When an Angel Visits

When an Angel Visits
Beliefnet

The other night I had a dream that my grandfather was here. I had a dream he was standing right infront of me and when I woke up, I couldn't shake the feeling that he visited me. This is kinda impossible since my grandfather passed away almost two years ago. He passed away after a short battle with cancer and that experience of losing him has shaped my life greatly.

My Papa used to tell me he was proud of me. He would say "Proud of ya" to me when I would do well in school or accomplish something new in life. I've always said I have the best guardian angel looking out for me all the time. Recently in life things have been going really well and I can imagine his voice now if he were still here. I can hear his laugh and his family dinner time prayers. I can still smell his amazing italian food that nothing will ever compare to.

Through some recent times in my life that decided my future, I wore a necklace my Papa gave me. It's a beautiful cross and it reminded me of his compassionate and honest ways. It reminded me that I have the best guardian angel looking out for me and no matter how my life turned out, I knew I was making my Papa happy. I know he is looking out for me and protecting me from anything or anyone that is not meant to be in my life. With these new amazing things happening in my life, I knew my guardian angel was looking out for me. I knew he guided my actions and words to exactly what they needed to be.

When I woke up from my dream the other night, it felt real. It felt as if my Pop was really there reminding me of how proud of me he was. It felt real. So when I asked my mom is she believed that people who have passed away could come to us in dreams she answered absolutely. I started crying at that moment as I realized my Pop had come to me for the first time since he had passed away that I knew of.

So if you ever doubt that someone who has passed away is looking out for you, know they are. Know they are guiding you every step of the way and are looking out for you. Just because they left Earth doesn't mean they aren't still in your heart.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
