Dear Helene,   
    You are such a comfort to others. I’m hoping you could help me out. I have been separated for the past year.  For the past two and a half years, I have been a good friend with a member of the opposite sex. And yes, women and men can be good friends with out anything going on.
     A month ago, this friendship abruptly ended. To me, it is for no good reason. He ended it and has not been in touch with me what so ever.  Could you tell me if my estranged husband had anything to do with this? Thank You and God bless. Signed, Upset

    Yes, I know people of the opposite sex can actually be friends. I have one myself. I’m sorry your friendship ended so abruptly. I know that hurt you. I feel your husband absolutely knows of this platonic relationship and something was said to your friend absolutely.
    That said, my cards showed this friend thought this friendship was becoming too complicated for him. As long as you were married you were safe and he could give sympathy from a distance.  As soon as you became single, the relationship ( he felt ) took on a new level of commitment. So,  he bailed. Sweetie, this is his loss. I guess you were a better friend to him then he was to you. Look, if he cannot be your friend through the hard times,  then he really is not your friend to start with. Remember, “actions speak louder then words”. His actions show that his friendship with you came with limits. You need to consider this man only as an acquaintance and move on.

Dear Helen,
    I’ve called my Angels around me and asked them to help me write this letter. I’ve given them permission to communicate with you. Could you please tell me about my Angels. Are any of them relatives? Do any of their qualities come through me? I frequently ask my Angels for help in regards to my children, but rarely for myself. Do they have any messages for me? I thank you and my Angels in advance. Signed, Angel Fan


    You sound like a person who communes a great deal with their Guardian Angel, so I don’t know what it is I should be saying for them. First off, let me say this. Our departed loved ones, are not Angels. Angels were created before man,  and all the angels that are . . . are.  We have Guardian spirits who are our loved ones and you have a “Motherly Spirit” around you.  All Angels have names, ranks, jobs, and personalities. All though angels are truly androgynous beings, we can view them as either male or female.
    I won’t say a lot about them, because it’s up to you to have your own personal relationship with these wonderful beings. All you have to do is; Ask, Listen, Understand, Believe, Write Down,  and show Gratitude. Follow these six simple steps and you will be talking with the Angels in no time!
    Your angel loves you very much. You need to listen a little closer to their voice. They do talk to you, but you second guess what is being said. Trust a bit more and when you let go . . . really let it go! Don’t hang on to the end of it. Really let it go. Keep talking to them always. And for Pete's sake go ahead and ask your Angel anything you want. Your Angel is not for your kids, he is there for you. Ask your children's Angles to watch over them. Not your's. Try this out for awhile. I might have another Angel Workshop in the Spring. Look for my Ad in the back when it happens.

Dear Readers and Friends,
    Two thousand years ago, three strangers brought the gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to a poor child,  born in a manger. That night, the greatest gift the world has ever known was given . . . the child himself.  Please, remember what this holiday is truly about and remember those in need this holiday season. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
