“When you have never measured up or been enough for someone else…even within your family, you tend to feel lost and less than…always looking for validation on the outside.
Throughout my SUD recovery work, I am learning to stand in my own power through self exploration and self discovery, so that I am able to seek validation within.” – Wendy Blanchard, MS, CHHC
“As I continue to age…gracefully, I embrace everything about my body that I spent my life trying to change.
Whatever time is still meant for me here…I will remain positive and accept all that I cannot change, just loving every part of who I am.
My inner self shines on the outside.
Age offers clear perspective…and I will continue to learn and grow all the days of my life. This is where I experience joy and excitement.
I am ME.” – Wendy Blanchard, MS, CHHC
“A man who is secure within himself will never be threatened by a woman’s success, growth or of her relationships.
He will be the man who whispers words of love and encouragement. She will offer to him all that she is…deeply…from within her soul.” Wendy Blanchard, MS, CHHC
“Choose someone who chooses to be with you…who is excited to see you, speak to you, stay connected to you.
Choose someone who believes in love, and who takes risks for that love.
Choose someone with integrity, vulnerability, who is truthful, and who makes you a priority without having to be reminded.
Choose someone who is a negotiator and puts as much emphasis on your needs as their own.
Choose someone who is good for your mental health.
Choose someone who will spoil you with unconditional love.
Choose someone who will embrace love.
Choose for yourself all that YOU are.
Choose a life partner not a life project.” – Wendy Blanchard, M.S., CHHC
“When those closest to us respect our decisions in all aspects of our life, and trust that we know how to take care of ourselves, including in our choice of a loving partner, they are showing us that they respect our boundaries, that they respect our ability to choose what, and who breathes life into our soul, the one who gives us joy and makes us feel deeply loved, and that they, those closest to us…love us unconditionally.” – Wendy Blanchard, M.S., CHHC
“As I observe my joyful moments, I remind myself to deeply cherish each one…to be present, and to love fully. Recently, as the Universe has shown me how fragile life truly is, I am humbled by the true reality of the gift of each moment of every day. Never again will I wait to love, or to be loved. It all begins in your mind.” – Wendy Blanchard, M.S., CHHC
