Sarah,
I and a lot of us like the Angel message. It gives us a few moment to
reflect on what is really important in life. This message may be the
only kind message someone out there will get for this month. We go so
hard and furious with genealogy, it is nice to have a break and one with
kindness with there so little of it shown these days. Maybe you have
had a bad day and everything seems to hit wrong. I know as I have been
there more than once. I hope you will try to see a lighter and gentle
side to this message.
