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

Faith:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

A little faith, a little laughter, and a little peace is a Divine conspiracy.

May the right doors open, the truth come to light, and your peace be restored.

When you have done your part, leave a little room for faith to do hers.

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

Loving family and friends, collegues, acquaintences, community, nature, music, an encouraging word, a hug, a handshake, a book, a “Soul Note” that speaks to YOUR soul…

Love. God.

And perhaps, today, a little grace for yourself as well.

Love and blessings,

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

They picked on the “wrong girl…” – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

It’s so hard to find a ride or die nowadays… but I am blessed to have a few.

People have become so afraid to stand up for themselves or for others who are being blatantly wronged that they hide behind, “I’m sorry” and turn away, or simply cower in the face of harassment and verbal abuse, protecting their own comfort while someone being bullied and harassed is left to stand alone…

They picked on the “wrong girl…”

A strong woman doesn’t need a crowd to stand with her to know she’s standing for what is right…

It is simply second nature.

She doesn’t cower in the face of intimidation, and she doesn’t surrender her voice because someone else believes they hold the power. She stands her ground and finally goes nose to nose with the abuser…

It may take a minute for her to re-balance and steady herself…but a strong woman always finds her footing and her constructive solution.

Courage means standing up for what’s right, whether you are the one being wronged, or the person witnessing someone else being wronged…

They picked on the “wrong girl…”

I may go down…but I never stay down.

Checkmate.

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,”

Love and blessings,

Wendy

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

Story Time – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

Restraint is strength. For now.

Oh… but have I got a story to tell. And when the time is right, I will tell it…

A true masterpiece.

In the meantime, remember this…
Integrity does not require passivity. You can be ethical and fierce.
You can protect yourself.
You can stand firmly in your presence, your truth, and your worth.

And sometimes, the most powerful move you can make is to know exactly when to speak…and exactly when to remain silent.

And when the time is right…

Have I got a story to tell…

Life lesson: I will not allow anyone to define my worth by my limitations or decide when my contribution is no longer valuable.

Love and blessings,

Wendy
