      Wendy it has been a joy watching your videos. I must have started during the pandemic, from the beginning of The Unexpected Gypsy, and have witnessed you blossom. I just went back to check and listened to your poem of five years ago, you truly are unstoppable and deserve the recognition from RUclips.
      Best wishes on your journey, the continued success of your art business and your search for place in this world.

    You truly inspire me. I am on a quest to accept my new life in a wheel chair. It is hard to let go of my fears of limitations, and also loss is some part of my womanhood. You bring me happiness and joy, of which I find so little of in my life these days. Keep dancing my friend, for you and for me!

      You can do it! I believe in you! Take your time grieving for your losses too though with tons of soft self- compassion. Perhaps a journal to assist your quest. I think you will become even more creative to navigate your extra challenges. Many blessings on your quest Brenda xx

      Brenda ,I am also adjusting to having a brain injury after accident.Noticing I need people around me who are kind and allow me to be me!Different me,but still me.Be patient and gentle with yourself. I have loss of vision which means adjusting and acknowledging my art is changing.But after a year of this different me;I want you to know you are beautiful,loved and even if you can look out the window and see nature,the nights,anything that fills your heart do that.Do you!I wish you well and though it sometimes feels impossible,don't give up!Society puts up many obstacles for those of us w "disabilities "(I prefer different abilities!)Sometimes I just colour(oil pastels are great forgiving and I like to blend w my fingers(I also broke my back neck face and head so can't do details!!!)BE kind to yourself and take note of any lil thing that brings you happiness and write them down so you can reread and remind yourself(even if it's just a few words or if u can't write a lil sketch)I had to talk to my ego on this one! Blessings to you dear one.

    I too am a creature of habit and have noticed as I’ve gotten older (74) now that I do not like being around a lot of people and even when I am sometimes the atmosphere seems so loud that at times it is jarring. Not sure if others find this to be true.
    I loved your video as I do all of them but you staycation seemed to help you appear more relaxed.
    I love your latest art pieces and know they will be perfect after you have percolated on them awhile.
    Enjoy your time with James. The camera was in perfect view. Much love and hugs to you both . ❤❤❤

I'm realizing just how much my abilities have changed with the passing of time and health adjustments. Life is good just different from the dreams I had while taking care of my husband. It's been a year since his passing and I am surprised at my reaction and the process of obtaining my life again. I so enjoy your insight to time and life control. Thank you Wendy for your time and sharing your experiences. Much love from Montana USA.

    Hi Wendy, loved this video. Your paintings for the art show are beautiful, with their little cards. The gallery downstairs is just lovely with the lights. I can feel the ambiance. I want to acknowledge the beautiful points you spoke about. "Adding layers of meaning" to other painting still awaiting completion. To follow thru with "the intention" of the work and letting the "emotional energy" come off the painting.
    ( I paraphrased slightly) the golden treasure was when you said, to trust yourself to keep finding the light. Something opened up to where you could walk alongside your routine a little differently. And it's given you energy and it shows in the way you speak, move and painted the chalk board signs which are joyful.
    I want to wish you and James a lovely anniversary. What an art that is to stay ❤ together 17 years and 30years of friendship and love. The autumn months are glorious when they become cooler and leaves and nature changes. It restores me with breath and beauty. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard and deeply moved by was from 1987, by Patrick Swayze - called
    'She's Like The Wind" from the movie Dirty Dancing. He sang from his soul and his voice is so exquisite. 🎶👫🌳🍁🌰 you and James have a magical evening. Thank you for your openess, wisdom and vunerabilities.

I absolutely love getting to see more of the gallery. The ending of this video, when it’s dark outside and the plant babies are watching you leave for the day, beneath the lights, almost let me see the fairies peaking out from the paintings to come out and play once you leave. What a special view. Thank you for sharing so many things with us. You are a blessing.

    Congratulations on your award! That's wonderful. 😊 Regarding the "clear your clutter" section...I know that there's social pressure from the "clear your clutter brigade" (and I've felt it A LOT in my life) but honestly as long as your life is functional and you're not drowning under stuff why the need? Artists are traditionally collectors of interesting things. I love the look of your studio. When I visit someone's space (work or living) I like to see colour and interesting objects gathered from life - they tell a story. Obviously each to their own, and everyone has to live in a way that works for them, but don't feel pressured to conform to someone else's idea of how you should live. I love your style. Watching your videos is a joy - please don't feel pressure to streamline your life too much. 😊🙏

    Wow what a beautiful video. I can relate to alot of what you say, in so many ways. My husband often says to me... LEAH YOU MATTER! It's not just about making everyone else happy and trying to do the right thing for everyone else. Sometimes you have to do what you feel is right for you. I think that life is about constantly learning. Not just about educating ourselves on our interests, but in life too. How we act or react to situations and what is meaningful to us or what we allow, to take too much emotionally or mentally from us. You are an inspiration Wendy and a beautiful person inside and out. I only got back from my honeymoon in Paris yesterday, which was incredibly inspiring, what with all the galleries and staying in Montmartre and so on, so I have been waiting to get a little quiet time to sit and watch this video. As I look forward to them so much. Thank you for another uplifting video.😊

