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...]
Surviving the Hunt
Here's a recycled post from a year ago. Because many of you are new here I wanted to share how deer hunting can affect highly sensitive empaths.

Fortunately, none of these currently affect my health but it can be pretty … [Read more...]
The Wounded Butterfly
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.
