Question of the Day: “What is an Empath?”

An Empath is a person who is highly sensitive to other people’s feelings, thoughts, and emotions. These other feelings, thoughts, and emotions are felt through intuitive abilities, and the Empath is able to know things that the non-Empath does not. I like to think of it more like “reading”, which is what it feels like…

Question of the Day: “What are five ways to tell that you are an Empath?”

It took a long time for me to realize I was an Empath and not a crazy person. There are still days when I wonder… But in all seriousness, I did a lot of reading, soul-searching, classes, and meditation to come to terms with the reality of my gift. In the end, it really just…

Question of the Day: “How can I be emotionally healthy when I’m an Empath?”

The current state of things makes it difficult to be an Empath. I struggle constantly with other people’s emotions. Many Empaths want to check out on their gift because it is just too much. The constant influx of other people’s fear and confusion really amps up my own. It often becomes difficult to tell where…

Teaching # 101: Book Banning Update

Students who want to start the book club came by to visit me yesterday. They are really excited. They recommended we go to the public library to meet. They suggested this may make it a little less scandalous (my words, not theirs). I agreed, but I don’t think they realize that my location won’t really…

Teaching # 101: The Meeting

If you read the previous post, you know about my dilemma. My school is coming after books, and I am running a Student Book Club in perhaps my most misguided attempt at protecting them. After my conversation with my principal, I felt I needed to inform the other teachers of what they will be getting…

Teaching #101: Another way to CYA when you’re a teacher

I am moving forward with our book club, but I have contacted other teachers hoping they will join me. Three others have agreed, but after my conversation with my principal, I thought I would at least be honest about the possible ramifications. We have a meeting scheduled for tomorrow. I sent a cryptic email just…

Teacher #101: “What do I do about all of these books?”

There is a controversy in our country and specifically in my district about books. Parents and the school board are coming at books hard and from all angles. They are forcing school libraries to take out books they find to be inappropriate. Many of these titles feature queer or gay characters and some have strong…

Question of the Day: “What song makes you cry?”

Jonah and I were driving around today. Cole needed a ride to his girlfriend’s house, and we needed bread. As we drove home, “Black Birds” by the Beatles came on the radio. ”Oh, my god, I love this song,” he said as he raised his arms in the air. ”Really?” I asked as I turned…

About Being an Empath

I am a mother, English teacher, and an Empath. I live in the Philadelphia area. Reading other people’s energies continues to be a huge part of my life. The idea that we are all connected and sharing in this human experience is the basis for this blog.

Readings

Photographs hold the vibrations of people also. This reading allows me to access the vibration of the people in the photograph. By reading photographs, I am able to feel emotions and also get information about the person. It varies from experience to experience, but I can get quite a lot from just a picture. This…

As I have discussed before, I am in the midst of tending to my first real garden. My husband created nine garden boxes and threaded together my vegetable and flower labyrinth. Last week the plants really started exploding, and everywhere I look, I see tall green stalks and fat, ripening fruit and veg. We are…

Based on recent events in my life and in our society, I want to bring back a post I wrote in 2015. This post was part of a series that highlighted accomplished women. Unfortunately, it fell a bit flat, but today I feel a renewed sense of energy. Women like Kamala Harris and Stacy Abrams…
