In order to be a spiritual guide, I ask to be Guided.

Connection – Love, Wendy
When we are invested in deepening and strengthening our connections, we do not stand on ceremony, rather we eagerly connect.
We check in, we share, we listen, and it is a dialogue grounded in love, attentiveness, and reciprocal affection.
Love, Wendy
Songs of Guidance – Love, Wendy
Through my writing and coaching, I have always shared my connection to Spirit/Universe through music (as well as other modalities) and that all of my writing is Divinely inspired and guided each morning when I sit in stillness and listen for the words that need to be shared.
So this morning, I am sharing with you how this all came together in my writing.
As I sat in prayer and meditation this morning, asking for clarity of a personal situation, these three songs (that I have posted along with my writing/post on social media) played on Pandora in a row subsequent to my prayer, and I was guided to put these three titles into an inspirational writing. “Steady Hope, Eternal Whisper, Suddenly Yours.”
Hence, today’s post reads, “If it’s meant for you, you will feel the soothing warmth of reassurance, and the eternal whispers of steady hope… and then, it is suddenly yours.”
This is my proof today, and similarly every day that I am heard, that I am guided, and that I am loved.
When we are open to Divine communication, we see, hear and feel beyond our physical limitations.
Love, Wendy
Faith Is An Enigma – Love, Wendy
In my opinion, Faith is an enigma…
a mysterious force that transcends logic and common sense, yet provides a deep sense of purpose and confidence with the belief in something beyond what can be seen or proven.
A quiet, personal and subjective trust in my personal space…a space where I connect to peace through this “enigma.”
While it may seem paradoxical—faith offers strength and comfort in moments of doubt and inspires hope when all seems as if it has drifted too far to return, yet always reminds me of the possibility of rebirth.
Faith is always assuring me that no matter how distant I may feel from peace or resolution, there is always a path, even if it’s one that I cannot yet see…
but I can feel it…
Question everything. Often. Entertain new perspectives. Consider new theories. Explore them with an open mind and heart.
Sit in silence.
Listen.
Feel the quiet whispers as it speaks to you through the subtle rhythms of nature, the synchronicities of life, and the intuitive nudges within your heart.
This is where Faith trancends barriers of fear.
You may hear the response. You may feel the loving guidance of the Universe.
The Universe’s voice is ever-present, persistent, and full of possibility, if we are willing to pause long enough to listen and feel its presence.
Faith IS an enigma.
Embrace Faith.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
Moment of Grace – Love, Wendy
When I feel depleted, I have nothing to share…I cannot fill your cup.
If I need time, for whatever the reason, it’s not about you. I’m not abandoning you, I’m just making myself a priority today where I offer to myself a moment of grace.
I am worthy of rest and wellness.
Love, Wendy
Managing Daily Stress For Lasting Wellness – Love, Wendy
Find your inner strength and resolve to allow your mind to steer you towards wellness, recognizing that true resilience comes from within with every opportunity that affords you to practice navigating with a clear mind and healthy body, not from the fleeting relief of external substances. External situations, no matter how challenging, should never dictate your choices or push you towards unhealthy coping mechanisms.
By recognizing and nurturing your inner clarity, you have the opportunity to make healthy practices a lifestyle. Try grounding yourself in healthier ways to manage stress—such as mindfulness, exercise, organic foods, loving connections, and self-reflection where you empower yourself to face life’s challenges and adversity, disappointments and hardships with awareness, grace and stability.
In choosing wellness over temporary escapes, you honor your body and mind, building lasting strength, and a sense of agency that no external circumstance can take away. Remember, the power to heal and grow always resides within you when you practice daily self care, self respect and self preservation.
As it states in my book, Write Pray Recover:A Journey To Wellness Through Spiritual Solutions and Self Care, “Self care is the actions that we take to achieve wellness, and wellness is where we stand in our power.”
Take care of yourself for yourself, and to demonstrate to others how you expect to be treated. By honoring your own needs and setting clear boundaries, you show others that you value yourself and deserve to be treated with kindness and consideration.
And perhaps, you will encourage those observing your agency and practices to set their own standards a little higher.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
Mental Health and Wellness – Love, Wendy
Our mental health is on a continuum and on any given day, for any given reason, at any given time we move along that continuum and we must be armed with a variety of tools at our disposal as we move along the continuum.
Movement along the continuum could relate to biological factors, environmental factors and even how we practice daily self-care.
Self care is one of the most effective ways in managing our symptoms and to stay ahead of our symptoms. This is especially true when we are aware of our body/mind connection and recognize the symptoms in the early stage of escalation. With this information, we can intervene immediately, and/or ask for support.
We all have mental health.
Our relationship to self driven by self care, self respect and self preservation above all else is the foundation of wellness.
Wellness becomes not just an outcome, but a living practice grounded in our ability to honor and protect the integrity of who we are, and how we experience life.
Love,
Wendy
Defined – Love, Wendy
We are not defined by the illusions others create about us.
We are defined by our capacity for self-awareness, our willingness to grow, our ability to love and to be loved, and our authenticity.
Love, Wendy
Who we are – Love, Wendy
We can’t stop others from their own interpretation, but we never internalize their experience of who we are.
Their inaccuracies and limited understanding and beliefs of themselves project onto what they believe and what they think they observe.
Most importantly, it is their own lack of self worth and lived experiences, combined with fear of uncertainty that confines them to live with an illusion of “control and certainty.”
They cling to narratives that offer them comfort, even if those narratives are distorted born from their own insecurities and fears. These are merely reflections of their own inner world, not the heart and soul of who we are.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
