Question of the Day: “What was a defining teaching moment for me?”

Every school has tough students.  Students who struggle and don’t seem to belong anywhere.  The unlikeable students who teachers talk about behind closed office doors.  Teachers bemoan the fact these students are even in their class, and often these students are passed around as they try to find a place where they belong.  The first…

Question of the Day: “What are my limiting beliefs?”

This is Day 4 of my working with Deepak Chopra’s “21 Days of Abundance-Meditation Series”. In this series on Spotify (which I highly recommend), he speaks about the limiting beliefs that are holding us back from abundance. Since I truly believe I can meditate my way into abundance, I was forced to question myself about…

Question of the Day: “Should I drop out of my doctoral program?”

Honestly, I am not really trying to answer this question. I know the answer. I know it “like you know a good melon,” as the woman says in Nora Ephron’s When Harry Met Sally. There have been too many years where I vacillated from one side of a choice to another when, deep down, I…

Question of the Day: “How does being an Empath make me a better teacher?”

The answer here is simple. It makes me a better teacher in every way. Being able to feel other people’s emotions makes me better at navigating through a lesson. I can feel when I lose my class during a discussion. Or, even better, I can feel when I have their undivided attention. Their attention is…

Question of the Day: “What’s with all of the crystals?”

Crystals, or rocks as my sons call them, are very important to me as an Empath. Vibrations are in everything and are everywhere, and I feel crazy to say it, they are also in our rocks. But I refer to them as crystals because they play a crucial part in my ability to stay feeling…

Question of the Day: “Do other Empaths get intuitive downloads?”

As an Empath, I often get “intuitive downloads”. This can be when I am watching something, talking with someone or even when I am drifting off to sleep. Suddenly, my brain is sidelined by visual images or words or even a deep feeling that what I just heard or saw means something. Words will start…

Question of the Day: “Are there different types of Empaths”

There are various types of Empaths. An Empath is a person who intuitively picks on various vibrations from people, objects, plants, animals, and places. Though most people don’t even know they are Empaths, the ones who do can be separated into three types. These types were created based on various strengths in specific areas, though…

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…
