Sophy’s Wisdom
Welcome to my blog! I started this space when I was best known for writing about angels (hence the beautiful angel at the top of the page), and over time, it has grown—much like a vine—to cover a variety of topics. I chose the name “Sophy” for the blog because it means wisdom (as in philosophy, the “love of wisdom”). It’s also my Christened name, spelled with a “y,” which makes it personal. Wisdom, to me, is “experience coupled with thoughtfulness of what was learnt,” and that’s what I’ve been striving to uncover and share throughout my life. From spiritual musings to deeper reflections on life’s challenges, this blog is a place where I offer my insights, experiences, and thoughts on everything from angels to our ever-evolving world.
I’m so happy you’re here, and I’d love for you to sign up for occasional updates. You can expect thoughtful offerings about being psychic, dealing with fears, or just navigating the complexities of the world we live in. I hope something here speaks to you and encourages a deeper connection with the wisdom we all seek.
Stand with the Angels. FIGHT!
2700 years ago Plato laid out how a tyrant or absolute ruler seizes and maintains power. He does four simple things: In no particular order, he A) takes over the educational system, so that boys...
What is a miracle?
Recently I broke my leg and right after that I broke my arm so I have not been able to post anything for a long time. However, I wanted to share with you a story of a miracle a friend just sent to...
The Silence of Hope
This week I want to share a letter from a young woman, only 22, who wrote a while ago about her dismay and hopelessness as she struggled for spirituality — and what happened. Isn’t that often how...
Two Angels
Sometimes when you are feeling discouraged and very low, or when you think you are alone in the world, something catches your eye — and it needn’t even be anything magnificent, but suddenly your...
The Heroine’s Journey
The other day I was interviewed by Susanna Liller for her YouTube series on the Heroine’s Journey. What fun! Here is the link: https://youtu.be/n5E5kUy-Pzc. . I think we are all on a Hero’s (or...
Keep My Sheep
Occasionally I get a letter (imagine that!) or an email so evocative that I can’t stop thinking about it, like the one I’m about to tell you about concerning sheep. The only thing I know about sheep...
Grief
I haven’t written on this site in many weeks. I had nothing to say, as I reeled from the loss of three people in three weeks. Grief is so close to depression, you hardly know what’s come over you,...
My angel crow
For a year and a half, I have tried to attract birds to my garden. I put up a birdbath, and grieved when no bird came to drink. I put up a bird feeder, and watched the squirrels hang upside down,...
to Do or to Be
So, my masked-bandit daughter came over to visit and we started talking about how the pandemic has thrown all our values into question (not to mention 6 planets then retrograde), because what can...
Easter: Christ Risen
Easter. Rebirth. Resurrection. Spring. It is also the time when we celebrate the Resurrection. Or, if you’re like me, puzzle over it, filled with questions and doubt: did Jesus resurrect bodily, or...
Read, Pray, Watch
When I was in college I remember making a “Great Discovery.” I was so pleased with myself! I don’t remember what it was anymore, but I remember being thrilled by my own wisdom, and proud of...
My Birthday Present from God
Every month, as I sit down to write my blog, I think, “This will be my last post. It’s time to stop. Too many people are creating, publishing, and screaming for recognition, for me to add one more...
YOU HAD A LIFE!!
(Parables of Sunlight by Margaret Dulaney) Every now and again I come across a book so luminous and lyrical, that I find myself telling everyone I meet – “Oh, I’ve just read the BEST book!” in...
Afraid to die
Every now and again, and often, it seems, when I’m most discouraged, I’ll suddenly get an email from a total stranger, telling me how much my books have affected their life. As if the Universe is...
All Creatures Large and Small
All Creatures Great and Small Today I saw a fox pattering along the edge of the forest, nose down, intent on its journey to catch mice in the horse pasture a quarter mile up the road. The birds are...
The Healing Power of Animals
I want your story of your animals, dog, cat, birds, skunk. I think our animas are like angels, come to teach us how to love. For example: Sixteen years ago I prayed to God to bring me a...
How Strangely Needs Are Met
This is a story of how our needs are met. It’s also about an angel, but mostly about how Spirit, the Guiding Principle, the Universe, God, whatever you choose to call this incomprehensible Mystery,...
Talking to Myself
If there is one benefit to this coronavirus isolation, it’s in offering the luxury of time. But when, like me, you live alone, the days are sometimes long, especially on dark, rainy, soggy, sad...
