How many times do you read something in the paper and find yourself saying, “I can’t understand how …” or “Why would someone do such a thing?” As we read things like this in the paper we feel sick to our stomach. As an empath it can be even worse because we can actually feel…

Judging Hidden Secrets
We always think we know people based upon our experiences with them in our lives. We decide whether we like or don’t like them by the behaviors they exhibit around us, whether it be in a very public place, in a small group of friends, or even just on a one-on-one basis. Even our own…
Normal Isn’t Always Right
One of the things I have noticed as I grow older is my ever-increasing resistance to change. In my 48 years on this earth, there are routines I have developed. I have preferences for certain things and a very noticeable dislike for others. Of course, I am not alone in this. As humans, we are…
