Sing a Song
​

When your thoughts are racing

And 

You're Feeling Stressed it helps to Sing a Song
out loud or within
Our thoughts can be all over the place

But

The Song allows an opportunity to Tune Out the Noise
Bringing your thoughts back into Focus
Deciding where 'you' want them to go

FULFILLMENT for This Heart...


Is Sharing what has been located within and allowing the one who comes across this...


​For "the Heart" who finds this
Only you will be left to DECIDE what to do with it.



Please Know...
It is delivered with Love without Obligation
It is Shared and Intended to be An Asset
But
Every Heart who comes across it
Will 
Have to Decide what to do with it. 

Often Asked...

What did you do when Life Shifted?!
When Life Changed "In An Instant"




As a Woman of Faith
It did not remove the Pain
It did not provide any answers of "next steps"
It did not provide "what to do" now

​


Faith
Did not take me over, did not eliminate all of the uncertainty that Flooded In without permission
When Life Changed "In An Instant"

​

Faith
Didn't provide answers
Didn't whisper a warning of what a New Day would now
"Look Like"

Often Asked...

From that Crossroad

Looking Back and Reflecting

This Heart Realizes...


What I learned
What I experienced
Faith filled to that "moment"
A relationship with My Creator
Allowed this Heart...



To Just Let Go
To Just Surrender to the Day Before Me...
To Recognize that "this heart" was not in Control




Trusting God

Surrendering to my Faith
Trusting God

Trusting the Same God that I had known up until to that Present Moment



Trusting God
That met with me at the Crossroad
Of
When Life's Journey
Life's Plans
Had Changed 
In An Instant

Often Asked...

Choosing the Focus

Every Single Day
Every Single Day
Every Single Day



Exercising Gratitude


Choosing to Focus on What Really Matters
Choosing Intent for the Day before "this Heart"


From that Moment and Continuing 
Recognizing that "Change Happens"



Which Now Allows this Heart
To
Exercise Daily Loving On
Celebrating with
Reflecting and Appreciating




When Life Changes
It will be heart confronted
We have No Choice but to confront




But
Whatever it Is
And
As Time allows a Heart to Heal
At Least for This Heart
It will not be a Journey filled with Regret




This Road
This Heart Share is not about being Easy
And 
This Heart Chooses Not to Focus on Being Hard


This Heart is 
Not Providing Answers



This is a
Heart Share
A Heart Journey



One Day
One Step
Starting Each Day with Intent 

​

"Making Gratitude Contagious"
was, is and always will be the Intent

​
The road ahead is no longer "just about me"
​
​
Which

Fulfills this Heart beyond the "Words to Share"

"Making Gratitude Contagious"
​
Infecting as Many Hearts as Possible 

Every Day is Not Great...





This Heart 
Doesn't Share Answers

This Heart
Shares a Perspective from the "route" traveled




This Heart Agrees
Every Day is Not Great




From This Heart's View
That Means...



This Heart CHOOSES to "Take a Pause"
and
Then Considers
What Really does Matter?!




Taking a Moment
To Share 
That No One Said Easy
"Always a Choice"





Always a Choice

This Heart recognizes
That Life is not Continual

It is and always
Will be
Changing





With That being Known
This Heart then "chooses" 
​
To
Exercise Gratitude Daily
Never Mastered...Exercising





Life Always Offers a Choice Daily


And
Only We Can Decide 




What to Choose
and
How To Respond



Including


What We Do This Day


Consider...
No One Promised Us That Tomorrow
Will Look the Same as Today

What Can We Take with Us?!


What can we take from the road that we’ve traveled…

What can we carry and what can we utilize for this day
and
Pack for the Hopeful Road ahead



What Can We Take with Us?!

This heart dances with “what is” and that includes
what this heart has no control over
the changes,
the losses,
the seasons of what life delivers without permission
and
leaves this heart only with the choice
of
“how to respond”


The Village of Gratitude allows this heart to Share
these reflections
this Heart's Perspective
To Remind our hearts to Focus
Daily
On 
What Really Matters

and
To Exercise Daily in being Grateful 


Thank You
For the Hearts who are traveling this Journey with this Heart


For the hearts who join in dancing daily 
Being Grateful for a New Day


Even in the Midst
Even in What is Surrounding our life
Even in the Challenges that battle our Thoughts 

​

What Can We Take with Us?!

