- Life is bumpy, this is what I do... After some very unwelcome, troubling news which I will share with you here, I am back from our van trip. Hearing this news, completely out of the blue, has wobbled my foundations, big time. I have to admit, I am a little worried. But, onwards! Healing my soul in my usual ways with creativity, art, painting, writing and art journaling. This is my soothing, creative process and I am unlocking some major keys to transforming everything and transitioning my way through. Thank you so much for keeping me company on this wild ride called life! Try to keep your lights shining bright out there! Love you all to bits, Wendy. Xx

When lock down happened here I just remember feeling extremely grateful with the timing. It happened just a few months before I had planned to retire. So, as soon as it happened I gave my boss notice I wouldn’t be back. Daughter was in nursing school and granddaughter was in TK age four program. Which was shut down of course. I was able to take care of my granddaughter while my daughter continued with nursing school. Was extremely grateful for my garden. And that I had made my final payment on my little house. It is infuriating while most of us are paying higher prices for everything while the big companies are having record making profits exploiting the situation. Especially the oil companies. Had friends in hospitality that lost their incomes.
your timings were perfect but yes, your friends and so many others had some really tough times.... karma will come to counter the greed,,, xxx
@@theunexpectedgypsy I hope greed
Becomes a thing of the past. I have never understood it. Nothing can be taken with you.

Yes, they (big companies) live like there’s no tomorrow, no God, no anything- except money. What do you need that much money for?!
I have just found you, so good to see how you are doing your own thing. I am so much like you, love my own quiet time, to think. I do art, sewing gardening and much more. I do meditate and have done for years. I love to walk in the woods be close to the trees. I am graful for all I have. And my life is so wonderful. Thank you for your videos, I just love seeing all your wonderful things around you too.
Talking about housing issues is very triggering for me. Here in Australia, we have a housing crisis that's been put in the too hard basket for decades, resulting in a growing invisible pandemic of homelessness.3 of my family are homeless, all very ill after years of living in a mouldy rental. It's hard not to feel completely despairing about it,but each night I tell myself at least they have a roof over their heads,(a decommissioned motel), they have their therapy cat and it could be a lot worse. We all practice gratitude, but trying to be creative in a single motel room is tricky...yet you are inspirational, Wendy. You did it in a van.Thanks for being real, and caring, from Kaye.🐱
God Bless you Kaye, and all your fam too, xxx gratitude and each other carries us through... somehow x much loves
I just love how you dance! I think you truly are a fairy! X
I love the way you said you need alittle time to "perculate". That's so true. I also have a greedy landlord situation. I've never missed a days rent in 35 years, keep the place in very good nick. Oh, it's a game, the housing crisis. I do wish you well. I'm making pottery now but whew, its very tough times. 🌱
Love all the slights and sounds of your special places… I am intending you and James are finding the perfect new place to have as a home… for the highest and best good of all concerned. I have a mantra that helps me in tough times: “Everything is ALWAYS working out for me…” and so it is for you and James!
llove you mantra Sandy thank y ou xxxxxxxxxxx
I use that mantra too sometimes. 💖
You have become a huge part of my "online" life. Thank you for so often saying the right things at the right time for me. It reminds me we are all in this together and it is important to look after each other. Much love to you both. Mel X
aww lovely, xxx thank you cccxxx
Yes!
I just did this this morning. I received some news, I had to digest it, I went through my emotions, but mostly poured them into my creative arts.
happy creating and well done for processing xx we got this!! x
Art is my self care. :) Best wishes to all of you! Keep creating!
Lockdown, although it was caused by a horrible event, actually enabled my wife and I to cut our living expenses massively and save up the last of our deposit to buy a house. We moved 6 weeks ago and I finally have a garage workshop and a spare room 'studio' to indulge my art just like you! Lovely videos, so inspiring!
I fully understand your annoyance. My daughter, also in the UK, just went through the greedy landlord phenomenon. They ended up literally homeless for a period, until they found a new situation. All settled now, but so stressful!
So sorry to hear this Monika xx glad she has found somewhere but gosh such a nightmare!!
