Closing The Door…Opening The Window – Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

When they slam the door but leave the window open…it is simply a tentative peek through the crack at the sunshine that they long for…but cannot summon the courage to risk burning their vulnerable “skin.”

So…they sit by the window and daydream…from days to months to years, until aging is moving like a wildfire crossing paths and burning the foundation…devouring what was never bravely lived…a haunting, sacred truth.…

and now…time is even closer to its destination.

Live, take risks, love…because time IS even closer to its destination.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

God Bless The Broken Road – Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

“God bless the broken road that led me straight to you…”

not to another, but to myself.

To healing.

To learning and growing…

To thriving.

To this exact moment of choosing love—not from lack, but from abundance.

After all that I have carried, I showed up with an open heart and gave myself permission to experience something new…to connect…

In faithfulness.

And today, the broken road begins to lead me toward someone new… someone ready…me.

Finally…I am finally ready to be met in my unapologetic truth…

Where I am seen…where I am heard…where I am felt…where I am loved.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

You and Me – Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

Faith is a conscious choice to sit in the feelings of simply “knowing”… it is an intuitive lingering that, with patience and spiritual confidence, eventually manifests when all of the fragments align and fuse together our healing spirits in a parallel void.

With a promising glance, I trust in sacred timing and soul recognition.

Ask yourself,
“Where in my life can I release expectation and lean into trust that who is meant for me already recognizes me?”

Mantra:
I trust in sacred timing and soul recognition.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

Connection vs Alignment – Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

In sacred stillness I hear Spirit whisper, “connection is not the same as alignment.”

I continue to use discernment to pray for our highest truth and blessings. I will listen, but I will not lose myself.

I am ready for the love that shows up fully and stays. I remain clear, practice my boundaries, and choose what aligns.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

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
