Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast am on iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
And welcome back to Coast to Coast, George Nori with you.

(00:27):
How are things in Ireland?

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Well, I would say things in Alea and it's a
beautiful morning as we have here.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
You had an angelic intervention a long time ago. Tell
us what happened to you.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Well, I always explained it in a way that m
I would always say, from the moment I opened my eyes,
I saw angels. I didn't know they were angels because
you have to remember I was an infant in the
cost and I would be trying to reach up and
touch them, you know, catch them, play with them, because

(01:01):
they'd be over my bed. So I would say to you,
you know, then as I grew and I was you know,
playing at one stage with my little brother on the
floor in front of the fire. We were playing with
them blocks and my little wooden blocks that my dad
had made, and we were putting one on top of

(01:23):
the other, and it was then that, you know, our
hands touched. It was like as if his hand went
into mine or mine went into his, and I just
felt so much love, and I remember laughing and everything.
And it was then mainly that the angels had said

(01:43):
to me that they were angels. But my brother was soul.
Seemingly he had died before I was born, because at
times I would have and you have to remember I
was a small little child, you know, I was only
about two years of age or two and a half,

(02:03):
and at times I would have seen him in my
mom's arms as an infant. But I never questioned this.
But the angels would always constantly tell me to keep
it a secret, to say, to say nothing. And as
a young child, I didn't quite understand why, until you know,
time passed and over to say I got to understand

(02:27):
the words that adults were saying. I didn't start to
talk till I was about maybe two and a half,
and only the odd word, but I was all the
time in communication with the angels, you know, I was
talking to them all of the time and so there
was no need for me to talk to the adults.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Do the angels want to ever leave our side?

Speaker 3 (02:53):
No, your guardian age will never, never leave your side.
And that is something I really love, and that is
that you know, God has given every single human being,
no matter what you think of them, a guardian angel,
and I think that is so important to remember. Your
guardian angel is right there with you and love you unconditionally.

(03:17):
And to your guardian angel, you are It's number one.
I know. If I was somewhere in the world or
even here in Ireland, then I saw a human being
without that life of the guardian angel with them, I
don't know what I would think. I would be so shocked,
you know, but I have never seen anyone without a

(03:38):
guardian angel. And to me, that gives such hope to
the world, you know, about how much in the sense
that hope is there, that God is there, whatever name
you want to go with God and is there with
us all the time, and that we are loved and
we're not alone.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Does that same guardian angel stay with us until our yes.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
And again, like sometimes I might be, you know, in
a hospital you know, I might have been visiting my
mom or maybe you know, someone else in the family.
And on occasions I would have been passing a bed,
someone's bed where maybe they were Awayell put it, they

(04:23):
were going to go home to Heaven soon, and I
would see the Guardian Angel already holding onto her soul,
you know, that spark of light of God. You know,
all we all have a soul, you know, that spark
of life of God. And just seeing the angel of
the Guardian Angel holding it so tenderly. Or sometimes I

(04:44):
would see how would I say, a member of friend
of the family. You know, she was in intensive care
and we were allowed in to see her, you know,
one or two at a time. And always remember when
the door was open, you know, and I got to
peep in and I saw her soul standing beside her

(05:07):
bed and her Guardian Angel holding on tw it. I
knew then that it wasn't going to be along, that
her soul is just staying there for her loved ones,
her human loved ones in that sense. And she looks
so beautiful and so young and not sick. You know,

(05:28):
that's one thing I love. You know, our body grows
old and gets sick, and everything like that. But your
soul is perfect. And again I suppose you have to
remind yourself that your soul is that spark of life
of God. You know, you live for eternity. You never
actually die. It's only the human body that gets sick

(05:52):
and dies. But you loved once a right there with
you all the time.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Who signs these angels to us? Does God do?

Speaker 1 (06:03):
That?

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Depends what do you mean? Does do the angels give signs?
Is not what you mean?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Who assigns them? Who gives them to us?

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Oh? God, God, God did God assigned? I would say
to you, and I've written a little bit about that
in one of the books. And that is where your
guardian angel would have, you know, stood in front of
God with your soul, and God would have told your

(06:35):
guardian angel to take care of you, to watch over you,
and to bring you back home when your time comes.
But the other part I love is where how can
I putish in the sea of soolves? I call it
the sea of tholves? And your guardian angel, in a sense,
in a human way, went and searched for you in there,

(06:57):
and as soon as you, as soon as both of you,
your soul and your guardian angel saw each other. How
would I say, there was such joy and such love,
and your guardian angel had it straight for you. And
how would I say. I don't know how long you
stayed in heaven together, and that's one question that has

(07:19):
never been answered. But your guardian angel and your soul
were together before you were conceived, before you were to
come here to the world, and your guardian angel came
with you.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Well, there was a movie in nineteen forty six made
here in the United States. Did you ever see it
called It's a Wonderful Life?

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yes, I did. I remember seeing it years ago, and
I'm hoping that maybe it would be on the TV
this year so I can watch it again.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
I think it will be. They play they play it
every year and for people who might not have seen it.
It's about an angel that came down to save a
person by the name of George Bailey in the movie,
who was a distraught businessman who was thinking of committing suicide.
And those in heaven said, no, we can't let that happen.

(08:13):
We're going to send an angel named Clarence down to
save him. And so they threw Clarence in the water,
making it look like he was drowning, and George Bailey
jumped in to save him rather than kill himself. He
jumped in to save the angel, not knowing he was
an angel, and then pulled him out, and then the
movie really got going again. But I mean, do they

(08:37):
work that way?

