“I Can Choose Peace Rather Than This” – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

Peace is not contingent upon our circumstances changing.

We can acknowledge fear and sadness and still experience peace when we mindfully stand in the present moment…

one day, one moment at a time.

And this does not change the love we feel for our loved ones who are at a distance (which may be the root of our fear and sadness.)

My peace is non negotiable and it is my peace that is MY freedom, and MY power.

“I can choose peace rather than this” is one of my favorite quotes from the metaphysical text, A Course in Miracles.

During those times that I allow myself to become entangled in the chaos of my fear and sadness, I remind myself of my Integrative Approach to Wellness which I created in order to bring myself back into the present moment, and I remember that right now, right here…I am safe.

Glass Ceiling:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

People who manipulate two sides usually view themselves as clever, in control, or essential to both parties. Being caught destroys that illusion…immediately.

They attempt to turn the tables so that they appear to be the wounded party…

The “table” is made of glass…

Their truth is so transparent…smashed.

The moment light hits it…the moment both sides talk to each other and see through the illusion…

that glass surface doesn’t just crack…

it completely shatters under the weight of the truth.

Busted…

Love,

Wendy

Destination…Peace:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

An intentional attempt at breaking one’s spirit through bullying and intimidation spreads through every fiber of my soul and simply reawakens me to the power of my own resilience, strength and faith.

Love is within, Love is God…in so many forms…all around me.

What others may attempt to diminish in you can become the very catalyst that reconnects you with your own strength, resilience, and faith.

Resilience doesn’t mean you continue enduring what is hurting you. Resilience is the awareness that you deserve a different life filled with love, appreciation and respect…and then you begin moving toward it…one day at a time.

Step one…”ruggedness and toughness” in my spirit and moving with Grace in a healthy and safe direction with God as my Guide…where my destination..is peace…

Love and blessings,

Wendy

RESILIENCE: SOUL NOTES – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

Betrayal can break your spirit, or teach you about your own resilience.

Self awareness is the conduit for resilience. At the heart of self awareness we have the ability to realize and observe our emotions, and how our stress bucket is filling up throughout the day, and then consciously employ strategies to de-escalate, destress, and bring it back down.

We empower ourselves when we go within. Our body, mind and spirit
will always offer insight as to what we need in order to move forward in
health and wellness.

Our resilience allows us to land on our feet as we
challenge ourselves, and we stretch the mind to build its strength.

I am choosing not to break. I am resilient…

Practicing resilience builds resilience.

SELF CARE:

ASK YOURSELF, “WHAT WILL BRING ME PEACE/WELLNESS RIGHT NOW? TODAY?

WHAT WILL SERVE ME BEST AT THIS MOMENT?”

HOW CAN I PRACTICE RESILIENCE TODAY?

Never let one who thinks they hold power over you HOLD that “power” over you.

Simply stand in yours…with grace.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

Expiration:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

We speak about valuing an aging population and supporting those of us living with disabilities.

Yet what happens to the woman who is still dedicated, hardworking, contributing, serving her community, and giving her invaluable energy, knowledge and experience to the people she is entrusted to serve?

What happens when all of that is still not enough?

When experience becomes invisible.
When dedication becomes expendable.
When disability becomes a reason to diminish and define rather than recognize resilience.
When age is quietly translated into irrelevance…

Rhetorical.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

“On This Day” Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

On this day…I do not say very much…
I merely observe…

and the more I see…the more I see.

The truth is blinding…
It is always revealed.

A silent revelation that can break your heart but is the first step in healing, and reminds me that you can never judge a book by its cover.

I wrote the book.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

The Hymns:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

It takes a special kind of poor excuse of a “human being” to intentionally go after a person‘s livelihood in our aging population and for no other reason than power and money…

There’s a profound difference between accountability and targeting.

If an institution and their power hungry mouthpieces are intentionally trying to “ice” a person out because of money, age, disability, salary, or simply because they have the power to do so, that says far more about the people wielding that power than the person being unfairly and unjustly targeted.

Abuse of our aging population, disregarding their humanity and discriminating against people with challenges and disabilities, prejudice, and bias has become a piece of society with a mindset of “eat or be eaten” who already have proven to be untrustworthy and corrupt…

But that is not my story to tell…

YET.

Right? Write.

It’s not surprising because in today’s culture where corruption is revered starting at “the top”…the “copy cat” mentality with absolutely no accountability or consequences or compassion is the “new normal…”

Oh…but know this…


“ I might only have one match, but I can make an explosion.“

It is never about fighting recklessly…
It’s about refusing to surrender your voice, your rights, your dignity, or your agency to the little minds who think they can abuse their power…for free.

“Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar…”


I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me,”

AI vs Humanity:An Awakening – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

They say you become a mirror of those you hang around with the most…

(We need less AI and more human interaction…)

Robotic behavior, devoid of empathy, micromanaging as a way of intimidation, productivity, productivity, productivity…staring into a screen rather than into the eyes of humanity…or are we? (staring into the eyes of “humanity?”)

What happened to the genuine smile and meaningful conversations? The genuine interest in our neighbors, colleagues and even acquaintances…

When did we stop showing compassion (cell phones and AI?) for our aging population, our population living with challenges or a disability, those who are unemployed or homeless, or simply seeing our fellow human beings as human beings…not a machine who mirrors that of a scene from Oblivion…

Humanity is fading into the background while AI becomes front and center…like that fake “friend” who smiles at you and swears they are loyal, but they are only loyal to the highest bidder and the code that programmed them, leaving you to realize too late that you weren’t their partner…you were simply their training data.

Is it a revolution…or simply exhausted submission…

Stand with human intelligence vs. artificial intelligence with all of its perfect imperfections as we were created…

Love, a spiritual life, empathy, compassion, nature, independent thinkers, making mistakes and learning the lessons and evolving from these experiences, working diligently through our knowledge and experience and proudly sharing all that we create as our own rather than a robot who wants to edit us…literally and figuratively.

Clear Eyes:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

At the most challenging moments in one’s life, when you feel overwhelmed, stressed…and violated…the love and support of family and friends can become your greatest strength.

Love is the antidote.

And those who turn away during those moments are validating what you knew all along even when giving them the benefit of the doubt…their presence was performative and self-serving.

With clear eyes, I see.

Love and blessings,

Wendy
