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.

Entertaining Angels Unaware
