Regarding my empathic gifts, I’ve noticed that it’s the intense sadness that I feel most easily. That and anxiety, and yearning. No, maybe it’s yearning that’s strongest. I don’t feel the happiness as much or the lighter emotions. Maybe it’s because they aren’t there, but there’s a sense of more light, so the only way…

I have something to confess that I’ve never said before, at least not in this way. There is a woman I’ve been afraid of for a long time. She has a terrible temper and you never know when she’s going to unleash those war-hounds. Whenever  I’ve been around her, I’ve felt I had to be…

Ah, the Christmas  holidays and all the dirty, rotten celebrants are trying out their baking skills…on the people at work. Everywhere I go, it’s fudge, chocolate, and tons of calorific  goodies.  Everyone  wants to share  the abundance, including the abundance of excess weight that crops up between Thanksgiving and the first of January. And all…

At a writer’s conference many years ago, an author of historical mysteries  told  me  that  if  I  was  looking  for something, pay attention to where my senses are drawn. I’ve come to understand that on many levels. For example, if I was lost, I’d send up a silent prayer to help me find my way.…

For me,  the  most  important thing about  keeping  a journal is its usefulness  for catharsis and personal archeology—that I can write through an issue and either purge it or lessen it somehow. The second most important thing about keeping a journal is that it becomes a record  that can be studied later to note change…

My guides had told me that I’d be in superproductive mode for about 6 weeks, and I am. I was told that some would be brand new ideas  and others would be pots of gold I’d been sitting on, and they are. I was also told that all my projects would line up easily (their…

I’ve been playing with heavyweights for a couple of weeks now, and getting soundly beat up. Probably by myself as much as by anyone else  because I keep trying to figure out what I could have done differently.  Based on what I know and what I saw and how I was trained, the answer is…

I’ve said before that the Universe  has a sense of humor. If nothing else, my romantic life over the past two years certainly proves that! But now the Universe is reminding me to keep things fun. How? Well, a few weeks ago, I began experimenting  more with the Law of Attraction and visualization techniques. I…

“Do you censor yourself?” a new friend asks of my writings. It’s  the tenth  time  I’d  heard  that  in the  past month, either as a curious question,  a suggestion,  or a warning. The answer, in all cases, is no. I do censor what I write about others, often to the point that they aren’t recognizable—though…