Dear Wendy & James, I can totally empathize with you on your situation. Our building has been recently purchased from a private ownership to a corporate real estate company. The very first thing they have done is raise our rent a total of 20%, while the amenities have significantly been cut back. There is no solution unless you want to move house, and the housing market here is pretty much non existent. Prices on everything are much higher than a few months ago, the only thing that has not increased is our income. We are very much losing any middle class we had. Time to hunker down and bite the bullet. Hopefully something will change for the better. Just keep smiling, make the best of each situation, and enjoy what you can of life.
I absolutely loove all your videos. And I looove the fact that your studio is exactly the same. It’s in shape of L and has got 2 big windows. You woudn’t believe how similar it is. I am sending you all my love all the way from the Czech republic. I wish you lots of happy creative moments xxxx
ha! how funny!!! and you all the way in the Czech republic! Serendipities!! xxx much loves x
Lovely Wendy, thank you. I love what you have done with your studio space. Steady on dear woman. Here in the US the financial strains are crushing people. It’s all wrong. But we carry on, and I truly appreciate your generous sharing of how you navigate through difficulties, tending to the creative fires… big hugs, and reassurance to all those who are struggling!
so sad many are struggling... xxx big hugs back xx
a lot of landlords are being ridiculous but it will back fire on them when they don't get any renters or present ones move out so l have a feeling it will change again at some point with resonable rent, and yes it is not nice to be forced into taking action but sometimes fate does this to make us take action and make the change we were dreading or fearing...go for it wendy and find your dream home, hugs
Exactly well put Wendy xxxxx and karma of course is coming!!! xxx big hugs back x
I would love you to deeper into your writing process, Wendy!
I always find you calm and delightful,and it truly helps me( not only gets me to wanting to create again ), but helps settle me, meaning my mind-my thoughts.
You're truly a blessing!!
For a brief moment, I could smell the sea air. What a joy!
And I had absolitely same situation with the moving and rising up the rent. It’s just craaaaazy. Fortunatelly we can still create and be the most happy people in the world
Yes, Wendy, I’d love to hear more about your writing process! That would be lovely.
I truly understand your feeling about lockdowns and greed. I feel the same way,as one who my husband and I are retired and disabled and it's quite disturbing all the price gouging on food and medicines. I have turned to prayers for peace and guidance. Love to you and James and keep holding on to each other.
Prayers for you too 😙😙♥️♥️🙏🙏 may karma do it thing! Xx
I can relate to some of your feelings and experiences, here in Canada. I have found that “Benevolent Prayers” have a unique magic about them. I can recommend the website of Tom T. Moore for guidance on this. Many people dismiss this simple type of prayer, but as someone who has been committed to my own path of greater wisdom I can and do attest to their power to assist us greatly. So much good magic has come into my life, and I feel so much more peaceful. And as someone who has broken her neck and lived through the horror of that I feel that I can indeed comment on this. Many blessings.
So sorry to hear of your financial woes. ☹ The rent fiasco seems to be the greed disease that has spread around the world. During the pandemic the super rich got richer and the poor got poorer , and the middle class income folks are now slipping closer to the poverty line. Here on the tiny Island I live on people that are second and third and even fourth generations are having to leave because of this very same issue. It's either that or go live with grandma, auntie or mom and dad again! So many people here are living in their cars or pitching tents on the beaches where they can...it's a mess!😳 People with extreme wealth have found our beautiful island and pushed out the common person. Those that choose to stay struggle with living in very small spaces and working most of their waking hours. It's not good and I don't know what the solution is.😕 My heart goes out to you Wendy and James. Take care and trust that your needs will be met. Keep envisioning what you need and believe that it's yours.🙏💖🌴🌺💫🌈🙋♀️
Last year we were evicted from our rental home of more than 5 years in order for it to be sold. It sold within two weeks. There were virtually no rentals available but by some miracle we got one, but all of the rents had gone up. We had to pay $150 a week more for the same size house 2 minutes drive away, and we couldn’t afford it. As soon as our 12 month lease expired our landlord has now put the rent up again! So much greed….and so many stressed people struggling to get by.
I would love to know what your thought process is when you journal.
I love watching your videos. They are not only inspirational but also uplifting. You make me smile and love all the little things in life. Thank you for sharing your life and artistry with us!
