Are You an Empath?
We all know people who are very good at empathy, understanding what someone is feeling and responding to those feelings in a caring and appropriate way. This is different from being an empath, which is a term to describe someone who feels what other people feel. Empaths don’t like crowds, not because they don’t enjoy…

In-Person Event June 6th- 8th, 2025
The Step Into Your Power Retreat is happening this summer, June 6th – 8th, and I can’t wait to be there. It was created from the heart and mind of Margaret (Mo) Smith of I Love It When. She is a fellow traveler on the spiritual path who delights in sharing what she has discovered…

Powerful or Powerless?
We often forget we can choose how we feel regardless of the circumstances. When things happen, we can often understand why someone acts or reacts a certain way. Many have devoted thousands of hours researching why people do what they do when things occur. Studying behavior benefits them as they are not directly involved in…

Check Your Pendulum Polarity
The one thing about working with energy is that it never ceases to amaze me. One of the things I learned recently is that, like all things, our energy can shift so much that it can become the opposite of itself. I know that sounds weird but stay with me. Everyone has an energy signature…

Sentimentality, Regrets, and Longing

Listen To What You Don’t Want to Hear

Are You Broken?
Every person I know at one time in their lives has lived through something traumatic. Some things are more devastating than others, but what might not be that traumatizing to me might destroy the world of another and vice versa. When we encounter such situations, from a shaman’s perspective, we can leave pieces of our…

Watch dramas, not participate in them.
People are people; thus, drama happens everywhere, even in the metaphysical community. I got sucked in, at the edges, of a situation that has been going on for months. At this writing, it’s still going on. Sides have formed and lines drawn. I have to wonder what people are thinking about allowing this kind of…

Where Do You Belong?
It’s human nature to want to belong, be liked, and be a part of something greater than ourselves. We used to live in tight-knit villages not only for social reasons but also for our survival. By nature, we are not lone wolves. Even lone wolves are not alone all the time. I’m not a doctor…
