Yes, I do that, but it still takes a toll. It's hard not to be affected by the painful stories. In a smaller way, it's like when we hear about mass shootings or the Trade Centers or other things that are just so awful. We are affected by those, too, often in a bigger, longer-lasting way, of course, but I mention them to demonstrate that because we care about others, we can be affected when they hurt.

Plus - it takes a lot of focus and concentration and energy to do these readings - and to do them well. It can be exhausting from a purely physical standpoint.

Thank you for spending some time with me. I appreciate your questions! 💜