My landlord put the rent up for first time last autumn. The garden needed a lot doing to it, which I sorted out. And there was lots of issues after moving in, which did get sorted, but annoying, as all the jobs should of been done before I moved on. From the letter it is clear will be going up each year. Every now and again I dread how much it will go up this autumn. Like you I am thinking it is time to move.
I appreciate your methods to percolate your thoughts on a problem. I am sorry to hear about the rental issue. It saddens me when folks are taken advantage, especially when the landlord can still make a good profit and not be greedy. I lift you and James in prayer for the perfect opportunity to be found. Hugs. Love the morning dance, I will add that to my day. 😊
yup! me too Sandra, my landlord owns the place too so no mortgage to pay! karma coming for them!! Thank you for the welcome prayers too much appreciated xxxxxxxxxx and yes, get your dancing feet on!!
I am in Florida and prices have gone way up with rent around me along with groceries, gas, everything really and the struggle is real. I hope you can buy a little cottage, a fixer upper maybe, a place for you and James to call your own and to get out from under a greedy landlord.
Delighted that the creative "snug" is working for you - it looks so welcoming and cosy. And glad you enjoyed your holiday. As for not being able to read your book, I went through a spell (penomause time) where I couldn't concentrate long enough to read for long. I finally stopped fighting with my brain and body, and changed to reading in short bites, sometimes just a page at a time, and found that I stopped stressing and was able to absorb what I read.
Thanks for taking us along on your hols - loved the sunsets and the beach. Sending love, light, sparkling fairy dust, and gentle hugs to you and James.
Much love and thanks Sue, and much fairy dust too!!!
Cozy studio is an understatement ! We are still feeling the effects of lockdowns here in the US as well. I myself feel more introverted than before. Prices are ridiculous and the housing market prices are coming down. Good luck on your continued journey.. i have been following you on RUclips since the beginning i think. Sending much love to you and James .
Yup, I totally hear you. xx Karma is coming for the greedy folks! Thank you so much for being here for all this time!!! Much loves to you too!!! xxxxxxx
You are such a lovely person Wendy, and such an inspiration. I love your videos, and you have inspired me to return to drawing and painting too - thankyou!
Hello Wendy!
I enjoy seeing you dance around like a beautiful little ballerina on a music box!
Hang in there and your struggles will lead you to the peaceful and joyful places where you are meant to be.
Hugs to you from Texas....💐
thank you Tyra xx
What a lovely comment to her, bless you Tyra. 🧡🌿💜🌱
I guess we didn't NEED proof the world is crazy, but there is always proof around us!
I read today in the Sunday paper two very different articles: "70 per cent of renters are
reporting significant rent increases since the pandemic!' and also:
"Homelessness worsening throughout the state" (in the Southwest U.S.A.) !
VERY frustrating to hear that when people in general are the most down, the greedy take that opportunity to make more money - it's very fugly. I'm sending you each a hug and hoping that a beautiful just right spot will open up for you so you can get away from that greedy landlord! Thank you for taking us to the beach - that was absolutely lovely! xx
Thanks for the road trip with you guys! Especially loved the beach and hearing the waves. I needed that. Things are are so challenging everywhere now. I will hold you in "the light", sending Reiki your way.
welcome!!!! thanks for that and much loves to you too!! xxx
The amount of greed since the beginning of the lockdown is staggering and the lack of justice is frustrating. The angels are watching and I am certain a good opportunity is waiting for you!
Blessings. PS You look really beautiful in that green dress 👗.
yes, it's seems it magnified it! Karma is coming for them!! Many blessings to you too and thank you I got that dress about 5 years ago from a charity shop here! Was such a lovely find! xx
The jewel tones both the green and the cranberry are quite complimentary.
Just wanted to say I absolutely agree with you about the housing market, landlords and greed - it makes so much harder for those struggling to make ends meet whilst the wealthy just get wealthier. P.S. I love your videos, thank-you so much for all your hard work and welcoming us into your life.
Totally agree! But karma is coming for them!! tee hee!!
Hugs, Wendy. I am glad you’re here. Thank you for sharing.
When I visited the UK summer of ‘17, we drove and rode trains and busses a lot and I couldn’t get enough of the countryside.
From East Tennessee💕
First off, big hugs! “Surrender” is not a word that finds its way into my vocabulary very often however in the context in which you used this word here it may. It’s another, and gentle, way of describing the act and the necessity of “letting go”. Take care, blessed be.