This Heart believes that when we allow our hearts to travel Grateful
It allows us
To 
Choose our Words
To Decide our Actions
To deliver Peaceful Silence
Which is not
A small thing

​

What Can We Take with Us?!

It allows us to Celebrate this day gifted to our lives
The celebration of life that comes wrapped in so many different ways
That is delivered into the lives of others in different varieties 


Celebration is dancing, laughter, peaceful silence, and saying out loud
those “beautiful” words that are dancing within our thoughts
without worrying or without concern of how they will be received or not.


The Heart's Fulfillment
discovered 
Taking the road traveled
and 
Sharing
A Heart's Buffet

​

What Can We Take with Us?!

Beautiful is being able to share the words of those we love that has
Transitioned
​before us…



How unique are those words, those moments, those memories to carry into the day
we have and for the hopeful road ahead



For this Heart, my loved ones who have transitioned “was here” and I enjoy when applicable and in the context of moments sharing the words that bring laughter, that offer wisdom to consider, to carry packed for the hopeful road ahead.


They were here… this heart doesn’t lose sight of that, those hearts travel with this heart and will always be tattooed on this heart. 



For this Heart
Choosing what really matters



This Heart filled with Faith has a life beyond a body that is left but has the departure of a spirit that lives on, travels on, and will leave behind, at least for this Heart,
The Power of Love

What can we take with Us?!


Dear Friend,
From this Heart to your Heart…

​
Throwing the ball to your heart
to allow you to decide, to reflect, to consider the words shared




What can we take with Us?!

From 
The Road traveled
From the Experiences
From those who have transitioned forward leaving behind 
Moments filled with Words

This Heart doesn’t share answers
This Heart shares a perspective


​This Heart invites “your heart” to decide what to do 
with this Heart Buffet



Hugs,
Donyale 

​

Thank you for being here, for listening, for sharing, their is not enough words to express this heart's Gratitude.


Thank you for the Hearts asking how they can do more...
Simply, "get in where your heart fits" 


Planting Seeds of Gratitude

Consider,
We all have the option
To approach even those things we've done before
Treating those moments as an experience

As a coffee drinker
Taking time for reflection while drinking
Setting Intent for the day before this Heart
All of which is An Experience 

Is the door unlocked?!

My reflection is in this zone…

When you’re life travels through tragic waters…

Especially in the “freshness” of something happening, that is unimaginable, that takes your breath away, that throws you into a Fog without warning
​
That for some functioning because of…
 While living in the numbness, crawling, working through the pain and tears

Is the door unlocked?!
​
This is being shared for the hearts in the midst of the Freshness
And 
Including the hearts who are seeing the light out of a dark room

This is being shared for the hearts who are on the other side of healing
But walking with tattooed hearts on the road forward…

Is the door unlocked?!

This is shared for the Hearts of Faith
As a woman of Faith, I’ve been taught that it rains on the Just and the Unjust

No one has an “exemption” from challenging places
And 
This heart understands and knows that to be a truth

This heart knows firsthand about Mountains and Valleys

But…

Is the door unlocked?!


When a tragic moment happens…
It comes in with an agenda?

My reflection considers 
That when something tragic, unimaginable, or challenging happens or is happening, it comes with the toolbox of “Is the door Unlocked?!”


When this or that happens
It brings the thoughts of being vulnerable
It is designed in this heart’s opinion
To rob the living heart of Peace
Of Possibility
Of constantly checking doors that surround your life

Is the door unlocked?!
​
Can this happen to those who surround your life
Is this possible
Why this or Why That



This Heart is sharing that as a woman of Faith
The surrender of life’s journey is that we don’t possess the Key
We don’t determine the path
We don’t decide the roadmap
We can’t control the when and why

For Hearts of Faith
We Trust God or we don’t
We share our pain with the one who Created Us
We ask, we have the hard conversations for the one who knows the Heart
Who knows the road behind
Who holds the route for the path ahead

Is the door unlocked?!

In the midst of not knowing Why
From a Heart that is filling up with tattoos 
Allow me to share
I decided that my Rest is in my Creator
And
While I walk doing the best I can in the decisions made daily
This heart no longer checks doors that I have no keys to


What does this Heart Have
This Heart 
Has being Grateful and doing all the special offered to this heart
On this New Day Gifted to this Heart

Is the door unlocked?!

