Angels Among Us

“We are, each of us angels with only one wing: and we can only fly by embracing one another.” ~ Luciano de Crescenzo

There are angels among us.  They show up just in time and come in various shapes, colors and sizes.  The love and support they bring allow us to endure and overcome.  We also have the ability to be angels in the lives of people that we touch throughout the day. The truth is that life is wonderful and we are all challenged to carry that news to others. An unbelievable multiplication of energy occurs when this message becomes a part of our personal mission statement.  Our workplaces and organizations will become angelic forces themselves.  The communities that we live in are lifted up by our shared good works.

It is certain that there is an incredible amount of good that we can do as individuals. Joining with others and networking, however, allow our efforts to reach levels that we could never achieve on our own. We move from walking a solitary path to flying in formation. Light shines in the midst of the darkness through our combined interventions. Today is a good time to seek the counsel of like-minded people. It is a good time to enlarge our efforts. And right now is a perfect time to carry the message of kindness, gratefulness and good cheer. Remember... Life is wonderful. Now there is a mission statement for all of us one winged angels to carry everywhere we go.