Thank you so much for your honest sharing. It has been hugely comforting to me today. Surrender is a difficult thing sometimes, but I agree with you about allowing what is and waiting for the next. This is a truth frequently disregarded in our busy lives and struggle to survive in these challenging times. I am currently struggling with the experiences of fibromyalgia and it’s restrictions, but I am always more at peace when I allow my body and soul to be where it is each day; despite the 21st century view of productivity is the only currency of value.
Take care and stay safe.
Thank you for adding the driving in the beginning. I would spend summers in England with my british father who has now passed on. It brought tears to my eyes in a good way.. thank you
soft hugs for your precious memories xx thanks for sharing x
Loved the road trip. I wish we had more country roads where we live in Indiana (there are still some but not close by). We own our home but the taxes and insurance have skyrocketed. I hate to see what gas and electricity are going to be this winter. What we have here is big companies buying up houses everywhere in bad and good areas and renting them out at high prices (some of these areas I would be afraid to live in). Also, rents are going up in apartments and the owners aren't even taking care of the maintenance or paying the utility bills they are required to pay. House prices are also skyrocketing so people can't even buy a house. I'm sure it's crazy everywhere but it's frustrating.
karma is coming for their greed!!!! something will crash soon!! xxx much loves xx
@@theunexpectedgypsy What they are doing is pushing people out of their neighborhoods. I think it's called gentrification. It's awful.
Wow Wendy! Is the first time I found one you MAYBe.. can read my comment! Yeah!!! ... I started watching you yesterday I think... and I already in love with you, so speak... I am a "tiny" (?) fairy as well, painter and "artist" (for me)... lol. Creator, dreamer. And LOVE! your channel, blog! Just beautiful.
Makes me feel so happy and in good company, while at home healing... (cronic illnes), I love your autenticity and cozynes (and vulnerability) .. yes. Thank you Wendy for fire my light :) 💖🙏🏻
Ps: also love everything you do and will love to know more about your jounarling process. Thank you Wendy!!
Hi Wendy, your studio looks so lovely and arranged. I couldn't tell if your rent was pertaining to your house or your studio you were speaking about. I hope you are able to keep both as you have a stunning studio and the country side is awesome. Always want the best for you.
As always thank you for sharing with us and your fairies are looking so beautiful.
Sorry your landlord is being a bug. Hopefully the Universe keeps its lights on you and James. ❤
Hi Wendy. First time I'm chiming in. I wanted to thank you! I journal now almost everyday, which I learned from you and also do art more as a hobby to relax and forget about time and just play. And then I often say to my self in my journal, I'll have to peculate over something before I just jump in, like getting a personal trainer at the gym! Yes, I've tried yoga at the gym to loose weight but I like getting my heart rate up. Thank you for your videos, I love them! Sorry about the rent
this makes me soooo happy to hear, happy journaling dear Miss J xxx
I so look forward to your videos, like visiting with a special friend, Retirement came first for me, then lockdown, Now I feel like my life has been totally isolated. You bring the world to us and make us smile . Gather all your fairies around you and live your best life.
awww, be it only online, it's still community isn't it??!! Much loves and i'm sending a few fairies to keep you company too!! cxxx
I love watching you paint and your skill with a brush!
Wendy I so enjoy you. Letting go is hard. We see the same thing here in the USA. My husband & I had rented for years & I mean years. I finally said in 2020 we have to be ready to find a home in 2021 if at all possible. Yes we were in the year where it all went crazy but I had done the homework & based our search for a home we could afford on retirement in 5 years. We DidI It!!!! We hung in there & stuck to our limit & found a small home we love. Here in the USA the media kept telling us that the inflation was high because of too much spending. I did not buy that because it is the middle class that supports the wealthy & everyone we know is struggling for just the basics. Our interest rates have risen about 3 times so far this year. That helps if you have $$$$ in savings or investments but not if you have any debt. Now the economists are calling for a recession in about 6 months. I think you have to trust your own instincts. Sending us all out there good thoughts.
Aww Thank you, bless you and your days. May our worries soon be over. Thanks also to James.