Until Next Time
From my Heart to Yours
The invitation is to not worry about all the weeds that may surround us
The work is to continue to plant the Gratitude Seeds that we can
Allow the work of planting seeds that have the potential to Grow
To overtake the weeds that always will be there


Choosing the View
Trusting in the God that this Heart has walked a few miles with now
Choosing to Live, to Love to fill the room with Laughter
Every chance this heart afforded

Is the door unlocked?!

Thank you for listening
Thank you for being here

Thank you for Heart Traveling this Journey with this Heart

"Live Heart Inspired" by Yvette "Donyale

The Sun is Rising
​
Can you see it?!

This heart awakened to the thought this day about how tragic moments, challenging moments, the journey of those hearts who are currently walking through concerns or circumstances that bear weight on the hopeful road ahead, that robs joy for the present-day gifted. That offers the agenda of anxiety or thoughts of defeat, all of which are out to Rob the gift called this day. 

The Sun is Rising
​
Can you see it?!

I don’t know if you’ve had the opportunity to see a Sun Rise, the Sunset, or maybe both…It is such a beautiful experience.  For this Heart, it embodies that Beautiful is a Language; from just this alone, it speaks volumes of what a New Day offers as it begins and as it comes to a close.

The Sun is Rising
​
Can you see it?!

In considering the road heart traveled to the present day…

The tearful moments, tragic moments, and disappointing or challenging seasons in many ways allowed this heart to see the Sun Rising, to appreciate the Sunsetting, and recognize all that encompasses a new day. 

All that is offered as an opportunity to love on those who surround this heart’s life and the privilege to offer a smile to the hearts of strangers by sharing the heart, sharing images, words, audio, video, by just a passing smile along the road traveled in the marketplace, offering peaceful moments. Being mindful, where patience is needed, offering no judgment zones, for this heart, is fulfilling for reasons of my own and is a gift to the heart who receives it as a potential Gratitude seed that offers an opportunity to grow within, an opportunity for the heart who receives and then chooses to pass it forward.


This is Making Gratitude Contagious, this exercise offers personal fulfillment, this work allows potential seeds to grow and to share. Thank you to the hearts who have traveled a distance now with this heart, who together we live daily “infecting” as many hearts with Gratitude as possible. 

The Sun is Rising
​
Can you see it?!

Reflecting that maybe the smile to a stranger offers more than the heart that gives it away will ever know.  Grateful to be Grateful offers gifts to the hearts of others. 


This heart sees…
The faces of other hearts, some that have joyful smiles, embody laughter and joy.


This heart sees…
The troubled faces, the concerns and worries that show up on the face, and or are shared by the words spoken allowing the heart to vocalize with other hearts, releasing the stress of what is trying to remain hidden within. 

The Sun is Rising
​
Can you see it?!

This share is why living Grateful, and exercising Gratitude daily is vital, for this heart embraces allowing the heart to reflect on the road behind, to consider the hopeful road ahead and that includes the priceless treasure of being alert, being aware of this New Day gifted and being alert to what that means.  


This Gratitude Awareness is not just pretty words being shared.   

This heart knows “firsthand” that Gratitude Robs Regret and living and exercising in that allowed after the healing from painful places not to be left with Regret. 

The Sun is Rising
​
Can you see it?!

Exercising Gratitude
Allows every moment that is offered, a heart opportunity that allows a choice, a decision, to operate from love, from a peaceful place.  


Gratitude is empowering 



This heart is not sharing Easy 
And
Chooses not to focus on being hard


This heart has found fulfillment in bringing awareness
In reminding Your Heart that nothing remains the same


No matter where you reside, the season, the mountaintop, it is not a moment you can lock down, that you can possess, that you can repeat.



No one promised Us that tomorrow
will look the same as Today



Words that for this Heart Matters


Consider,
When we string moments daily of living Grateful
It changes our conversation
It allows laughter to flow throughout
It welcomes Gratitude as the salutation
Hugs become the norm


"Love You"
become warm words as a departure in any given moment

The Sun is Rising
Can you see it?!

