She stands about 2 feet tall and is on a table right behind me. When I sit down at my desk I am very aware of her, but after a few hours on the computer I can forget all about her. As I see her each day I remember for longer periods of time. As I write this I can actually feel her presence.<\/p>\n<p>Does a metal sculpture have a presence in and of itself? Not really but the symbol does. It reminds me to be loving and gentle in all my communications,first with myself and then with other people. Make a resolution this year to approach everything in your life with love and watch miracles happen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/2011\/06\/welcoming-the-angels-home.html\">Calling the angels into your home<\/a><\/p>\n<p>With love and aloha,<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"http:\/\/susangregg.com\/\">Susan<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n<p>Make <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/\">Angels on Your Shoulder<\/a> part of your daily routine and share it with a friend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How are you doing with you New Year\u2019s resolutions?

She has written eight books including the award-winning \"Mastering the Toltec Way\" and \"The Encyclopedia of Angels, Spirit Guides and Ascended Masters.\" Susan completed an apprenticeship with Don Miguel Ruiz, author of \"The Four Agreements,\" and she has been exploring spirituality, human potential, and the nature of physical and metaphysical reality since the early 1970s. Her greatest passion is showing others how they can be happy, no matter what is going on in their lives or in the world around them. This passion has resulted in her creating a podcast, \"Food for the Soul,\" and numerous video meditations. Susan's spiritual journeys have also taken her around the world with students she teaches. Currently, she lives on the beautiful island of Hawaii where she is an avid gardener, hiker, and writer. She often spends time playing with the numerous four-legged friends she's rescued or swimming with the turtles and wild dolphins.
