I have been whollped with bad energy and have lost alot of my life. Is it best I leave the area I am in (Rochester, NY) I would love to do what you do and I am an intuitive counselor and healer Besides the money to market my self, wha tis in my way?

Amy's response:
I'm highly rational, and I limit myself to giving love advice not career advice. There are books on writing for newspapers. It's pretty much impossible to syndicate yourself unless you're famous and a highly talented writer. "Wholloped with bad energy?" How about you take responsibility for your life. Read Nathaniel Branden, The Art Of Living Consciously, and Guide To Rational Living by Ellis. How about using reason instead of woo-woo intuition? It will get you far.

Amy's response:
Really? How are you harmed? Because I told you to take responsibility for your life? Woo, aren't I a bitch! You'll send me a "lesson"? So, let's see, you're a woo-woo feel good nicey-nicey person...except when you're sending out little packages of "bad karma"? You're hilarious. Thanks for the laugh. My heart is directly behind my lungs, last they looked at the doctor. Rationally yours, -Amy

More rude, tactless and hurtful words You need HELP I will send this to your editors
Amy's response:
Yes, this was a terribly shocking exchange, filled with suggestions that you boil puppies -- well, probably, somewhere between the lines of all that "be rational/take responsibility" advice. If you read my column, you'd know the editor picked it up because I don't mince words. I didn't with you, either. It's right in character. You simply don't like hearing my opinion that you should take responsibility for your life, not blame your problems on bad energy. Oooh, harsh! You can read more of the same in the paper every week. You might check out those books. One can never be too rational! Cheers! -Amy

If he or she weren't so stupid, a line like that would be a bit scary.

Be careful, Amy, that's a bad nut job.

Curtis -- No fucking kidding. Religious fundamentalist terrorist groups aren't all the fond of "mind-oriented attitudes" either. I'd be wary of any "lesson" that such folks would try to send me! Lena

Amy, you are a bitch on wheels. I love that about you.

Yes, Amy is a bitch on wheels -- and Lena is riding shotgun!
