the Dog's Home Alone. Right before we left for NYC, our dog sitting arrangements canceled. We were in a panic. Ben had hurt his back that week, and has only been boarded once for a couple days. At 13, 10 days is a LONG time, completely unsure what to do I tossed it out to my FB village. Within a few hours, a wonderful family volunteered. Ben had the time of his life living in the country and our family could rest knowing our fav Lil guy was safe and spoiled. In Home Alone 2, Kevin receives a set of turtle doves in NYC as thank you for donating to the children's hospital. He shares the gift with a woman in the park who cares for the pigeons as a symbol of their connection. We hope these two little dogs remind you and those you love of your true connection.

The Flowers that Keep Giving. My dad's family sent me the most beautiful gift of flowers while I was recovering from surgery. They were stunning! Maybe it was the flowers? The love? The cooler temps? One week later they were still flawless! When it came time to leave, I placed them on the table with an Angel Delivery note. Our airbnb was PERFECT for us, sparkling clean, and safe. It seemed like the perfect way to thank the housekeeping staff. Sponsor: the Fredericksons

Grow w the Flow. While staying in NJ, we had a neighborhood DJ. Every night, you could count on a fresh new list of music erupting from an old school boom box with some of the best remixes we've ever heard. Every night around dusk the personal neighborhood concert would begin. With good cheer he greeted all the neighbors as they returned home, often he recieved high fives and inquirries on his family. Some angels have a way of creating an atmosphere, composing the perfect sound track for people to live the movie of their lives. Gift included: angel ornament, grow w the flow notebook, and a costume jewelry ring.

Johnnie Park It. Street parking was part of the deal with our airbnb. Circling blocks, trying to follow the rules, Johnnie noticed. Our neighborhood was super welcoming, we felt so at home despite the miles. Johnnie: you realize this is your spot right? Us: ...it says no parking. Johnnie: Yes! No parking unless you are staying there, pointing to our place. This is your spot. Just move your car during street sweep time and you're good. Sometimes the best angels tell you when and where to park it. Thanks angel, for being our Johnnie on the spot! Delivery included: Bobby's world toy (he's driving a wagon) and a trophy.

The Royal Treatment. Pulling into a unusual to us parking lot, that offers "lifted" parking (your car literally rides an elevator) we rolled our window down at the same time as the gentleman next to us. Without missing a beat he says "Pardon me, but would you happen to have any Grey Poupon?" We laughed and laughed together. "I've always wanted to say that!" "I have always wanted someone to ask!" God love an Angel valet with a great sense of humor; Anchillo is one of the best! Delivery included crown, trophy, and a super star stamp.

Huey in the Balance. Angel Delieveries are their own brand of magic. I am just the messenger who delivers them. In my bag, I added an Angel Delivery with a pre-written letter the other day. Surprised I remarked to my husband, that this one is very unusual it is pre-planned - it already belongs to someone unknown to me. Today, I found him. It took 3 pharmacies and a trip into the city to get the antibiotics I needed. But there was my angel shinning as bright as the sun. Walking into the pharmacy, this gentleman w a heart as large as the city, opened the door for me. Exiting, I thanked him again for holding the door, remarking he didn't know how much I appreciated it. I needed to wait 15 mins and return to pick up the script. This time, I was prepared - angel delivery in hand. As I exited a 2nd time, he held the door again, I stopped. I explained I just had surgery and couldn't open the door by myself, and just like an angel he appeared, opening the doors to healing for me, a stranger, twice. We chatted as I handed him his angel delivery. "No one has given me a gift in a long time..." "I don't know how to say this Huey, but God sees you and he sent me as proof. Can I hug you?" "Yes!" And there in the streets of NJ I hugged an Angel named Huey.

The Divine. Al is the kind of nurse you pray to have, good humored and kind. His actions calmed my nerves and brought tremendous comfort. Some angels are nurses, yesterday I met a great one.

The Promise Keeper. We saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child yesterday on Broadway. Seated in the darkness, we could hear the young woman in her 20s behind us completely enthralled with the show - she exclaimed and gasped at all the right moments. During intermission, she leaned forward blushing "I am so sorry if I disturbed you, I get really into it..." I beamed, "No way. It was great! I loved hearing your excitement. That's the magic of theatre." Reaching into my bag, I smiled and thanked her for sharing her joy. Sometimes the best way to take care of yourself is to allow yourself to enjoy life with childlike wonder. Delivery included a "take care of yourshelf" notebook and a fake diamond ring with a thank you cared that said because you once made a promise to yourself. Sponsored by: Jan

9 Dollars. After An extremely tough day, I went into a local shop I havent visited in MONTHS. Ever have one of those experiences when you meet a stranger you know that you were just meant to meet them? A quick chat with the clerk Alex left me feeling like I had been ministered. As we said goodbye, he handed me my $9 in change. WIth Great purpose, I asked him to hold out his hand and counted out the change back to him.

