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

The Truth Revealed (And What Comes Next):Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

Most of us ask for closure when what we are actually begging for is an explanation. But what happens when the explanation doesn’t end the story, but starts a whole new chapter?

When we ask for the “truth to be revealed” in order to experience closure, we must prepare ourselves to receive it. And, sometimes it will not deliver closure at all. Only more epiphanies. “Truth” can actually open another door into deeper understanding, self-knowledge, resilience, and spiritual discernment.

The hardest truth to face isn’t what someone else hid from us…it is what our own intuition tried to tell us all along.

Wow. 

Yet, it may cause us to reach higher, and deeper, in our next relationship. And, we may learn more about our own resilience, and more about the inner work we still need to do, including following and trusting The Universe’s/God’s initial guidance. 

The deepest lesson isn’t simply what someone else did or failed to do, but what we knew or sensed before everything unfolded…and what happens when we learn to trust that knowing more fully.

Rebuilding is a process that creates an even stronger foundation of self, with the Universe, and with another as we begin again…

It’s about rebuilding the architecture of yourself first, and then allowing whatever relationship comes next to be built upon something much more solid…

A brick and mortar foundation…vs a screen time illusion.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

It Is Always Winter:Soul Notes – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

She had so much going for her.

Intelligence.

Personality.

Generosity to a fault…

And…her beauty was external, but more than that…her inner beauty shared the depth of her soul. She exuded empathy and kindness, love and compassion and patience. Forgiveness. Love…

She was so loved, but then…in the depths of abuse and neglect…she lost her way…and they abandoned her.

She stood alone. A cold, dark winter that never brought another spring…and that lasted the rest of her life…

Her beauty faded into despair.

Her despair took her life…And nobody noticed.

Did she really ever exist?

Love and blessings,

Wendy
