I grew up an atheist and couldn’t say the word God without getting nauseous until my 50s when I recognized I had been having spiritual openings and visions my entire life. I found spiritual teachers who helped me develop my gifts and process my losses, and in my quest to resolve misunderstandings about my worthiness, I learned a few things.
THERE ARE ENDLESS SPIRITUAL GIFTS IN RESOLVING TRAUMA.
OUR MOST EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR HEALING IS COMPASSIONATE SELF-FORGIVNESS.
EVERYTHING WE EXPERIENCE IS FOR US.
yes everything
Let’s sleep overnight in a tree!
hippie Mom & auntie
Far from the midwest and feeling adrift, husband gone making television shows, I had to grow my own balls and create a life for my kids and niece in Southern California. Birkenstocks and breastfeeding, the mountains and beaches. But a peak moment in the history of loving were our adventures selling soda/pop from our hand-made Human Vending Machine. Let’s not discuss all the shit storms for now. Trust me. It wasn’t pretty. But we made it. Lessons learned. Wisdom to share.
At home with hubby in Malibu.
model HOLLYWOOD WIFE
Haha! Yeah, right! I hid myself away from the action best I could in our hillside home in Malibu. But still, part of life in Hollywood is rubbing elbows at your kids’ school and visiting the set. So that’s what I did. When I had to. But I could never keep up with how fast they all talked, so yunno, lots of nodding and social anxiety. I didn’t know until middle age that I am considered neurodivergent from an auditory processing disorder. Lessons learned. Wisdom to share.
Wanna grab some tea and yak?
minister of compassionate self-forgiveness
I tried to do everything right, to be a good wife, and a good mom in the middle of a Hollywood life that didn’t provide much space for building my confidence or processing past trauma. Only when our family was brought to its knees, surrendered in utter defeat, did everything finally align. I learned how to open my heart and apply love to the places inside that hurt, to forgive myself for judging myself, and discovered the pearl of great price that lives within us all.
THE LIMO
I was looking out the window of the limo on the way to the emmys with my show runner husband when another childhood vision came back. it was summer in michigan. i was elevenish. i flung myself onto the bed, looked up toward the heavens, and wondered if i could see my future. i didn’t know who or what to ask, but i asked deeply and innocently. suddenly, like spokes on a wheel, scenes flicked past of this potential life and that. and then the wheel stopped and i suddenly experienced the future as if it were already happening. and i knew. i was going to marry a hollywood producer.
yeah right.
ididn’t even know what that meant.
and I promptly forgot all about it.
UNTIL TWENTY YEARS LATER LOOKING OUT THE LIMO WINDOW.
My intention with this website is to enjoy sharing my journey of innocence and experience and to add to the joy on the planet. I intend to make the most of the journey of my soul, life with joie de vivre and move into as many moments of Enlightenment as I can handle.
If you like, I wish the same for you.
Talk soon,
Love Wendy
