Dear Diary: Expectations Do Not Equal Reality
Dear Diary, Two months ago I made a huge lifestyle change for my health. Walking away from a job I held for over 17 years, I gave up stability and routine, schedules and pain. As I left, I found I created some expectations of how my new life would be. In my head I had…
Intuition: The Telly In Your Belly
Recently I had a friend tell me he would like me to meet someone to get a feel for them. I smiled because I knew what he meant in asking that. Until I told him about being an empath, he was amazed at how well I could pick up on people within minutes of being…
Do You Have Style?
What does your writing say about you? If you read different authors you can start to get a feel about the person behind the words. Every writer has their own style, or voice. Sometimes it’s in the choice of words. Other times it may show through the tone or emotion you feel when you read…

Exorcise That Critic Within
Are there little voices speaking to you within yourself? Do you listen to the inner voices? Have you given them names? Is one helpful and one a critic? I like to think there are two voices within me. One of them is my intuition and the voice I must pay attention to. The other voice…
Dear Diary It’s Been A Month
Dear Diary, it’s been a month now since I’ve left my factory job. It’s time to check in and see how my life has changed since I made that huge decision. I have a regular sleep pattern now. Instead of catnapping all the time I am sleeping almost seven hours straight every night. Sometimes I…
