Allow yourself to cry…

It’s the soul’s way of releasing what one may have been holding onto for way too long. It’s the soul’s way of cleansing and surrendering.

It’s the soul reminding us to release the burdens we choose to bear, and to trust that the Universe will take it from here…IF we are willing to give over.

Cry…It is a body, mind, and spiritual renewal, grounding you in your own being and awakening your heart’s capacity for love.

And then…

Start living again…your new normal…without comparison of the shadows of the past.

It will look different, and feel different…and…

Depending upon your mindset and openness, it can surpass all of your past experiences, growing into a life filled with deeper, unwavering love, tender, unspoken intimacy, and profound, soul-stirring kinship.

Love and blessings,

Not everything has to have two sides. Sometimes there is a straight path to the final destination that just takes the back roads.

A straight path can absolutely wind through back roads, taking its time, gathering wisdom, and finding its own way home…

The route may be long and unexpected, but still steady in its purpose.

I am a woman of unwavering heart and faith…and even through all that I have endured, I still choose to believe in love, in transformation, and in “something” larger guiding it all. It is my journey of living deeply, loving unapologetically and experiencing profound spiritually heightened awareness.

Now, after more than 13 years of deep inner work, epiphanies, joy and disappointments, I want to mark this moment as both an ending and a beginning… 

Of a renewed sense of acceptance of what is in this season.

And, as the trees undress, freely letting go of their remaining leaves like one who is well aware that change is inevitable, and there is no holding onto these branches, I am comforted in knowing that nature promises a spring with every winter…

And although this season brings vibrant color…it exits with barely a hint of what was…

And even in the heart of this spiritual woman, I anxiously and with a bit of hesitation, release the last leaf hanging gingerly…ready to fall.

And I whisper to myself…

“Just remember, in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow, lies the seed that with the sun’s love, in the spring, becomes…

the rose.”

Love and blessings,

P.S. Love and new life are always quietly waiting beneath every surrender. ❤️

As I awaken, I am greeted by Dan’s heartfelt empathy and loving support in a poem that speaks of awareness, gratitude, and the quiet strength that arises through life’s shared challenges…a gentle reminder of the warmth and connection we hold through our words and writing.

His words uplift me and offer healing on my journey towards wellness.

Our connection is grounded in a shared spiritual friendship and experiences, and his writing reminds me of the power of human connection to lift us, even over the most challenging moments.

In this brief reflection, I celebrate our friendship and healing that words and unexpected connection can bring.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

My friend asked me if I thought love is real after he ended a relationship with the “love of his life.” And, I have been single for many years after two unsuccessful long term marriages, and one long term “committed” (on my side) relationship…

My answer? “Yes. Love is real—but it’s not static.”

It evolves, changes form, and sometimes ends. Romantic love can fade, but that doesn’t erase its truth when it was present. And love in its broader sense (friendship, family, soul connections, divine love) is enduring. Many couples do grow together through midlife and beyond, but it requires honesty, intentional effort, shared growth, and in my humble opinion, a spiritual life that encompasses a belief in a source that loves, guides, and protects, and one that two people can honor together with a similar mindset, morals, and values. It is a spiritual space of love, safety, kindness, as well as freedom and individuality to think, speak and honor.

I’ll leave you with this…when someone leaves a long-term relationship for someone new, it doesn’t mean the love they shared was false. In my opinion and experience, It means they stopped choosing it, nurturing it, or aligning with it.

Love is “non linear” where we are living and experiencing love in all its forms…ups and downs…ins and outs…back and forth…acknowledging that it can be a rich and valuable experience even with its non-linear nature.

We choose to continue to breathe life into love, or we choose to let it die.

Most importantly, when we love ourselves first and practice self care before all else, we are in a position to thrive in love with another along the long and sometimes winding road.

Love,

Wendy
