School Bus Pal
Recently my husband and I were off on a shopping trip and he happened to mention that he ran into someone I barely knew as a child. The name brought back memories of my days long ago. The guy he ran into was a high school student on the bus I rode to school in…
Merry Christmas from The Write Empath
Merry Christmas! Are you feeling the Christmas spirit? Can you feel the peace and joy and love in your heart today? For me, Christmas has always felt magical, special somehow. We were raised poor.

Why I Speak Of My Past
Why are so many abuse victims silent? Why do so many who are aware of their situation not speak up, or get out? How can they stay in a situation they know isn’t healthy? Why didn’t they tell someone? These and many more questions pop up when we learn of yet another person who has…
