I agree we are being balanced.  I believe we will survive and thrive beautifully.  I also believe where you hold your thought and speak your words, you create and hold your reality.  You send energy both positive and negative out into the world.  I believe it is very important to hold positive thought at all times, and I would like to encourag each and everyone to do the same.   Send thoughts of abundance and joy into the world please.

this is not something I like to think about cuz it causes SO MUCH FEAR in people it overwhelms me....(empath.)  I try to not focus on the material things and to live as simply as I can.  I get excited to grow some of  my own food and find items gently used that I turn into cherished items.  Money is always tight but somehow we make it.  There are many in high positions who are willing to sacrifice this country to line their own pockets and very few who will do anything, or can do anything to stop them.  We all pay for out choices in the end.  I hope the money bought them happiness in this lifetime, but I doubt it.

I agree with you both. Possitive energies needed to be sended out. And as far as Empathy, been having a rough time myself with what I am feeling.  It is starting to get really rough out there.  But I do see so much good too.
Material can only bring us so much.  I find joy in the simplest of things.
Growing a garden is great! I think many will be doing this year.  Thank you both for sharing your thoughts.

How are my other fellow empath's holding up?

Myself I have been cleansing my house almost on a daily basis.  Burning alot of Benzoin which is for purity, harmony, and joy. Acording to Scott Cunningham's Encyclopedia of magical herbs this is known for purification, and prosperity.  

Felt alot better after I had Virgo come in and bless my house.  She even did the basement for me. I do not like those spider webs. ;)  

Been harder to tune it out like I used to be able to.

But still there are days when I am like that lil dog who is shaking from being so nervous. The meds they have me on is helping with that.  Sometimes I feel too much.

Always remember to stay centered and strong in your belief that everything is unfolding as it should, and happens in the greatest good.  Continue to send that positive energy into the world.  Release fear, and live from empowered, centered strength.