I don't know about housing (purchasing) or renting where you live , but where I live buying a home is the answer for us. The money spent on a mortgage is money benifiting us instead of rent money benifiting someone else. I can garden even in a very small postage stamp front or back yard to suplement us (saved money) and I have no one hiking up rent when ever they want. The whole owning a home is so worth it, strawberries, gooseberry bush, raspberries take not much room to grow and a couple 4x6 raised beds provide plenty of fresh produce for us and last but not least a small Woodstove helps with the heating bill. We are so lucky, I love my home and yard and rarely want to stray from the oasis we have made here. Wish you well which ever your decision is on what you do in the future.
While watching your closing, I reminded of a music box, with you being the ballerina dancing away.
I really adore you. Watching your videos, is a breath of really fresh air. Learning how to not worry about things you can not change, is very hard for me. You have taught me to relax, be me. Accepting the ups and downs, I just want you to know we all love you so much thank you from the usa.
There is no energy crisis. Its the greed of big corporations. It should be illegal how much they are squeezing the poor. We are being robbed.
Always glad to see your videos.
Sorry you both have a greedy landlord.
You and James are clever people you will solve this big problem.
Sending peace and love.
Greetings from Brighton
the sound effects of the sea are wonderful. 🧡🌿🌊
Yes quite interested in your writing process. Especially, that self love tree.
Kia ora from New Zealand. I was watching a van lifer video and your video of you and James came up. I love both this video and the first watch. We are soon to be moving into a discombobulated spring. Our weather has never been the same since I was young. Weather manipulation is all I can say. Anyhooo, spring is coming and im planning to venture in my van starting with one night stays. I have had a calling to begin venturing in nature and so be it 😍. I love your art journaling and will do a marathon viewing over the weekend. It is Thursday here 5.12pm. I am an artist too and i need to get back into creating. Your videos will inspire me. Thank you arohanui 💖😍✨😍💖
one night stays to start will be wonderful enjoy xxxxxxx happy creating again, once you are ready x
Love the new painting with the blue butterfly 🖤 Sorry to hear about the rent challenges. You are definitely not alone! The last decade in the SF Bay Area has felt like one unending financial upheaval in terms of housing costs. Best of luck in finding a safe and sweet spot to plant your roots.
I understand your annoyance some people are greedy take care xx
I just went through the same thing with my landlord, we were forced to move suddenly, I feel your pain... I hope it all works out for you guys!! Thank you for keeping US company!
I always say that everything happens for a reason! It just mean that something new and exciting is about to happen if you will let it. Keep calm and it will work itself out.
Wendy you are truly amazing 👏🙏🏼 Thank you for sharing your truest soulful feelings with all of us : )***
Same here in the U.S.! Interest rates are up to 8.9 and gas over 4.00. Rent has gone from 60.00 a square foot to over 100.00 per square ft!! I guess our government's have sold out to the world bank! Trillions and trillions!!!😥
Hello Wendy from little old Tassie. I have watched a few of your RUclips videos now and I love your open honestly. You are so relatable and so many of us are going through some challenging times right now. You shine a light of love art and connection. Love your artwork. Your fairies are so beautiful and meaningful. 🥰😘 love to you from the other side of the world cindy
Well, you have to live something to have it in video and uploaded it so we can see it, right? So is very logical to be behind a week or so. Post office has gone way over the top here in Greece too. So much more expensive that I was forced to close my etsy shop and now I have no idea what to do because no one is hiring. Hope things will work better and more freely for everyone. Much love from Greece
Lovely plant babies. Sorry about your situation. Glad art came of it.
Dearest Wendy, so sorry to hear about the rent hike and sleep problems, but even with that and menopause, you look fantastic, especially your eyes! Glad you and James got away to the beach and camping for a bit. Nothing like water, sea breeze and open sky for easing your troubles and getting your energies back together. I know you'll find your best path through this, and be fully supported by your faithful community the whole way through. Bright blessings.
Yes, greed is running things in our world these days. Lovely video. Thank you for sharing.
karma will come around, is my thinking! xxxxxx
I often takes me a week to realise I am relaxing.
