I gratefully acknowledge the support given by my friends Jilly and Colin Fraser-Malcolm throughout the process of writing this book, support that sustained me in body and spirit at every stage. I thank them both for their example of living from the heart in their daily lives, and for joining me in the sending of light and prayer and practising healing with results that seemed nothing short of miraculous. I particularly thank Jilly for her creative input into the design of my book-promotion website and her heavenly meals, and Colin for his constructive comments on an early draft of the book and his help with the many technical aspects of its preparation and final submission.

I would like to thank all those who trusted and upheld me on this spiritual journey, including Jocelyn for her continual lighting of candles in prayerful support. I am particularly grateful to my sons, who naturally and easily accepted the amazing revelation of my communications with angels, encouraging me throughout with their enthusiasm and their belief in positive thinking and working with the power of light.

I acknowledge my three angels, who made their presence known to me, and all other angels who joined in, patiently dictating the chapters of this book.

Finally, I would like to thank Laura Davey, who so carefully and sensitively edited this book so as to present the angels words exactly in the form in which they were given to me.

Dear Angels,

I thought I was an ordinary woman living in Scotland, a single parent, with the worries of all parents, such as wanting my children to be happy and to have the opportunities they deserve in education and future careers, and worries about how I can finance the lifestyle I wish for. I long for the health to be able to live a normal life, and to continue to offer my services in art teaching to those who might benefit from my experience. I fear sometimes for my future, in terms of both health and wealth.

Why have you chosen me to be your scribe? Why didnt you choose someone more confident than me to promote your teachings? I dont know how on earth I can write your book. If I were a clever person, Id know what questions to ask, and which arguments and philosophies to bring to it. It would surely be so much better to ask someone with more brain than me. It seems such a wasted opportunity to be asking me!

For many years I had no particular affiliation with angels, or so I thought. Id seen many paintings of them through my art history studies, but I tended to think they were only available to the very spiritual, to the medieval mind, or to mystics of various times and places.

I always felt my connection with spirit or the power of God most forcefully when I was out in nature in the wilds or on a mountain and wondered why the flowers in those remote places had such beauty.

I was aware that people from all walks of life, including children, would act out of kindness and compassion in the most unexpected circumstances. There have been countless times when Ive felt unwell or in need of some kind of help and someone has come forward without being asked. I always believed there was a power over all, to use the words of one of the Quaker founders.

The presence of angels in my life became a reality to me only very gradually, over a number of years.

My first communications with them were in writing, after a friend lent me a book in which the author suggested making a practice of writing to our guardian angels. At the time I was going through a marriage break-up involving young children, and carried a lot of guilt. I would sit late at night writing to the angels of the various people concerned on differently coloured pieces of paper, then burn the letters in the fire, or out in the garden. I didnt expect any reply, but I did feel that it helped me to focus on praying for the best outcome for everyone involved.

Some time afterwards, I lost one of my young sons in a park. As I realised hed gone and began to panic, I felt a cry go out from my heart, asking that hed be protected by angels until I found him. This was the very first time I was aware of specifically asking angels for help. Instantaneously, I seemed to hear someone speaking in my right ear, though it was more like a current of energy than a voice. It said, Twenty minutes! and I knew instinctively that I was somehow being told not to panic for that length of time a seemingly impossible task. As I waited, I felt as if I was being pinned down by some invisible energy that was preventing me from fearing the worst. I held my other son close and focussed on finding his twin. A peacefulness surrounded us, as if we were in the eye of a storm, and I was very aware of the connection between us, and between the two separated children.

I didnt know at that time that focussing on the best outcome, and sending out light or love from the heart, rather than panicking, was the best thing I could possibly have done. I continue this practice to this day for my friends, or for any situation that needs a prayer, and sometimes my close friends or my sons join me in doing this. Often we have the experience of being held by some invisible force, and of time standing still.

When my son was found, on the river bank, there was a circle of unknown children standing silently round him a short distance away, as if protecting him, without speaking to or touching him, so that he was totally unaware of them. They were very young, but an older boy on a bike was cycling up to every passer-by to ask if they had lost him. I wondered years later if they were angels. The incident happened at Dunblane, where there had been the terrible shootings of children a few months previously.

I held the experience in my heart, and didnt ask the angels in that way again until many years later, when I was once more in a crisis.

Id been unwell for some time with continual debilitating headaches day and night. During this time, one of my sons also became very ill and unable to eat. There were visits to doctors and to the school, hospital appointments to no avail, and seemingly endless waiting for results. I became totally despondent, and was in great fear. Pacing the floor one night, I experienced again a rush of motivating energy with the realisation that there was something I could do! I thought, If they came to help the child all those years ago, theyll come again!

I hurriedly lit a candle in the pink glass holder that I now always use when writing to the angels, grabbed a pen, sat down at the kitchen table, and wrote an SOS: Are you out there? Can you help? Immediately I found myself scribbling an answer. I kept the original piece of paper:
