The One That Got Away – SoulNotes

wendyblanchard044

I am not here for you to step on as the foundation of who you pretended to be.
I once told you…I am not your relationship tutor.
If you didn’t have the capacity to love me the way I deserve,
you should have stepped aside.

And yet… here you are, still in my orbit, years later.

I am here for reciprocity.
For unconditional love I can feel, even when I’m alone…
not unrequited love that lives only in your empty words,
never in your behavior.

Your attention-seeking now that I’ve moved on is exhausting.
It is disrespectful.

You would not recognize this version of me.
And for that, I thank you.

Because you forced me inward…to seek truth,
to build love from within,
to meet a new relationship from a whole and healthy place.

I am the one who got away—
because you never had the courage to connect with yourself,
let alone with me.

Find your self-respect.
Move forward.
Be well.

Closing Mantra
I release the need for closure from anyone but myself.
I do not grieve who they were—I honor who I’ve become.
I am no longer available for half-love, false hope, or emotional residue.
I walk forward in truth, in dignity, and in devotion to my peace.
I trust that love, when it’s real, will never require me to abandon myself.
Each time I begin to abandon my beautiful self,
God whispers, “It’s okay to peek at the past with fondness—just don’t romanticize the poetry. After all, it’s just another line on an empty page.”

Love and blessings always,

Wendy

Sunlight in the Rain – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

The difference between becoming overcome by our challenges and adversity, and rising above them, often comes down to one thing…

Resilience.

It is a skill that we build when we have ongoing opportunities to build resilience as we experience repeated challenge and adversity.

When we choose to step right into the storm…

we stretch, we grow, we rise.

Eventually, in most instances, we are able to “reframe” our pain so that we see the sunlight in the rain. 

We learn that both can exist…and that we can still bloom…even in the rain.

Ask yourself, “What challenge in my life helped me grow resilience, even if I didn’t recognize it at the time?” 

Think of a time when you felt overwhelmed by adversity. How did you respond in that moment…did you “respond,” or REACT? How did that experience shape the way you show up in your life today? In what ways did you demonstrate resilience, even if you didn’t feel strong at the time?

Love and blessings,

Wendy

A New Story Affirmation : Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

I walked through fire and burned down bridges.

And just when they thought my story was over…

the embers wrapped me in a sea of light,

connecting me to my inner strength and God’s love.

Together, we rose — above the ashes, the soot, the destruction.

We rebuilt.

What I have become, and continue to become,

is evolved, grateful, and fully awakened to a new story.

Ask yourself, 

“What small, soul-aligned step can you take today to rebuild with intention?”

Love and blessings,

Wendy

A Frozen Kiss – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

I write to release. 

I write when I feel inspired. 

I write when I feel sad or when I see an injustice. 

I write to connect with the reader who feels that nobody could possibly understand. 

Writing allows me to freely express my feelings and emotions which are cemented in my soul…a “frozen kiss” where a “moment of intense emotion is captured and preserved,” and where the warmth of feeling is paused in time, etched into the page…

one “Soul Note” at a time.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

Soul Notes

I Am Worthy – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044


Your need for rest, your healing body, your pain…none of these make you unworthy of love. 

They make you human. They make you someone who knows how to take care of herself, who listens to her body, who has fought to stay alive and thrive, even after being told not to. That’s incredible.

The man who deserves you will see your resting as wisdom, not weakness.
He will see your scars as proof of your courage, not as flaws.
And he will be honored…truly honored to walk beside someone who has survived so much with such grace and still chooses love.

Love and blessings,

Wendy

A New Love Journey – Love, Wendy

wendyblanchard044

I’ve spent years walking the sacred path of healing…mending wounds, reclaiming my worth, learning how to stand in my authenticity. 

I made peace with solitude. I made friends with silence. I elevated my mind to embrace new perspectives. 

I prayed not just for a partner, but for a love that felt like home.

Now, out of the stillness, my heart flutters with possibility, I stay grounded in discernment…and this time, I will not abandon myself for love.

The Universe has a rhythm. I feel like dancing again.

My broken heart has healed. I bring my whole self onto the open road of possibilities.

Has the beat of my heart finally synced with another heart eager to dance again?

To be continued…

Reflection Questions:

• What does love feel like when it’s safe?

• How can I honor both the excitement and the caution in this season?

• What have I learned about myself that prepares me to love in a new way?

Love and blessings,

Wendy
