Perspective, Reality and Truth:A Hammer to the Heart – Love, Wendy
Reality whispered to Perspective,“Use discernment… It is not what you think you see.” Perspective did not take it to heart. Reality tapped Perspective on the shoulder and said,“Please, look again.” Perspective did not heed the warning. He continued to view “it” through his own limited frame of reference…“There is goodness in everyone…”— but without boundaries. Some time later, Reality took a hammer to the heart…
Keep readingMirrors:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
I meet you where you are.I show up for you as you show up for me.I communicate with you as you communicate with me.I am there for you, as you are there for me. I am your mirror.I reflect back to you what you offer… All or nothing. I behave according to my character…regardless of yours. Soft heart. Strong spine. Nothing left to prove. Nothing…
Keep reading“Let Freedom Ring” – Love, Wendy
A blanket of corruption Conditional love Fair weather friendships May-December relationships “Bursts” of kindness that fades at a whim… Silence in the chaos… Entitlement over empathy. Cunning whispers over conscience. Self-serving “souls” Environments where love is transactional…loyalty is seasonal…and kindness is performative… Systemic. Cultural. Normalized. Corruption isn’t a flaw in the system — it is the system. But here’s the deeper question: Is this truly “new”…or is…
Keep reading“But, You Don’t Look Sick!” About Lupus – Love, Wendy
“But you don’t look sick!” I hear this too often. Instead of smiling one more time without knowing how to respond, especially during this current flare…I am sharing this in the hope that those who truly want to understand what I — and millions of others live with, will pause to read and learn about Lupus. For nearly six years after my last serious flare,…
Keep readingThe End of the Innocence:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
It can never go back to “the way it used to be” after this “thing” happened. You cannot unscramble an egg…unsee the truth…unring a bell… Once trust is broken or friendship is betrayed,there is an involuntary pivot.A permanent shift in direction. What was once a line in the sandis now a fault line beneath the surface —a fracture running deep within the soul. That’s the…
Keep readingTug-Of-War – Love, Wendy
The tug-of-war only works if you keep holding the rope. I let go, you fell backwards…I moved on…you’re down for the count. My struggle was never stronger than my willingness to resist it. “Knockout…” AND “Blocked.” Love and blessings, Wendy
Keep readingKindness Is A Spiritual Practice:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
Kindness IS a spiritual practice… Kindness is presence. It’s pausing long enough to really see someone. A soft word, a steady shoulder — a reminder that none of us are invisible, and that we all need the sweetness of being seen and heard… in real time. Kindness is not grand. It’s attention. It’s listening. It’s asking, “How are you, really?” — and allowing space for…
Keep readingMind Breath:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
We get to be selective about what enters our nervous system. Birdsong literally promotes parasympathetic activation.Drama elevates cortisol, triggering sympathetic response…Rest and digest vs. fight or flight. Spiritual truth meets biology. The Northern Cardinal is a symbol of vitality, presence, and reassurance.Not noise.Not chaos.Presence. I did not withdraw from people.I refined my frequency. Beyond symbolism…here is the science-meets-spirit piece: When you are still enough to…
Keep readingWhere Spirituality Meets Humanity:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
The last 14 years of my recovery from prescription drug addiction, through my inner work, has afforded me more than ample opportunity to learn to value autonomy, tolerate discomfort, speak up when my boundaries are being disrespected and learning to survive not being liked by everyone. I am “re-wired” differently. Learning how to try to not take things personally, an ardent task, has changed my…
Keep readingLove Is Healing:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
I am a teacher… and many days, I am the student… My precious second grade student said to me after reading a story about a pet that makes a little boy feel better after he is injured,“Love is healing.”Out of the mouths of babes… Some days teach you humility.Some days teach you to love deeper.And some days… you learn painful truths. The people you expect…
Keep reading“Sometimes…Love Just Ain’t Enough – Love, Wendy
Two painful truths have become clear to me lately: you really can’t go home again… and sometimes love just isn’t enough. After deciding—again, and this time with my whole body—to let him go and begin releasing him from my heart, something quietly jarring happened. All day I had been receiving signs—little whispers from Spirit—that I would “hear from him.” And in a way, I did…I strongly felt…
Keep readingHealing from Lupus:Acceptance Promotes Peace – Love, Wendy
As I continue to head towards remission from Lupus, there is something so sacred about 3:23 am when the world hasn’t started asking anything of you yet. Coffee warming your hands, Calm Radio on Pandora holding the nervous system steady, heat softening your back, and your words flowing freely…that’s medicine too. Deep, “lived and learned” medicine…WISDOM. I know movement and stress will invite the swelling…
Keep readingRecovery Coaching – Love, Wendy
When you regulate your body…when you speak to yourself with kindness and empathy…and when you choose to live in peace and truth regardless of external circumstances, you intentionally interrupt the signal of dysregulation in both body and mind. Within this mindset lies the possibility of healing alongside the ongoing processing and inner work that anxiety often reveals. Rather than resisting the trigger, we validate it,…
Keep readingShowing Up and Growing Up – Love, Wendy
I have a son. I am not available to raise another adult who has not finished growing up. Many men are deeply uncomfortable when they are not desired or made the center of a woman’s universe. Instead of curiosity or self-reflection, they resort to self righteousness…dismissal, minimization, or narrative control. I have witnessed this pattern repeatedly, across dozens of interactions. Emotional immaturity. I would rather…
Keep readingBe A Champion – Love, Wendy
I observe others who are living in their riches and skewed perception where they have never faced adversity or serious challenges that have affected their peace and wellbeing. If you’re not in the “ring” getting your ass kicked, I’m not interested in your “don’t worry about a thing, everything‘s going to be all right” ignorant response… Many times things do not turn out all right……
Keep reading“I Hope You Dance” – Love, Wendy
I’m learning to hear the music without the weight of meaning or memory, and in that quiet space, I recognize acceptance, resilience, and hope that has allowed me to open the space for love to re—enter… And I dance. Love and blessings, Wendy
Keep readingA Human Cushion – Love, Wendy
We cross paths with people every day who are quietly surviving unimaginable loss.Often, they don’t need to be fixed—they just need to be heard. A little empathy, kindness, and presence can matter more than we’ll ever know. When we create a safety net for others and we carry that frequency…one of “I see you,” others sense it and unburden themselves there. That’s not accidental. It’s…
Keep readingRoll the Credits – Love, Wendy
You can love someone and still despise what they stand for—and sometimes, quietly, painfully, that contradiction kills the love altogether. Beliefs are no longer abstract; they are mirrors of character. What once inspired admiration—intellect, confidence, brilliance—can be stripped bare by alignment with cruelty, intimidation, and moral cowardice. Respect erodes when someone chooses bullies over courage and kindness, power over humanity, and noise over conscience. There…
Keep readingTrust the Universe – Love, Wendy
As in a phrase popularized by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. , “Trust the moral arc of the universe…” Choose integrity, and turning it over knowing that alignment brings peace, and misalignment brings its own consequences. Make peace with circumstances that will not make peace with you…and have faith. Love and blessings, Wendy
Keep readingRock On! – Love, Wendy
When you are blessed with brilliance but crippled with insecurity, your intended message does not arrive with its full power, because doubt distorts the delivery. Arrive with assertiveness… Rock that confidence! Inspire innate talents and abilities to emerge. Brilliance reaches its full expression when confidence leads the way—vibrant, undiluted, and unapologetic. Rock on! Love and blessings, Wendy
