Do you immediately put someone out of your life for a mistake or, do you give them a second chance? Should everyone be allowed another chance, or is it one and done? I guess I’m a super lenient person, but I will always give someone a second chance. There is good in every one of…

Our Heart Has No On / Off Switch
Why do people feel it’s OK to judge someone for their feelings? Feelings are uncontrollable. We can try to squash them down and pretend they don’t exist. Feelings can be ignored for a while. But, they are not something we have any control over. There is no off switch. If someone hurts our feelings, we…
Are You Standing Up?
It’s been a few days since I had a chance to sit down and write. Life has been busier than I would like. Ideas for posts crossed my mind in those busy moments. But, then I lost them before I had a chance to jot down a note. Today, though, I want to write about…
Who Is Your Enemy? (Division in America)
Who is your enemy? How do you define the enemy? I think as a nation we need to answer these questions and reevaluate ourselves as a country. We call ourselves the “United” States of America, but it feels like those words are empty now. As an empath, I can feel the emotions of not only…
The Rope Of Our Lives
A recent breakup in my life made me realize that life is like a rope. Each different strand of the rope adds to the strength of the whole. Just as each area of our life makes it all complete. This last week I had to close the door on a special friendship I never thought…
Therapy? Who Needs it! Not Me, I’m Fine!
Therapy? Nah. Not for me. I can handle things on my own. That was my attitude when people suggested I might try counseling. And for quite a few years there were those who said I needed it. Part of the problem was that I felt that counseling and therapy were only for those who had…
Is It Time For a Social Media Break?
How many of us are addicted to our social media accounts? If someone took your phone and computer away for a week would you go insane, or would you be OK with not seeing what’s happening online? When you first got on social media, what was your purpose? Did you open accounts because everyone else…
The Challenges of Being An Empath in May 2020
I’ve been wanting to put out another post for a couple of weeks now. It’s been almost a month since my last one. However, I’ve had a difficult time finishing whatever post I begin. Partly, the problem is the challenge of being an empath in May 2020. Being an empath these days has its difficulties…
Epsom Salt Baths Heal The Soul
Epsom salts are known for helping with joint pain. They also have other healing properties if you are an empath. It’s been a hard rough week for me. Arthritis pain has been running at a higher level than I’m prepared to deal with on a daily basis. I’ve had a ninety-minute writing seminar online every…
The Journey To The Empath Part 3
(Find the first part of my journey here.) Upon learning I am an empath I went into isolation for a while. I didn’t know who to trust. Finally, I reached out and gained a handful of people who gave me the support system I need. Ultimately, though, I had to figure out my life and…
