We tend to idolize couples who look happy, but appearances are curated. What we don’t see is their intimacy or lack thereof…
That’s why idolizing others can set us up for disappointment because we’re comparing our insides to their outsides.
Love,
Wendy
Age is not an impediment…
Seasoned, sexy, and self-sufficient women over 50 are not ‘seniors’…
They are the new breed of sparkling, sovereign sheroes who set the bar for serenity, spirituality, and sass. 😉
Love,
Wendy
Educators…
as the person of influence in the room, our students often sync their emotions with ours.
It is up to us to model healthy interactions with others, while also setting clear boundaries and honoring the many perspectives present.
By respecting each voice and experience, we show our students that differences can coexist with dignity…something imperative in today’s culture and climate.
Most importantly, we must lead by example in honoring our own space, feelings, and values.
Love,
Wendy
When the world feels so broken and unkind, it is easy to feel disheartened…
and then…
you wake up to the words…”I wanted you to awaken with love in your heart ❤️.”
And I am reminded that there are still some with a loving heart and spirit willing to share love in our often inflamed world…
And I count as a blessing this man’s loving friendship.
Love,
Wendy
He was simply a warm body with a cold heart made of stone and a sharp tongue that cut my spirit, daily.
I traded him in for a heating blanket and reprieve from his self absorbed insatiable urge for attention, and haven’t missed the frostbite since.
Uh…yes, you! 😊
Love,
Wendy
Today, I remind myself that it’s okay to cry when the pain overwhelms me…It’s okay to grieve the body I wish I had right now…and I will again.
But it’s also important to honor the fierce woman who has carried myself through Lupus, spinal trauma, and loss…including 13 years of sustained, successful and healthy addiction recovery through holistic practices with a strong mindset of “I can do this,” and still show up every day with love, service, and hope.
That isn’t weakness. That is courage.
I acknowledge the setback without letting it define me, and it roots me firmly in the truth of my ongoing recovery, and the life I choose.
I honor the tears, the grief, and the physical pain without diminishing my resilience or accomplishments.
And so today…I rest and nourish my body as it reminds me that this is just a temporary setback where I simply overextended myself yesterday out of eagerness and love of my work.
“This too shall pass.”
Reflection: “How can I honor both my eagerness to engage with life and the wisdom of my body’s limits, so that my courage and resilience continue to grow without unnecessary suffering?”
Mantra: I embrace and surrender to what my body needs to thrive.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
The deepest, darkest and most vulnerable piece is what you offer…and where you begin. The right person will hold that piece close to their heart…every piece that is you.
It is a sacred exchange of trust…when you open the deepest, most fragile part of yourself, it becomes the seed of genuine connection…
And love takes root.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
Transparency offers a glimpse into another’s soul, revealing their courage…the sacred ground where intimacy is born.
In this space, we see each other clearly, fully, and with beautiful vulnerability…where love is free to grow…a Divine connection.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
.
It was Christmas, and the energy between them was electrifying—two souls lighting each other on fire in love. Sparks rose into the air, melting the snow as their joy illuminated the night.
Their love shone as brightly as the snow falling beneath the fading moonlight, and twinkled as brilliantly as the star atop the tree—a beacon of universal love.
And ever since, ever more…it feels like Christmas all year through.
Love,
Wendy
It feels like darkness has descended upon the fragile frame, burning to live…yet the energy is so depleted. The mind remains sharp and powerful…a gift that can sometimes weigh heavy when the body longs for rest. The body withdraws into a state of calm, preparing for deep renewal.
And still, within the quiet, a small ember glows…reminding us that even in surrender, there is continuity, and even in depletion, the spirit endures.
True story…
Ask yourself, “When my body feels depleted and my spirit seeks rest, how can I notice and nurture the small ember of light within me that continues to glow?”
Mantra:My body bellows, ‘I need deep loving care’… and immediately, I retreat.”
Love and blessings,
Wendy
