lost one of a pair of gold hooped earrings that I’d been given as an eighteenth birthday present and had asked my angels if they would try and find it for me. The next morning there it was, lying on the windowsill with the other one!

      Isn’t it strange how our angels and angelic loved ones can do these things? I guess in the future we’ll have a scientific explanation for it, but for now it’s just a little bit of magic!

      A Visit from an Angel during an Operation

      Sue isn’t someone who likes to draw attention to herself. In fact when she first shared her story with me I wanted to include it in a magazine article and she asked to remain anonymous—as she does here. Sue is her real name, though. She is in her forties, but of course she could live anywhere in the whole world and I’ll let that bit be our ‘little secret’!

      Sue wrote to me after searching the internet for information about angels. So many people around the world have experienced these special beings of light and want to discover a little more, and the internet can be the perfect way of finding out. Sue is one of these people and was kind enough to share her own special angel visit with me.

      It all began with a trip to hospital. She told me, ‘I hadn’t been well for over a year and after many hospital visits they discovered I had a large fibroid which had to be removed.’

      Sue wasn’t worried, as she had already been to hospital a few times for similar operations. The hospital was familiar to her and she wasn’t particularly concerned about the operation itself.

      Strangely, however, on the morning of the operation, just an hour before she was due to have her fibroid removed, Sue felt the urge to walk down to the pay phone and ring her husband and her mother. Something felt different this time and when she walked back to her bed after making her calls, she had the strangest feeling that she had just said goodbye to her loved ones. An ominous cloud descended on her and she found it hard to shake it off. She explained:

      I’m normally such a positive person and I was worried that I was thinking like that, so in my mind I asked for the spirits of my deceased father and brother to look after me. I just wanted to know that someone was watching out for me.

      Sue went ahead with the operation and just a few hours later woke up to find herself back on the ward with her husband by her side. As she opened her eyes she said hello to her husband and then something distracted her over by the window. She was stunned, she told me, to see ‘a beautiful male angel’ looking in her direction.

      The angel began to move away almost immediately and in a panic Sue asked him to stay, but he told her, ‘You don’t need me anymore. You are OK,’ and with that he simply flew away!

      Right away Sue told her husband about her vision, but he simply laughed and put it down to the medication. But Sue already felt so much better she was ready to get up. The nurses told her, ‘You must stay in bed,’ but she had other ideas: ‘I told them I realized I had been cut from one side of my hip to the other and it did hurt to move, but I still felt so well!’

      In fact she was moving about so quickly after the operation that it soon became clear to everyone that something unusual had happened.

      The next morning Sue had a phone call from the surgeon:

      He asked me how I was and if he could come and see me. I got up, washed and waited. When he came to the ward he was quite excited and seemed genuinely surprised to see me up and about. I told him, ‘I feel so well.’

      He explained that the surgical team had actually removed a 12lb fibroid that had been attached to my organs and spine. It had been so big that it had had to be cut away a little at a time. The surgeon told me they had all been amazed at how well I had been functioning once they had opened me up and seen the size of the fibroid.

      It was what he said next that really surprised me: ‘By rights you shouldn’t have been so well. Someone has been watching over you.’

      I laughed to myself and thought, ‘If only you knew about my angel!’

      The surgeon had made a throwaway comment, but in fact the angel had been there the whole time watching over Sue. No wonder she had felt so well—she had experienced a little divine intervention!

      Angel Blessings

      This next story is from writer Michelle Jones. She told me:

      I suppose I would describe myself as a sceptical believer. Just because I’ve had psychic and paranormal experiences throughout my life doesn’t mean that I accept everything at face value. In fact I like to thoroughly investigate each experience to try to find a ‘rational’ explanation. Some things, however, defy that rational interpretation.

      In October 2004, Michelle was given the horrific news that she had breast cancer. After treatment, she says:

      Although my physical body was recovering (I am now recovered and clear, God willing), my psychic and spiritual self was in trouble. I felt cut off and abandoned.

      But Michelle hadn’t been abandoned and had an unusual visitation shortly afterwards. She told me:

      One night in June 2005 I awoke around 2.30 a.m. to see what appeared to be two glowing heads floating next to the bedroom wall about six feet away from me. They were each about the size of a football and had glowing tendrils waving away underneath them (a bit like a jellyfish). As we always have a window and a curtain open at night and there is a streetlight that shines through the window, I immediately assumed that this was an effect caused by light and shadows through the net curtains. However, I was having difficulties with sorting out in my head how these images were made up and so in the end I had to get up and really look.

      Michelle was totally confused, as most people would be:

      First I went over to the windows and wiggled the curtains about and then I tried opening the window further or shutting it completely. This did not have any effect, so I returned to my side of the bed and discovered, to my amazement, that the heads appeared to be three-dimensional! Still, I wondered if maybe I was not fully awake, so I nipped off to the bathroom, turned the light on to make sure I was definitely conscious and then returned to the bedroom. The heads were still there! I stood and stared at them for some time and although I could not make out any features, I was given the impression that these were faces looking back at me. At no time was I afraid of these glowing faces; in fact I felt quite at ease.

      Eventually Michelle went back to bed and to sleep. Nothing else happened that night.
