Last week’s blog generated a lot of questions about how to respond appropriately when someone is hurting or facing a challenge. As you recall, I wrote about how someone saying “Oh, I’m so sorry”, often doesn’t feel good. So what do you say? And what’s wrong with saying “I’m sorry”. (Actually nothing when the intention is clear…read on). Lest you think I have traveled into the land of Ann Landers, this isn’t so much about manners as it is about being conscious about your words and … [Read more...]
Full Disclosure
I’ve been gone for awhile…perhaps you noticed. I could tell you it was the holidays but that would only be part truth.

When he began to tire, he would fly to the back and another would take the lead. They rotate this way to create the most efficient flight for … [Read more...]
The HSE connection to Illness
There are physical consequences to being a highly sensitive empath. Research indicates we are more likely to experience chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, other autoimmune disorders, ADD, ADHD and even Lyme disease. Personally, I have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and lymes disease. As a child I was frequently ill with strep throat and tonsillitis.
