(An oldie but a goodie!)
Angels come in all shapes and sizes. They are not all celestial beings. Pay close attention to see if there are any earthbound Angels in your life. When you notice those special people, say “thank you!”
Mantra:
I am thankful for the Angelic people in my life.
You might have heard about Italy and other countries like France and Spain being on a total lock down. When I saw footage of Italians playing music and singing to each other while virtually trapped in their houses, I wanted to share it with you all. Our complicated and beautiful species always finds a way to create beauty in a bad situation.
My late grandmother Annie Lee Lighting used to say to me, “Baby, we is living in the end times. You say your prayers every night. You hear me?”
“Yes, Grandma. I hear you,” I would say.
It’s not the end times, but it damn sure feels like it.
Breathe. Turn off the news. Read a book. Play board games. Write what you are grateful for in a gratitude journal. Don’t read social media conspiracy theories. Go out in nature. Spend time with people you love.
It’s time to connect with loved ones. If there’s anything good about all this craziness is that we see how much we all need each other.

My friend Janet once told me, “Turn your pain into art.” Without pain, there is no depth to creative work. It’s empty.
Contemporary examples in music are:
Quoting Mocha Angels Day 69, these artists have transmuted even bitter and heart-breaking experiences and conditions of life into spiritual loveliness.
So take what hurts and put it into song, poetry, photography, visual art, books, videos, or whatever you love.
A friend of mine said the above quote last Sunday. I’ve been thinking about it ever since. February was a most stressful month. In the end, everything worked out, through a mix of hard work, completing all that I had to do, being proactive, and intuition.
I can’t say I was trusting the entire month. It certainly would have been easier had I been.
Is trust the opposite of anxiety? Trust, to me, is the definition of faith. Faith is the evidence of things unseen. You still have to do your part while dealing with a difficult situation, all the while trusting things will work out for the best.
What do you think? Is the opposite of anxiety really trust? Is it faith or love or calm, or something else? All of the above?
Day Seven of work.
An affirmation for work:
“In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole, and complete. My unique creative talents and abilities flow through me and are expressed in deeply satisfying ways. There are people out there who are always looking for services. I am always in demand and can pick and choose what I want to do. I earn good money doing what satisfies me. My work is a joy and a pleasure. All is well in my world.”
– Louise Hay, You Can Heal Your Life
Thank you for reading this series about work. Please let me know if it helped change how you think about your job.
The Work Series:
If you believe you can accomplish anything, you can. Your fears and doubts are illusions. Don’t buy into them. God did not place talents in your heart only for you to be afraid to use them. You have a special purpose on this planet. Surrender to your life’s calling.
Love yourself as you love other people. It is not self-centered to love yourself. Too often people confuse self-love with selfishness. Love is your true nature. Treat yourself accordingly.
I love myself today.
Consider this success mantra as planting a seed that will grow into an abundant harvest. Repeat daily and often.
