Book Cover & Preview Text
I am an ordinary woman. I am a mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend, and a teacher who has been soul searching for many years to find the peace in my heart that today I am blessed with. I have recognized the words of both God and the angels through time, only because I have paused long enough to listen to them speak to me. Heaven talks to each one of us.
Some of us worship no God, some revere Buddha, and some are devoted to Muhammad. Others, like myself, adore Jesus. Talking to my God through prayer, much in the same way that I have always reached out for the arms of my angels, I began to hear answers. While friends laughed at what I believed, if there was a chance that Jesus was talking to me, I was not going to turn a deaf ear. Little did I know then that Jesus yearned for me to listen early on so that I would be somewhat prepared to walk through the most tumultuous journey of my life. When I was faced with the possibility of losing Kevin, my husband, the father of my children, my soul mate, and the man with whom I had spent almost half of my young life, I pleaded with Jesus and the angels to answer my prayers. They did. Our prayers are invariably answered, but the answers are not always the ones that we are hoping for or expecting.
Regardless of faith, many believe in angels. When a blue jay flies by with an inspiring song, your angels are telling you that you will soon be singing again. As the lilac bushes rustle in the backyard, emitting the sweet fragrance that permeates your being, listen to your angels urging you to stop to smell the sweetness of the moment. When the beat of a song makes you want to dance, realize that your angels are dancing along with you.
Angels speak to our senses. They talk to our hearts. Smile for your angels, for they can see you. Share with your angels a moment of sorrow or a snippet of jubilance; angels invariably listen. Your angels can touch you. Recognize their gentle gestures through the warm breeze that evokes a comforting chill. Embrace the gifts of heaven, as heaven is right in our backyards.
Heaven and Earth are a part of one another. Humans and angels dwell as one. We all share the same sun, keeping us warm from heaven to Earth. Twinkling with the hope of a brighter tomorrow, the stars tap dance for all of us from heaven to Earth. Find comfort in the arms of your angels, for they share their maternal moonlight with those whom they guide and protect. Keep the faith, find the love in your life, and hold onto hope, for hope heals.

Heaven talks to each one of us and gives us hope. In Hope Heals, author Jodi Netting discovers this through one of the most tumultuous periods of her life, which is told through her letters to her beloved husband.

Ultimately she realizes that every experience provides us with an option to open our lives up to God. Faced with the possibility of losing the love of her life, Jodi turns to writing and to her faith. Through her prayers and her journal, Jodi recognizes the words of God and the angels in her life. And these messengers bring her hope. Hope is present in every person, but it can be elusive.
