As soon as you say, you’re depressed, “they” want to put you on medication.

Nobody talks to you about nutrition or exercise or getting out into nature, or just crying to release the underlying reason for the depression. Or talking it through to unpack your emotions. To release.

Medication is the norm and we must change that as many people thrive and manage their symptoms using holistic and/or integrative practices.

We must make individual lifestyle changes. We must allow and encourage each individual to choose a traditional recovery approach, a holistic recovery approach, or a little of both.

We must honor what we ourselves know that we need to heal, to recover, and to thrive.

And we must have an ongoing dialouge about mental health in a safe, non judgemental space that promotes treatment seeking behavior where we normalize our symptoms and where we encourage people to want to step forward to speak their truth about their emotions, feelings and symptoms.

We all have mental health.

There is no shame in feeling. There is no shame in thinking. There is no shame in crying. There is no shame in feeling afraid to speak your truth.

Do it anyway.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

The heart never forgets.

The soul always remembers.

Aging is a gift to be unwrapped gingerly and savored with all of our senses.

Aging encourages us to continue to be curious and to learn. To challenge our mind to reach a higher potential. To become even more enlightened and to share our wisdom where it is sought.

Honor your age. Feed your aging body with healthy practices. Feed your brain with knowledge and humor.

Aging is a gift and not given to everyone.

Create your own trajectory as you age keeping a young and open mind and heart.

Joy and purpose will meet you there.

Love, Wendy

Friends for decades. Soulmates. “Sisters.” Been through it all together.

We sense each other through the miles. We support each other in joy and in heartbreak. And when we know our friend needs to talk, we call her on the phone instead of a text to allow her to fully unpack her emotions. To release the grief, or to explode with joy.

No matter what we are experiencing in our own lives, a friend sets aside time to listen. In a safe space. In a comforting space where we know we are loved and cherished.

And perhaps offer a new perspective that may soothe our pain. or heighten our joy.

Love, Wendy

Observing “their” behavior and listening to the snickering within their little click makes me so grateful that I am evolved. That I hold myself to a higher standard. That I exude empathy and loving energy. That I have lived and survived what seemed like insurmountable obstacles through spiritual solutions and self care practices. Without judgement of myself or others on my journey.

I am merely the “observer.”

I have healed and continue to do my inner work in order to continue to thrive and to promote wellness.

And I serve those in our global community who seek solutions through my work and experiences.

Those who yearn for wellness and peace.

“They” present themselves as an immature group of high schoolers who lack a developed sense of maturity and growth.
“They” look so foolish to those of us who have lived through severe trauma and neglect and have chosen to change the trajectory of our lives.
We have innately learned empathy, compassion and kindness.

“They” too have “hidden information,” but I digress.

And, one day…
“They” may be seeking grace from their own mistakes and misfortune.

Kindness and grace are spiritual practices.

Let’s normalize spirituality in a loving energy and empathetic space.

No judgement. No stigma. No attitude.

Love, Wendy

As the Angels surround us, they reveal themselves through loving gestures of song that sings to our soul which is music to our ears. If you listen to the lyrics with an open mind, you will hear the message, you will “know” an angel is singing to you…you will feel it resonate.

If you listen to the melody with an open heart, you will rejoice in dance, as you have been given the answer to a prayer and/or spiritual guidance from God/Universe/Spirit.

Ask for healing, guidance and a clear sign…then listen to the music as the angels sing in response.

If we had no compass growing up, we had no direction. And it filtered down to our children who were also lost without a clear path.

And so on. And so on.

And so forth.

Yet, even though I was lost and deeply scarred, I found my power and strength albeit much later in life, and started a path of healing and peace. And I passed these tools down to my children later on in their lives. And we all continue to heal.

I still have times of deep grief and remorse for all the days I, we, wandered out in the darkness without a light to guide us.

An unintentional tragedy that did in fact cause permanent damage.

And it is my “kingdom come.”

Love,

Wendy
