luveniwai, you nailed it. Great piece, great description of the life as a sensitive and healer.

As a channeler/facilitator of healing I get no days off even in semi-retirement.

The day I get off is Sunday, but there is always someone who calls with an emergency and even with the sleep deprivation I've been experiencing my clients and friends need help. (If it's too much I turn everything off - but end up sending soothing energy to those in need on a generic basis and that has to be enough. I do draw lines for myself)

Actually I do my best work with sleep deprivation I think because it's easier to coral the pesky ego and let the energies flow though.
