“Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you.
You must travel it by yourself.
It is not far. It is within reach.
Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know. 
Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land.” -Walt Whitman

Put on your big girl panties and just deal.  This has been my own personal mantra for as long as I can remember.  "You're so strong Wendy, I don't know how you do it?" Really? Is there any other way? If I drop the ball, well, there is no option for that. I do not get days and night to recover from life. I am sure many of you reading this, do not either.  Sure, I can wallow and feel sorry for what has happened... but where is the personal responsibility in all of that? Instead, the choices become limited... it is sink or swim. I have always been a fan of swimming, even if it is against the current.  But this is my story, my hand that was dealt, and my life. 

I continue to live, to dream, to believe and see the greatness in others.  Despite, their brokeness, who they are shines brightest when I look at them.  I cannot buy into the belief system that some people never change. I firmly stand by the idea that once someone truly knows better, they will do better. -"Truly" being the operative word. Not by my standard of better but by their own abilities. We are all destined for personal greatness, in whatever form that might be. Measurements can only be taken by self. 

I suppose this ramble is just that. Rambling nonsensory with a touch of where I am at.  People (myself included) trying to compare and contrast to others- others that haven't traveled along the same path. 

For me, it is easy to be hard on myself, it is easy to say and see all the things that need work.  I am unsure if I will ever reach some sort of self contentment- but maybe that is just my journey. 

choose love and be blessed wildly, 

Wendy xo
