It’s so easy for us to see all the negative things in life. Social media is full of it. Negative people! Our news sources are full of bad news. Worries. Tragedies. All of these are so easy to find. But there is good out there too. It’s just not being pushed on us like all…

My Heart Exploded Today
Maybe exploded is a bit dramatic, but it should tell you how I actually felt. Today was a day that I needed, and I think one that so many of us need as well. The day started out simple. When I woke, my husband already had breakfast on the table. I enjoyed scrambled eggs with…
Oh SNAP! Now What Do We Do?
If you are like me, you noticed the only thing making headlines this week is the fact that the federal government is not going to pay out for SNAP benefits. Every news station and “influencer” seem to make that the lead story every day. Then, if you follow any of it on social media, there…
Fellow Empaths in 2025
My fellow empaths in 2025, this is written for you. I see you, and hear you. I AM you. It’s a bad world out there right now for us. We feel everything so deeply. We connect with everyone around us in ways many don’t understand. For the last 5 years society has exposed itself, shown…
Labels and Stereotypes BE GONE!
You have to be living under a rock in the ocean if you have no idea how divided the world has become, especially in the last week. Everyone takes a “side” in something. But many of these “sides” are nothing more than labels used to keep us from uniting with each other. I can’t speak…
Navigating the Jungle As An Empath

Since empaths pick up on the emotional energy of others, they can quickly pick up on the level of emotional pain that other people feel. Whether it be in cyberspace or…
Emotional Writers Need Understanding
How many of us are emotional writers? I can’t be the only one. When life is hitting me hard, I turn to writing. Words flow easily onto paper or into a document on my laptop. The difficulty is sharing those words with others. The things I write about when my emotions are high are usually…
Protect Your Peace!
Empaths, protect your peace! People love to talk to empaths. They pour out their struggles, sufferings, pain, and loneliness. Strangers come to you on the street and feel comfortable telling you what’s bothering them. Because it’s easy to sponge their emotions, it’s imperative that you learn to protect your peace. If you are like me,…
My Hallway of Memories
I have a work room upstairs where I write, paint, dream and store tidbits of memories from my life. Cleaning the room is like walking down a hallway of memories. I’m 54 years old and there are decades of little tidbits I’ve collected. And since I’ve been a writer my whole life, there are many…
WELCOME BACK!
My apologies to anyone who tried to access the site within the last week. I changed hosting companies and we were in the process of switching over. But, I’M BACK! Look forward to more of my thoughts and ponderings 🙂 As always you can contact me at shell@thewriteempath.com for suggestions and ideas or reactions.
