This is so interesting and so good. I've noticed this in so many:

" There are people who suck all of the energy from everyone around them

and keep it. " When I am in the presence of such a person, I will feel

more physical pain for some reason. I pick up energies perhaps too

much. Another reason large crowds can be too much for someone like me.

Hubby knows if I say " we gotta go " that someone amongst the crowd is not

someone we need to be around.

I always know how someone truly feels about me, even if they say one

thing to my face I know what their heart feels. I've always just

'known.' Like in school when I had mean friends who would lie, betray,

back stab etc. Or even in yahoo groups when I had someone who may be

nice to my face but I knew something was going on behind the scenes and

I would just know. Then later as the truth would always come out I

wasn't surprised. Someone would let me in on what was going on and I

would say I knew. They were always surprised I knew, like how did you

know? I would say I don't know, I just knew.

I loved everything you wrote! I said recently that I'm a Sylvia brown

fan, she is the one who writes in her books about white lighting

ourselves. I try to do it every day, even more so if I feel overwhelmed

with negative thoughts and feelings that bog me down. I also do the

Glinda the good witch bubble around me that helps bounce off negativity

that people may send my way. It really works, well at least for me it

does. I used to be quite a sponge for others energy and I read that

those like me can become too bogged down and sick if we keep being

receivers, we have to start transmitting our light and not receiving

negativity.

Anyhow just thought I'd share, and let you know your email was

fantastic! You and I have a lot in common as to how we think and what

we believe.

Hugs,

Melody