The Eternal Sandwich. A forgotten wallet leads to an opportunity to bless an angel. Lines were long, the person behind me had only a couple items. "Would you like to go in front of me?" "Oh? Yes! Would you you mind? Thank you!" As he took his place in front of me, he turned to thank me again. I smiled as I noticed the two waters he picked to accompany his sandwich. The label read Eternal. As he went to pay for his sandwich, he realized he forgot his wallet. Embarrassed he started to leave. "Excuse me, Sir?" He slowly turned back. "Please don't leave. I've got you." Shocked, he replied "what?". "I've got you." with card in hand I motioned so I could pay. "....Thank you...I have so much on my mind right now, I forgot my wallet. Thank you."

Bold Angel in a Bold City. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses..." there are those who buy and sell houses and then there are angels who help people and animals find and create homes - the difference between the two is striking. Hers is a business of helping other families. She is a shinning example of the power of compassionate community because surely a home w a loving family and a large garden, where understanding hugs are not only for cats and dogs, but also chickens must be heaven. Incl. Doggie pillow cases, a dog figurine, hand crafted box and handmade clay house.

Positively Swearing. Recently, a angel gave me a cool 3D pen confessing when stressed, she loves to doodle swear words in beautiful cursive. When we met a woman making awesome little swear word purses. Without thinking twice, we told her the story and handed her the pen. With everything going on in the world, even angels need to swear a little.

The Fairy Godmother. June lives up to her moniker, the Fairy Godmother, in every way. A magical soul that swiftly arrives just in time with the exact thing you need, sometimes it's art, sage advice, an amazing meal, a warm hug... Her gifts are as limitless as those who love her.

We hope this sign, homemade super hero cape, and crown replenishes some of the magic she gives others because if this world is gonna be saved it's going to be because of the actions of people like her.

The Peanut Butter Cookie. When intuition speaks you carry extra cookies. Meeting a friend for brunch with homemade cookies in tow we met our delightful waiter. When he saw the cookies he let out a soft sigh "Are those peanut butter"? With a huge grin, I said "They sure are; homemade yesterday afternoon." As I put the cookies in his hand, he said "oh I couldn't. They are meant for someone else." "Nope, they are for you. I packed an extra bag just in case." "My mom makes these, with the fork marks just like this..." He said gently.

"On a Roll" This week's angel delivery went to Kasey. Effective leadership requires balance and an understanding that troubled water is inevitable, but if you remain calm, rely on your ability to roll with the punches, it will keep you and your team afloat. We hope this small handmade clay kayak reminds him that all of his diligent effort will continue to take him far.

"Band Aid." Whether it is for a high school band or a band of oil shop buddies, you can count on Kenny to lend aid. He may not always be able to fix the problem, but he is always the first to jump in to help you keep your stuff together while working on a solution as a team. We hope this mobile desk name plate travels with him, reminding him that his efforts are noticed and appreciated. May we all be "Stuck on Band-Aid cause Band-Aid is stuck on me"

"The Super Hero Cycle" Real life super heroes uplift, encourage, and support others consistently by finding ways to infuse selfless service into their daily routine. Their sheer enthusiasm and determination to improve the lives of others is palpable. Capturing that motivation and applying it to educational training materials is no small feat. Jazmin flies above the mundane, shining a spotlight on heroes already living among us, while continually providing support to the next generation.

She's Halva Gal. Diane has dedicated her life to helping our community members obtain social security disability after a major illness or injury.

We hope she enjoyed these homemade Tahini Dreaming cookies as a small token of gratitude for all of her hard work and determination to help our "neighborhood".

"Imagine". Our elder neighbor loves and cares for the wildlife in our area. We enjoy watching his interactions as local wildlife obviously loves our shared space. In my delivery note I thanked them for creating a "safe haven". Imagine my delight, when prior to even seeing the handwritten note, he said "I want you to know our home is a safe haven. If there is ever an emergency, you all can come here. New neighbors can be scary, but I can tell you're good ones!" "Imagine what our real neighborhoods could be like if each of us offered as a matter of course just one kind word to another person." -Mr. Rogers

Friday Feeling. This very special angel delivery went to Virginia. There are moments when you see your reflection in someone else and the view is simply touching.

You are so loved.

By the Bulls Wings. David sees countless people daily at the pharmacy, yet he almost always remembers names and birthdays of regular customers. One of his first patients of the day, he confessed he was feeling a little tired. Knowing his favorite pick me up, I came back with a RedBull - because sometimes even angels need an extra pair of wiiings. @redbull

The Chairman. It was blistering hot and a neighbor had no way to lift the heavy chair up the stairs. Flailing and needing help, Kevin didn't hesitate, even though it was far from easy. Community and neighborhood values are crucial especially when times are tough. We hope this small trinket serves as a reminder that he will always be the building chairman!

Standing with Grace. It takes a tremendous amount of love and courage to bravely stand with grace under the best of circumstances; an angel does this even during storms. Shawana is the personification of tenacious; an indomitable spirit; she rises w poise and compassion to bring art to our city and into our lives. Through her efforts during the pandemic, she even gave us a positive perspective on 6ft by making it a gallery. We hope this 1st print of "I Can Hear Us Laughing" and these two rainbow glitter giraffes served as a reminder that we see your light! Stars always shine, even in the daylight.