Loved the sound of the sea and the stoney beach and your swim looked grounding and refreshing. I am missing my island home. Have been away 4 years so really appreciated the sound of the waves lapping on the shore and the joy of just being still, listening, observing, absorbing.....Your studio looks great...nice to come back to and it does look cozy when it rains. Love your 'fairy' dance - and your art journaling. Very inspiring...thank you for creating these videos and sharing your creativity in process with us and tid bits about you. All very healing and inspiring. 💚💚💚
I am so sorry to hear of your housing & economic woes. It has hit all of us so hard, especially in the creative community. Just know you are in my thoughts and I am sending you and yours lots of love and light. Keep moving forward and remember EVERYTHING changes. You will come out of this on the other end, none the worse for wear and having learned so much more about yourself. ❤🩹❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Thank you so much xxxxxxxxxx
The beach was so lovely. Here in the US, housing prices have risen so much that it is difficult for some to even pay the taxes on the property. I wish that people wouldn’t be greedy…..
Love to you and James and to whoever reads this comment..
Such a lovely video. Thank you❤️👍.
You could not be more correct about the greed. Things are the same here in the U.S. It is especially difficult for women of a certain age. Women in their 60's, 70's and even 80's are out there working or homeless. A sad state of affairs.
Your studio is definitely cozy and comfy. Enjoy 🙏🌿⚘️🌿
Your studio does look cosy. I love all the little lights.
With all the upsetting news you received you are still 'n inspiration to many of us and the fact you re salm I appreciate it the most
Thanks Angie xxxxxxx
You look lovely in the plum colours and you’re right your studio is looking cozy! It’s hard to stay grounded I’m finding as we are in the process of a house move….we are in a chain and it’s a slow process but keeping fingers crossed it’ll happen in good time. We are feeling the pinch like everyone and looking to move to a small cozy cottage. Sending you positive vibes Wendy xx
Oh thank you! and hope you get settled in your new place soon!! xxx
Sending you love Wendy 🧡 I feel very saddened about how people are behaving since coming out of the awful lockdown and we must remember that the pandemic was tragic! I was praying that humanity would be more compassionate after this experience but sadly not ❤️ just keeping shining bright and sharing the love everyone who follow you 🌼
big loves Paula xx
Hi, I am new to your channel. Been going through a similar housing situation here myself. Despite inflation going on, the landlord is being greedy. Now wants the house to be sold. So going through a bit of anxiety, stress and trying to process this all. Watching what you do and how to de-stress in your artwork and journaling to relax. I'm thinking of giving the journaling a try. Never done it and I would imagine a good way to let the thoughts out. Thank you for sharing this.
Wholeheartedly empathise - landlord didn't pay his mortgage, tho I was paying rent promptly and in full, I was evicted and couldn't find anywhere to live with 2 elderly poodles so I (fortunately) had to move back in with my mom (having lived independantly for 40 years!) Am still having trouble finding somewhere affordable that is ok with dogs and my disability. My Mom shouldn't be having to deal with this, but neither should I. Worse news was the landlord made a deal with the bank and got the property back. Sad, angry, bitter and desperate. Hospitalised just after eviction (due to stress and heavy lifting that I Shouldn't have done - nor had to do!) Am now even more debilitated than I was! Still home hunting, Trying to be positive but am actually burying my head in the sand a little. Prefer not to think about it than deal with the stress currently. Rented forever homes feel like a thing of the past. I hope you're both luckier than I 💕💜
But I felt that your son is very helpful and you are fortunate he wants to help! Beautiful landscape and waters.
I am sorry to hear what you have been going through with your home! The Universe is with you🙏🌕⭐I love your studio, I hope you have a great week.💛
Have a look at your contract, they are usually contractually entitled to increase it in line with the retail price index which is 12.34% this year so it shouldn’t be more than that. If you are out of contract you are entitled to a rolling contract. Citizens advice is helpful for more info in you need it. I’ve just moved myself so I sympathise 💜😊✌️ sending you peaceful house hunting prayers
Loved the vid. Reminds me of my area, I live in Australia, have done for some 40 plus years but used to live in Norfolk in England a rather beautiful county like yours. Pleased you enjoyed a wonderful holiday.
Thank you for your open thoughts, and how to deal with the negative stuff that we go through in our lives! You are an inspiration Unexpected Gypsy - what a woman! xxx
You are so enchanting I am so sorry that u may have to move what a brilliant artist u are I love your little studio thank you for being you all my love Shari .
