What It Means To Be An Empath.

I have been an empath my whole life, but only really understood what it was, or that I was an empath, about four years ago. Not sure what an empath is or if you are one but you know something isn’t quite right and you don’t understand the emotional overwhelm? Feeling lonely or feeling like you ...

Dear Empath, We Need You.

You will cry out in the meeting in which no one else would raise a hand, shining light on the vibes underlying the entire group.

2015: Let’s Commit Not To Being Dams, But Vessels.

My Thirty-Ninth Year — What I Know So Far.

I know that some of my misery is self-imposed and almost brought on purposefully. Maybe I am comfortable in it. Maybe it helps me to feel that all is right with the world because I’m preparing for the misery that will inevitably come. Maybe that’s not true at all, and there is a darkness that I ...
