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…

Comparisons
Throughout our life we find ourselves making comparisons between our lives and others. This is normal human behavior. We can use the comparison in a healthy way or a harmful one. As a child, we usually have a few idols. In most cases, one or both of our parents are our first idols. And as…
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…
The Good Times
I’ve been a writer for as long as I can remember. I wrote my first poem in grade school and fell in love with poetry. I sat in front of a typewriter free writing since my dad allowed me to “play” on his Royal. But, I just realized I seldom write during the good times….
Where Did You Get That Glow?
In response to my recent posts and social media activity, a dear friend reached out just to say she noticed my “glow”. I hadn’t paid attention to it myself. But, after she told me that I glow, I looked back at recent pictures. She’s correct. There does appear to be a radiance emanating from me….

You may be peacefully sitting around minding your own business when suddenly a new awareness hits you. It isn’t necessarily something new that you become aware of. It may be something you’ve taken for granted for…
The Two Blog Writers
There are two writers for this blog. The first writer did the writing in the beginning when the blog was first born. The second writer took over this last year. When I started this blog in 2017, my purpose was to share my story and thoughts with the world, or as much of it as…
Closing the Casket on The Narcissistic Mother
This is a hard post to write, but I know I have to write it. It’s kind of like the period at the end of the sentence. Or the lid on a jar. It closes and seals. I’m closing the casket on my mother. A few years ago, I wrote a post about dealing with…
How Much Do You Value Independence?
When I was in therapy, one of the things we did was to determine what values I hold dearest. My most treasured value is “independence”. Perhaps it is the free spirit within me that will not be tamed. Maybe it’s because I have been disappointed too many times by people I thought would be there…
