I think there are people who are born more empathetic than others. And I also believe it is something that can increase in us, as we go along in life.

I always considered myself a very caring, empathetic person. I could always read people's faces and body language very readily. I was always happy to listen; and if people requested, offer them gentle advice.

But with my own illness, I have learned that there is always more we can learn about compassion. Always.

And, that true kindness is never wasted. Ever.

As a healer, understanding another's situation is unparalelled.
