The world feels so strange and I need some time to heal my soul so in this video I am sharing how I restore when I'm feeling low. The world just feels so different these days and not in a good way... This is me working out what's going on and why I am so tearful and emotional at present. I'm taking you to a very special place too for the Solstice. Anddd, we are also doing some sketchbook pages together with some loose pencil figure sketching. I really hope you enjoy the video! ✨Feel free to tag me on social media with your creations & let's chat in the comments too! Thank you so much for watching & keeping me company in this little corner of KZfaq. Biggest Loves, Wendy. Xxs

helllo, I'm a bit of a silent watcher and I just want to thank you sooo much. I'm only 20 but life is hard and really scary sometimes. It's so hard navigating through everything when It's all so unpredictable. Your videos and the comments from every single lovely person here help me push through and go easy on myself. It's nice to know that not only does it get a bit better but it's also ok when nothing really feels ok. So thank you and the community you have built for making my little 20 year old self feel even that bit less lost

I think as we age we have to give ourselves grace. We are so used to running things, feeling obligated to people and actions, and thinking that our to do list should rule our lives. As a woman of a certain age who us coming off a treadmill of parent care, some health challenges, and a bit if a reality check ofbeing in the last quarter stretch of life I have found that I just want to allow myself to be self centered for a time and just "be". I need to destress, rest, and find joy, and thats OK.

Ooo yes, how I relate to your calming words. Life as an autistic woman is very similar to the experience you describe. It can be challenging to plan and 'live' like the world demands, but - hope! Since unsubscribing to fitting that mould, I do feel much better. I do less of what brings my nervous system stress, and more of what brings me gentle comfort & joy (and sticking my tootsies in the earth daily!). I also left the city. It's a slow but beautiful journey. I just gave myself the gift of a new butterfly tattoo, to celebrate coming out of my cocoon.. but by coming out, perhaps I mean, coming home. 'Little me' is over the moon! Love to you, beautiful Wendy

I have been crying every morning lately, mostly with things I see on the You tube shorts, with animals that have been so badly neglected, but that some wonderful soul have saved to give them a new life. More than anything, it gets me down so much the cruelty that humans beings do to wonderful living creatures. I just feel that they should have done to them, what horrible things they have done to animals. It just makes me so very sad. But then I try and see all the good that folk are doing with animals, and I myself adopted a rescue greyhound, who was covered in flees when rescued from the race tracks, and was not thriving in kennels, and was just skin and bones when I got her. I have had Madge now for 4 years, and although I only go out of my rural home here in West Devon to walk her from my front door, I hope I am giving her the best life I can. I am also a person that some folk seem to pick on, because I am so sensitive, and do not cope with confrontation, so have been walked over a lot by others. I just wish others could see what impact their horrible words and deeds have on others, both human and animal. Wishing for a kinder, loving world I suppose, but all I can do is lead by example. Blessings and love to you and James, from Jilly & Madge. xxx

Stop watching KZfaq and instead try this every day for a month: go to a church each day, sit and talk to God about all that is in your heart. If you want to watch something, watch The Chosen. If you are tempted to go to media, instead offer a prayer up for anyone, or any creature, in need. A prayer will do far more good than just watching bad things and feeling helpless. And if you persist in this sadness, then seek professional help.

I don't doubt that there is a lot of abuse and neglect of both animals and people in this world. However, I became VERY suspicious of people posting these animal abuse and rescue videos. Why are they wasting time filming these animals, when they should be removing them to a safe place where they can be helped by a vet, or at leas taken in out of the rain and cold? I believe MANY of these videos are fake and set up by the people who make them. Why do the same people keep finding one terrible sad thing after another, and filming and posting? To look like heroes on the internet. Throwing puppies or kittens into tar, etc. So I refuse to watch them. They are just doing it for internet clout. The sea turtle with a plastic straw jammed up its nose is a good/bad example. There is no way that thing was breathed in on its own. The people on the boat caught it and stuck the straw up its nose, and suddenly the whole world is supposed to stop using them. But they sure went viral with that video.

