Who are you? No, I don’t mean your name, your nationality, or your job description. I mean who are YOU? The real YOU? How many of us know our real selves? How many of us actually SHOW our real selves? Are you yourself or a mirror of your friends? Do you choose your friends based…

I Confess…
I have something to confess. It’s no secret I’m an empath. It is obvious in this blog. But, what I confess is something many other empaths also deal with … addictions. Emotions overwhelm us. Until an empath learns how to handle the gift, the emotions of other people can consume a soul. It can make…
An Empath and the Narcissist
Do you know a narcissist or an empath? These days it’s more likely that you DO than that you don’t. Maybe it’s just me and the fact that I am more aware of narcissists these days but it seems like they are more common than they used to be. Is it the world we live…

My husband is a cancer survivor. Back in 2004 Dan was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. He is someone who does not run to the doctor with every little thing, so instead of making an appointment for him, we made an emergency visit. He had been growing weaker and weaker. We thought he had…
It’s YOUR Life
How many times have you felt all ambitious about changing your life? Something inspired you to make plans to start a new diet, or take a chance and do something you never have done before and you ran with it. Maybe you woke up feeling inspired by a dream, confident that you finally know what…
Brain To Fingers
One of the writing exercises I practice to help clear my head and get an idea of what’s going on up there is something I call “Brain To Fingers”. Yes, it is a weird sounding name, but a very effective exercise. The name symbolizes the flow of thoughts and words from my brain through my…
