Hi Team!

I'm Maria from Ireland. I've been a member of SparkPeople for a few years now. I must admit I was pretty sceptical about the whole “angel” thing when my massage therapist asked to do some IET with me a few weeks ago. I had a very profound and intense experience, and I've been non-stop researching about angels since then. I'm intrigued, it's absolutely fascinating. I was hurt badly a few years ago in a relationship and, since then, I’ve found it hard to trust and love again. I’ve put up huge blocks but now I’ve come to the stage where I want to tear them down. I hope to learn more about our relationships with angels and I hope mine will reveal themselves to me soon.

Bye!
Maria

My name is Rhoda and I have been a Spark member since 2010. I am a senior who is a published poet - 'Expressions from the Inside Out' and author of a Child's Book - 'No Snow for Johnny'. I love SparkPeople and maintain a blog with articles dedicated to Kitties and Puppies. Yes, I am a huge animal lover and have two Kitties of my own - Max 17 and Gracie 4. I invite you to take a moment to relax and visit my website dedicated to the world of poetry and the love of animals...Expressions Poetry Journal - chesakat1.blogspot.com

I look forward to becoming acquainted with you all - I use to belong to a poetry website and on a posting it was said. "If one prays for 3 day asking for their Angel to reveal themselves to you - they will." Well, I prayed for 3 days and nothing happened. On the 4th day I was going to the local grocery store and right up front was a parking spot available. As I pulled in and turned off my car - in the silence - I hear MATTHEW. That was all. I say out loud, 'OMG, I thought all this time you were a girl Angel and now I discovered you are a boy!' That was about 3 years ago and Matthew is with me all the time. Yes, He is my 'Parking Angel' and even my friends when they go with me are amazed how there is always a parking spot right up from where we are going. I just wanted to share this wonderful event with you all...

Hello everyone!

My name is Penny.

I live in Shoreview, MN. I have been blessed with 3 grown children, 2 grandchildren, 2 dogs and 2 cats. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 25 years.

I have been on this lifestyle journey 3 years ago and lost 40-lbs, but for some reason, I let it all go into the wind. So here I am back and stronger than ever.

I would love any support you have to offer and I am willing to do the same. I am not very fluent in a routine for learning the dynamics of how the spark teams work, so any input is greatly appreciated.

Penny

HI EVERYONE! I AM NOT NEW BUT HAVE BEEN AWAY FOR AWHILE. IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK SO THANK YOU KATHYJO. I HAVE BEEN DOING LOTS OF STUFF BUT PRIMARILY JUST TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE DAY TO DAY WHICH IS GETTING INCREASINGLY MORE DIFFICULT AS I NOW NEED A KNEE REPLACEMENT. THE SURGEON SAYS DO IT AND MY OTHER DRS. SAY "NO WAY"! SINCE I DON'T HEAL, THEY ARE AFRAID I WILL END UP WITH AN AMPUTATION AND THERE IS NO WAY I CAN GO THROUGH THAT AS WHEELCHAIRS DO NOT FIT THROUGH OUR DOORWAYS AND THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN WIDEN THEM. BUMMER!

BUT OTHER THAN THAT LITTLE ISSUE, I AM FINE AND JUST TRYING TO KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON. HOW ABOUT ALL OF YOU? ANYTHING EXCITING GOING ON?

Hi, my name is Deanna and I am trying to get back into the swing of things. I broke my ankle back in October and I put 20 pounds on. My biggest problem right now is my eating habits. It is really hard to get back to eating properly after eating everything I want. I am currently working out 5 times a week. Three days of strength training and 2 days of cardio. One day of my strength training is with a personal trainer so he is keeping me on track with exercise.

Hi Everyone! My name is Sharon, and I've been on Spark for almost 3 years now.
For a good part of my first year i was mainly a "lurker". No not that kind but didn't blog, didn't say much, and read articles, and blogs to in the search for knowledge and to get educated.

It was into my 2nd year that I started to blossom out, and stopped being a wallflower, and started to interact, get involved, and my spark was ignited.

I am honored to have been invited to join this team. As you can see from my profile picture I am partial to angels. The reason I have held back for awhile is that I did not want to become too overwhelmed. You see, I am one of those people who give my all, and if I can't, then I won't do it. That came from my dad. I already participate daily in my other teams. I am looking forward to getting to know each of you and more about you, and I hope that our friendship will blossom and grow.

May each of you follow your dreams and always believe in yourself. Keep your eyes on the stars and hope in your heart. Sparkle On!

I'm Amy, and I have a large amount of weight to lose. I like walking as my primary exercise but as I've gotten bigger, walking for any length of time is very hard for me to do. I'm trying to cut out most processed foods and eat closer to nature. The simpliar, the better.
Thanks

Hello PJ
My beliefs are there is no doubt there are spirits and angels all around us.
I have been dealing with Spirit since I was a child and at the age of 37 I began helping people with their spirit/ghost issues in their homes and business there have been so many experiences I have had there. I had an problem with a spirit and there was a woman that had been with me that was a reiki master she had helps me with the energy and when she had done that I felt my Guardian up to the point I had only felt his presence not seen him this was amazing to me the feeling of warmth and the feeling that everything was going to be ok after that I started working on this and I learned his and her name. I decided to learn all I could about Reiki and took all 3 classes to become a reiki 3 practitioner during this process the one angel I have always worked with through my ghost stuff came in Archangel Michael and I can't even explain the feeling and the beauty. I know work with Archangel Michael and several other angels through my Investigating and my reiki and there are plenty of times were I would be doing a treatment and I would call in Archangel Raphael the healing angel to come and help the client and they do not know this and they will tell me they see him after they describe him to me I let them know what was going on.. The amazing relationship we all have with the angels I wish we could all feel the love .. after working with them I started doing angle card readings and wow they sure come in with the cards and sometimes will give me a message not in the cards to pass on and sometimes their loved ones may also come through. There are so many experiences that my clients and myself have.

Hello guys
My name is kristine and I have been working with the Angels for about 2 years now through my Reiki and the Angel readings I do.. they are truly amazing beings to work with and to be around they are truly unconditional love and if you know how and have to willingness to meet them as well as your guardians they will make contact. Alot of people think they are angels they know what you need and should just step in well that's not how it works we were all born with free will you have to give them permission to interact with you.
