I know magic and miracles exist and have faith in all that is wonderful about this world. Of course when I walk around feeling that way it is wonderful to watch people respond to my energy. It certainly seems like everyone smiles at me and the world is just a happier place.<\/p>\n<p>When I am angry, rushing, surly I often get very different reactions from people. The world really is a big mirror in which our inner world is reflected back to us. So if you are seeing a lot of angry people does that mean you are an angry person?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nNor necessarily, especially if you are able to smile in the presence of their anger. You can be the miracle in someone else&#8217;s life. Years ago I was taking my dog for a walk. I had no money and had just found out I would be losing my job. As I walked along a woman smiled warmly at me and then I looked up at the mountains and I saw a rainbow. In&nbsp; that moment I knew everything would be fine. That woman&#8217;s smile changed my life.<\/p>\n<p>Be someone&#8217;s angel today. Help someone carry their packages, open a door, smile a lot. You may never know what kind of a difference your act of kindness makes but I can guarentee a ripple of love creates far different results than snarling at people as they walk by.<\/p>\n<p>Commit random acts of kindness on a daily basis, be an angel and your life will be a better place to live.<\/p>\n<p>With love and aloha,<br \/>\n<i><a href=\"http:\/\/susangregg.com\/\">Susan<\/a><\/i><\/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<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/\/Users\/susan\/AppData\/Local\/Temp\/moz-screenshot.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I look into a babies eyes I see the presence of angels and feel a profound sense of gratitude, wonder and awe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,23,21,14],"tags":[29,833,52,45],"class_list":["post-386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-angels","category-magical-life","category-miracles","category-prayers","tag-angels-2","tag-faith","tag-magic","tag-miracles-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
