I’ve heard tears cleanse the soul. No matter which emotion they derive from be it sadness,happiness, fear what have you. Years ago I went through a six year stretch that I simply didn’t cry. I thought at the time it was from being on psychiatric medication. In hindsight, I now believe I was in such a deep denial. A robotic type of functioning that prevented me from feeling. I blocked out my emotional self and denied myself its truth. I also used to be afraid of crying because I thought if I started, I wouldn’t be able to stop. I literally feared drowning in my own sorrows.
Today I am powerful in my emotions. I know they all make me strong and bring me closer to my true self. They are absolutely necessary in order for me to breathe. It’s not always pretty and sometimes it’s very messy. I understand however that there is no other way. I have turned the corner of denial, wearing masks and faking it. I refuse to be anyone else but me. For that I am so grateful.

Hi there, I'm a divorced Mom with two teenage sons. I'm also someone living with Complex PTSD and I have dissociative episodes at times related to flashbacks of my past traumas. I am an author of three books of poetry entitled "Emotional Musings", "My Soul's Language" and "My Heart's Song". All are available on Amazon. I'm always interested in new ideas and information that can better our society and the human condition as a whole. In June 2019 I embarked upon a spiritual awakening and a higher consciousness as an empath which has empowered me by helping me understand my soul's purpose in this dance called life. I'm a loving and giving person who values those qualities in others. We are all connected and require love and care. I strive to spread kindness, love, peace and light to all I may encounter. My main writing focus is on my emotions, my journey as an intuitive, emotional and physical empath and how those two things impact my creativity and evolvement. I'm also a psychic channel and shamanic healer. I hold both in person and long distance sessions that balance the chakra system and reconnect the soul to its purpose.
