Today’s Outlook:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
Today’s outlook… calm roads, clearing skies, laughter, connection, presence…the gift… JOY… the reward. It’s all about the lens we choose to focus on. Love and blessings, Wendy
Keep readingEmpath Intuition:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
Empaths are authenticity machines. We intuitively feel when something isn’t genuine… We don’t need a story to unravel—we recognize when words, energy, and behavior do not align. When a story doesn’t feel authentic, we often know it almost instantly…it performs… And when it is authentic…it is graceful, effortless and it resonates deep in the soul. Love and blessings, Wendy
Keep readingEarned Access:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
A wall keeps danger out, but it also keeps love out. A boundary is different. A boundary has a gate.You decide who enters, how quickly, and under what conditions. You control the gate. A boundary says, “I am open to connection, and I am observing. I will move at a pace that feels safe for me. I will always honor my needs before all else.…
Keep readingThe Story of Ordinary Moments:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
People reveal themselves in dozens of ordinary moments through patterns of micro-behaviors. Character isn’t usually exposed in dramatic events…it is revealed in the quiet, ordinary and purposeful choices people make every day. Being consistent in showing up in a relationship. Following through without excuses. Remembering what matters to you. Making you feel emotionally safe instead of emotionally uncertain. Taking accountability rather than deflecting. Accountability is…
Keep readingAn Invisible Touch:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
From “me” to “we.” A shift so profound, it feels like Christmas in July. 🎄 Life can change in a heartbeat… and sometimes, the most beautiful gifts arrive unexpectedly… Smiles. Laughter. Warmth. Presence…Alignment of morals and values… The gift of being seen, cherished, and met with an eagerness to love… An “invisible touch.” The most meaningful things in life are not things we can hold…
Keep readingA Constructive Response:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
When an insect continues to circle your head incessantly, buzzing in your ear, you try to swat it away repeatedly, but unsuccessfully. Eventually, instinct kicks in, and you swat it to the floor. Remember… when you repeatedly poke me, jab at me, and purposely inflict pain, get ready to be slammed—metaphorically… Because I don’t get even… I just write about it. Love and blessings, Wendy
Keep readingTake A Bow:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
Pointing the finger is a way of sidestepping your own accountability, where your actions speak of years of deceit and lies. If you put that finger down, you would have to acknowledge the dozens of indiscretions, distortions, and false narratives you’ve presented to others. Posting the most intimate feelings about a relationship on social media is one of the least endearing things I can imagine…
Keep readingLike A Rock:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
There comes a time when protecting your peace means walking away from relationships…no matter who the relationship is with…that repeatedly disrespect your boundaries, dismiss your experiences, and refuse to speak with kindness. Relationships don’t require us to agree on every issue, nor do they require perfection. They should, however, offer a soft place to fall when life hurts…a place where you don’t have to brace…
Keep readingDivine Redesign:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
It may look like an obstacle…it may feel like it weighs a ton…and you may not understand it in the moment… but in my lived experience…it is a divine re-design through a spiritual re-direction to true love, joy, peace and extraordinary experiences that you were looking for in all the wrong places… Trust the detour. Take the road less traveled with an eager mind and…
Keep readingTime:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
Time has changed everything… and nothing at all. Love, Wendy
Keep readingUnfiltered:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
The filters cover the wrinkles…the earned character and badges of honor. They smooth the sagging skin that quietly bears witness to a life fully lived. Filtering reflects our longing to reclaim youth and outward beauty. But remember…no lens has ever been invented that can enhance kindness, deepen compassion, or filter the light of a beautiful soul. Love and blessings, Wendy
Keep readingBreadcrumbs:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
Breadcrumbs tease the palate…but never nourish the soul… My cup runneth over. Love and blessings, Wendy
Keep readingThe Road Less Traveled:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
Lift people up. Make them feel valued, appreciated, and loved. When you align yourself with those who target good people because of their own insecurities, biases, or fears, you send a powerful message of disregard toward someone who has done nothing to deserve it. When you genuinely care about someone, you walk alongside them. You don’t leave them standing alone on the side of the…
Keep reading“Radical Acceptance: That I Would Be Good” – Love, Wendy
Tara Brach tells the story of Marilyn sitting with her dying mother night after night, holding her hand, meditating with her, and telling her she loved her. Most of the time her mother was unconscious. Then, shortly before her death, she opened her eyes and looked directly at her daughter and said: “All my life I thought something was wrong with me.” Tara writes that…
Keep readingAlways and Forever:Unwritten and Unfolding – Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
When a relationship has history, a deep-rooted spiritual connection, emotional intimacy, and a bond that neither time nor distance has been able to erase—a love that continues to find its way back to itself—I believe that even where we differ, including in our political views, love can still find its way home. And when the time comes, we will know what to do. Love and…
Keep reading“Too Nice” is a Trauma Response: Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
Being ‘too nice’—something I have learned to curb as I began honoring my own needs and desires first—is often praised, but sometimes it develops as a survival strategy rather than a genuine expression of kindness…a “trauma response.” Those of us who grew up in environments where love, approval, safety, or acceptance felt conditional may learn to keep the peace by putting everyone else’s needs ahead…
Keep readingLoud Whispers…Silent Truth:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
READ BETWEEN THE LINES… LISTEN TO WHAT IS NOT BEING SAID. WHEN YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN OF THE QUIET NOISE—THE LOUD WHISPERS—IT IS AN EAR-OPENING EXPERIENCE THAT IS DEAFENING. WHAT IS BELIEVED TO BE A SAFELY GUARDED SECRET HAS ALREADY BECOME FRONT-PAGE NEWS. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO DON’T SEEM TO KNOW ARE THE ONES STILL WRITING THE GOSSIP COLUMN. POWER OFTEN MISTAKES SILENCE FOR IGNORANCE. AFTERTHOUGHT: Simply…Loud…
Keep readingDominoes:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
A single domino falls, and suddenly an entire chain of events unfolds. Sometimes the first domino was set in motion years earlier by something we didn’t choose—a childhood lesson, a painful experience, an illness, a relationship, a loss. Other times it’s a decision we make that quietly changes the direction of everything that follows. This image below of the dominoes suggests that one event directly affects…
Keep readingUnlearning is a Learned Mindset:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
We make choices and decisions based on what we have been taught and what has been modeled as normal. Yet, unlearning can also be a learned behavior…one that is mindful, healthy, and transformative. It invites us to open ourselves to new perspectives, challenge old assumptions, and view situations through a wider lens. Growth often begins not with learning something new, but with being willing to…
Keep readingEmergence:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
Growth is emergence into a new way of thinking and being, shaped by experiencing our experiences with an open mind, open eyes, and the willingness to see through a wider lens. It is the process of allowing life, reflection, mistakes, insight, and awareness to transform how we understand ourselves, others, and the world around us. Through this process, we evolve into something expanded, more conscious,…
