Today’s society is a dangerous jungle if you are an empath. Feelings are so fragile these days and people are easily offended or hurt. 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…

Judge Not The Poor For Being Poor
(I read a post on social media about poor people that prompted this post, but I’ve been wanting to write a post like this for quite some time.) Many people judge those who are in financial straits without having a clue how hard they strive to get out of the hole they are in. NONE…
When “Help me!” Is Silent
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…
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!

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,…
Receiving Constructive Criticism Is A Gift
It doesn’t seem like it some days, but receiving constructive criticism from others is a gift. Now, let me clarify this right from the start –there’s a difference between being unjustly criticized and constructive criticism. Constructive criticism helps us grow into a better person. If a friend feels comfortable enough to give you negative feedback,…
Are Progress And Technology Making Our Lives Better?
Society as a whole has come a very long way from the days of horse and buggies. We have made our world smaller. As technology progressed we were able to talk to people miles away, then countries away. With fax, then internet and email we can complete paperwork for business deals in a matter of…
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…
