I follow a good number of social media groups and pages dedicated to self-help, healing, abuse, narcissistic behaviors and similar topics. This morning, author Barb Schmidt had a post on Facebook that resonated with me. It labeled a master manipulator as someone who controls or influences others in a clever or unscrupulous manner.

Welcome Back Faithful Readers
Thank you to all who are still with me. You must be truly faithful readers to have stuck by me this long. The pictures above are me at various points between November 2020 and November 2021. I know everything looks different to you all. That’s because it is all different. We’ve made some major…
Personal Update August 2021
I’m Sorry It’s Been A While Dear faithful readers, I am so sorry it’s been so long since my last post. I really had hoped that having a tablet would make it easier to post more. However, it seems that WordPress and Elementor do not work well with mobile devices including tablets. Therefore, I couldn’t…
Tablet Writing Is a New Challenge
So, I’m embarking on a new experience. I have a tablet now to make life more convenient, but I’m not sure how long it will take for me to become more efficient with it. Typing on it is a bit of a challenge, but it also has a possible benefit. Once the tablet is more…
Pandemic — A Year Later
Last March, in 2020, the world was put on lockdown in fear of a virus that was sweeping through humanity. The virus, named Covid-19, was a variant of the same coronavirus which causes the common cold and influenza, but was a stronger, more virulent variant. Fear spread as rapidly as the virus did….

Holidays, Traditions, Disappointments and Hopes
Well, here we are at the end of 2020. Each month seemed to bring with it a new challenge to overcome. I think the biggest challenge this month is to find some kind of holiday spirit despite not being able to carry out holiday traditions. Radio stations are still playing songs for the holidays. My…
A Personal Apology To My Faithful Readers
Dear readers, I feel bad. When I began this blog in 2017 with the help of my friend, Wes, it had a dual purpose. First and most importantly, it was a type of therapy for my emotional and mental health. Secondly, it was my voice to the world to share my views on life and…
Just A Quick Word
I would like to just drop a quick line to let everyone know I’m still here. The new changes to the site are confusing to me and I’m having trouble learning how to use the editor. I hope to get another post out to you before too long. Thank you, faithful readers!
New And Improved Takes Time
Surprise! Everything looks different! Welcome to the new and improved “The Write Empath”. We changed servers and with that came changes. As you might imagine, there were glitches. Some things didn’t cross over well. We lost a lot of the images that had been uploaded. All of the internal links are broken. The text of…
