A Divine Bath – Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

Today begins a new story…

A stream of harmony, steady hope, divine connection…

Oneness.

After all I’ve walked through…after years of protective solitude…my heart stepped forward. That’s sacred. And it means I am alive, receptive, growing. And that is not lost time.

Sometimes, it’s that life presents mirrors until we fully choose not to hold what doesn’t reflect our worth. Each time you recognize the misalignment faster, speak your needs clearer, and walk away sooner…that’s growth. That’s co-creating your healing with God.

Ask yourself…

  1. What did this experience teach me about what I truly need in a relationship?
  2. Where did I show growth in how I expressed my needs and protected my peace?
  3. What part of me is healing now, even in this disappointment?
  4. What kind of love am I ready to receive now—more than ever before?

Never, ever negotiate your worth.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

Dating is Exhausting – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

In today’s dating culture and climate, I observe challenges in finding compatible partners. Finding a partner who genuinely says what they mean, and means what they say has become almost obsolete.

In my experience with the men I have dated, they come on strong, or love bombing, and then within two weeks, they ghost you because they lack the emotional intelligence to thrive in a loving relationship. And they have misrepresented themselves which unfolds organically right before my eyes.

Dating is exhausting. It reminds me of why I was unmotivated in the first place.

I love being in love, and experiencing the joy, closeness and connection with another. I will continue to search with discernment, the man that will bring 100% of himself grounded in truth, integrity and devotion.

He is out there.

I remind myself to set boundaries, stand in my truth, and observe, and never, ever discard my gut feeling right from the first yellow flag…or worse yet, red flag.

Practice self care that promotes your well being and self confidence.

He is out there.

Love,

Wendy

The One That Got Away – SoulNotes

wendyblanchard044

I am not here for you to step on as the foundation of who you pretended to be.
I once told you…I am not your relationship tutor.
If you didn’t have the capacity to love me the way I deserve,
you should have stepped aside.

And yet… here you are, still in my orbit, years later.

I am here for reciprocity.
For unconditional love I can feel, even when I’m alone…
not unrequited love that lives only in your empty words,
never in your behavior.

Your attention-seeking now that I’ve moved on is exhausting.
It is disrespectful.

You would not recognize this version of me.
And for that, I thank you.

Because you forced me inward…to seek truth,
to build love from within,
to meet a new relationship from a whole and healthy place.

I am the one who got away—
because you never had the courage to connect with yourself,
let alone with me.

Find your self-respect.
Move forward.
Be well.

Closing Mantra
I release the need for closure from anyone but myself.
I do not grieve who they were—I honor who I’ve become.
I am no longer available for half-love, false hope, or emotional residue.
I walk forward in truth, in dignity, and in devotion to my peace.
I trust that love, when it’s real, will never require me to abandon myself.
Each time I begin to abandon my beautiful self,
God whispers, “It’s okay to peek at the past with fondness—just don’t romanticize the poetry. After all, it’s just another line on an empty page.”

Love and blessings always,

Wendy

The Universe Tweaks My Assignment – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

Sometimes, the Universe keeps putting people on our path not to show us what we lack, but to reveal how much we’ve grown. I am being called to refine my discernment—to notice, even sooner, who is capable of meeting me fully, and who is still orbiting their own unhealed places. It is empowering…I am no longer chasing love. I am curating my inner circle with care.

The Universe shows me over and over, that the love I am seeking will have to match the depth, the softness, and the strength which I have cultivated in myself. When we raise the bar, the right people rise to meet us there. We strive for absolute balance as we aim to reach the bar on each glorious day. 

With clear eyes, I’m learning to stay open to love…even in the face of uncertainty.

Spirit is my teacher.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

Soul Notes

After the Storm – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

I’ve lived through storms that could have swallowed me.
I’ve known love that vanished without warning,
and words that were louder than actions.

I carry a story shaped by fire,
and still—I choose to speak gently, to hope bravely,
to open my heart with discernment, not fear.

If someone is drawn to my light
but disappears when it flickers with truth—
that’s not my failure.
That’s their unfamiliarity with real strength…
and a reflection of their lack of readiness.

One’s silence is not a reflection of my worth, my story, or my strength. My past is not a liability—it’s a testament to my power. Anyone who doesn’t see the resilience, courage, and transformation in my story is simply not ready for a woman who’s done the hard work to rise.

Sometimes people are moved by intensity in the moment, but when it comes time to actually step into something real—with complexity, depth, and vulnerability—they retreat. Not because you were too open, but because they weren’t ready for the kind of truth and intimacy that requires.

I will continue to live out loud…not just to live in my truth…
but to hold the space for others who need an example of “to thine own self be true.”

This isn’t just about me.
It’s about the sacred ripple of authenticity…
how one voice saying “this is who I am”
gives permission for another to whisper, “me too.”

Ask yourself,
“Where are you holding back in speaking your truth for fear of being ghosted? What would you tell a dear friend in this same situation if they wanted to hide their scars that revealed their own fight to live? Whose silence might your truth help to break?”

To be an advocate for others…we must always share our own story to stand in our truth.
This is the space where we stand in our power.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

Soul Notes

An Invitation to Love – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

When we’re not used to being loved in a healthy, safe, and steady way, it can actually feel threatening at first. Our nervous system may interpret it as unfamiliar, even unsafe, because it disrupts patterns we’ve long used to protect ourselves…patterns born from trauma, neglect, or rejection. So when love finally shows up, it can stir up confusion, fear, or even a need to retreat.

In that retreat, that quiet space the Universe (or God) offers, we’re given a sacred pause…a moment to look inward. That space isn’t punishment or absence. It’s an invitation to:

  • Notice what’s coming up (fear of abandonment, unworthiness, distrust, etc.)
  • Get curious instead of reactive.
  • Ask ourselves: What part of me still believes I don’t deserve this? What am I afraid will happen if I fully receive this love?

That pause, that distance, can be divine timing—meant for healing, not for punishment.

True story…

Love,

Wendy

Soul Notes

Sunlight in the Rain – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

The difference between becoming overcome by our challenges and adversity, and rising above them, often comes down to one thing…

Resilience.

It is a skill that we build when we have ongoing opportunities to build resilience as we experience repeated challenge and adversity.

When we choose to step right into the storm…

we stretch, we grow, we rise.

Eventually, in most instances, we are able to “reframe” our pain so that we see the sunlight in the rain. 

We learn that both can exist…and that we can still bloom…even in the rain.

Ask yourself, “What challenge in my life helped me grow resilience, even if I didn’t recognize it at the time?” 

Think of a time when you felt overwhelmed by adversity. How did you respond in that moment…did you “respond,” or REACT? How did that experience shape the way you show up in your life today? In what ways did you demonstrate resilience, even if you didn’t feel strong at the time?

Love and blessings,

Wendy
