The Angel Made Me Do It!

A few of my personal stories of how angels have intervened and provided guidance in challenging times.

There are different descriptions of angels throughout different religions, and in fact, outside of religion as well. So rather than trying to explain what angels are, I will tell you a couple of stories of how I feel angels have stepped in and helped me in my life.

That first incident may not have been the first I knew of, but it might well have been the first time my guardian angel stepped in on my behalf. During a recent reading with a fellow psychic, she described a baby in a baby seat (before car seats were a thing) and a woman driving. There was a car accident. In that moment, I knew she was talking about me—my guardian angel had been there. I was the baby, and my mom was the driver. The brakes had failed. My mom lost control, and though the car crashed and totaled, neither of us was hurt. This was in the early '60s, before seat belts were common, and I was just sitting in a flimsy plastic baby seat. I hadn’t thought about that in years. I was too young to remember, so I only knew the story because my mom had told me. But looking back now, it’s clear: my angel was there, protecting me.

Just days before this reading, I had "met" my guardian angel for the first time, though I’d always known we each have one. I had done meditations with other angels and archangels, but this was different. During a meditation, my guardian angel revealed herself and told me her name was Honor. I asked her for a sign, something to confirm her name—told her I wanted to see it in print or hear it spoken by someone else within 24 hours.

The next day, I was watching TV, and a character said, "It’s an honor to meet you." I smiled, thinking that was it. Then another character said the same thing. And then a third. You know how they say signs come in threes to make them undeniable? Well, that wasn’t all. The next show I watched had someone else saying "honor" again. At that point, I laughed and told Honor, "Okay, now you’re just showing off." With love, of course.

Hearing the accident story from a psychic who didn’t know me reminded me again: angels are watching over us.

The car accident might have been the first time Honor protected me, but there are many more stories where I felt that angelic presence, that I share quite frequently. One day, I was in the pool with my daughters. My youngest, Angelina, who was just three at the time, was sitting on the stairs of the pool. She asked to sit on her own, and since she was a good listener, I felt comfortable letting her. As we all chatted, I suddenly found myself moving across the pool to where she was was now floating in the water. I picked her little mottled body out of the water, and she sputtered water out of her mouth a few seconds later. I was in a bit of shock. I hadn’t seen her leave the stairs, hadn’t known she was in trouble. I just knew to go to her. I don’t know if that was Honor that nudged me or if it was Angelina’s guardian angel, but I definitely got angelic assistance that day.

Fast forward to when Angelina was twelve. I was working in my home office, and she was in her room, across from me. My oldest daughter and her friend were in the living room in between us. Suddenly, I felt the need to get up. I walked into the living room just as Angelina came out of her room, hands at her throat. She was choking. Without thinking, I grabbed her and did the Heimlich maneuver. A ball of wax popped out of her mouth. She had been chewing on wax lips that they used to sell around Halloween and was choking on it. My eldest watched in shock, while her friend just kept watching TV, oblivious.

There have been times where I just missed being in a car accident, swerving without knowing why, or I’ve tripped but somehow managed to catch myself before hitting the ground. Each time, I know something—or someone—is helping me.

I’m not alone in these experiences. There are countless stories of angelic intervention in the books I’ve read on the subject. For some, angels are strictly religious figures. While I’m sure they have their place in religion, I believe angels are for all of us. The more we ask for their help, the more they’ll assist us. I call on my angels every day, and I know I’m safer because of it.

I also offer angel readings and would be honored to help you connect with your guardian angel!
