Welcome to Wendy's Journal

Embark on a journey of self-discovery, inspiration, and meaningful connections with readers from around the world.

I’ve decided to start a journal to embrace the year 2025, a choice I’ve pondered over for quite some time. Writing has always intrigued me, but I found myself questioning the direction my journal should take.

Should I open up and share my deepest thoughts, or should I only reveal a few carefully chosen personal insights?

Should I document my travel adventures or lean more toward personal reflections? Am I even skilled enough to create a meaningful journal? Doubts and questions swirl in my mind, leaving me uncertain but eager to begin this creative journey. 

I decided to be brave and create my Wendy's Journal. 

As I anticipate the year 2025 and the many adventures that lie ahead, I am filled with hope for even greater personal  growth. Looking back on 2022, 2023, and 2024, despite having to live a very solitary and lonely life.  I miss Mark all the time. I miss our togetherness. I miss chatting with him. I miss sharing our meals together. 

I also attempted  to develop an online project, Wendy's Global English (a project which has been put on hold indefinitely), in December 2024 after my long awaited reunion with my husband, Mark Aspinall - my forever soulmate.

I was incredibly relieved to reunite with Mark in November 2024, after a long 14 years apart. Our paths finally crossed again in a remote and secluded corner of Southeast Asia. I was filled with excitement for our reunion because, deep down, I still cared deeply for him and held onto the hope of rekindling what we once had. At the same time, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of optimism and doubt about what the future might hold for us.
