I wrote a while ago about what it really means to be an empath and distinguished between what can be confused as empathic ability, and what marks a true empathic ability.

Creating Change through Effective Enchantment
With the home buying process I have learned two very important lessons: I need to enchant for each step of the entire process when I want something big to work out entirely in my favor, and “trusting the universe” is not a good strategy.
