I’m ashamed to admit that when I first received this, I wondered in the back of my mind why she didn’t just send a plant.
I have my religious beliefs, but I’ve never been a fervent user of religious icons or paraphernalia and haven’t attended mass on a regular basis since I moved out of my parent’s house sometime during the last millennium. So when my coworker proffered a Novelty Angel Pillow after my grandma died, it first struck me as odd. She matched my living room beautifully, though (the pillow, not the coworker), so I set her up on the sofa and set about getting dinner. And then, the magic began. I noticed her whenever I walked by the living room. My frame of mind at the moment would direct my thoughts from there, but I always felt happier and more peaceful as a result. If I was thinking of Grandma, I would smile to think that she was now an angel watching over me and would fondly hope for her sake that they allow black coffee, cigarettes, and gin rummy wherever she may be. If I were out of sorts or even just indifferent, the sight of my angel would remind me of the miracles that occur in my life or of the very special people I know that I consider tangible angels that bless me every day. Focusing on these things made me feel so hopeful, so loved, and so at peace. How is it that before she arrived I seemed to go weeks—even months—without pausing to reflect on the positive things in my life? The Novelty Angel Pillow has become a treasured part of my home and a constant inspiration to focus on blessings. I’m so glad she didn’t just send a plant. http://www.buynoveltyangelpillow.com
