Commemorated on August 22nd every year since 1993, "Be an Angel Day" is a warm invitation for everyone to "do one small act of service for someone; be a blessing in someone's life," as stated in the holiday's slogan. This religious, though non- denominational observance encourages people to do as angels would in serving others and God. The occasion calls for performing acts of consideration and good will for the benefit of particular individuals and within the greater community. Be an angel to an elderly or handicapped person by helping him or her cross the street, pick up mail for a friend or neighbor who is away or ill, feed the neighborhood stray cat, or give your time and resources to a charitable cause or organization. Celebrate "Be an Angel Day" by being a positive force in someone else's life, if only for a moment.

Your activities as an angel can take any form you choose, from very casual acts such as helping someone struggling with a heavy bag, adding some coins to a meter that is running low, and holding the door open for whoever you see approaching an entrance, to more involved activities like volunteering regularly at a soup kitchen, community outreach program, or hospital. Open your heart to the people around you, even if it is through anonymous actions, and watch the impetus to do something for the benefit of others, no matter how simple, spread like fire. Be an angel by extending a helping hand and offering a kind word when the circumstances call for it. If you are on the receiving end of an angel's work, today is the day for honoring them as well. Show your gratitude for the special people that are always looking out for your best interest and never seem to miss a beat when it comes to your needs and happiness. Find your personal "angel" and thank them for being just that.

There was a time when my next door neighbor and I didn’t even speak to each other and went to careful lengths to avoid one another. It wasn’t always like that. When I first moved in, we got along very well. Then I got dogs. I didn’t think they’d care since they always had dogs. However, it seemed that my dogs only wanted to go to the bathroom at the exact point where our yards met – right outside the back porch she had recently added. So, each day when they sat out to eat their lunch on their back porch, they got hit with the stench of my dogs having done their business. No matter how frequently I cleaned it up, it didn’t seem to make a difference. It was a hot summer and it was nauseating to them. There were words said and it just seemed that after that, the pickiness snowballed to the point of not even speaking. I felt alienated and intimidated and resentful all at the same time.

Power

"You now allow yourself to express your power. Being powerful is safe for you, knowing that you express your power with love.

You have all of the power of your Creator within you! All the power of Divine love, wisdom, and intelligence is available to you. You have the spiritual power to see angels and the future. You have intellectual power to tap in to the universal wisdom of the One Mind. You have emotional power to empathize with others, and physical power that is truly unlimited.

The angels ask you to give them any fears you may have connected with being a powerful person. Your angels see a quiet and beautiful aspect of your true power, stemming from the only power in the universe: Divine love. Allow yourself to shine with this radiant love so that your true power can radiate out into the world in miraculous ways.

As part of my contribution for this month's "Be an Angel Day" on August 22nd, I'm offering the following sites that are some of my favorites that quite possibly might make your life a little easier and even more fun. Not all of them have to do with angels but I can assure you, the angels sent them to me!!

We expect to launch the Fourth Edition of the "Trinity Angels Blessings Box" on October 1, 2006. There is still plenty of time to be included!

Sometimes in life it's important to take time out from whatever it is that's your passion and regroup. Most of you are aware that for the past several years, my life has had many twists and turns. Trinity sometimes has had to take a back seat to other things, but I assure you, my love for you and for the angels never has. I dare say that all of the metamorphosis in my personal life is in actuality, a necessary part of the next phase of Trinity. All of us learn from adversity, whether we want to admit it or not, and over the past five years, I've learned through some large life lessons!

In a way, I feel like God has taken me back to the faith I had eons ago when I began to write my book, Silent Prayer. In it, I chronicled exactly what took place when I literally had no choice but to hold on to The Blessed Mother for dear life. There was nothing else I could do. The result became miracle after miracle culminating in the birth of the greatest joy of all, my daughter, Casey and subsequently, the birth of Trinity Angels.

Over the past years, I've had to step back into the "holding on for dear life" roll again. At the time I didn't realize it, but I know now that it was all because of this site and my genuine desire to make it bigger and better than ever before.
