About Angel709
I’m a lover of multi-media as my vehicle of choice for effective communication, language, and fine arts. I enjoy being a mother of three, and hope to continue to write and publicly speak to those who are in search of truth, hope, and fulfillment. I believe we are co-creators with God and I have awakened to live my life ‘on purpose’.
When I speak/teach, it is full of humor and light-heartedness. Writing is my passion tool and it can take a more serious approach. I’m relieved to finally be navigating around the writer’s block. I write about things that interests me that include natural and spiritual healing, mind-body connection, mind renewal, supreme health, faith, spiritual roots to all problems, love, relationships, life puzzles, philology, living WORD, integrity, character, values, morals, purpose, and TRUTH.
As I write, my intention is to express what God has put inside of me as a gift to others, and in hopes that I will find “my people”–those who seek out integrity, wholeness, and living a supreme life.
Your comments are welcome.

Hi Angel, Bob Stickles here wanted to thank you for your kind words. I don’t know if you were a sign from God or not. But i was thinking about stop writing for my blog. I just got my last two post from my editor which does cost me money and I am finding it hard when it seems people either don’t understand or don’t want to understand or to busy running and walking and swimming for a cure.
You are the first person that I found that understood what was written on those pages. I spent twenty years of my life not sharing my illness with people now when I have I wasted twenty afraid to write my story down, know one really cares.
Even my own family does not want to understand or better yet can find five minutes in there day to find a cure for themselves. Never mind about my stuff Angel thanks again

Bob,
Take it as a sign from God and do not stop writing your blog. If need be, prayerfully consider allowing me to edit your posts as I will not charge. Freely have we received, freely we are giving. You have overcome Crohn’s Colitis and now you are facing your next life challenge. Another “giant” we face in the world…old mindsets and the commercialism and western-style of treating symptoms that has helped shape these rooted behaviors.
I’ve heard it said that some doctors know “diet and exercise, and meditation” works, but they assume many won’t discipline themselves long enough to get those life-changing results. We (as society) are too busy slaving away on the job, worried about this and that, and being busy for busy sake, and thus “just give me a pill doc and make IT go away so I can return to the rat race.” IT that we are attempting to remove is that messenger trying to tell us something about our lives. IT is a gift, a sign, a warning we are on the wrong path. IT begs to be reckoned with.
If I am the first person that truly understands, Bob, then KNOW there is a second, and third, and fourth. Like I replied in your blog, if you are “one in a million” then count me in as “number 2″, and let us keep writing until number 3, 4, and 5 are discovered. Like you, I had no leader; we are pioneers in our own rite, and a leader’s role is always the most challenging. Just as Crohn’s was a mound of self discovery and perserverence, so is reaching out to the lost. Not everyone will listen, is ready to listen, or even wants to listen; but for every one of those, there is an angel. There is someone like you, like me, that cried out for answers and didn’t give up. You owe it to that “ONE” to tell your story. I care. They care. You care. And that matters.
I also remember my vow in the midst of my affliction…I prayed that God let the suffering be for a good cause. If I had to go through “this”, at least let it help someone else so it is not in vain. I promised, if I had truth at my fingertips and an answer to the torture, I would tell it. I didn’t put the stipulation of if they would listen. I know the pain of confusion, discouragement, and defeat all too well and I wish it on no one. Us telling our story is the “token of gratitude” we render for our knowledge of healing. We do it not just for others, but as acknowledgement that we believe it is a gift to everyone that will receive. We also do it to continue our own healing journey.
We all know that family rarely understands our walk down a different path. I was always known as being a little “sensitive” Interpretation? eccentric, crybaby, and some even accused me of being spoiled. From my eyes, I was hard-working, always willing and trying to please and measure up to be seen as one of the family…not “the baby” or some oddity. The more I tried, the more I was misunderstood and appeared to be “spoiled”. (I digress)
My point is, I have used the phrase for many years, “I am looking for MY PEOPLE”, yet I must honestly say, I almost brushed off your request to check out your site. I am glad of divine intervention and my character to always try and “give folks a chance”. Family comes from many different relatives. I never wanted to be clumped with other “Crohn’s sufferers” yet they are to whom I can probably relate. Even those within my family who have some kind of digestive challenge do not find my methods “RELATIVE”. Yet, I was blessed by your words and would’ve missed a grand opportunity to have a prayer answered to meet MY PEOPLE. We are not alone. I have 1—count it…1 faithful reader that found me on the blog. But she is worth 1,000 readers who may come and go.
So please, be encouraged, stay encouraged! I’ve read the replies on your site and folks “want to get it”, stay patient. After being DRUGGED in society for so long with media and one-track methods, it is taking a while to become coherent and learn to know truth when we hear it and think independent of commercials, hype, and what seems to be convenient.
Again, I extend to you my natural God-given talent of editing if you desire. Your works would be held with the highest of integrity, just let me know what I can do to help.
kindest regards,
Angel709
