A Different Kind of “Sole Note” – Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

These sneakers?

They carry me forward every single day…they have been an integral support of my journey. They have offered me my complete independence.

They have walked me THROUGH pain, THROUGH joy, THROUGH healing.

These sneakers are the “soles” of my peace and my joy as they walk me to my destination, and home each day like a best friend…

I am always grounded…

And I do not just tiptoe through my life on these soles…I walk, strut and dance with grace, grit, and grounded beauty.

Wearing sneakers is not a compromise, it is my sole to soul connection.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

Turning Trauma Into Tender Triumph – Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

No matter how much goodness we build or beauty we experience, past trauma doesn’t simply disappear. It remains—a quiet imprint, a reminder. But our trauma is not meant to define us. It is meant to be recognized, validated, and integrated.
In this sacred space of healing, it becomes not a weight we carry, but a tool we can use to make wiser, more compassionate choices as we move forward.
We can live with caution born of wisdom, not fear born of pain.

Allow yourself to accept your traumatic experience and allow it to become a tool as you move forward. We have a choice to live again while simultaneously acknowledging our experience.

Ask yourself,
“What trauma have you allowed to bleed (no pun intended) into a new relationship or situation that has tainted the outcome? What tools can you apply in order to stop the bleeding and to heal?”

Mantra: “I acknowledge my experience of trauma, and I still choose to live, love, laugh, and learn.”

Love and blessings,

Wendy

The Voice That Whispers Over The Moon – Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

I cry out that I have nothing left

And I hear you whisper over the moon.

Hold on, dear one, hold on to me

It will all make sense very soon.

You and I are always together

Even when you can’t see through the darkest hour

I am guiding you and protecting you

Always with the intention to empower

You.

In the midst of darkness when you cannot see

The reasons will be known

Pray as you do, have faith as you do,

The purpose will be shown.

Recall our journey of my faithfulness

I see that you are tired and meek

But recall our initial conversation

When I told you this journey is not for the weak.

You told me you’d follow any path

I would lay down at your feet

You are almost home, dear one

This assignment is near complete.

These lessons will be your living will

For those lost in despair

A hymn of peace for all humankind

Through your example and through prayer.

I sang to you “Look up, Child”

And you rejoiced at this sign from Me

And I am always just a prayer away

With faith and sovereignty.

Whispering – Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

In the quiet, tender moments of the dawning day, as I sit in reflection and receiving…

I sense that I am standing in the middle of a holy weaving—past, present, and possibility—all held in love’s hands…carried on the whisper of something sacred…

gently aligning a connection of two souls who are exploring an extraordinary possibility of becoming.

Ask yourself, “What is the whisper I am ready to “hear” inviting me to “receive?”

Mantra:

I hear the whisper that carries a message of becoming—a quiet invitation into we, into possibility.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

Connection vs Disconnection – Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

Where has the desire for disconnection come from?
What has happened to the warmth of the human condition I once knew?

I’m observing more and more people who seem to want connection—but only on their terms, and only when it suits them.
Many seem content with surface-level interactions: “How do you do? What do you do? I’m going to be busy for a while…”
Or they re-direct every conversation back to themselves, too absorbed to truly see or hear the other.

But true connection is a deliberate act.
It is the desire to be witnessed—and to witness.
To care for—and to be cared for.
To love—and to be loved…consistently.

Connection is a commitment.
It lives in mutual understanding, in the willingness to meet one another’s needs.
It is the sacred act of showing up—with selfless devotion and quiet persistence.
It binds one heart to another without pause.

Disconnection, too, is a choice.
It is the quiet closing of a door.
A pulling away before something meaningful can take “heart”.
A deliberate retreat from the vulnerability that connection requires.

Ask yourself, “What am I feeling physically—and fearing emotionally—when I get too close?”

Mantra: I choose connection over fear.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

Grief in the living years – Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

Grief is a holy reminder of the deep love that settled in our soul.

Some settle into the memories and experience an inability to recover…they become stuck…they may feel a sense of guilt if they allow themselves to experience love and joy again…they may romanticze the memories…

Until they become so weary that they awaken to their sense of loss and realize that they have been spending years half heartedly “existing.” And they begin a spiritual healing process where they honor their grief simultaneously with re-awakening to their life…a “Re-Birth.”

