Looking up at the mountains,
How serene and relaxed I feel indeed!

The Energy Vampires

This week in the Great Big Dreams e-seminar we are discussing energy and those things that drain our energy.  I refer to them as “energy sucks.”  They are like little energy vampires that slowly drain you.
We all experience this at some time or another and sometimes several times a day.  These are the incidents, the [...]
