Ann Marie

The author has the unique ability of seeing into other people’s emotions. She can hear the thoughts and feelings of others even when nothing is said out loud. Her ability to take unspoken emotions, put them into words, and invite the world in to partake makes her one of a kind. She was told by someone close that she had quiet dignity. It took her some time to come to terms with this observation as she always thought her personality was more on the shy side. She now embraces this unique trait, quiet dignity, and feels this has allowed her to be emotionally connected with a sense of loyalty to everyone and to every situation, good or bad, that has ever touched her life regardless.
