Musings of an Angel – Volume 9
UNDER THE HALO - THOUGHTS AND IMPRESSIONS OF AN ANGEL - Written By: Kelly Grace - This week, I had a front row seat to watch a young woman reunite with her biologicalus paternus.

We then hung them around our necks like giant name tags. Then the teacher read us a story about some child who was having a difficult time. …
Musings of An Angel – Volume 6
UNDER THE HALO - THOUGHTS AND IMPRESSIONS OF AN ANGEL - Written By: Kelly Grace - Today’s installment is brought to you by the letter Y and dedicated to narcissistic mothers everywhere: you caused this mess; it would be nice if you fixed it instead of your child having to come to me for answers you should be willing to provide. A young client said to me this week that they wished their life had value to their mother. That gave me pause. I hear a lot of stories. I hold a lot of …
