Jajamensan nu har vår lilla ängel nummer fyra, Susie, varit i farten igen och åstadkommit en SAGA-handling.

I går lämnade hon ett lagom använt 100-kort i huvudentrén på ett sjukhus. Hon lämnade det där det finns telefoner att ringa efter taxi. Kanske någon väljer att åka spårvagn hem istället, kanske någons barnbarn får en gratis tur till stan – vem vet?!

Jag säger tack för rapporten och tack för en vacker tanke som ledde till en vacker handling! <3

I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love.  For me they are the role model for being alive. 

~Gilda Radner

Medlem nummer fyra, Susie vill berätta att hon igår när hon var iväg och fick fotvårdsbehandling lämnade en liten kexchoklad med visitkort i väntrummet för någon lycklig att hitta!

Tack för ett bra SAGA-uppdrag! <3

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into a flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

~Albert Schweitzer

Kindness is the kingpin of success in life, it is the prime factor in overcoming friction and making the human machinery run smoothly.

~Andrew Chapman

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

~Aristotle

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

~Audrey Hepburn, when asked about her beauty secrets

Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

~Benjamin Franklin

Give to another human being without the expectation of a return.

~Bill Bradley

Dogs are miracles with paws.   

~Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy  

Dogs' lives are too short.  Their only fault, really.   

~Agnes Sligh Turnbull  

My little dog - a heartbeat at my feet. 

~Edith Wharton

Health Benefits of Kindness

Numerous scientific studies show that acts of kindness result in significant health benefits, both physical and mental. Here are some key points:

• Helping contributes to the maintenance of good health, and it can diminish the effect of diseases and disorders serious and minor, psychological and physical.

• A rush of euphoria, followed by a longer period of calm, after performing a kind act is often referred to as a "helper's high," involving physical sensations and the release of the body's natural painkillers, the endorphins. This initial rush is then followed by a longer-lasting period of improved emotional well-being.

• Stress-related health problems improve after performing kind acts. Helping reverses feelings of depression, supplies social contact, and decreases feelings of hostility and isolation that can cause stress, overeating, ulcers, etc. A drop in stress may, for some people, decrease the constriction within the lungs that leads to asthma attacks.

• Helping can enhance our feelings of joyfulness, emotional resilience, and vigor, and can reduce the unhealthy sense of isolation.

• A decrease in both the intensity and the awareness of physical pain can occur.

• The incidence of attitudes, such as chronic hostility, that negatively arouse and damage the body is reduced.

• The health benefits and sense of well-being return for hours or even days whenever the helping act is remembered.

• An increased sense of self-worth, greater happiness, and optimism, as well as a decrease in feelings of helplessness and depression, is achieved.

• Once we establish an "affiliative connection" with someone - a relationship of friendship, love, or some sort of positive bonding - we feel emotions that can strengthen the immune system.

• Adopting an altruistic lifestyle is a critical component of mental health.

• The practice of caring for strangers translates to immense immune and healing benefits.

• Regular club attendance, volunteering, entertaining, or faith group attendance is the happiness equivalent of getting a college degree or more than doubling your income.

Vi är glada att du vill vara med. Vi väntar på rapport om SAGA-uppdrag från dig!!

Hello my Angel Friends!

Our Angels are a bridge between us and our Creator.  They try (providing we are open and let them) to communicate a feeling of a "higher vibrational reality" to us.  Everyone who has been touched by an Angel in some way -- be it through a sign or an act of help or rescue -- experiences a feeling of sweetness, wonder and peace.  We feel that something unusual happened, something from a better place, something we would love to experience frequently.

Alas, Angel's can't make our world a better place without our help.  We have to do the work.  That's our collective calling, our collective life purpose for living on this planet.  How can we begin to do this on an individual level?

Maybe we can start, gently, by assuming a new response to some old patterns.  Maybe instead of becoming angry, resentful or bitter in a situation where we have been wronged, we choose to rise above "right and wrong."  Maybe we choose not to enter into the conflict but rise above the conflict.  This is an Act of Free Will.  By choosing to do so we disassociate ourselves with the lower energies that are incompatible with the higher energies of serenity and peace.  This may be difficult at times, and it may not always work, but it is our way to become co-creators of our world.

Be patient with yourself on this amazing journery.  Don't even call it "forgiveness," call it "neutrality." Just tell yourself to try it once.  Take small steps, but know that you are walking a holy path.  By choosing peace you are giving yourself and the world a miraculous gift.  It's an energetic gift that shifts your life energies in a way for miracles to happen.

Do you have a wish that never came true?  By choosing peace over the concept of "right and wrong" you rise to a higher vantage point, closer to a place of "all possibilities," closer to surprises and miracles.  Your Angels will be with you every step of the way on this journey.  It's up to you to take it...  Need any assistance to talk to your Angel?  Give me a call at (949) 859-1943.
