Welcome to Wendy's Not-So-Secret Journal!
Confessions of a living work-a-holic.
I was sitting in my living room on an ordinary afternoon when my phone buzzed. Harry’s name flashed on the screen—a name I recognized only in passing. Our paths had crossed when my son and his daughter had been “dating” in the innocent, awkward way fifth graders do. I barely knew Harry, but he clearly […]
The year where your smartwatch nags you to hydrate, your fridge orders groceries before you realize you’re out, and your boss thinks sending you Slack messages at 10 p.m. is totally normal. And yet, amidst the tech-driven convenience, life feels more chaotic than ever. Sound familiar? Don’t worry—you’re not failing at life. Life in 2025 […]
The healthcare system is something we will all need at some point in our life. If you haven’t had to go to a hospital or doctor in a long time then consider yourself very lucky! I have written about the healthcare system in past post, and unfortunately I am reliving my nightmare all over again! […]
The other day I posted a blog about COVID-19 and how we as a family are learning to survive being up each others butt 24 hours a day 7 days a week! Today I want to talk about some of the things we have been doing to survive this new found “normal” way of life. […]

I didn’t start out with thick skin, but over time I started building walls to protect myself, I stopped trusting anyone, and my heart began to harden. So how do you be […]
I’m a working mother of two kids, with two dogs and one husband. I wouldn’t change it for the world. However, the other day I looked in the mirror and I was like “What the “F” happened?” A wrinkle here, a muffin top there, and my hair??? Let’s just say I’ve let it go so […]
I’ve had a rough time over the last year and a half. If you have read any of my blogs you have read only a portion of the emotional roller coaster I have been on. Part of it is the fact that I’m my own worst enemy, and part of it is just life. My […]
I look back through the days…Days long into the past.A time when all the moments we sharedWent by way too fast.I flip through all the pagesOf my collected memories.I cherish this book existingOf all my secret fantasies.These treasured recollectionsThat time can’t take away,I’ve hidden from the world around meYet the passion’s growing day by day.I […]
