For those of us empaths, extra sensitive types, anxious & nervous people, being out & about may be tough.  Public settings can be challenging for many reasons: people, lights, noise, general busy-ness, internal anxiety and interacting with others are just a few reasons why.  It can be difficult to maintain center and feel well during social engagements.

The famous Marvin Gaye sings, “we’re all sensitive people.”  We all feel, and some of us more than others.  Personally, sometimes and some places are extremely difficult, other times and other places, I love.  Sometimes it’s the “set” (mindset) and sometimes it’s the setting (place & people) that is welcoming or triggering.  When it’s fun & joyful, everything is great, but when it’s not things can go off the rails quickly.

We stand on the shoulders of giants —

Those of us brave and bold
climb and scale 
the magnificent beasts,
the titans
of creation, innovation and wisdom.
