  • Life has been a bumpy ride of late. I'm still living with pain and it's exhausting me but I am showing up anyway and doing my best. And, just like everyone else, I am a work in progress muddling my way through it all. So whilst I am trying to embrace the journey, I'm also, in truth, struggling aswell. As always, my journals are my best support so that's where I go to dive deep into the whole process, find self compassion and a few other surprises too!
    As usual, please feel free to leave your comments down below. We can share and offer inspiration and support in this very special community of like~minded beings! Thank you so much for being here, keeping me company in our little corner of RUclips. Biggest, Softest, Everythings, Wendy. Xx

    “I tried being normal for awhile but it got boring so I went back to being me.” Who defines normal and who defines bonkers? It’s self defeating to “fit in”. Also, I often think about the announcement on an airplane that tells us to put our own oxygen mask on before helping others. We can always see your light Wendy, even when it’s very very dim. It continues to guide us ❤️

I am going thru what I call the "transitional phase," and it's quite physically painful, mentally exhausting. However, I find peace when I pursue my creativity because it makes me happy. You truly inspired and know that you are helping others by sharing your pain, your beautiful poems, your paintings... Thank You for sharing.

    Have just gone through cancer and healing from surgeries. Not complaining, I am grateful things were caught in time. I really cocooned during this period. My problem now is coming out of this cocoon. Getting back to doing things I loved. Becoming motivated to create again. It is so hard to keep a healthy balance in this life. You have been quite comforting to me these past few months. I will continue to try and pull out of this slump I am in and get back to shining my light. Thank you!

    My mum who passed away a few weeks ago LOVED Llandudno and we visited it so many times when I was a child and adult. Like you, I found it so inspirational and it sparked my own creativity which has remained with me ever since. Mum brought me up to believe in fairies saying they were our protectors and would always be there when we needed a gentle hug. I have never forgotten what she said and now I am here grieving my loss and missing her so much I only hope that my mum is watching over me alongside one of her beloved fairies x

    Hi Wendy! Greetings from a Wendi in Michigan in the US, where it is quite cold and snowy, and will be for quite a few weeks yet. This video really hit home with me as I've been struggling with depression for the last month or so, and not shining very brightly. I'm getting to work every day and doing what needs to be done for my elderly mother, to whom I am live-in caregiver, but getting through just the essentials of each day really saps what little strength I can muster, and there is nothing left over. I've dealt with this my whole life and know to "cocoon" as you put it, and take care of myself until it passes. I feel for you with your pain. It is exhausting and sucks the very life from you if given the opportunity. I'm so glad you are doing what you need to recover, including maintaining your creative practice. Also glad you found the strength and opportunity to let us know what is going on with you. I, for one, am very grateful for your light. Love and warmth. 💜❤

    About being a bit bonkers - My mom once called me weird. At first, I was hurt by her characterization of me, but then I made weird into a beautiful thing. It gives me more room for behavior that others might not have. Recently I found this definition "suggesting something supernatural; uncanny." I was all about that! Yes, I am supernatural in my essence, and I am absolutely uncanny at being me!
    May we all be a bit bonkers/weird! Bright Blessings NMRK

    A flickering light alternates between shining and resting/recharging. And a bright light looks dim in the darkness. If you are passing through a challenging time, don't burn your light out, but recharge it, so you can shine brightly when the time is right. Love and light to you. Joy, shine, and find Grace and healing, Wendy and all my creative friends!
    Please remember, you may think your light is flickering, but others still think you are sparkling!!!

