I never learned how to pray perfectly. I’m not even sure there is such a thing. Last year at my women’s retreat I was the Lay Director. I thought I should be more holy in this position. My prayers have always been a conversation. Recently, I’ve been enjoying the company of the Holy…
Every author has a moment when they wonder, “Am I making a difference in the world?” Last week, I had that moment. And then this happened. Here’s a letter from Christa Rydlewski, a contributor to both Angel Bumps and Heartstrings from Heaven. She received this letter from Yvonne Johnson and I wanted to share her…
I can no longer hide my waddle. I mean it’s not like I can get a Spanx to hold it in place. A cervical collar is just overboard and very hot. Turtlenecks are no longer an option as I live in Florida. In addition, I feel like that would actually work like a push-up bra…

My daughter asked her angels for a sign. She got a double answer. “I asked my angels for a sign this morning,” the text popped up. This always makes my heart so happy to hear these words. My next thought was, “Why do you need a sign?” Before I could ask, an image of the…
I almost missed the inch-and-a-half baby dragonfly in the newly planted sod. I was walking our cockapoo, Miss Mattie, near the lagoon when a small flutter caught my attention. It was so delicate that it blended in with the blades of newly planted sod. When I blinked, I had to refocus to find it…

It happened again! This time it was during a physical therapy session. I am always amazed when and where people show up to share signs about Angel Bumps, their signs from Heaven. My Physical Therapist, Lydia, was applying patches to my knees when she asked what I did for a living. I told…
Lucas’ Grandpa died before he was born, but they are best buds now. Jennifer Meyer wrote on her FB page: Even though we may physically lose someone we hold dear to our hearts, occasionally a light will shine to remind us they are always with us. I sent her a friend request immediately. This…
There are some moments that I tuck away when I meet someone special. I had one of those moments with Jay. He was my daughter’s father-in-law. He was bald and wore dark-rimmed glasses. He always sported a pair of suspenders. His smile lit up the room. He was a congeal man with a gentle spirit….
John Stamos and Meg Prado know the comfort they bring. My kids grew up watching the Tanner family on TV. They never missed an episode of Full House. Uncle Jesse was their favorite. He was handsome, fun, a sense of humor, and great hair. Bob Saget played the role of Danny, a single dad with…
The words hit like a bolt of lightning on my e-mail screen. “My mom is dying. Do you think the amount of sadness is determined by how much you love someone? I must really love my mom,” the next words read, “because this really hurts.” This e-mail from Regina, my friend of twenty years, stopped…
