About three weeks ago, I got a message from the Holy Spirit. There was a child I would meet and she needed a special message. I’d know this child when I saw her. I’d volunteered to serve at Pinellas Hope homeless shelter so I presumed the girl would be there. As luck would have it,…

I Am a WOK
For the past few nights, I’ve been making various veggie woks for dinner. It makes me feel healthy and I can take out all my frustrations chopping asparagus, green beans, carrots, onions, red peppers, broccoli and cauliflower. All those passwords I forgot…CHOP! Those thirty pounds I didn’t lose…CHOP! That budget I never kept…CHOP CHOP…
A Hallmark From an Angel
Enjoy the first story in Heartstrings from Heaven by Ronna Martino When my dad passed away, I was heartbroken. A day didn’t go by that we didn’t speak on the phone. I just wanted to call and tell him so many things after he passed. I cried the entire day of his first anniversary….
Heartstrings Never Tangle or Get Severed
Exciting news! Heartstrings From Heaven, Book 2 in the Angel Bumps Series is here! I’m dancing as I write this. Publishing is much like having a baby. For months you edit, rearrange stories and make adjustments. Then one day, the publisher sends you a final copy of the manuscript and it’s time to push that…
Holy Moments, Jokes and Ice Cream
I recently saw a sign that read, BE THE CHANGE. I contemplated this for a few days. What kind of change could I make? Spanx have already been invented. Teeth whitening gels are readily available. Wrinkle creams are on every store shelf. Then a voice asked, “How superficial are you today, Anne?” I…
Chatting With the Holy Spirit
Just about six months ago my church women’s group began planning our fall retreat. We sat in a big circle and each prayed for guidance to assume a role. This part is always interesting. Women sign up for roles they never thought they’d take. They are always shocked when they speak up and Bam! The…
My Spiritual Guides
Occasionally, I get a hankering for a spiritual message. I’ve heard meditation might open the channels of my mind to provide such an answer. To date, the messages I’ve received have been centered around the weekly flyer from the grocery store. I will say that it’s the calmest I’ve ever felt, making a mental grocery…
Turtle Whisperer
Even turtles leave their eggs in my daughter’s care. My oldest daughter is a baby whisperer. While some parents dread the terrible two’s. She loves them. Currently, she is a teacher at a preschool for you guessed it, the two-year-old room. Children who cried every day when they were dropped off for school, now cry…

Allergies and God
I hate sneezing! It’s loud and messy, and there are always more than one following the first. Yesterday I sneezed with a mouthful of oatmeal. Guess how that went! I take allergy medicine daily, but last week I forgot to pick up more at the store. I was sneezing and sniffle-free for three whole…
Angels In the Air With An Autistic Child
A man was obviously excited about his flight. He filmed the story from the parking garage on a Tic Tok video. He smiled the entire video and even got choked up telling the story. He described it as “the most incredible experience.” He was boarded and buckling his seatbelt when a mom and her very…
The Ugly Baby
When my oldest daughter, Erika, was eight months pregnant, her hormones were rocking and rolling. She called one day in tears. “Mom, what if I have an ugly baby and no one tells me she’s ugly?” she sobbed into the phone. “Who would have the heart to tell a mom that her baby is ugly?…
12 Days of Hormones
I went to my doctor this week to get my hormone levels tested. Don’t you know, my progesterone is very low. I am convinced that this is the hormone responsible for working out, keeping the house tidy, and creating delicious gourmet meals. I think it may even have some control over sexual desire attached to…
