This has been one of the best books I have read in years.
This book is an inspiration to anyone who feels, isolated, unloved, lonley, or forgotton....
I couldn't put it down from the time I read the first page..It lifted me from the state of mind I was in..
I had been using the Angel cards and writing to them before I read the book it was a last resort... I had had a really bad year.. after writing to the angels, doing the cards and having vivid dreams I started to feel a ray of hope...
So if you feel in anyway sad remember it is a journey you are on and without the sadness how would you feel the joy??? Nothing stays the same so don' thing that you are at a dead end...its going to change!!!
The book is an inspiration.....sending many angels and sending my love

I can only hope that this extraordinary and honest glimpse into the life of Victoria Mary Clarke can find its audience. My first thought upon reading it is, "I love it! But how is it going to be successfully marketed?"
I suspect that many who pick it up will only be looking for gossip about her fiancé, Shane MacGowan. It isn't there. It isn't necessary.
The result: Yes, Victoria, you really are your own celebrity, a word with a number of mixed and conflicting definitions and nuances. She is a successful journalist and a woman with an unforgettable life story - a Generation X-er and a daughter of hippies who grows to maturity in the shadow of one of the greatest poets and personalities of rock `n roll, an "older" man and a Baby Boomer.
The book tells her life story intermingled with her yearning for the spiritual. She takes her experiences and challenges of faith to a higher level by contacting her own angels.
They are not chubby Victorian cherubs on greeting cards. They are plural, ethereal, encouraging and non-interfering. She struggles with her own perception of what they really are - a figment of her subconscious? Is it a ruse to lead her on the wrong path? They are neither.
She takes the book into yet another dimension challenging the clutter and overabundance of "stuff" in her life. Like a particularly hip Flylady, she grows wiser and more discerning as time goes on. She learns to make the right choices and learns to believe in herself.
Clarke also has to temper and manage her wordly side and her inner quest to be famous for her own merits, and not of the famous and glamorous company she keeps. She really is a "good" girl - she naturally wants to make the world a better place and leave a gentle and well-tended path in her wake. She wants to do things for others and make a difference, but she still feels guilt about her worldly interests - looking great, having nice things and pleasuring her physical and emotional senses.
She wants to be a celebrity, but she doesn't like being stared at. She will learn to live with it.
In some ways, Clarke is a modern-day "Franny." She yearns to allow herself to be optimistic, to make her own pilgrim way through this complicated world that we all inhabit.

Victoria was in a slump, she had left Shane McGowan, had moved to Dublin and was in a funk when she started communicating with Angels. A woman not unfamiliar with mysticism and who had explored a lot of different ideas and religions she still finds this a little baffling. Still she went with some of the suggestions and found that her life improved. This is her diary. Some of what is suggested is pretty obvious but sometimes it's the way it's said rather than what is said that can help a person move in their life.
Interesting and thought provoking.
