Hello!

I'm Wendy

Let me tell you a little bit about me. I was born in 1964 to a typical nuclear family. I was the youngest of 3 children. My sister is 12 years older and my brother was 8 years older. I was a vacation baby, and I was adorable. Seriously, I had strawberry blonde hair and freckles. I may or may not have been a bit spoiled, but that’s for another story.

My passions

Music

I am a musician; a vocalist to be exact. I have been singing since I was three years old. It is my therapy and pleasure. I spend time listening, performing and teaching music.

We should all be living to change our world...why else are we here if not to make a difference? This is what we are all called to do. Be the change you want to see.

But, in my opinion, the greatest thing ever is the Abundance of the GRACE of God and His FORGIVENESS that is never ending.

We are the sum of our choices. There...I said it.

It’s not easy to admit this because we would much rather ignore it, blame someone else or be a victim. Not many people are willing to own their “stuff”. I’m here to bring some clarity to how choices affect our lives.

CHOICE

Harnessing Your Choice Potential

To me, Choice is always a pivotal decision that can change the course of our life.

But let's see what the experts say.

Choice defined by Merriam Webster: the power, right of opportunity to choose.

The Free Dictionary defines choice as “The act of choosing; election, option, preference, selection”.

Decision defined by Oxford Dictionary: a conclusion or resolution reached after consideration.

Decision marks the direction you take and implies selection of the choices (The Difference Between).

The difference?

Choice represents the capability while decision reflects the final result. Choices are presented to you while you alone make the decision (The Difference Between).

Consequence Defined: a result or effect of an action or condition (Oxford).

I like the definition of consequence from Your Dictionary the best:

A natural result that flows from something else.

That pretty much sums up what my site is all about. I have thought long and hard about the choices I have made in my life and how the decisions were not thought through and some consequences were harsh.

  • I have been hurt and used but who hasn’t?
  • I have hurt and used others; and again, who hasn’t?
  • I’ve been ruled by my emotions many times but I do have rational moments as well.
  • I am a flawed human...but who isn’t?

I believe we can learn how to think about the consequences of our choices and decisions. And that's what I'm here to help you with.

Reflections on the Impact of Choices

Abundance

Abundance is often a word that reminds me of the Fall Season. I think of Thanksgiving and the abundance of love, family, harvest and gratitude I feel when I think of the reason we celebrate this American holiday. We speak with an abundance of joy when a child is born...

Let’s Be Realistic

DISCLAIMER! By no means am I perfect. Let's face it, none of us are. I’m in my car for 5 minutes and I’ve already flipped 2 people off. Apparently my driving is perfect…   Part of the intentional decision making process is being aware of yourself. On my morning...

Letting Go (Part 2)
