Sometimes you never hear the “help me” from people who need it. It doesn’t come out in words, but rather in appearance and demeanor … You don’t recognize her. You know her, but she doesn’t look like the woman you remember. Her clothes are ill-fitting and faded. She never would have left the house looking…

It’s Been Seven Years …
Today, I realized something. It’s been seven years since I had to quit working because of my pain and health issues. It’s hard to believe it’s been so long already. It was so much a part of my life that it feels like just a couple of years ago. Life isn’t anything I had imagined…
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,…
Take a Gratitude Journey With Me in 2025
I’m going to start a gratitude journal. As I’ve mentioned previously, I don’t do resolutions anymore because I’m horrible about keeping them. By the end of January I’ve usually fallen off the wagon. So I won’t call this a resolution, but a goal. I want to focus on gratitude and happiness in 2025 Since I…
As We Reflect on 2024 …
At the end of a year, many of us reflect on the passing year. In a couple of days, we will be switching our calendars to a new year. 2024 will be behind us. I keep a daily log which I can peruse at the close of December. It shows the highlights of each day…
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.
He Was Eleven Years Old. They Called Him DJ
Dracen John Lee Brabant was an eleven year old boy who had a future ahead of him. But, he breathes no more because he felt that he couldn’t deal with the pressures of life as he knew it. He was a victim of bullying. Dracen, or DJ as he was affectionately called, had a family…
Covid Changed The World
“Covid changed the world”. I have heard that many times over. I was talking with a friend I met in Walmart the other day and she said the same thing. “Everyone is so mean and full of hate.” She’s right. It seems that people tend to look for reasons to hate before giving love and…
Time – Where Have You Gone?
I feel that I am obsessed with the concept of time this year. Scientifically, it is measured with a watch, and separated into labeled sections such as hours or days. But, it feels relatively different to each person and situation without a timepiece. Time lost can never be replaced. You may be able to repeat…
Is It Love (Or a Trauma Bond)?
Let’s talk about a trauma bond. It’s a little off the main road of my recent posts, but anyone who has followed me for any length of time knows that I can veer off the beaten path at any given moment. These posts are usually about what’s most prevalent in my life when I feel…
