ATTRIBUTES of AN EAGLE


AN EAGLE

Have you ever Considered the Attributes of An Eagle?

THEY ARE MASTER FLIERS
A Master flyer represents to me knowing when to Soar and when to Fly Higher to Rise Above the Storm


THEY FLY ALONE AND LIVE ON HIGHER GROUND
I would use the word "Leader" not a Follower, always Focused on reaching Higher Ground


EAGLES ARE EXTREMELY BOLD, COURAGEOUS, MAJESTIC AND POWERFUL
This speaks for itself!


EAGLES ARE VERY PATIENT
I see this as having Vision with a Destination in Sight, which includes a Quiet Wisdom of recognizing and knowing that Patience is a REQUIRED Attribute to Move Along the Journey.



From my heart to yours: 
Like the Eagle, we Find the Strength within, we Have Vision, we Seek Purpose, we Stay Focused on the Destination in Sight.  One area that I've had to learn and continually PRESS FORWARD in is to Get Going, Be a Doer, Be Consistent and CONTINUE to MOVE FORWARD.                                                                           


From my Perspective:
The Boats to turn back have been burned, there is no retreat, we go higher or we choose to retreat. Always a Choice

Does Gratitude Make Problems Disappear?!

Does Gratitude Make Problems Disappear?!

If only it was that simple...

When I share posts filled with images and words, it is intentional.  Sharing with a purpose.  I'm no different, the journey presents challenges, some days are heavier than others.  My truth is that I choose to take the "reigns" and I choose discipline on where my thoughts are going to travel, it's not magic and it doesn't happen instantly, it's an exercise.

It's an exercise...

The process is, I wake and I Thank God for a New Day and then I take time to feed my spirit which means "for me" reading the word, watching a podcast, reading a chapter from a favorite book, or reflecting on "I have a new day, which offers opportunity".  Opportunity to make a phone call to loved ones, mail cards with photos or words that mean something "to the recipient", not about me, about them.

Listening, not multi-tasking but listening when a loved one calls, or my sons are engaged in sharing something that is important to them, a post, a movie clip, a song, a thought who knows but a "discipline" to stop and engage, not while thinking on what needs to be done or while doing something else but making the effort "to stop" listen and engage.

​An Exercise

​Does Gratitude Make Problems Disappear?!

The journey is not magic, it requires effort, a discipline with emotions.  My theory is that if my anger, my rage, loudness could change those areas that are challenging in my life, then I would consider the effort, but I've traveled to many miles and know those areas are only distractions.  Distractions take away our focus and we can miss those priceless, precious memories that will remain with us for a lifetime.

Always a choice...

​Does Gratitude Make Problems Disappear?!

Problems, Challenges are just that, a moment that presents our attention.  Does anything take that away...probably not.  So the real question in my heart, it is not the problem, the challenge, the disappointment, the hurt that takes away a problem, it is my perspective that will determine how "I choose to confront it, how I choose to walk through it, how I choose to look at it, to look at it, to look at it but to now allow it to reside within"

Even if I table it, pray about it, reflect on it, the discipline is not to allow it to "reside within".  

I choose to Exercise, to Exercise Gratitude of what I possess "right now, in this single moment" that is my focus and if I can' appreciate that, I remind myself, I have life and someone was not afforded that this morning.

Gratitude is more than a word, it is an action

How can we have Gratitude this day
and
​Not get Stuck
in a Chapter along Life's Journey

This was inspired by the thought of a "Slippery Slope" these two words can so easily become the slope.  When I consider these words it implies that the simplest thing,
a mold hill,
can so easily become a mountain.



Life
Life
Life is such a precious, priceless commodity and every day has become an exercise to not take one moment for granted.  

Along my journey, I have found every defining moment becomes another precious stone, a lesson on what really matters along my journey.

My prayer is that you can find this precious stone called "Peace"
It will change your life forever #LivingInsideOut


​
Thank you for watching,
Thank you listening,
Thanking you for traveling this unfamiliar journey with me.  

When you know your Why. 
When you awaken to this precious commodity called "life" you no longer spend or invest energy on things that are "just noise" or "shiny objects" designed to Distract

When you become Eagle Eyed Focus, the gift is patience and to keep your eyes "daily" on what really matters

How can we have Gratitude this day
and
​not get started in a Chapter along Life's Journey

Why did I Blog Share That?!