Dear Jill, you are probably an HSP , highly sensitive person. I as well am this type and my advise to you is... stop watching those videos! I can not do it, or I will crumble and fall into many pieces. Do yourself a favor and just don't go there! Watch happy loving, inspiring videos only and immerse yourself in nature. Do good deeds for other people that also will help you feel better. As for people picking on you, something needs to switch in the way that you present yourself to the world. Once you find your strength and love of yourself you will no longer be a target for the bullies. We are only victims because we allow ourselves to be one. I say this from experience. Read some self-help books or get some coaching on how to strengthen your spirit so that you no longer play the victim. You can do it!! Reach out to others when you need to, those that you can trust. Wishing you all the best on your journey ✨️💗🌺🌈

Wishing you well, Wendy ❤ I would find it hard to enjoy the Peace Garden with so many other people and the noisy kids and all around. Looking at the landscapes where you live and walk, I thought "She should make her own Peace Garden in that glorious space!" We have a 21 acre farm in central Virginia (where it is dangerously hot this weekend) and it is such a privilege to walk in our fields and woods with my dog knowing I don't have to deal with any others there...I can just walk in solitude and enjoy the birds and other wildlife and all the trees and plants. And my silly dog of course!

Some days I am unable to move my fingers, kind of hard to grasp my tools for making jewelry or my paint brushes when I am feeling more need for gentle expressions. I want to thank you for making your videos, I have enjoyed your Chanel even when you were on the afternoon Sunny side of your studio building.

I feel I've been neglecting your videos lately, but it gives me a bit to binge a month or two later right when I need to refill my well. I sort of fell off Instagram. Other than KZfaq, I feel like other social media requires you to churn out content to appease the algorithm and so many hours upon hours (or longer) of work that is buried within seconds and I'm lucky if anyone sees anything at all. It was rather disheartening. KZfaq feels quite a bit better to share my work on as I might get a comment on something from a year ago and then suddenly people are seeing it again. The connections feel more relaxed and meaningful here. It's more about creating the art than creating rapid-fire content every single day which I just did not have the bandwidth to maintain. It's a bit more my pace. I'm so glad I can follow you and other artists here to watch at my leisure and not worry about having missed something. Thank you for sharing the nature imagery. I can't get out in it as much as I would like, but I do love seeing it. I'm having a peaceful day at home catching up on your videos and puttering about, so it adds to the calm feeling. 🧚‍♂☮

Oh, Wendy, I think the Solstices drain a bit more of our energy than we understand. Today in Maine we are having an all day dark, rainy day....slow steady rain with a gloomy, darkened sky all d. Seeing your fairy lights reminded me to turn on my versions of fairy lights....."Let your light shine!" Everything here is green, green, green even in the cloud and rain filtered light. The baby birds are out of the nests and visiting the newly refreshed birdbaths. Newly started, the breeze is lifting the leaves and attempting to dry them and I think that means the rainy front is beginning to move on.. You are such a wonderful role model with your healthy snacks.

Hi, Wendy. I am so sorry about you feeling a little down. With the state of the world that it is in, I think that any reasonable, kind, and caring person would feel the same. I had heard about the event at stonehenge and it added to my own sadness. It is hard not to feel sad knowing there are those among us who destroy the beauty of the world. I feel this with any type of destruction. I have been tuning out from as much social media and news as I am able these days and focusing on positive things such as creating and art. I make my living from my art and part of the job (as you know) is being a presence on social media. It is certainly a double-edged sword. But I do my morning rounds and then I focus on making beautiful and fun things to teach others and that occupies my mind for most of the day. And I walk and get out into the beautiful world in which I live. (rural Nova Scotia) I am genrally a solitary kind of girl, so I don't need a lot of people around me all day to make me feel complete - although I love my followers and fellow artists. Coming from Chicago, I had my fill of people - enough to last me a lifetime. But I love and need my fellow creatives. They (like YOU!) are my 'tribe'. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and fears and triumphs with us. I had a wise counselor who taught me that "we follow where we focus." That has been my mantra for the past several years and helps me through my darkest days. Much love and peace and gentle hugs to you.

