Rose Rosetree:
Hi, Rose. Thanks for opening up this Q&A! From reading your memoir and your blog, I know that you have overcome many challenges as a writer. What do you see as the biggest challenge for writers today?
Rose Rosetree
Jasmine Ariti, good to hear from you. Skim-reading, I'd call that challenge: That name comes from Marianne Wolf's magnificent nonfiction book, "Readers Come Home." Another name for this challenge is rushed reading.
Although that might seem like a reader's problem, it actually becomes a writer's problem if you're also an innovator. As some of you Goodreaders may know, Energy Spirituality is highly innovative, and not just because of the 11 trademarked systems.
Every new book delivers new knowledge. Sometimes I struggle to be heard and seen, when rushed readers assume that they already know it all. They race right by.
For example, how many have stopped to read the back cover of my latest book? That's "Seeking Enlightenment in the Age of Awakening."
Transformative knowledge is there for the taking, but only if the reader slows down enough to notice.

Rose Rosetree:
Thank you so much Rose - I’m curious about the 3 foundational questions you mentioned and would love to learn more. 1, What IS any kind of empath merge, let alone an unskilled empath merge? 2, Why does DOING unskilled empath merge create so many problems? 3, And how can we PREVENT those problems? Although the default for every born empath is to do unskilled empath merge, there has to be a skill we can learn?

Hi Rose, I am currently reading the second edition of Bigger Than All the Night Sky, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I saw that this latest edition is Book 1 in a new series, called “Use Your Everyday Potential”. The title of this new series is so intriguing! Can you tell us more about how this book relates to us readers using our everyday potential? Thank you, Rachel
