Recently I was near Spring Green at my writing mentor’s home walking a labyrinth in a beautiful meadow when I noticed a butterfly feeding from a bee balm. As I watched her I could see that she was missing a portion of her wing on the lower right hand side. Despite this “wounding” the butterfly easily moved from flower to flower seeking nectar.

Part III – 5 Simple Steps to Manage Your Sensitivity
This is part three of a four part series on living comfortably as a Highly Sensitive Empath. You will find the first two entries below this one. Years ago before I had a conscious awareness that I could communicate with animals, before I knew I was sensitive, before I knew I was an empath I would have experiences that I didn't understand.