So sorry that you're "doing it tough". Its hard to be strong and tough when our path seems strewn with obstacles, boulders that seem impossible to climb, and gravel underfoot prevent us from taking simple steps forward. My grandmother always used to say to pace yourself, that life is not a race, certainly not a sprint. I hope you find a healthy pace for yourself, that allows you to make progress on your journey without feeling overtired or overextended energy-wise, and grounded and confident in your steps. Your sketches are lovely, and show so much emotion (how you capture that in three or five minute is just wonderful!), and it sounds as though some days you are getting a lot done, even though you feel that you're struggling. Give yourself credit for working , and seeking balance. Winter here in Australia, and I am struggling to recover from multiple joint injuries. Anything physical is a challenge currently (trying to heal and maintain a positive outlook), and yet enjoying the ice crystal clouds in the morning skies (how would i paint them?), and the gulls and pelicans by the beach (no beach walks until i heal). Also enjoying visits from my local parrots, who have come down from the mountains to the milder coast, white cockatoos and red-headed rosellas and rainbow lorikeets. Delighted to see you enjoying nature and the great outdoors, and the sound of the spring gave me delicious goosebumps. Thank you for taking us with you - should we have brought our sketchbooks too? Sending gentle hugs with Southern ocean breezes (perhaps they'll help cool the air there so it doesn't get too hot), with a generous helping of loving energy, to bounce off the moon, and shower down to you (and all souls in need of energy and a hug). 🤗✨🌛🌌🧡❤️💜💙

Thank You for your lovely videos, art, nature, self-care and letting your light shine. I'm cutting back on screen time, but watching you is one of my favorites. Especially loved the nature walks. I'm in South Carolina and it's too hot for this old body to be outside, unless really early in the morning. Thanks for shining your light 🎁🌹🙏🥰

LOL, my tables are a mess right now as well. I've tried to straighten up over the past couple of days, but it seems like I take 1 step forward and 2 steps back. I've been feeling like I need to push myself as well a little here lately because I feel like I've gone too far into being comfortable and not being as productive as I think I should be, but trying to be gentle with myself and still trying to find the balance. Thank you for sharing your journey, it really helps those of us on our own journey in this creative life.

Hi there Wendy, I totally understand you.. especially with menopause stuff and getting sidetracked a lot. I am in the same situation as you are dealing with, I get sidetracked so much that I'm convinced I have a touch of ADHD. Ugh.. You give me so much help to hear from someone else the struggles I also have. Thank you for your honesty and sharing with us ❤️.. best wishes and blessings your way 💕.

Thank you for sharing - this was another wonderful, grounding video. Yes, I agree, the world has changed in the last few years so much, so quickly - I don't recognize most of it anymore. I try to understand, but - just can't - it gives too much power to those who don't have an appreciation for anything.... I try to keep positive, journal, crochet, in the middle of hopefully moving so I can't do my quilting (my house is listed, most of my stuff is packed - the market is awful - but, I am trying). All I can say is keep moving forward - things will get better - it may take a bit, but it will get better - these things too shall pass.

Yes, mornings have a special charm. I also have more active and fresh energy in the morning. It was really funny to see the Instagram post now and see the other side of the camera. Very grateful.The garden is wonderful, and running water is a blessing. This year it rained a lot and we had water, the lakes filled up. But the summer here in the south of Portugal is extremely hot. Wish I wish you a wonderful week full of fairy magic.❤

It’s been a bit crazy hasn’t it? I’m only a couple of hours away & visit frequently so I’ve been following along with what’s happening. Having read the post by the actual creator of the statue I’m amazed they haven’t returned it to its rightful spot. Strange times indeed. What beautiful morning walks you had there, I’m so looking forward to visiting next month and exploring more of the walking in the surrounding area xxx

As one with several... disorders of the body, I love "Spoon Theory" by I believe Christine Miserande. She explains having to prioritize life based on energy levels that aren't optimal. There are just some days that we need to let go of our ideas of what it "should" be or look like, and just be ok with what is. This has been a lifelong lesson for me. I know you'll relate, Wendy. ✨ I cried awfully about Stonehenge, but t thankful they were able to clean it. Crying about my friends in extremely dangerous places, and crying at the possibilities of wider conflict. This Solstice was a difficult one, in all honesty. I'm glad you gifted yourself some time in a peaceful place.