The door is always opened

If you "prefer" to listen to the podcast... "Gratitude is NOT "either-or"

Allow this Heart to Remind "you" 
Not sharing answers, sharing a perspective
From the road traveled to this day
 
 
For this Heart,
it is an Exercise "daily" from a Heart that knows "Gratitude Robs Regret"
 
 

When some Hearts share a...
Word
Phrase
Theme
"For Some, It is not with the intention of "one size fits all"
For this Heart...
It is a "heart buffet" to allow your heart to sample, consider
 
 


From a Heart who is not guessing
Sharing from one who knows "firsthand"
Gratitude allows you to Rob Regret



Dear Friend, 
Please "hear this heart"
It is not a "pass" from what life delivers...
Moments that will bring Grief, Tears, Challenging Moments
But
It will allow “in the process” of Healing to not be left with Regret
 



For the Hearts...
Who are suffering present day “with regret”
The next step is to get the Help your heart needs
Don't live with what you can't change....



Please, 
Do the work to live releasing those things
The work with help if that is what is needed
Not tomorrow…Today

 


Gratitude is NOT an "Either-Or

Thank you for sharing this "heart journey"



"Making Gratitude Contagious"
infecting as many hearts as possible
is the only option
For This Heart. ​

What is your View?!

This heart shares what is lodged within...


This thought has been weighted
Which for this Heart means...it has to be released
and
When that is the flow
Allow me to say
Before this Heart continues...


"Everything is not for Everyone"



This is for the Heart who has landed here
For the Heart who is listening
For the Heart who was asking
For the Heart who knows what just....

We all get moments
We all get chances
Opportunities

Sitting atop the Mountain...The View really is so Beautiful
What a Wonderful Season
Such Beautiful Moments
The Season where all things are flowing in the right direction

​"Mountain View Reflection"

As this Heart Share comes to a Close
Allow This Heart to ask...



Asking Your Heart to Consider
Taking a Moment to Reflect on the Road Traveled
The Decisions that You Have Made
and
The Opportunities that Moments Presented






Consider
"If and When Things Change"




Nothing Remains the Same
No Matter
No Matter
Where you currently Reside




We Don't Own Space...We Only Occupy
This Heart considers we have Moments that we can Embrace
We Have Moments that ask us to make decisions
Every Single Day




For Some Hearts
We Measure the Cost 
Of
What
Those Decisions can potentially mean




For Some Hearts
We Live with the Understanding
That

"No One Promised Us Tomorrow Will Look the Same as Today"

Did Someone Say Easy?!




This Heart doesn't share Easy

Peace Within...
Calmness allows an opportunity to consider your options

Who Is in the Room...Who is Looking?!

A great question for "your" Heart...

A very easy Reflection


Do You Give
Do You Do 
To Show

or

To Just Give
To Just Do


Consider,
What Really is Your Heart Intent?!


Allow this Heart to Share...
Applause will always be Temporary
The Same who will Applaud You
Will be the Same
That Will Critique You 


In Fact...
A Special Delivery to the Heart who cares
The very people "you" invest so much time into 
Always Concerned on what they Think



Consider,
Most would not cross the street for "you"
Would not "really" be there for you when and if needed

​Who Is in the Room...Who is Looking?!

This Is A Heart Share...
For those Hearts who never considered...


Who are you really living for...
Is the Focus
Who is in the room?
Who is looking?



A Heart Share
Sharing words that were lodged within to be released to the Heart who...
Never really asked the reason behind Why
Never considered 



Not Sharing Answers
Always Sharing a Perspective 
Sharing Words to Consider

Who never considered really considered

Who Is in the Room...Who is Looking?!

Have you seen...

"A New Day..."

Be On Alert…There is a “terrorist” on the prowl

Heart Sharing for “awareness”


There is a “terrorist” that prowls around looking to build on the fears that are usually heart associated with “what if this or what if that…”


The alert is showing that the Terrorist’s “covert operation” is focused on “our thoughts” Please be on notice, this is not a small thing to “heart share”


When you go through a Tragic, Dark moment
When you have or are currently walking through a challenging time
When plans or a blueprint has been torn up for the road ahead

These are covert operations of this prowler

Why?!


First…allow this heart to be clear
Not Sharing answers
Sharing a Perspective 


There are “familiar” sounds, memories of when something happened in our life, along the road traveled and this includes the story of someone else that we may know, it creates vulnerability, it allows familiar things to create a present-day story, a potential story…that has no foundation “but” is very familiar to the road behind us. 

