As a freelance art director working from my home, I was extremely busy with mountains of project work and raising two small children. But I was managing to find a balance and in my spare time I was reading a lot, mostly spiritual books about meditation and angels.
One afternoon, with one of the girls at school and the other at the babysitter, I was focused on a looming project deadline with many last minute details that needed to be attended to. At what seemed to be the absolute worst timing, I was suddenly hit with a migraine headache. It was a big one, the kind that takes two days to recover from. The medicine that I took didn’t help at all. The pain was severe and the sensitivity to light and sound made it difficult for me to function.
I had no choice but to lie down in my bed and wait it out. As I lay there, I prayed to my angels to please help me because I needed to get this work done. Moments later, I felt a hand softly move from my forehead and over my closed eyes and then lift off my face. The sense of compassion and care was palpable, and then the pain was gone.
My eyes popped open wide as I realized what had just happened. I immediately called my friend who had been studying about angels with me and shared my story with her. We were both amazed.

Curing of Alcoholism
Through Bridget, my angels told me that I am someone who tends to hold myself back from others – that I forsake my own leadership because I feel bad about leaving others behind – and that I should go ahead and take the lead knowing that others will follow. I started to cry when I heard those words, as I am while writing this, because in an instant, I felt more known and more seen than I had ever felt before. There really was someone looking out for me!
So when I called Bridget one afternoon and the first thing she said to me was that my angels wanted to cure me of my alcoholism, I was astonished but open to anything. I had learned from Bridget that my angels could remove certain obstacles or patterns of behavior as long as I agreed. I hesitated to say "yes" to the cure since I had come to believe that I'd be an alcoholic in recovery for the rest of my life. Then I remembered that the AA Big Book says that "no humanly power" could cure me of my alcoholism, and here was a heavenly power offering to do just that. Bridget also let me know that my angels can do anything.
It's been almost four years since that day and I have not had a problem with alcohol since. I rarely drink and most of the time, I don't bother about it at all. I got complete with my AA community, with my friends one conversation at a time, and with AA as a whole when I announced my being cured at my home group. Some people congratulated me, some people wished they could have the same miracle, and some didn't believe me at all.
Forgiving an Abusive Parent
A life changing miracle occurred for me at a spiritual workshop. I asked Archangel Michael to help me totally forgive my abusive dad. He granted me a vision. I saw my dad’s fist coming towards my face, then all of a sudden the fist turned into a hug and my dad said “Jim, I love you”. I immediately started crying. This image helped me to release the abusive behavior and in that moment I was able to completely forgive my dad. I believe working with Archangel Michael has changed my life. I am seeing myself as a truly wonderful and loving person and I have no doubt that there will be more miracles in the future.
Jim Allen, Portland, ORAngels Riding With Me
I had an incident that occurred a year and a half ago, but is still fresh in my mind. It is a night that should have ended with me seriously injured, even dead. The fact that this did not happen I can only attest to the angels in my life. Before I describe what unfolded, I want to mention a bit about the part of the angels in my life. I grew up Catholic, but angels had no more significance for me than that of characters in some mythology. Later, I fell in love with science and spent eighteen years working at NASA Ames Research Center. In order for me to believe in something, it had to make sense to me. I had to be able to at least at some level understand the origin as well as cause and effect of anything that happened or existed in life. I would not accept phenomenon at face value, and I figured for good reason as many people have been misled or hurt by misconstruing or not understanding why events in nature work. Yet all my life, deep in my heart I was struggling for a stronger spiritual connection with life and God. I could not seeming hold on to a pathway that would satisfy that urging in me.
Then Bridget came into my life and gently and persuasively, she opened my spiritual awareness. In May of 2002, she introduced to me the angels in my life. I felt within the fiber of my being the truth of such and my readiness for this information, and surprisingly it was not a big leap for me to learn to accept. I came to see the angels not as middlemen to God who would do favors for me, but as guides in my life, to apply to my life that would lead to increased happiness and awareness. As never before in my life, I committed to working with them and seeing them as the voices of love and light of God. Gradually but perceptibly, my life became more enhanced. I now felt more connected with my environment, both physically and spiritually, and my confidence in my own success grew.
Now that fateful night for me back on October 5, 2002. I was cruising down Homestead Road in Santa Clara on my way to Bridget's home when a car in a leftturn lane facing me decided to go for it just as I entered the intersection. I was traveling about forty-five miles per hour when I crashed into the car head-on. Looking back, it seemed so surreal. I had perhaps a fraction of a second from when I saw I was going to hit the car to when it actually happened, yet I remember thinking about Bridget, my children, and my friends. I don't think I had enough time for fear to set in, but I remembered feeling irritated. Then bam! I flew so hard and fast that it seemed within an instant I was on the ground. I never lost consciousness and my first thought while lying on the ground was a plea that no one would run over me. Then I started gingerly touching my body and was surprised there was no pain. I tried moving and that was no problem. I then stood up and saw the lady getting out of her car, her face as white as a ghost. I looked at the motorcycle and it was crushed. Apparently I had a death grip on the handlebars and the force that ripped me from the bike was so strong I had bent the hardened steel of the bars. I more closely examined myself and I couldn't find anything wrong. I couldn't find a scrape, let alone a broken bone. I was wearing slacks and a jacket along with my helmet, but not a stitch of clothing was torn. I was shocked. The police arrived and they later told me they were expecting a corpse, or at least someone terribly injured. I was told that the vast majority of motorcycle accidents end in serious injury or death, and that at least something happens to the rest. I had no cuts, bruises, or raspberries. I could see the immense relief in the face of the driver who collided with me.
