When You Are Highly Gifted, Is The World Ready For You?
It may be true. The world may not be ready for the most gifted among us. The world, more specifically, the people of the world, may look at you with wonder or amazement, confusion, fear, or derision. None of those looks are particularly desirable. They are not looks of understanding, appreciation, enthusiasm, or love. Not […]

One Size Does Not Fit All When You Are Sensitive, Smart, Persnickety, Discerning, Intricate, Perplexing, Astute, Penetrating, Prolific, Visionary, Wizard-y, and Resourceful
I get so annoyed when I hear people say their way is the ONLY WAY to happiness or healing or inner peace or fame and fortune! If you just do THIS all your problems will be solved in an instant. If you follow this diet, or this spiritual practice, or this guru, you will become […]

Being Gifted May Not Be Such A Gift
I have been working with gifted kids and adults since the late 1970’s (were any of you even alive then?), and I am STILL stunned by your beauty. By your big-hearted compassion. By your vast, deep, bold intelligence. By your unparalleled curiosity. By your striving, your questing, your seeking. By your passionate drive to know. […]

Gifted In Serbia
“I can hear and feel with such an intensity. I can understand what people are feeling just by their look or presence. I can very often predict what they are going to say. Bad styling and bad architecture are literally killing me. I am looking for details in stuff that are meaningless for others. I […]

What Is Obvious To You Is A Mystery To Them And What Is Obvious To Them Is A Mystery To You
No wonder you have trouble finding friends and partners. This explains so much, does it not? With your rainforest mind, you are always reading, researching, pondering, diving deep into the mental, emotional, educational, imaginative, intuitive, and spiritual caldron. With glee, I might add, when no one is getting in your way. You are enjoying yourself. […]