And


The Thought Terrorist knows…
With these “familiarities” 
The heart will wrestle with…what if this is what if that?! 
The hope will be battling will this time be different
The question persists can this happen like the last time…
The Heart’s Peace within is trying very hard to maintain

​Be On Alert…There is a “terrorist” on the prowl

My Dear Friend,
This is not leading to Answers
From a Heart that leans on and exercises daily on Faith
This Heart’s Faith is not dependent on religious rituals
This Heart exercise from the “familiar relationship” of my Creator
This Heart draws from that time before 
When
How
God walked me through difficult places
Reminds me that this heart can’t see over the Mountain
This Heart does not know the “full plan” of where puzzling pieces are being placed. 
Firsthand experience of Peace beyond knowing how to share it
Experience of God’s Grace and Mercy that words
That words can’t really express

Not sharing to convince or to persuade
Sharing what this Heart Exercises daily



The Focus creates the View
This share is not about being Easy
And 
It is not centered on being Hard

Be On Alert…There is a “terrorist” on the prowl

Instead
It is sharing 
The Exercise of what we choose to Focus on
Focus determines our view
Focus can build upon Peace within
Or 
Focus can allow our thoughts to Race with Fear

Your Focus
My Focus
Our Focus that “we choose daily” matters
It is what reminds, builds upon, and allows us to View the day before us Including the Hopeful Road Ahead


Focus allows us to appreciate, to be grateful for what we have 
And 
Just to remain in that place, exercising being grateful 



The Focus will determine the View
This Heart has not mastered things shared


Dear Friend, that is why it is a reminder for the Heart
Focus Matters
Exercising Gratitude Matters


This Thought Terrorist is prowling around to steal our peace, to overwhelm our thoughts

But

In Those Moments 
If we’ve been exercising
Our Reflex will go into overdrive
And
We will draw on ‘what matters’
Instead of the rabbit hole of being focused on “what if..”


We choose our Focus
We continue our Daily Exercise
Choosing “what really matters”


We all are given a daily choice
To choose to Worry and to Swim in the waters of Fear
Or
We can exercise Living Inside Out
Building upon our Peace
Exercise that becomes our reflex


The only Result from the View of what this Heart Can see
Is that whatever is on the Road before Me…will be there
But
This Heart draws on the “relationship” my Creator has Shown Me
This is a Walk
A Relationship
And
Every Single Day
This Heart Chooses the View of “what really heart matters’



This Heart has decided
That the choice made will
Will show up in Every Conversation
Will show up in Every Action 



This Heart will choose
To Dance
To Laugh
To Love
For Every God-Given Moment afforded to this Heart


Moments Matter
Gratitude Matters
From a Heart that Knows
Every Moment offers “each of us” an opportunity to…

​
To Embrace It
To Make Every Moment Count

​Be On Alert…There is a “terrorist” on the prowl

Not Sharing Answers…if only I had them?!
Sharing
A Heart Perspective
From this Heart…


The Secret I’ve located
Is to choose to take the Reigns and “Make Every Moment Matter”



When not If 
Anxiety, Anger, Irritation, or Frustration “knock”
Take a Pause
Get Your Oxygen…
Then
Continue Forward


Don’t allow the Terrorist to “steal your focus”
Adding Such Pressure
That you join in the party of  ‘terrorizing” even those who surround your life


In closing,


Dear Heart,
Please Remember, this Heart doesn’t share answers
This Heart “just knows”
That life can change “In An Instant”
A Heart exercise, that chooses to do something with that information 
And
My Heart just hopes that ‘your heart’
Can
Become Aware, become alert to this Truth


From a Heart that knows Firsthand
And
Works every single day “exercising Gratitude"
Whether ‘easy or not’
I promise you…
Gratitude Robs Regret

Hugs,
Donyale

For the Hearts who "at any cost" has a destination in sight
From a Heart Share
Who is not providing "answers"
This share is  "words" to consider for your journey



Wherever you land..
Including "if" it's that place that you envision



Please be mindful, 
You will celebrate and you should, if your hard work landed you there
You deserve to enjoy "every moment" of it...