"Mr. Roger's Proud." A couple weeks ago, we stopped at an estate sale. The family was handling the sale themselves. We bought a couple things, including a handmade house shaped frame, a crocheted heart, and a fire truck magnet. As we left, we gave our condolences to the grandson who was around our age; choked up he responded "thank you for buying my grandparent's work." Shortly after a fire alarm caused an evacuation of an apartment building where 3/4 of the residents are elderly. Everyone worked together to make sure that every person was out of the building, including the eldest resident. After a quick fix from the fire department, everyone was allowed back inside. We delivered these sweet little treats to each door and the property management. We made cards titled "Mr. Roger's Proud" using the little heart and firetruck magnet from the estate sale. It seemed like the perfect way to honor the "grandparents" whose handcrafts we purchased. Each bundle included hard cinnamon candies and a handwritten thank you note that read "Thank you for being our neighbor! It was wonderful seeing everyone look after eachother last night."

Dr. S. For women with stage 4 endometriosis, this disease is debilitating. It can prevent fertility, require hysterectomies in your 20s, and require a host of reconstructive surgeries due to its invasive nature. Unfortunately, the hardest part of proper diagnosis and treatment is finding a doctor who specializes in it. They are far and few between, often requiring travel. On average women have 7-10 years of suffering and doctor visits with no answers prior to finding a super specialist. Dr. S is a leading force in endometriosis treatment and education. He has plethora of awards including "Most Compassionate Dr." Women fly from all over the world due to his expertise. He is one of the kindest, empathetic, intuitive surgeons. Just like an angel when you have reached a level of unbearable suffering, he appears. This custom painted pop figure, in his image, is small thank you for improving the lives of women, and those who love them. The world has been impacted by his gifts.

The Rotten Pair. When you are really lucky, the universe provides you with a kindred spirit, like Cheryl. Someone whose life path isn't exactly the same, but close enough there is a bond that requires no words because they simply understand. For years, we have admired her passion and hard work to bring music to our community, along with her relentless pursuit and support of our local journalism. We appreciated every ounce of strength, poise, and vulnerability that can only be described as grace. This angel required a magical gift for her journey. This "rotten pair" is meant to be burned. Inside are 3 talisman that have special meaning to her - three metals two's. 222 the numerology for faith. When the flames reach the pear, the yellow fire will change to multicolor flames and should last 30 mins. Just like a phoenix these two are rising from the ashes! It came in secret magical themed box.

Prayers of Saints. Often the most joy filled angels have braved extraordinary flames; brighter still are those who consistently do so to rescue & protect others. This delivery went to a couple of shiny souls who willingly go into the fires every day as civil servants. The day began with a new political chapter, so a wine delivery of "Prayers of Saints" from the Angel of Regeneration is perfect.

On the Fly. Some Angel Deliveries happen on the fly. A quick emergency delivery went to a Jr. high law studies teacher. It takes a lot of patience & passion to field difficult questions & conduct productive conversations; a little chocolate can go a long way in reminding someone that their efforts are noticed & appreciated.

We are so grateful for this paperwork angel who takes such care in helping our community members heal. In conversation one day, I learned these are his favorite snacks.

3 for 1 Coffee Talk. Checking out at a shop, the clerk's exhaustion was palpable. Holiday retail fatigue is real. Exchanging pleasantries, she was only halfway through her shift. "Oh I hope someone brings you a large coffee!" "Oh, I wish they would!" 2 doors down, I went into Whole Foods. Unsure of the store layout, I asked a young man for directions to the coffee station. He smiled and pointed across the store. "Actually that's my department." He quickly finished his chore meeting me at the counter. I told him the story, he broke into a huge grin going out of his way to be friendly and accommodating. I introduced myself so he would give me his name, then made my way to customer service to compliment him. With a large cup of coffee w the "fixings" on the side, I went back to the first store. The employee was so touched. The timing was perfect; she had just gone on break so she could sit and enjoy it. She asked if I would be extra kind and tell her boss; of course I said yes. Her boss was so happy to receive a compliment; it made her day. $2.09 brought joy to 4 people, myself included. Friends, it really is the little things.

Not Strangers, Friends. For weeks, I had been carrying an unknown angel delivery. I didn't know who it belonged to or what it would mean to them, but I knew it belonged to someone. While shopping, I chatted w a woman. We seemed to have the same taste. Laughing, we began shopping together. Janet has only lived here 2 months. After sometime we started to say goodbye, I reached into my purse and my hand landed perfectly on the envelope. I had found my angel. You should have seen her face, as she broke into a incredulous grin. "A gift? You just met me." I smiled, "Yes! For you. I have been carrying this for just the right person since around the time you moved here. You are the one! Thank you for shopping w me; welcome to town. You are going to like it here." Print 1 of The Lifted Veil.

Bear in the Blue Bag. There are times when we meet angels unaware and times when we recognize them right away; but the really magical experience is when you get to see them spread their wings.
