The Coddiwomple Lady

The Coddiwomple Lady Hi, I'm Wendy, here you'll find lighthearted midlife musings of a child free, adult orphaned oneling woman travelling purposefully towards a vague destination!

CODDIWOMPLE (v): An old English slang verb meaning "to travel in a Purposeful manner towards a vague destination." Wendy Jennings, also known as The Coddiwomple Lady, lives in the heart of Kent with her other half & soul-mate, Tim. She is a writer, Life Coach and artist who is passionate about helping others find their purpose in life and empowering them to live a joyous life. Her book "From Cancer To Coddiwomple - A Story of Love, Loss and Daring to Dream" tells her story of living with her parents' illnesses and how she re-built her life after losing them both, within weeks of each other. Travel with her as she embarks on the trip of a lifetime to Bali and Australia where she sought to discover her new Life After Loss. Here she also uncovered a deep connection with Reiki and has since qualified as a Reiki Practitioner. Wendy's mission in life is to help inspire others that they too can enjoy Life After Loss. Proceeds from her book help her support St Barnabas House hospice in Sussex and her story also raises awareness of the signs and symptoms of Ovarian Cancer as they can so easily be missed in the early stages. As well as life coaching support, Wendy is also available to write guest blogs/articles, media interviews and speaking. She has appeared on BBC Radio as well as regional magazines & newspapers.

Better late than never! I don’t think I’ve ever been so late in the month with my coddiwompling exploits, but here we go!

There’s the first part of our trip to Wales, an art commission and a new creation. It’s been a busy time!

Something unexpected and wonderful happened last week: I received a Sunshine Blogger award on Substack. I was gobsmacked! It’s important that we all support each other, there’s room for all of us.

Evidently this has been going since 2016 and is a way for bloggers to share and uplift other bloggers. I’ve never met the lady who nominated me, but we’ve connected through our writing, which is wonderful.

If you’re a creative who sometimes feels like your work is floating around anonymously in the ether, please don’t give up. You never know where your words will land or who will resonate with your work…it happens when it’s ready. Keep following your sunshine 🌻🌻

If you would like to join me, I’d love to welcome you to my little Coddiwomple Community 😊

This was such a personal and special piece to create for a family wedding present. Thankfully, the happy couple love it! (it's always a bit nerve-wracking, gifting a picture as art is such a personal taste!) and it brings back memories of a beautiful, joyful day.

They're new and dish up a wickedly delicious Crab Benedict and Egg & Bacon sandwich! No photo evidence as they didn't hang around long enough!