Do you remember, not so long ago, when you were doing a giveaway for when you hit something like 8k subscribers and by the time you got there you had already surpassed and gotten like 10k or 12k. Anyway, I'm sure I have the numbers wrong, but I remember that time. Thanks for keeping us company as well, Dear Waffling Wendy. ❤
awww thanks for keepong me company for sooo long!!! xxxx I appreciate you so much!! xxxx
@@theunexpectedgypsy Ah, well you are welcome. Although, you've really got the hard part. I just sit back and watch ;) Cheers to you!
Wendy, oh I'm so glad you and James had your wonderful getaway. But I'm also glad you're back. And your space is so very cozy. Please tell James hello. Have a super fantastic day. Sending love and big hugs Sherry
You're such a beautiful soul and wonderful person ✨ i do the same to heal. I love your hair and everything.
So amazing! Actually, I was just thinking of you 💭 and you just popped up🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏
thank you xxxxx
@@nyonya02 wahhoooo! xx
The amount of greed in the world at the moment is staggering! The rich boys are all getting richer and the workers are struggling! I guess it’s the same everywhere but it’s worrying that people can get away with it and no one seems to do anything about it! Our politicians have a lot to answer too! I hope you can get your housing sorted soon Wendy x
The rent here is not good, though I keep hearing my city is cheapest in my country. Houses I'm used to seeing for $100,000 or less are now well over $300,000. My finances have been sketchy, but now I'm making more than I ever have, but I'm priced out of the market (if I don't want a full reno and mold removal). It's so frustrating. Several new complexes are going up, so I'm actually quite worried about the increase in rent. Trying so hard not to get overwhelmed by it all. Thank you for your videos and advice.
I hear you for sure!! I think something is going to crash and it isn't going to be the renters! xxx
thank you for sharing your beautiful life
Hi, Wendy 🧚♀I love your art and the magic you create around you. I recently saw the video about your van life with James. I must say I admire you guys so much and that is so visible that it was a transformative journey that forged you into the best version of yourself. You are so inspiring with your natural beauty and for creating art as a ritual/ almost like playing. I wish you all the best with the housing situation, I am renting for 10 years too and it can be challenging at times, however when things seem to fall apart what I like to do is to remind myself that they are actually falling into place. Peace!
I appreciate you for sharing the cozy studio space you create.
I do so enjoy your videos. So sorry your landlord is being. . . Yeah. 💕
Dearest Wendy, you are such an inspiration ( in so many ways!) and your videos always lift me up- even though you may be going through a difficult patch yourself: thank you for sharing so honestly ! May you find the perfect solution for the rent/property situation 🧚♂️🧚♀️🧚
thank you for keeping me company as well!
You have achieved the ultimate cozy. I see myself setting there just hanging out enjoying the atmosphere.
As for how comfortable financially we are now. Definitely feel like I'm wear shoes that are 7 sizes to small. Don't know how thing will work out for all of us but if we continue to create our spirit will never be broken. Love to you sweet Wendy and James.
Never surrender never give in. Easier to say then do but at times we must. Sometimes I let things get me to a state of panic, but it’s hard to just shut of the bad stuff and not let it get to us. But even at my worse I try to tell myself it’s all for a reason it what will get us to where we are ment to be. So if your ment to have that dream cottage/art studio your get it. Did notice that the roads in England don’t look any bigger then I remember lol. It’s been awhile since I been back but the backing up on the lanes to let another car go through is something we still remember. I remember my GI hubby thinking he could drive a large American car down them roads lol. It makes me homesick some times. Anyway keep smiling keep dancing and your get through any thing.
So grateful to have found you..magical 💗👏 Thank you so!
Your beautiful soul shines. Everything will work out. Your community will pray for you.
Ty for sharing! Ughhh the greed.
Would love to hear about your writing process!
Awe Wendy 💜 thank you for sharing your awesome beautiful Wendy darling 😘 everything is going to be alright 😘🥰
Felt so refreshed by waves, thinking about how nature renews our bodies and our souls! I don’t know why seeing you and your outfits gives me such a pick me up even when you had some concerns! You still looked rested! Really been housebound from results of my fall so this video lifted my spirits! Your art projects are charming! Blessed and safe days!
