From Karen Walrond, author of The Lightmaker's Manifesto and Radiant Rebellion, comes a delightful jaunt into how to be a total amateur--by doing the things you love even if you're not any good at them.

If any of the above situations ring true for you, then you’re more than just a human…you’re an empath. But that doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you!