I had to quit my internship at a yoga studio, and it was my dream job, but the owner was taking advantage of me working overtime and babysitting(which wasnt in our agreement) for free even after saying she'd start paying me for all the extra stuff i did outside the internship. I cried for weeks and still do bc it is the only local crystal shop/yoga studio around. It was the only job i have ever loved and i know its just a step in the right direction bc now i know what to do and i have completed my Reiki levels 1&2. Im a certified practioner and have completed all the necessary training hours. I keep telling myself "you manifested it once you can do it again!" So thank you again

    HI Wendy, You really are an awesome lady. I so enjoyed this video. I especially loved when you said that you didn’t mind if people thought you odd. I bet that most of us see ourselves that way. I actually prefer to not be like everyone else. My favorite quote from the movie Practical Magic was “my darling girl, when are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage.” Aunt Frances. I also loved your poem. You are really talented. My mom loved fairies too. I think of her when you are talking about the fairies or painting them. She had a book of poems she wrote about “The Wind Fairies” They were mischievous and funny. We all need to take the time we need to rest where needed, isolate when needed, heal where needed. Relax and definitely give yourself the space you need. I’m always happy to see you but I don’t put the requirement on you to produce anything. Just be you. That’s why you have followers. You are wonderful. 😊

    These can build up over time in our bodies and cause a lot of pain… it is definitely worth checking her Book and videos out. It is life changing…

    have you had x-rays of your back and hip yet? It's a good first step to see what's going on inside-and CT scans or MRI if needed. That way, you know that the intervention you are choosing is right for the underlying problem. I tried different treatments for months before getting scans and finding out my sacro iliac joint was swollen and I had a partially herniated disc. Once I found that out, I got the right intervention and got very good relief.

    My dear Wendy it was so good to spend time with you today. Thank you for sharing time with us no matter you’re not feeling in full healthy mode.
    I loved the old church and love beautiful architecture too. The details are exquisite and the artistry of the masons just amazing work.
    You are perfectly formed as intended, not bonkers at all. To be honest I never seemed to really fit in growing up, had to work harder in my work life than most to feel valued. After retirement in 2014 my life slowly reached the pace perfect for me. I’ve found the artistic side that was buried inside. But there are days the back pains and body aches get the best of me. Thank God I have a dog that helps me keep moving pain or not as it may be a shorter or longer walk but still moving.
    Your poem is absolutely beautiful and written from that beautiful place in your heart and soul.
    Wendy, no matter what your feeling your light still shines, your words of wisdom and honesty touch so many of us that love and understand what you say to each of us. Your painting are expressions of beauty that is of You.
    I’m so very happy to call you a friend and continue to pray for your full healing. Much love and softest hugs. Hello to James too.
    I spend a lot of time alone and your videos brighten my days. ❤❤❤ Have a good week and see you next time. When the heat is off spend the time at home as your health is most important. Coldness exasperates the pain I have found at least for me. 🥰🧚‍♀️🧚🏻🦋🙏🤗😘❤️By the way I loved watching you paint Shine, she is glorious. 😀

    Personally i love being bonkers. I refuse to try and fit in. Im me, at 60 I have finally found the courage to be myself.

    I absolutly agree Wendy about selfcare and more moments of rest. For example i like my moments of daydreaming. I believe that this moments are healing. With love, Britt

    If the heating is off making your studio not useable, you should be applying for a rebate on your rent.

    You really do feel like a kindred spirit sometimes what with your creativity and past career. I've certainly been going through a bumpy time of late and have had back and shoulder pain due to the stress.
    Did you ever experience bullying because people misunderstood you or just couldn't accept your quirks?
    Sending gentle hugs your way 💜 x

    Hey there 🥰
    My RUclips name is everything’s ok and the fairy card you picked today really connected for me. Thanks so much for sharing your spark no matter how bright or dim. You really help the collective to learn to accept ourselves and be true just by being you. Thank you ❤🌸I really want to connect with more people. Just putting that out to the universe. ✌🏽❤️

    I love watching the process of you bringing Shine to life one brush stroke at a time. Ooo.. just dawned on me that could be a metaphor for how we develop as people, one brush stroke at a time. Hope you feel better soon. X

