I found several<br \/>\nthings interesting. The first was that it purported to be a blog yet there was<br \/>\nno place to make a comment and they general attitude of trashing almost any<br \/>\npositive belief system. My first thought was how sad, how hard it would be to<br \/>\nlive life with such a cynical attitude.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Do angels exist?<span>&nbsp; <\/span>I<br \/>\ncan&#8217;t prove that they do but I certainly enjoy my life a lot more believing<br \/>\nthey do and knowing miracles are possible and even probable. We always have the<br \/>\nchoice of love or fear, faith or judgment.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I guess a better question is, &#8220;Are you willing to allow<br \/>\nangels into your life?&#8221;<span>&nbsp; <\/span>What would your<br \/>\nlife be like if you released any and all judgment, felt loved and safe and knew<br \/>\nyou were a miracle? I can&#8217;t emphasize enough what a difference choosing love<br \/>\nmakes in your life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">So in my life do angels exist? My answer is a responding<br \/>\nYES. When I find myself judging anything I immediately try to see it<br \/>\ndifferently. Just for this week try to see the world through the eyes of love<br \/>\nand see what happens.<\/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>Do angels exist?