Now I must say that I remembered what I was thinking going down Homestead Road that night. On a motorcycle, there isn't as much to distract one as in a car. I didn’t have a stereo, cell phone, or someone talking next to me. While driving along, I had elected to connect to my angels. I felt a sense of surety and calmness prior to the accident and I was enjoying my private conversation with them. The peace I felt was palatable. Then immediately after the accident, while sitting on my butt in the middle of the street, I could feel even stronger the presence of the angels surrounding me. I was told that it wasn't my time, that there was more for me to accomplish, and that things would go very well for me. I wasn't in the mood to argue. To say the least, it was prophetic. Shortly after the accident, my income began rising and other opportunities arose. My relationships with those I love markedly improved. My health became stronger. Given the miracle that occurred for me that night, I cannot come to any other conclusion that the angels in my life are truly guiding me. It isn't to say that it couldn't have been my time, but I cannot explain it in any other fashion. And the real miracle for me is how they taught me to engage my life more fully, not to sit back and wait for things to happen. It is almost as if I have a team of coaches supporting me. My life now seems so truly blessed, almost magical, but I know that I had some very real help that anyone can tune into. I will always look back at that night as a very pivotal evening in my life.
Steven Kiefel, CAMechanical Repair
We were experiencing an intense heat wave and right when this heat wave occurred, my air conditioning decided to stop working. I immediately called the repairman, who said he would be over by 5pm that day. He did not show up and I was feeling very lethargic and unable to work from home in the heat. The next morning I promptly rang the repairman to hear lots of apologies and promises that he would be over that day; again he did not show up. I called all of the other repair companies, but the next available appointment was days away. By this stage, I was feeling so frustrated and drained that I broke down into tears and sobbed my eyes out. After I stopped, I started laughing to myself as I had forgotten to ask my angels for help. I invoked Archangel Michael (who helps with mechanical repairs) to please come and assist me. Much to my utter delight, within five minutes I heard the air conditioning start up and the cool air started flowing through the house.
Bridget Engel, CAI was speaking with my mother on the telephone in New Zealand and she was feeling very worried about her older Siamese cat named Chico. One of his back teeth was rotten and he had an infection in his mouth. We carried on with our conversation and when I got off the phone, I asked Archangel Raphael, the Angel of Healing, to assist Chico. I later spoke to my mother, who said that shortly after she hung up the phone, Chico made a loud howling noise. She wrapped him in a blanket because blood started to gush out of his mouth – miraculously his rotten tooth had fallen out. He wiggled out of her arms, went to his food bowl and started eating. She also told me that the awful smelling infection from his mouth had also healed.
L. Turner, New ZealandRecently I was traveling with my dog in the far north of California, in a very isolated area up near Lava Beds National Monument. Driving a new car, I misjudged the gas mileage and realized that the fuel was getting very low. In fact, the trip computer said I had ZERO miles left to empty, even though the nearest town was about twenty miles away. I belong to AAA but had to wonder if my cell phone would work in this remote location and it was already getting late in the day. Why was I so stupid?!
Remembering the power of Archangel Michael, I entreated him to please help and not let me run out of gas. I felt a wave of peace and re-assurance wash down on me as if my prayer was instantly being answered. I continued driving without fear and reached the nearest town where I was sure a gas station awaited. Just in time, too, because I was running on fumes by then. I spotted some gas pumps outside a general store and drove straight over to fill up.
Imagine the shock when I read the sign outside: “ No gas, pumps empty.” Immediately I gave in to fear, thinking in a panic “Hey Michael, what’s up?” But I swear it was not more than ten seconds later that a handsome young man pulled up in an SUV, rolled down the window and asked if I needed gas. “Why yes, I’m completely empty,” I replied. He instructed me to follow him to his farm a short distance away where he had his own supply, as farmers often do. I followed and was soon getting enough gas to make it to the next town.
I swear there was something strangely regal about this fellow and I asked why he just suddenly appeared like that to help me. Just needed something at the store, he explained. I told him he had turned up just like an angel and thanked him profusely, but he just smiled and waved goodbye as I drove off. But to this day I still wonder if angels really drive SUVs.
Mark R. Willams, CABingo Winnings
I have always believed in angels but had not experienced their influence until just recently. Bridget has always encouraged me to ask the angels for help in any situation. A couple of weeks ago I went to my weekly bingo
night and having not won in a long time, I asked Archangel
Michael for help. That night I won $1200.00. The next night I
said out loud, “If my asking for help and then winning was just
a coincidence, then so be it but, if it wasn’t, I would love to win
again. And if there’s any way to indicate that you’re the ones helping, that would be great.” One game later I won $750 on the same game that I had won the night before and bingo’d on the same number! The next week I asked again and won another $250. Since then I have asked for help every time and have not walked away without winning. I have also been talking with my angels daily. They seem to like to help out with everything. Ask and you shall receive!
