I am here for Friends

About Me

I am an individual who can be quite a challenge to understand. My soul is over 5,000 years old while my spirit is timeless. I am also an empath which makes dealing with other humans difficult due to all the emotions swirling about, whether expressed openly or held tightly close.I love to write poetry as it gives me an outlet to share wisdom that may strike a chord within another human being. My first published collection will be out Winter 2009.I delight in seeing the beauty that is everywhere to be seen in this world, if only you open your senses to it. Humans on the other hand are quite the challenge because they are often unaware of who they are themselves.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I have married the woman I love completely, but I would also like to meet any compassionate being who treats others with respect and compassion. Even if you disagree with someone's beliefs, civil discourse should always be the rule. Be aware of yourself - both your positive traits and your faults. Really look at yourself before you dispense criticism.

My Blog

First book review

My publisher contacted me that The Midwest On-Line Book Review did a review off my book RAVEN COMES TO CALL.  Was very positive and made me smile from ear-to-ear.Jim
