Masking Kindness – Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

What/WHO is hiding behind the mask???!!!

Sometimes people wear kindness like a mask…pretending at their discretion during performances to gain trust, attention, or control. But during intermission…we can peek behind the curtain and observe the seams unraveling, and the truth oozing through the facade.

What may appear as care on the surface can sometimes carry an undertone of control. Not all gestures are rooted in love…some are rooted in fear, insecurity, or the need to be seen.

Vindictiveness keeps us stuck in toxic patterns…in performances that mask old wounds.

True peace comes when we listen to others’ perspectives of the situation and recognize the illusion so that we can step away as a form of self-care, and honoring our own boundaries.

Reflection: Where in my life have I mistaken performance for a loving presence?
Mantra: I walk in peace…hand in hand with truth.

The soul is never fooled by appearances.

What True Kindness Is

Kindness is a spiritual practice—
One recognized not by fleeting gestures, but by authenticity and consistency.
It arises from spiritual alignment, guided by unwavering truth.
True kindness doesn’t shift with the crowd or disappear under pressure.
It holds steady, even in silence. Even in conflict. Even when no one is watching.
Integrity is innate…not performative.

Reflection: Where in my life have I mistaken niceness for true kindness?
Mantra: May I walk in kindness that is authentic…not performative.

And I wish you all…kindness, empathy, and true compassion. It is what we all deserve.

Love and blessings,

Wendy
