Therapy for emotions, hooray
Helps to chase all the worries away
With a supportive ear
And some guidance, no fear
We can find a much brighter new day

Value in friendship
What quality do you value most in a friend?
When it comes to friendships, there are countless qualities that we might appreciate in our friends. However, if I were to pinpoint the most important quality I value in a friend, it would have to be trustworthiness. Trust is the foundation of any strong and lasting friendship. You can rely on, confide in, and depend on a trustworthy friend during both good times and bad.
Trustworthiness encompasses honesty, reliability, and loyalty. A trustworthy friend tells you the truth, keeps their promises, and stands by you when you need them the most. Knowing that I can trust my friends ultimately allows me to be open and vulnerable with them, creating a deep sense of security within the friendship.

Art Work- Feelings with Poem
Poem by Anthony
https://empathmuch.wordpress.com/
Sekenglif (feelings)
A perfect sphere surrounds us each day
It’s our reality of everything we see
A myriad of emotions, are at play
And many affect both you and me
–
Outside the sphere, feelings abound
Advertisement
And each its own unique face
Happiness, sadness, and others are found
Surrounding people of every race
–
Which we choose or rather chooses us
We often have very little choice
Confronting our feelings is a must
When talking in our inner voice
–
We might as well roll with it all
There’s no need to lose control
Feelings, inside of us rise and fall
Learn to ride the ebb and flow
–
So how do we deal with all these thoughts
How do we gain an upper hand
Dealing with the past, you’ve wrought
Helps you draw boundaries in the sand
–
Then one day, you create a space
Between what you see and what you feel
Putting self control in place
Preventing overreaction, a bad way to deal
–
So as the realities challenge with strife
Remember, you are in control
Of your reality and your life
Don’t let your feelings take a toll…

Jobs
What jobs have you had?
Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work in roles that align with my passion for teaching. From my early days as a substitute teacher to my current position as a Director of Education at a company, I have consistently found fulfillment in sharing knowledge and inspiring others. I have also taken on long-term teaching assignments and have enjoyed the opportunity to provide personalized tutoring. As I continue on this journey, I am excited about the future and eager to embrace new opportunities that come my way.
Artwork – Cinderella
Cinderella has always been one of my favorite fairy tales, and I have always been fascinated by her story. So, naturally, I felt compelled to draw her. I am quite pleased with the way the drawing turned out. However, upon reflection, I believe that if I were to do it again now, I could further improve the result. Nevertheless, I still hold a deep admiration for the way it came out initially.
Art & Poem- 100 Ghost
Poem by Anthony
https://empathmuch.wordpress.com/
100 ghosts are haunting me
Not fifty, seventy-five, thirty, or three.
–
Each one takes up its own space
With different expressions upon their face
–
A snarky smirk or frown for a while
A look of anger or crooked smile
–
Why are they here what do they want
Can’t they find another to haunt
–
I’d ask them all but they don’t say
Why they never go away
–
I should hire a medium to take a look
Or tell me why they continue to spook
–
But the spiritual world is a closed book
And as a mortal I’m afraid to look
–
So I found my answer in the end
Rather than fight them, embrace them friends
–
As my logical conclusion is here
The ghosts all start to disappear
–
First smirky, fearful, then happy and mad
Next nervous, thoughtful, then silly and sad

–
Each ghostly apparition leaves
Taking along their gown and sleeves
–
As they’re gone I realize the key
Each of the ghosts was an aspect of me
–
Emotions can be scary but never fear
There’s a hundred feelings for everyone here.
–
So next time when adversity has you thrown
Think of those chalky friends and you won’t be alone.

Artwork- Ursula and Sebastian
This is one of my recent works, and I’m so thrilled with the outcome! It all started with a GIF I sent someone, and their response was incredibly inspiring. I’m absolutely in love with how this piece turned out.

Abby- An ABC Poem
This is my first try at this type of poem. I was encouraged to post. I hope it is good.
—-
Abby the adventurer
Busily bumbling along
Curious looking for an adventure
Daring to try new things
Even questioning her elders
Forever getting into mischief
Going whatever strikes her fancy
Hurling into whatever she does
Itching to have some fun
Just waiting for the right one to come along
Knowing that it might not be easy but is better than
Laying around doing nothing all day
Monkeying around
Never staying in one place
Open to new ideas
Pondering if she should
Quit
Resilient to continue
Suddenly to her surprise, a
Tantalizing adventure awaits
Under the swings
Venturing slowly
Weighing in her mind, if
X-ray vision is needed
Yahoo she is close
Zoom off she went
Poem- Anxiety
My heart races, my palms sweat,
As I enter the crowded room.
My mind is filled with worry and regret,
As I search for a place to resume.
The fear of judgment weighs me down,
As I try to blend in with the crowd.
I feel like a stranger in my own town,
As I struggle to speak out loud.
The eyes upon me feel like a spotlight,
Exposing every flaw and mistake.
I wish I could disappear from sight,
And hide away from all the fake.
But I know I must face my fears,
And push through the discomfort and pain.
For only then will I truly appear,
And break free from the social anxiety chain.

Before The Internet
Do you remember life before the internet?
I have vivid memories of the time before the Internet, a period that was truly unique and filled with its own set of challenges and rewards. Back then, when it came to working on our reports, the library was our primary source of information. The process of conducting research involved physically venturing to the library, poring over books, and meticulously searching through reference materials. It was a time-consuming yet deeply engaging experience that required dedication and patience.
On one hand, the absence of the Internet meant that we had to rely on fundamental skills such as using a dictionary and mastering the art of library research. These were valuable skills that we honed through the process of gathering information. However, the flip side of not having instant access to information was that tasks took much longer to complete. This necessitated a higher level of organization and planning to ensure that everything was well-structured and executed efficiently.
Life before the Internet was undoubtedly filled with its own set of merits and challenges, and looking back, it’s clear that it was a time that demanded a different kind of approach and mindset.

Lego Pug
I spent most of the day creating this. It combines two things that I love the most: pugs and Legos. Even though this looks easy, I have to say that it was not. This was the most challenging one I had to put together in a long time.
Artwork-Taylor Swift
I am not a Taylor Swift fan, but I do have a friend that is. I created this for them, and she loved it.
What am I Good At?
What are you good at?
What am I good at? That is a good question, and I often struggle with questions like that, but I will keep on going and answer the question. One of the things that I am good at is having patience when working with children, which is a good thing since I am a teacher. I have always believed that kids can learn while having fun, and I try to incorporate this when teaching kids. Another thing that I am good at, so I have been told, is drawing. I picked up drawing when I was going through a rough patch many years ago, and it helps me to relax and not worry as much. I find joy in expressing my creativity through various art forms.