The Share...
Just Measure the cost along the process
Wherever you land which really in the scheme of things will be a  "visit"
You will not "possess" that moment forever



The Share...
Life changes...
Take Time to Intentionally enjoy the "moments"
Always aware of the cost, always "measuring the cost"
Of 
The Price you're willing to pay in "those moments"
Of
The Choices "you" will make, that you will choose along the way
The choices are located in "words, time and actions" 



Measure the cost before...



Please know "before...if that or this happens"
Know the price "you're willing" to pay "especially" in those moments
This should NEVER BE DECIDED by...
Those who surround your life...This is and always should be "YOU"
Before. . .Wherever. . .Whenever. . .


​
As the hopeful road continues
Wherever "you" Temporarily Reside
Wherever...
Your Heart Lands in every single moment..."YOU" will always be there


That "really" Heart Matters
NOT
An Answer, a Share from a Heart who knows Firsthand
That 
GRATITUDE always Robs Regret


​
Love Matters...

You can't outrun Yourself


​Hugs,

Thoughts can lead a heart to...

What a dance…Thoughts

No matter who we are, where we are, or what we are hoping for, we all engage daily, in a dance with our thoughts

Every single day, we walk out, our day with Thoughts

This is why it is vital for “this heart” to exercise daily walking in my Faith, taking intentional time in devotion, being still, and being intentional.  This foundation has allowed and allows “this heart” to be reminded, to learn more, and to rest more in my Faith.  A daily exercise that allows this heart to have “oxygen” to start the day “intentional” hopeful and girded for  the day before this heart. ​

Thoughts can lead a heart to...


Thoughts allow our hearts to “locate peace, to locate beautiful” within a new day,  to “Rest” in being Grateful for just being able to Inhale, to Exhale, to appreciate those who surround our life this day in thought, and including moments shared from reaching out to. 

Thoughts knock on our hearts throughout our day…

When Hearts prepare Intentionally to start and close out a day, it allows us to be aware and to know what thoughts to open the door to and what to intentionally ignore, disregard, and continue forward.


This heart has shared and will continue to share…
Not sharing easy and not focused on it being hard
Not sharing answers, sharing a Heart Perspective from the road traveled until sharing in this “moment” with you


A Heart Buffet…
Take what can be an asset
And 
Simply leave the rest behind
If your heart does not resonate with this village
It is okay to agree to disagree 
And
This Heart sends “continued best” for the road before you..

Thoughts can lead a heart to...

Bring gifts of peaceful silence
To be engaged in a space, in a conversation, in a room, and to be open to flow filling it with love, with laughter


This heart recognizes
Many words, phrases, and images can be repetitive and so easily overlooked and taken for granted. 


This heart instead “intentionally lives” knowing what precious moments mean. Every single moment, every conversation, text, email, letter, event, or gathering offers us all a MOMENT that WILL become a MEMORY

Not Maybe…
A Fact, A Truth


This Heart instead chooses to live every single moment “very alert” to that and including those moments, places, where there are no words, there is nothing to add, and no reason to respond…whatever a moment offers, this heart will not intentionally be an added weight, will choose to be alert to the words being used and actions that are taken, to intentionally live with the awareness that in the scheme of things “what really matters” including and especially when the same courtesy is not offered back this way, to this heart. ​

Thoughts can lead a heart to...


To Consider
To Exercise 
What Really Matters…Every Single Day
This Heart recognizes this may never be mastered but the focus remains the same, is to “exercise, exercise, exercise” being Grateful for “what is”

To Intentionally Love on those who surround my life this day, those I encounter, and even those I don’t know sharing “what I can” when I can, even a smile can be an asset to another heart.


From my Heart to the Heart who is engaged in This Moment…

Dear Friend
Moments Matter
From a Heart who knows I promise you the journey “will include Valleys, low, disappointing, very sad moments” and “Mountains, peaceful, joyful beyond measure moments”  


Both will leave our Hearts Tattoed and we want to reflect on what we added to those memories and not subtracted from those moments. 

Thoughts can lead a heart to...

For the Heart who hears this and maybe wrestling with what was
Get the Help that you need from a local church, a therapist that comes with recommendations but don’t allow another day to be stolen with what can’t be changed

For those who have never considered the value of a New Day
Now you have been made aware and it is “your choice” to Exercise Being Grateful “to add” to every day, moment afforded to your heart.
To Live Intentionally as “an asset” and not “a liability”
Always a choice. 


