Off Duty:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
You don’t have to stop loving someone in order to stop accommodating the behaviors that are destroying your peace…You don’t have to keep participating in the cycle that leads to a wild goose chase. If you are a follower of my work, you have read the words I write and speak often…”Peace begins with me” My peace is non-negotiable. My peace is my power. And…
Keep reading“Shhhh” Culture:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
Move Quietly. Although I am a writer and an author with a following of wonderful souls…I’ve learned that not every move needs to be announced, explained, witnessed, or understood. There is a stunning freedom in stepping out of the need to let others know where you are, what you’re doing, who you are with…or what comes next. Peace comes from reclaiming that privacy. Those who…
Keep readingFreedom Without Fanfare:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
Privacy protects my peace. No sharing. No fanfare. No request for validation… Just… Peace. Love and blessings, Wendy
Keep readingCome Wonder With Me:Spiritual Wellness-“Soul Notes” – Love, Wendy
Some of my deepest writing doesn’t begin with me sitting down to write…it begins at 2 or 3 a.m., when I awaken with words and vivid pictures already formed in my mind… A spiritual bolt? Another” awakening”? Or simply the Universe refusing to let me sleep until I pay attention?… Come wonder with me… I’ve been developing a theory of spiritual wellness centered on four…
Keep readingThe Mission-Accomplished:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
I didn’t fall out of love…I began to deeply dislike the person he had become…and perhaps always was… Selfish, deceitful, untrustworthy and arrogant-devoid of integrity… And now…”at last”… he is simply a gentle rain in my soul rather than the wind beneath my wings. The shift from love turning into profound disappointment, and finally settling into quiet indifference—is one of the most profound and quiet…
Keep readingPolitics and Emotional Regulation…Or Lack Thereof – Love, Wendy
It is physically painful and emotionally jarring to observe so many in society devoid of empathy, lacking the emotional intelligence and grace to hear and respect others’ perspectives, and choosing instead to purposefully berate and judge others by becoming combative without provocation. I also read the most evil and hateful comments on social media,…And for this person in particular, I am reminded of what a…
Keep readingSpiritual Wellness:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
Spiritual well-being is not necessarily about religion, in fact…it is not the only pathway to spiritual wellness… It is about exploring what it is in our bodies that connects to nature where we honor our own human understanding of connection, consciousness and curiosity with intention, passion and commitment. I hold a certification in Spiritual Wellness…AND… I experience daily a profound sense of connection to what…
Keep readingThe Final Curtain:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
I am that black or white kind of gal…not interested whatsoever in superficial pleasantries or awkward small talk… I have so much to offer…I seek the same energy in return… Others who are genuine, who are not indifferent to my life story and who actually want to “go deeper” in order to strengthen our bond.And of course…vice versa… And I am definitely not called to…
Keep readingLet’s Dance:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
If you can meet me at my spiritual frequency…I will meet you on the dance floor. Love and blessings, Wendy
Keep readingGame Over – Love, Wendy
I find it so amusing that when a man realizes he has been caught in years of deceit…and in addition, that they have lost all control over the decisions I make, the friends I keep, or the words that I write, they block and hide. You can run…but you can never hide…although I’m no longer playing “hide and seek.” What I seek is “truth” 🙄,…
Keep readingSTRUT…DON’T WALK:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
For years I walked around with gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe…slowing my pace and keeping me from moving forward. Yesterday, I finally yanked off that stubborn, sticky piece of gum and threw it in the trash… A twelve-year marathon that “trained” me to walk with discernment, and to never again dance with the devil. No longer dragging my feet… Strutting into my…
Keep readingWhat We Choose Becomes Our Reality:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
The best gifts in life are free.Freedom is not the absence of pain, but the presence of truth… It arrives when we choose to release illusion and sit in our vulnerability of who we are…and where we are. It is the quiet release from cycles that harm,the courage to stop romanticizing familiarityand to choose what is consistent, reciprocal, and willing. Even in grief, freedom speaks…removing…
Keep readingA CULTURAL SHIFT…The Human Condition or The Human Disconnection:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
To Vicky, Bill, Lorraine, Miriam, Mickey, Dan and David…This one’s for you. Yes, I write and post about my life experiences, relationships, and disappointments, and I also live a life that most people know nothing about.People can be physically present while seeming strangely absent from the human moment happening right in front of them.There are probably many forces behind this…technology and constant interruption, shorter attention…
Keep readingLifelong Friends:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
For Vicky and Bill: Having a best friend of decades long is one of life’s enduring graces…and a kind of wealth that has nothing to do with money. A lifelong friend knows your happiest memories, your deepest heartaches, your greatest triumphs, and the parts of your story you’ve shared with no one else. They’ve witnessed your growth, your mistakes, your laughter, your tears, and they’ve…
Keep readingRestoration:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
Serenity and peace are an early Sunday morning walk, taken slowly and purposefully…listening to my favorite music and watching the pond water ripple as the wind gently blows across its surface. Nowhere to rush to, but excited to get home to bake fresh gluten-free Chinese almond cookies…then enjoy a beautiful cup of coffee while looking around at the haven I’ve created and thinking about how…
Keep readingSoulmate:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
When the soul is ready…the mate appears… not because love has finally arrived, but because the soul has evolved and has become willing to recognize it. Love and blessings, Wendy
Keep readingL-O-V-E:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
I observe three languages in today’s culture: love, hate, and indifference. Indifference is often overlooked. Most people think the opposite of love is hate, but in many relationships, indifference can feel even more painful. Hate still implies emotional investment…indifference communicates, “You no longer matter to me.” Love often seems conditional. It is freely offered when there is agreement, admiration, or usefulness…yet quickly withdrawn when conflict,…
Keep readingCall To Action – Love, Wendy
Today, I sat with a dear friend whose wife died by suicide. The details are so disturbing, and my heart is broken for this beautiful woman who felt she had no way out other than to take her own life, leaving my dear friend on a long and winding road of grief, unanswered questions, and profound sorrow. My heart is heavy and broken for my…
Keep readingFootprints:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
The rarest kind of closeness is feeling safe in someone’s presence… a touch, a look, or a quiet moment speaks louder than words… The kind of connection where silence itself becomes unspoken communication that is soul-deep and intuitive. It is someone walking beside you, or perhaps the memory of someone whose presence you still recognize. It is the quiet rhythm of two lives moving in…
Keep readingA Rich Inheritance:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy
There’s something so heartwarming about watching your adult children in their own homes, re-creating the ordinary moments they once observed growing up—hosting a gathering, preparing a meal, or parenting with so much love and affection. I notice the way they interact with others. Their words and actions reflect respect, empathy, and a genuine sense of human connection… I notice the way they care for me,…
