Empaths Have Feelings Too!

The Winter Storm Warning Sales are coming!

2008-10-20T20:46:00Z

Hey Folks!
You are probably wondering what on earth I am talking about... Winter doesn't start for a couple of months, right?
Well, this morning when I got in my car and it was 19 degrees Fahrenheit and tonight's forecast calls for snow, I might have begged to differ.
But here is where it benefits you.
Since I get snowed in an awful lot in Vermont, I have decided to start a "Winter Storm Warning Sale". Whenever the National Weather Service in Burlington, VT issues a Winter Storm Warning for my area, I will be lowering my rates to 99 cents per minute for the duration of the storm! (Provided the storm doesn't take out my power, of course...) My rates will go back up whenever the warning has expired or has been canceled. I figure this is a great way to make myself busy during the long Vermont winter and you get to save $$$. Last year we had 144 inches of snow (12 feet!!!)... that's a lot of storms!
Sale pricing goes into effect when the first storm hits... it could be next week, it could be December. Keep an eye on my listing and I will let you know if a Storm Watch has been issued. If a watch is issued, a Winter Storm Warning is usually 12-24 hours behind. In the meantime, I will back on Wednesday 10/22 for daytime calls. Either way, I look forward to hearing from you!
Blessings,
Aimee

It's a Filly!

And here she is!

She born on Wednesday, May 16th between 7-8 in the morning. Mom and baby are doing exceptionally well. The little girl doesn't have a name yet but we are thinking about Belle Aire.
Now I can finally get back to Keen!

So much has taken me away from Keen lately. I wanted to share this picture of our little pony so very pregnant!

A Little Sensitivity...

2007-04-23T13:23:00Z

I'm a very sensitive person (my mom used to say I was too sensitive!) but it's the very quality that allows me to read people's feelings. What I feel, I feel very profoundly and people's actions often hurt me.
Because I have been badly heartbroken in the past, I can understand how it feels when someone cries to me suffering the pain of a broken heart. Believe it or not, I feel that horrible, empty, hole-in-the-gut feeling too when I see it. I literally want to curl up in a ball and make it go away.
I know the disappointment of not getting a job you had your hopes set on. It can be so defeating.
I get that crazy adrenaline rush too when you meet someone new. That excitement is amazingly intoxicating and I love it too.
Sometimes I have a very hard time leaving the world of Keen behind and many times those emotions that I pick up from other people follow me around for the rest of the day. Especially so if someone is having a difficult time.
I hate arguing. It leaves me drained and exhausted. When I go through a stressful event, I often find myself yawning as if I need a nap to recharge my battery.
This weekend I found myself needing to separate myself from a caller. I'm not afraid of being wrong - it happens to everyone. Only God knows the exact plan and he only allows me a glimpse of the emotion surrounding an event. On Thursday, my beloved canine companion Trevor was diagnosed with Lymphoma and only has a few more weeks to live. Even though my husband is allergic to dog hair, he is permitting Trevor to sleep in our room as the end draws near. My daughter, who because of her autism has a hard time with empathy, cannot understand how I feel. While I wait for Trevor to cross the Rainbow Bridge, I am also waiting for the birth of a foal to my daughter's pony. A mare whose placenta is severely infected and the foal's life is endangered. Every day that the foal stays with mom is a major milestone. Every day that Trevor is comfortable is a blessing. Even though he is not in pain, he knows there is something wrong. With each day a bittersweet blessing, I need to hang on to the things that give me positive feelings. Disagreements, even little ones, take their toll on someone who feels everything so profoundly. Harsh words hurt. Everyone has bad days and they need to do what they can to make a bad day a little better.
Be kind and understanding to people. Unless they too are an empath, it's very hard to know when someone on the other end of the phone is having a rough day. Show a little sensitivity and always remember...
Each day brings a blessing.
