It certainly has reminded me to be grateful for the small things and angels are definitely attacked to the energy of gratitude. Much like a radio station we constantly vibrate at a certain frequency and that frequency in turn attracts people, places and things into our life. <\/p>\n<p>I wanted to share some images of Greece and turkey but Moveable Type won&#8217;t seem to allow me. When I get home later this week I will share all sorts of beautiful images. It was wonderful to see the blending of so many religions and to feel the presence of love and angels everywhere. There are ruins at every turn and a lot of overlay of religions. There was power and beauty in it all.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nI was at the Acropolis yesterday. It was Sunday and many of the local people were out for a Sunday stroll. The energy of families mixed with tourists was sweet. In amongst the bushes there was a homeless man. He seemed to be in a world of his own and I was again reminded to be grateful.<\/p>\n<p>Here we stood in the presence of a once great society, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of a modern city. I couldn&#8217;t help but wonder what we as a society were choosing to create. <\/p>\n<p>On the map of the area I saw there were some sacred caves dedicated to Zeus, Apollo, Pan and a Catholic Saint. I climbed into them and felt what I imagine others felt as they stood there.&nbsp; Atop there were magnificent columns and here there was a quiet, natural energy of, for lack of a better word, connection.<\/p>\n<p>Take some time today and connect with the spiritual realms, embrace your spirit and allow the angels to fill&nbsp; you with their wisdom, grace and love. From that place of connection we can create heaven on earth. <\/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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Angels are attacked to the energy of gratitude.
