There were many angels who helped us during the process of completing our second Angelspeake book.

There were housing angels who put us up (and who put up with us) as we traveled throughout the country. Thanks to Susan and Tom Carter, Carlos Laster, Molly Yowell, Laura Watson, Sue Storm, and Pat and Grigs Markham for the loan of their Vermont condo when we needed a place for isolated inspiration.

Thanks to the many teaching angels who have, in some way, taught us how to write a book or what to put in it: Geri Norrington, Millie Landis, Geneva Gorsuch, and Elizabeth Brown.

We have had plenty of earth angels who helped us with this book and throughout our lives, such as Jerry Mark, Gillian Drummond, Linda Engstrom, John Heise, Linda Engstrom, French Wallop, Virginia Callahan, Rabbi Judith Schindler, Kathirswami, Bhuchung Tsering, Zak Chaudry, Celeste Kelley and Bryan Jameison.

Bless our angel children, Caroline Griswold, Katie Griswold, Michael and Roema Mark, Suzanne Mark and her husband Joe Coco, and Stephanie and Monte Roberts. Thanks, kids, for the unconditional love with which you support us.

We thank our angel sister, Jackie Anderson, and her daughters, Regan, Raena, and Rhyan. Thanks, girls, for being so fantastic to Aunt Trudy and Aunt Barbara.

Many publishing angels led us through from first word to The End. Our agents, John Sammis and Ron Jaffe, helped us clarify our message. Thanks to our Simon & Schuster support team who kept us on track: Dominick Anfuso and Holly Zappala, and Ana DeBevoise, who put together a million details and is the most organized person we know. And finally, a special thanks to Bob Griswold, editor extraordinaire, whose writing skills have always enhanced the message of Angelspeake. Thank you, Bob, for always saying Ill do it.

All of the encouragement angels who know us, have hosted and attended classes, and have helped us through your cards, letters, phone calls, faxes, and e-mails, we thank you with all our being. By sharing your time and personal angel experiences with us, you have helped more people than youll ever know.

And, of course, our angel angels, John/Paul, Joshua, and Gabriel, who have helped us truly understand that life IS good. We are blessed.

This book is dedicated to Chris Heise and Frank Smelik

and to all who seek God through the angels...

on both sides of life.

L ife is good. When life feels bad, it is because we are not good in it. This is a book about having a good life. This book is about balance, reconciliation, and about tapping into the goodness life is.

God is good. God gives us life and God loves us. When we are apart from the goodness God is , when we try to run our life our way, then life becomes difficult. When we let life happen, when we surrender, when we reconcile with all the goodness God is, with the help of His angels, then life can be everything we decide to have it be. We can have a good life in spite of the most shattering event, the most dire trouble, fear, pain, or difficulty.

Life is not easy. Do not confuse good with easy. Our personal lives today are not easy, but they are very, very good. How can some people survive awesome difficulty, sickness, financial ruin, or death of loved ones, and rise to a place of serenity, understanding, and even joy? How can the most ruinous situation become the avenue to finding a good life? A great life? A life filled with peace? Can you do it? Can you turn your life into a joyful experience? Can you heal yourself and find a God who is loving and helpful? We say, yes, you can. The difference is having an enthusiastic and joyful attitude and a willingness to allow your angels to help you solve daily difficulties as they arise.

This book is about working with life. Angelspeake was about how to communicate with divine beings. This book is about how to use these same beings, once you have contacted them, in order to find a more joyful existence, to find a balance within yourself, and to form new attitudes toward yourself and God.

Life is good, and learning this truth is not going to be hard to do. Gods angels are standing right beside you, as you read this line, waiting to help you. All you have to do is ask for their help, believe it will be given to you, let them help you, and then say thank you for the goodness that happens.

We know now that our angels didnt come to us because we were special, but rather because we were not. We know now that many other people are being awakened around the world. We also know we are no different from you, and thousands of others who are reading this book.

We have never seen an angel or been plucked from the jaws of death. We are simply two sisters who, for some reason we may never fully know, were awakened by their angels. We were ready to listen when we first heard their message and we have continued to follow the guidance we have received from our angels every day since.

Angels help us in every way imaginable. They are messengers of God and do what God wants them to do. There is nothing they cannot do. At our first class we were asked, Who do we pray to now that we know our angels? The answer is God! God! God! When we pray, God responds through His angelic realm.

Over the years, we have formed a partnership with our angels and have found that our lives are happier, easier to manage, more abundant, and fulfilled. We have been taught by our angels, loved by them, led by them, but mostly, encouraged by them. What they told us would happen, has happened. Not always in the way we imagined. Usually better. From being full of doubt and skepticism, we have built a relationship of trust and friendship. We truly love our angels, feel their love in return, and cannot imagine our lives without them.