    Hi Wendy~May I join your club? Shame on anybody who judges you. Cold environments mixed with sore hips, is a unhappy situation. As people age, sometimes they fall into one of two categories. Grumps or Giving Loving Souls. I fall into the GLS category. Life has become too short to complain. So toss some fairy dust around, and sit in a comfy, warm palace with your tea, and smile. People will wonder what you are up to. I'm a proud bonker member of your club. (how do you spell bonkers?) Also. I was reading "Big Magic" last night, and who's voice was in my head as the narrator? YOU! It was great! Yesterday, March 18th, we had white-out conditions nearly all day. I live in the NW/Lower Peninsula area of Michigan, here in the U.S., and a late winter or early spring snow is not uncommon due the the increased moisture in the air. XX

    What is a Bowen treatment. I can't say as I am familiar with that. Is it helping you any? Are you finding relief due to it?

    You could be low on Serotonin, Vitamin D, Vitamin B 12. Griffonia (which is an African Plant) contains 5-HTP, a precursor of Serotonin. The following is a brand which sells a natural source of Griffonia : Arkopharma Griffonia - 40 capsules . Supplementing Vitamin D and B12 could also help.

    Pain is hard to understand, no one can see your pain and the feelings it gives you. Hope you can get relief soon. By the way your poem was amazing. We creative people can express ourselves through our work it’s a special quality we are lucky to have been given. Take it easy, I am sure the cold does not help , what about a heat pad they last quite some time

    I love watching your channel. Whatever light you do have whether it be small or large, high moments or low moments, I am grateful for what you share. All your comments referring to the overall theme of being yourself remind me that I'm human and it's okay. I need the reminders. Thank you, Wendy. I hope you feel overall better and know that you are cared for from my end.

    WOW! I can So Identify with so much of what you are saying. In the past year, maybe two, my world has gone thru so many changes. Rest is definitely necessary for survival and creativity, "lazy" is an ugly word, as is the word discipline, for me anyway, I much prefer your term, devotion .And outside "the box"?....do I really need a box? You do you!!!, rest, rejuvenate, and keep on keeping on. Wishing you well and much healing.

    Thanks for sharing Wendy. I too suffer with back pain and I am reading a book to become free of it. It's making a lot of sense so far. It's called The Way Out: A Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven Approach to Healing Chronic Pain. By Alan Gordon and Alon Ziv.
    It's taught me how the brain learns chronic pain and we can unlearn it via training
    Take care

    Aren’t the ebbs and flows of life exciting to be in though. We’re also looking for a home on wheels that will extend our views now more than before.

    My favourite quote from Alice is, “ all the best people are bonkers” 🥰 But it is the quote from Gods word that has helped me a lot lately, “ Your strength will be in keeping calm and showing trust.” It calms my ❤️ when all in the 🌍 is not good.

    Gosh Wendy I do hope You all get a rent reduction in regards to the heating situation , apart from the fact that does not help with Your pain , You can not work in the cold, the paint drying situation must be frustrating too .Maybe getting together with everyone else in the building will be a great way to sort things out for the Good of All . Sending warm hugs to You! Love the Mum hug cardy xx I think Bonkers is one of our many Super Powers hahhah , I am always asking the things I bring home where they would love to live in the house , and asking the House what it thinks too LOL x Maybe we need to have a Badge or patch with the word BONKERS on it xxxx WE ALL NEED THOSE QUIET TIMES FOR REFLECTION AND GOING INWARDS so WONDEROUS things can bubble up from the depths of Our Souls ,instead of always DOING DOING DOING and depleating ourselves ... as many Wise People have said WE ARE HUMAN BE-INGS not Human Doings !

    I have chronic pain from arthritis in my knees, I get shots and take painkillers, but it's still there. I'm so sorry you're suffering with your back. The lack of heat in your studio is probably making it worse. Can you maybe get a small space heater? And I have consciously removed myself from "hustle culture"...I'm fortunate to be able to work from home, and give myself permission to create and play and just BE. Thank you for your videos, I look forward to them. Hugs. :)