Hi! Just an anecdotal experience with fatigue and super low energy, (which has now disappeared for me) Firstly I quit coffee, which was so difficult for me since I love coffee, the smell -everything! I also started taking the herb Ashwaghanda, and I honestly have so much energy now! I'm so relieved to have vitality again, anyway this is just my experience, maybe someone else might benefit from it. Thanks for your beautiful vulnerable videos 🩷❤️🩷❤️

You are such a soothing presence even when you're inflamed. I have MECFS and CPTSD and am in menopause and endlessly struggle with getting to places, and it depresses me as I live alone (yay though, despite the loneliness). At the same time I've been doing Feldenkrais for 10 months and it's teaching me how to rest better. Your videos are a treat, thank you. I get clumsy too :)

yes, I have come to know that it is important to give yourself moments, (days?) of just doing what makes you happy and not necessarily things you "should" do. After more than 60 yrs of being a vivacious, energetic, fit, hopeful person with excitement for all the things "still to come" in my life, I have now realized (like someone else in the comments said..) that this is the last half of my life and those years are no longer ahead of me, those plans will probably not happen. It's like a sucker punch to my heart. But I give myself some grace , thrive on things that bring me joy (thank you Marie Kondo) and pull myself out of the negative and back in to the positive again. Thank you for bringing us with you on these BEAUTIFUL walks! Thank you for being you. 💙

My body is a bloody circus and I never know what my day will be like. I am recovering from my first time Covid experience ever. Not fun. Glad your menopause is better. Mine has been going on for over ten long years and I am exhausted from it. So I look forward to the end finally being here. When - who knows so I'll just roll with the punches.

I loved your entire video, but most of all, the beautiful and relaxing views at the end which wrapped up your message (artistic videography). I concur with the general thought that the world feels different - which may be due to my aging process, the internet/AI/social media world, chaos worldwide and humanity being robbed of our essence, among so much more... I too try to be creative in my own way and take in the garden views. Thanks, with love.

Dull aching, joint pain, stiffness, and muscles feel like they are on fire. Bed ridden some days. Exhaustion, to name a few. I sympathise so much. Our energy tank runs on empty frequently. You are realistic about goals, which is good. Don't beat yourself up if some things are left until another day. Enjoy the outdoors, and rest. You😊 deserve it ❤❤

✨🌹✨Dear Wendy So Lovely to see you again, haven't caught up your videos here for a while (long story I won't bore you with) I Love your videos so Gently and Lovingly presented and I guess what I Love most is your Authenticity and willingness to share vulnerability. Loved the trip to Chalice Well and your honouring of Sacred Space there, particularly around the statue, your getting lost in that sketch (which is BeautyFull and captures her Spirit so well) is so Lovely, and your offering of a prayer in that spot where so much controversy has been present over the past few weeks, much needed and in perfect Synchronicity during this time of Solstice, I know that acts like this really help to restore balance and harmony so Thank You for doing this ~ That BeautyFull ending you shared sitting in the meadow listening to the birdsong ~ So tranquil and calming, felt like I was right there with you ~ And last but not least that final piece of text, 'Sending the softest hugs to you' Joyfully received and reciprocated with Love from my Heart to yours SweetHeart ✨🌹✨🙏🤗💞

When I need a boost I go outdoors too. Love this garden. My favourite place is a trail in a provincial park here in Ontario Canada. It is along the river and I see many turtles, birds and flowers. Love to sit on the bench and take it all in. Best if no people come along. Lol! Don't want to share it. I feel energised afterwards. Done some paintings of this trail and intend to do more.

I can relate to this in so many ways. My energy levels have drastically changed over the past months. I was feeling discouraged because I was neglecting my business/creativity only to end up hospitalized and finding out I have Endometrial Cancer. Self-care is so important. I regretfully was ignoring signs, trying to "be strong" and push through, now I'm suffering greatly for it. Long story short, I feel like my health and other challenges I've been experiencing are my way of going "through it" and maybe on the other side I can find my joy, renewed energy, and understand the meaning and lessons of why this is happening.

I had 3 MRI scans. On Thursday I saw my Consultant who has advised full knee replacement which I will have in August. I'm so relieved as I love walking and my mobility has,been impaired for 1 year now! I too, love raspberries, blueberries which I have with cereal and Greek yogurt daily. I hope your fibromyalgia symptoms reduce. My Mom had it for 2 years and steroids helped greatly. I must try sketching soon.....❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
