Today I saw you…from afar.
I did not stop, I did not want to intrude, but instead smiled at the way my heart swelled with love at the sight of you. My memories are always tucked into my heart, and I remember that you are at “the heart of the matter.”
Always.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
In my opinion, once we have experienced a deep spiritual love with another, it can never be replicated a second time. It will look and feel differently with each new, additional love. It will never feel exactly the same as what we felt when we experienced falling in love with our spiritual twin the first time.
We live with gratitude for the experience, and hold the memories close to our heart, and deep within our soul. A big part of us yearns for a lifetime.
And…we push forward seeking to find love once more. No comparisons…just enjoying a new love in its own voice, and in its own right as God carries us along sipping on the bittersweet taste of love.
Sipping slowly in order to remain present to the experience of the sweetness of new love, and practicing gratitude for every experience.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
Those of us who have had our hearts broken guard ourselves with a shield of armor to ensure the safety of our hearts future. If anyone gets too close, we put forth the shield to protect ourselves from possible repeated heartbreak.
Then at some point, maybe months or perhaps even years later we become isolated behind the shield, so, we lower it a bit to allow ourselves to feel again.
We begin to heal. We practice embracing new love and compassion into our heart…slowly…as we grow to trust again, and continue to allow love to penetrate the shield.
We no longer resist love, and we begin to feel more at peace with accepting the gift of love as we continue to heal…as we continue to trust…as we continue to believe that love is all that is missing from any situation.
Love and blessings,

“WHEN WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE IN OUR RELATIONSHIPS, AND WITHIN OURSELVES, IT IS A MINDFUL DECISION TO GROW AND HEAL, AND TO LIVE AND LOVE. CHANGE IS INEVITABLE, GROWTH IS MINDFUL AND SKILLFUL. WE ONLY GROW WHEN WE CHOOSE TO EMBRACE CHANGE” – WENDY BLANCHARD, M.S., INHC, NYCPS
I observe so many people using their words like weapons, and their tongues as a machete on social media platforms.
Where does all of this anger stir from? It’s deeply toxic, and diffused daily can be as toxic as the air we are now breathing. Ongoing toxic thoughts and words promotes inflammation on a cellular level and affects our wellness.
How is this productive? The demeaning of another’s character, the use of name-calling, and a “tit for tat“ mindset that goes on, and on, as I scroll down the page in disbelief, where adults are decimating each other in this way is disheartening.
And our children and grandchildren are watching and listening. Trust me, you may not think they are, but they hear and see everything that we do. Is this the example we want to set?
I ask that you think about your words before you post. Breathe and speak as you want to be spoken to.
So many are now posting anonymously hiding behind their computer. I’m actually observing a bully mindset and bullying tactics.
There are conspiracy theories now about the air quality due to the Canadian fires. I do not agree with these theories, but I am certainly not going to demean and degrade people whose belief system is different than mine.
You have a choice to scroll right on by. You have a choice to implement self regulation and self control. You have a choice to tell yourself in your own space in the privacy of your home whatever you want to about the posts that you are reading by other people. Not everything has to be an invitation for combat. How is it productive to get into a back-and-forth mud slinging with people in our own community? We are all suffering. Isn’t this the time to support each other? To BE a community?!
Love is the absence of judgment. If we are standing in judgment of other people and publicly ridiculing them because of their beliefs, we are lacking empathy and respect.
I want to live in a world where others accept me for my beliefs and values, even if they do not agree with me. My beliefs and my values doesn’t make me right or wrong. It is however my choice to be honest and humble in my delivery.
Can’t we just agree to disagree and move forward?
Let’s remember all of our blessings and speak with eloquence and gratitude. Our global community has endured so much over the past few years, and now we are faced with another major challenge. I pray that we all take a deep breath, and realize that we are all on the same team. 
Yes, there is work to be done, and from where I’m standing, Its A Wonderful Life. It’s about mindset, perspective and empathy.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
Last night I prayed for God’s wisdom and Divine Intervention. This morning, I received a phone call with said Intervention. I recognized His response to my request for “an answer” in the words being spoken by my caller.
The most effective way to describe God’s response is that He stood with me “eye to eye” and I heard him simply say, “No, do not choose a new, “old” path. I am guiding you, and offering you my strength to work through this challenge. Together, step by step, we will continue on. Lean into my strength to take another step, purposefully and mindfully towards “Our” desired destination. Use this experience to offer hope to others.”
“When God says, “No,” stand in your faith. Pray. Listen. Surrender. He is creating space to move in ways that you cannot yet understand or see. “Romans 8:28 is a great reminder that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him, and who have been called according to His purpose.”
I heard His message clearly. I exhaled in a sigh of relief as I “knew” that this would be His answer. We have an intimate relationship and daily dialogue where I am aware of what the outcome will be. Sometimes, I just need Him to validate my confidence in the “process.” As it states in A Course In Miracles, “Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait, and wait without anxiety.”
And so, I took one more baby step on the exclusive path that He has “called me” to “shepherd.”
Love and blessings,
Wendy