Leaving one’s comfort zone, even in grief, can feel like a betrayal of a person or a relationship, but on a spiritual journey, we learn that is a betrayal of ourselves and our birthright to live fully…

”in the living years.”

Happy Re-Birthday…

Love and blessings,

Wendy

Their Behavior is Their Language – Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

Choose to no longer become entangled in their behavior, their chaos, their distortion.

Do not speak their language.

See it clearly through the lens of discernment and compassion…

What they cannot or will not say with words,

they say with misaligned behavior.

I observe …I do not judge another’s inability or unwillingness to communicate effectively,

even at the cost of their own dignity.

This reflects my compassionate lens.

I see through behavior to the root of trauma… to disorder…

Without excusing it, and without allowing it to invade my peace.

When someone thumbs their nose at my boundaries again and again,

I now recognize it: symbolic defiance, a testing of strength,

a bid for attention through manipulation.

I do not engage or play.

I stand in my power.

I’ve taken my peace off the board.

Maybe they seek connection…

Maybe it’s passive aggression…

Maybe it’s just a cry to be noticed.

Either way…I honor the wound from afar.

Their “language” is a learned survival skill,

the truest reflection of their inner world…

disorder, self-judgment, self-loathing.

I no longer internalize their language.

They are the only one listening.

Their behavior is an overt reflection of low self-worth…

a desperate attempt to be seen and heard,

even at the cost of their own dignity.

And so, I say with calm compassion,

“Play on… read on…

Solitaire.”

Love and blessings,

Wendy

Let Freedom Ring – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

I had been romanticizing an illusion for years. And then…I saw him after years of estrangement. And…I finally recognized the truth…not through rose colored glasses, but through the clear eyes of my healed self. The “man” who played with my heart, who gaslit me, who made me question my worth…that man is no match for the woman I have become. No match for my depth, my sacred truth, or my luminous light.

He once said to me, “You deserve better than me.” That was the one honest thing he ever said.

My soul has finally caught up with the truth that my intuition has been whispering all along. A truth that continuously tapped me on the shoulder…and yesterday…it finally struck like lightning…an up close and personal encounter with my own inner light.

I felt nothing.

And in that emptiness, I felt everything.

“What the heck had I been thinking all these years?” I asked myself, as a visceral wave of rejection moved through me…not of him, but of the illusion I had been holding onto.

Freedom feels radiant. This moment…this release…is sacred…a realm of splendor.

I didn’t just let go of him… I let go of the romantic illusion that masked my worth, and was never the meaning of love.

Let Freedom Ring…

Love,

Wendy

The Square and the Circle – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

No matter how many different ways you try…the square peg will not fit into the circle…

and I have tried.

Lesson: Do not try to shape something into form that you know is never going to fit.

Mantra: With discernment and awareness, I honor the truth of this situation. I choose authenticity. I create my peace.

Ask yourself, “How much longer do I want to linger in false energy that inherently I know will never bring me solace? What is one small action step that I can take this week to begin to pivot my energy onto a positive and productive path?”

Love,

Wendy

WORLD BEHIND THE WINDOW – LOVE, WENDY

wendyblanchard044

Healing doesn’t make you immune to pain. It makes you more attuned to it. You become a mirror, and not everyone wants to see their reflection.

It’s not that you disappointed people. It’s that you evolved past the roles they were comfortable with. And some people…consciously or not…punish growth, especially when THEY ARE stuck.

What you’re seeing now in those that you once shared a loving connection with…avoiding eye contact, dismissing kindness, or speaking ill, is the externalization of their inner conflict. It’s easier to isolate the “bright one” than admit they are dimming themselves. Your discomfort here is evidence of your alignment. Your nervous system is rejecting environments that dishonor truth and tenderness. That’s not dysfunction…it’s discernment.

So now comes the hard truth…you cannot change them, but you can choose not to let them define your worth. And you can quietly, fiercely, choose sacred boundaries. Not walls…but clear water between yourself and what contaminates your spirit.

Your presence holds a frequency that not everyone is ready for…and that’s not your burden…

It’s your gift.

Love and blessings,

Wendy