Speaker 3 (08:39):
And how would I say? I think they work that
way a lot. It's not in the sense that you
know everyone as a guardian angel, but I know things
happen in our lives to save us, to stop us
from doing it doing different things, and to help to
keep on as much of that positive road as possible.

(09:05):
But I do love the idea, you know, of God
throwing a guardian angel into the river, and of course
he loves so human And I love that about angels
because you would have reports all around the world at
different times, and usually in a sitution where life and

(09:25):
death is threatened, and you would often have you know,
when rescue workers would come to help someone, they would
often turn around and say, where's the person or the
man or the woman that was with me? And the
rescue workers usually turn around and say, but we're the
first on the scene. And there's been loads of reports

(09:47):
like that. So God does and angels as well, but
their guardian angel would have been there with them as
well anyway, or maybe it was the guardian angel, you know,
gave visible appearance for the person to hang on to life.
And I think that's wonderful because we're all meant to live.

(10:09):
We're not meant to take our lives. We're meant to live.
And I'm always telling people that, you know, you will
get through whatever is wrong, and to reach out for
help and ask for help, you know. And we should
be a little bit more kinder and understanding to each
other because the slopes of hope in the world and

(10:31):
we ourselves as human beings give hope to each other.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Lona, you write a lot about what you call unemployed
angels in your books and you talk about it. What
do you mean by unemployed angels?

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Well, I love the name I gave them. That was
when I was a child. I made them. I kept
seeing these angels being poured down, I would say, be
emptied out of pockets, tumbling down to the earth, and

(11:05):
I just named them unemployed angels. And I did that
for a reason because that was the time my dad
became unemployed, you know, So the word unemployed was a
word I understood they had no work, and I would
see them, you know, walking or you know, mingling with
human beings, and sometimes I would recognize for someone asked

(11:31):
in a prayer, maybe I just said God help us,
and I would see the angel suddenly go to a
particular person. And I would often see them help someone
carry a bag, you know, a shopping bag, or a
worker lifting heavy planks or something, and I know they

(11:52):
make it lighter. And I just love this. And lots
of people around the world tell me they sent the
unemployed angels everywhere, you know, anywhere that someone needs an
unemployed angel to give them a healthy hand. I just
love them because even today they're pouring down from the heavens.

(12:14):
God is turning that books upside down, so they come
tumbling out. If you can imagine this beautiful angel kind
of just tumbling from a bockus down through through the sky,
through the heavens, you know, and then just opening up
just before it comes to earth and comes down and

(12:38):
then is among us all of the time and waiting
for us to ask for a helping hand. So that
the unemployed angels that will help you with all the
trivial things. I had to say in life, But yet
nothing is trivial. It's like, you know, maybe a mom
you know, is struggling with her children. She just ask

(13:01):
God to have an unemployed angel in and around her,
or in and around her children to give her, to
give her a healthy hand. And lots of mothers would
tell me it works for them.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Lonna, what's your recommendation on how people can get a
hold of their guardian angel? Some of us probably don't
know how to do that.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
I love, I love that question and I love the
way you put it. How can someone get a hold
of the guardian angel? And I suppose one thing you
have to remember is that you already have a guardian angel.
It came from heaven with your soul. It's right there
now with you. And I would say, first thing is
you know, whether you believe or not. Why not give

(13:44):
yourself a chance you know not, Why not put the
impossible what you might be thinking is impossible possible and
say to yourself, Okay, if I have a guardian angel,
I want to try and start to believe in that
I want in a sense. Human beings are always looking
for evidence, you know, And one thing we do do,

(14:08):
and that is we ask for signs, and we can
get signs in so many different ways. And I suppose
across the world a lot of people ask for signs,
and one of the most common signs is a feather.
It's the simplest one. Now, it's not that if you're
outside and there's been loads of birds on the ground

(14:29):
and this feathers everywhere, it's usually a feather, or you
notice a feather out of the blue. You know. Sometimes
somebody would tell me they found a feather in their
shoe or a feather in their drawer, you know, but
I would say to you, keep on asking. Or sometimes
they would say, you know, I have walked down this

(14:51):
particular street for the last ten years and I've never
seen a feather on the ground on their journey down
the street. And then one day when they asked for
a sign, they see the feather. And I just love
the way the angels gave signs all the time. And
sometimes someone even asked for a sign for maybe they had,

(15:15):
you know, around with someone years ago, or they weren't
talking to them and they would love to make up
and talk, and they would often ask for a sign
that maybe you had a person or they could get
the courage to send a message or make their phone
call or in a sense, to bump into that person.

(15:39):
And sometimes a person has told me that's exactly what happened.
They bumped into them. They were in the city or
they were somewhere and they bumped into the person and
they just said, you know that they were kind of,
you know, shocked, but yet they felt courage to say

(16:00):
hello and say let's go in for a cup of tea.
And at the same time they would be saying they
were praying as well that the other person would accept
their invitation. And I hear of lots and lots of
miracles all of the time. And sometimes the miracles are
in the sense those signs, or even a family coming

(16:24):
together for the first time. Just so many different things
within our lives, and they're usually personal things. So I
would always say, yes, ask for a sign, but don't
ask to win the lottery, you know, don't ask for
the impossible, because sometimes that's hard for the angels to do.

(16:50):
But another sign that often happens as well.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Just to be realistic, I guess.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Huh, yeah, you have to be real realistic. It's like
sometimes a lady she was telling me recently, she asked
for a sign. And you know, at this time of
the year here in Ireland it's it's cold now and
all the butterflies are gone. And she said she saw

(17:17):
a butterfly appeared in her bedroom and she said she
knew that was a sign, because where did the butterfly
come from? She couldn't figure it out, and she said
she just she just knew because the butterfly was in
her room that everything was going to be okay.