One Thought should not define a Journey

This share started by this
"MGC" Mug that was shared on the previous share,
Take a Moment with Donyale

​As I was sharing this cup, I shared that it was not to make anyone feel obligated but instead to expose, to bring awareness that it is an Eagle call product.  

Then, I wondered Why?!
I felt the need to share ... "that it was not to make anyone feel obligated"
Why assume such a thing?!

Then it came to me, that the concern, the thought was that 'I'm selling" and that concern came from previous experience and or stories previously shared by others.



Wow,
consider the subtle expressions, words and conversations that trigger prior experiences and this really can be applied to so many areas in our life, most of us are in this Social Media Village, we connect and come together for many reasons and Yes, some of us have products or services attached to our brand, it is the resources that represent us in the marketplace,  It is the very thing that brings awareness to what we do



Why did I Blog Share That?!

​One Thought should not define a Journey


My Truth is to bring awareness to any and everything that represents this community, our community.  Helping Build Bridges Across, this community also has a brand that connects with purpose and for most of us there is a work, which will include many things "that represent that" and when we connect,
we wear, we share, we support the work




**The Point, everything shared can't be pre-wrapped, or presented
as if one size fits all, it is a space to just share any and everything and those who connect to that will move on that which moves the heart to and is led to do.


We all know, 
Everything will not resonate with everyone but it should be shared with everyone so that those who do connect will have awareness
it will not connect to everyone, no matter who we are, what we do, our experience,
our truth, our share will not resonate with everyone. 
Again, that is what makes our differences "beautiful"


​
Differences is a "beautiful" thing in my book, because we are different.  
Difference means we will have "momentary visits" and "chapters" and "seasons" that we share with some and then we have a check in visit with some from prior history,
or some present day that we will travel with for a season because
of a shared interests or a connection.
There will be some that we will connect
and travel together for a distance because we are traveling in the same direction.


​
There is not one way and that can be a beautiful thing 

#MakingGratitudeContagious was, is and always will be the intent 




​
Why did I Blog Share That?!

​One Thought should not define a Journey
My concern apparently was someone feeling obligated and I realized that as with anything shared, I can't control what someone else feels or assumes.  Right?!



My truth is that I'm working, I have a Pursuit, I'm working and tending a garden because I'm led to and that does require many hands, many voices to work with me.  We all play a part and I recognize that those connected to this village, some since Day 1, starting online in "2014" and it reminds me of a song", along this journey I've shared long enough that at this point most know my heart. 

The song that I'm thinking of is
"if you don't know me by now you will never know me"
by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes

My minor revision
If you don't know my intent now by the things that I've shared
you will never know me. 



My work is to share was is lodged within, this is my punch back to the evil that kicked down my door and I can't and will not apologize for building focused on that.

My heart is that you Get In Where You Fit In, there is nothing to small or too large.  I do have an Ask and this Garden needs work, some will be on the Front Lines with me, some will be on the side supporting the work, some will visit on occasion and any of
That is all Good and I"m very Grateful


There is nothing too small, there is nothing too large.  



The Ask

Is to simply do "What is Lodged in Your Heart to Do".  You are never obligated but my work is to Expose and to Make Aware on "How to Work this Garden"
here at Helping Build Bridges Across

Along this Journey, I'm accountable to My Why and to What my Heart leads me to do
This door is open, all are welcome, it is a Buffet Table find what can be asset to you
or someone you know and leave the rest behind
​

There is an Eagle Call...
My Ask is to Get in where your Heart Fits In

I recognize everything is not for everyone but I learned early...
You don't know what you don't know unless someone shares it with you

Why did I Blog Share That?!

​One Thought should not define a Journey

All are welcome but there is a call for Eagles
Eagles know that we use the Strong Winds to Rise Higher
Eagles know the work is not just what happened but how we can be a blessing
to someone else with it that matters

Eagle Hugs,
Donyale

Grow Where You Are Planted

Such beautiful words

While shopping, I came across this "tumbler" with these words printed on it, along with plants and flowers that just grabbed my attention and I knew it was a part of the journey, it would be what inspired this "Take a Moment"

Take a Moment
The image the words....started this share

Again,
Consider the depth of these very words
"Grow Where You Are Planted"

#MakingGratitudeContagious is always the intent

No One Said Easy...
Change for some is not easy to embrace, it's not comfortable, it's not familiar but it is a part of our Life's Journey

Change your Perspective, Change Your Life
Allows us to take the reigns of "our thoughts" and decide that we can not change most things

But we Can
But we Can

Decide what to do with it

Together we can decide to...

Grow Where We Are Planted
