The question; "Are angels real or imaginary?" The quick answer; Absolutely, positively, without any reservation or hesitation they are real, and they are here!

I was born and raised a Roman Catholic (Christian). I fully embraced and believed what I was taught. My faith and my belief has never, ever been absent. That does not mean either have gone unchallenged, I have had no shortage of opportunities, unplanned events or circumstances that have put both or either to the test.

It is because of how I was raised, what I was taught, that I have always believed in the goodness of man, of right over wrong, that good would ultimately defeat evil. Equality has never been an issue for me because of the firmness in my belief that We are all equal in the eyes of God.

Life is hard, challenging to us all in varying degrees depending upon our circumstances (many of which are the consequences of decisions, we, ourselves have made).

Whatever your belief, I think you will agree, that good and evil exist, and that throughout our lives;  we are reminded of that by bearing witness to acts of both, and by experiencing the push and the pull of both within our own lives.

Every single one of us has a purpose, unique to us, and when that purpose is ultimately discovered, and pursued, wonderful things happen. When that purpose is not found, not realized, we, and the World around us suffer greatly. It is for that very reason, that angels are sent, to watch over us, to assist us, and to help protect us in moments of vulnerability.

They are here, and it is because of them that many of us live long enough to find our purpose, pursue it passionately, and fulfill it. How can I say that, because it is what I have experienced, because it is the only way I can honestly explain how and why I survived / recovered the number of things / events in my life that I should not have survived (or that initially, that I didn't, but then did).

As a result, I found my purpose, and I pursue it passionately every single day. I know I've made a difference; my purpose is to be a positive influence on others, any and every way I can be, but primarily through my writing. For as long as is humanly possible, to that purpose I will be true.

While being true to that purpose, at moments of danger or indecision at the best course of action, and when I ask for guidance, I always feel a wonderfully warm and gentle push in the best direction, followed by a wonderful overwhelming spine tingling sensation that enriches my very soul, empowering me to go on again, and again.

Yes, I have benefited because I'm living my life fulfilling my purpose; to be of positive influence on others. That would not have been possible had it not been the Will of God, and the works of the angels. Believe, have faith, ask for help, open your heart to that which is possible, and experience life as you were meant to experience it, by living it fulfilling your purpose! Your time has come, dare to be you!
