Our greatest growth is when we realize our limitations being inflicted by the story we repeat to ourselves, and we finally decide to step out of that mindset and awaken into the loving arms of the Universe where everything is a possibility.

When one runs out of options, I have seen a precious soul give up on life.
Homeless, hungry and hopeless.
How do we help our global community to realize that suicide is so final, and never the answer.
Our precious global “brothers and sisters” are struggling with so much, and so much of it is financial hardship. Some nearing homelessness and hunger, and some who are already living this horrific reality…in the USA.
As I live with this real fear, daily, I stand with our global community and wonder…
What is the solution…
Love,
Wendy
What has happened to us as a collective community? The people who were once so willing to stay connected and to sincerely care about how “we are doing” seem to have withdrawn.
I hear this from clients, and I am experiencing this in my own life. Some people will stay connected, but you can viscerally feel the “arms length” connection.
Have we become so exhausted and hardened through our global challenges that we have retreated, even from those we once stayed connected to daily?
Have we become so consumed with our own challenges that we can’t even make the time to send a simple text or to make time for a connection call? To ask another “how are you” and really listen to their answer?
Well, not this woman.
No matter what is going on in my life, I will always remain present and connected to those that I love and those whom I serve…always.
I know what it feels like to be discarded, and I will never cause another precious human being to feel that way.
We are all experiencing many similar challenges and adversity, and we become a closer community when we share and support our loved ones, and neighbors.
Love and connection is the antidote.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
If someone repeatedly shows you who they are, and you don’t want to “see” it, God steps in to show you in the most brutally enlightening way… in a way that you could not see with your human sight.
There is NO denying it anymore.
When we allow ourselves to see beyond our physical limitations, God shows us “truth.”
Take your time with processing the information. Love always remains, but reality is sobering. I choose to be sober. Open your eyes. The “truth” is blinding.
Love,
Wendy
When one cannot identify with their own feelings and emotions, or they are too fearful to do so, they sync to the feelings and even the thoughts and behaviors of others.
They may have not been “seen and heard” as a youngster, and even as a young adult/adult. They do not have the words to identify their feelings, or may be too afraid to speak their truth, and so they look for others who are excessively loud and expressive in their vernacular as they are trying to state the inner emotions that may be simmering. Often, these are people who are actually feeling deeply insecure, and who are also looking for attention (in the most unhealthy ways.)
As I observe, I notice that the louder and angrier someone is in their expression whether it is verbal, or in their actions, I ask myself, “What happened to them?”
This is known as a “Trauma Informed Approach.”
When people feel the need to be crass, excessively boisterous, and engage in unhealthy, limiting beliefs and behaviors, I choose to employ empathy.
Sometimes, it is a challenge, but empathy is a place where I understand what another may have experienced to cause them to exhibit such desperate behaviors in order to be noticed, and even loved.

I have a theory as I watch the duplicitous behavior of one I thought I once knew, and loved… When you don’t have a life purpose, find yourself alone with too much time available as an aging adult, and where one does not have self esteem, and does not love or believe in themselves, they become sucked into theories which may make them feel a part of something…anything…even behaving in ways that are inhumane.
This steers the trajectory of their thoughts, and behaviors, creating an altered perception of reality. When one is desperate to be loved and needed, and wants to belong, they will drink the Koolaid, no matter the personal cost.
And, I have just been a witness to the demise of a beautiful soul and otherwise intelligent mind.
An incredibly expensive lesson.
Love, Wendy

I continue to experience deep and profound spiritual lessons in the midst of hardship and chaos, and yet, I welcome these spiritual lessons.
As a spiritual student my task is to grow and evolve and to stand in my faith in order to continue as a spiritual teacher and spiritual first responder. I consistently continue to show up for those whom I serve.
If we live the experiences, we recognize the true meaning of life through adversity and challenge, as well as the gentle touch of spirits guidance.
And, we continue to reaffirm our own faith through these spiritual experiences by the grace of God.
In the still of the silence, the connection is the loudest. As my mother used to say, “The silence is deafening.”
Love and blessings,
Wendy
As I plan for this next stage of my life as a single, mature woman of sixty-something, I connect even more deeply to those beautiful souls who are faced with homelessness, hunger, and loss of safety and security.
Something needs to change in order to protect and to provide, especially for our aging population.
Who are we trusting and depending upon in our government to care for us as we retire, as we age, and as we require more resources in order to experience wellness and joy in our golden years?
Yesterday, I had an unsettling, eye opening experience as I sought out some temporary assistance due to my own personal needs for temporary assistance due to a long term illness where I am temporarily unable to work full time.
There are no more waiting lists for housing. “Supply outweighs the demand.”
If you earn over a few hundred dollars, you are not eligible for temporary benefits.
And, where there are resources, the wait is exponential, and the amount doesn’t feed a bird.
One could starve or be homeless by the time one receives support.
I met a woman, Joann, approximately 55 years of age, who has set up “home” on the park bench at the lake. She worked for a major corporation and was taken ill, and could no longer work. She ran out of sick time at work, and resources. Her “home sweet home” all year round, is a shopping cart filled with her most prized possessions, and a bench. She has a son who lives across the country who is unable to help her.
And, this can all happen to a U.S. citizen overnight.

I struggle to try to understand the alternative mindset and political views that are not in alignment with mine.
I once considered him to be the most intelligent man I know.
A man I deeply loved and adored.
A man that made my heart fill with joy.
A man in whose presence I once felt so safe…my “home.”
A man who I no longer recognize.
“Jesus, take the wheel.”