    Dear Wendy, I keep watching and re-watching this beautiful video of yours ( almost daily atm): thank you so much, it helps me to stay positive and curious about the day ahead without too much morning blues etc. Thank you again and I am so glad I found you on here ☺️❤️❤️❤️

    I love "Run Away" by Gallagar and Lyle (do not know if that is the correct name of the song, or spelling of the singers) it just makes me feel that we can all be free, if we want to be. I also love the way you dance around, as I find dancing and music are my freedom things! I am 65 years young, and just starting to live my new life, learning to like myself, and not being afraid of what others think about me any more. I try to live a loving, caring life. Thank you for your natural videos, and congratulations on your award too. Blessings to you and your loved ones from Devon, England. xxx

    Congratulations on your RUclips award! I'm so excited for you finding new energy and exploring new directions. Continue to celebrate the dance of life each day.
    I always say I don't nap (as I was taught that was only allowed for children); instead I allow myself a siesta, to recharge. Giving myself permission to shut down for a time is key, as I can let go of the jumble of thoughts then. I also try to focus in my head on characters and creatures sleeping and recharging, and allow those images to morph as I drift off. Sometimes when I wake, I have ideas for new art (bonus!).
    Thanks again for sharing your life with all of us; your excitement inspires me so much. As for songs, oddly, I have just journalled about "The Rainbow Connection" from the Muppet Movie, "Getting to Know You" from the King and I, and "Follow You, Follow Me" by Genesis. I'm wondering if your ideas fairy has been visiting the rest of us while you are sleeping, not giving 😘 up on you, just wanting all of us to share inspirational energy.
    Love, light, hugs and fairy dust to you and James. I hope your energy continues to build, and keeps your cup overflowing. Hugs😘

So happy for you! I think you’ve got lovely lettering, and enjoy seeing your words and thoughts together with your painting. Nice touch!

    WENDY!I haven't seen you for a while.Adjusting to life after brain injury and v reduced vision.My ability to create has changed from v intricate Celtic work to tearing up paper and glue!I got to the point of allowing myself to go back to being little Morgan who knew I was my happiest me when drawing and painting. I have bought some oil pastels!I'm so enjoying grown up finger painting! ☺.Having spent a year mainly in a dark room,I went to the woods yesterday (like you I feel the AUTUMN energy and I had tears of wonder at the beauty of it all.I am v blessed with a balcony with a view of Trees and a river.A little fox kept me company while I did my physio outside when I came home.I wanted to thank you so much for encouraging me to journal,(I was keeping them for "good")now I know that was silly and I am free creating.They remind me on days when pain takes over that there are good days and you gave me that idea.Not to keep them for lovely "outcome" art.I was sad I was out of action for the last full moon Wendy.Next morning(sunday) I opened my curtains to greet the day and The biggest beautiful full moon was in the morning sky!!!So I got my crayons,my journal,a few words.Now I have another lovely memory. I meant to tell you,you are looking so well and I got to visit and embrace my tree friend in the woods ,that's what recharges me in so many ways.I love the new big painting of you with the words in above video...about our thoughts matter.Congrats on the exhibition also!Thanks Ms Wendy🤗🧝‍♂️🦁

    Totally unrelated but I got so excited seeing that Dub Pistols poster when you were watering plants, haha! I got to play with them and Hybrid in Park City Utah like 2 decades ago and they were so awesome! Hybrid was a huge inspiration to me then and its music that still inspires today.

    I am wanting to make a lifestyle change as far as my diet. I am getting older and know that, with age, things slow down and fall (arms, butt, ourselves, etc). I have started to utilize my spice rack more when cooking and my meals have become more flavorful. I also want to be more active so dog walks have become longer. I also want to spend more time writing. I used to love writing. I'll be getting back to that. Your videos are relaxing and inspiring. Congratulations on your (RUclips plaque) achievement

    awesome award, well done. My go to music changes like my knickers LOL. From classics like Elvis to modern like Imagine dragons.and every thing in between. i have amazon music and created different playlists. My work list is full of heavy metal and songs that make me buzz. My sleep playlist is rain and beach sounds. Then there's the Christmas one which i love all year if Im feeling a little down . i take myself off and belt out classics like rocking round the Christmas tree.Yes im barmy . in the car i have a old tape deck as the car is 25 yrs old. Most the neighbourhood hears me going to work at 5.30am ,the music is always blaring out. I blame my parents for this. Having a good sing along is one of the best ways i find to lift my mood. Hope you all have a great week

    The older I get, the more I understand myself. But my life is in flux right now. My husband has retired after having a stroke last year. We're still young - 56 - and no grandkids on the horizon. I used to work in an office until my migraines took over my life. I started my own business making and selling jewelry at arts and crafts fairs, until Covid and then my husband's stroke. So I'm more uncertain as to which direction to go. I haven't journaled in a long time, and I'm thinking that might help me. So, thank you for your inspiration!

    Napping- Works better in cool weather: wrap a soft & cozy scarf loosly around your neck. It seems there's a "protection" accu-pressure point at the back of the neck, and also protects you from colds. Works for me!!! Happy Anniversary 🎂 !!!