Life is continual…It will always change



From a Heart that knows Firsthand 
Starting from a very young heart
That Love really does matter 
And 
Exercising Gratitude will Rob Regret


Not sharing what I think
Sharing what this Heart has learned and Knows Firsthand


Thank You God for this Moment
Thank You for an Opportunity to just Share a Moment
To Just Share this Heart’s Buffet


Grateful for more than words know how to express
With a hopeful heart that it is an asset to the heart that is listening

Reflecting on the Day afforded to this Heart 


"Time Matters"
Each new day afforded reminds this heart of this priceless commodity
and

Decisions...What Will our Heart Decide?!


We are and always will be presented with Decisions


Consider, 

That our "Heart Decisions" can determine the next step,
in where our road will lead,
Not just in our lives,
But "for some"
will include the lives that surround us. 



This Heart is...
Not providing answers
or
Providing questions for you to decide in this moment



This Heart Share
Is
Choosing
To Take a Pause
To Take a Moment that allows "This Heart"
and
Offers An Invitation
To "Your Heart"
to Consider...
Our Decisions



Why...
Allowing a moment, a pause to Decide
What Really Matters
Can Cost Us
Can Determine
The next steps along our Journey



Decisions...What Will our Heart Decide?!



Sharing to Consider...
Measuring the Cost of every Decision that "our heart will decide"
By 
Allowing a Pause
Allowing a Moment
To Measure the Cost of those "little or big" decisions that our Heart will Make
Measuring the Cost of what they can potentially mean along this Journey



Again...
Decisions...What Will our Heart Decide?!
In the small things
In the large things



Whatever it is...
A Decision will be the next step
Will determine where the road will lead



This Heart does not Share Answers
Instead
Shares a Heart Perspective
From the Road Traveled



An Invitation
For Your Heart to Decide
With
This Heart

What Really Matters...
What Really Matters in every Decision that is and will be Made

Out of the Heart Flows...

What a difference a day can make. 

This Heart, was recently reminded on how vital it is to "Guard our Heart" it really matters. 

What does it mean to Guard our Heart?!

This Heart doesn't share answers, it shares a Perspective.  This Heart Buffet, puts words on the table, and your heart can decide what to receive, what to consider. . .



Out of the Heart Flows...

We often speak out of the abundance of our heart.  The  abundance that flows out, comes from what is within.  What is within comes from what we allow, by the things that we watch, the things that we listen to, that we read.

Those are the places that are allowed within the Gate of our Heart.




Out of the Heart Flows...

This past week and really a few times this past year, that has been some major stories associated with bad behavior, crossing personal space boundaries, court cases that grabbed my attention.  In many ways, like you, I don't live in a box, and I'm connected to major stories that grab headlines, which is usually for this Heart, moments of engagement, of just viewing and moving on. 

For this Heart, it wasn't the Headlines, or the Court Case clips, the issue for me came when the "rabbit hole" opened up and the Algorithm brought more feeds from numerous places, to view.  This Heart, accepted the invitation, opened the Heart's gate, continuing to watch and find new feed, most of this was negative feed, or negative commentary, venomous comments which included a lot of  He Said, She Said.  Old clips of stories past associated to those involved in these current stories.  Just Toxic. 

In this viewing journey, that really began as more of entertainment, of observation of the messiness that other lives can so easily become entangled into, it subtly became more engaging, including the many conversations from various sources sharing perspective which was not always healthy. 




Out of the Heart Flows...


This Heart, found that more toxic was flowing in, and less of what really matters was not being exercised.  It showed in up in subtle ways by personal words, minor actions, irritations, negative comments, or minor debates, just not a peaceful Heart.  

The Heart Alarm, went off and I'm very grateful.  It allowed me to become aware it was time to shut it all off, to return to my daily Heart Gratitude Exercise, my daily devotion of my Faith Exercising to Focus, to continue to build upon "Peace Within".  

This Heart wanted to share with "you" immediately, once I recognized "the subtlety" the 'minor distraction", the rabbit hole that runs as deep as you allow your Heart to Travel.

To make you aware, in case your heart has become weighted, or easily irritated over the simplest things that really don't matter.   

We don't live in a box, but we can be "Heart Alert" to what we connect with, what we observe, view, listen to, how much of it.  We can be aware of what is around us, but we need to be mindful of where that leads, and how much engagement is necessary, in any given area, and if at all.



Out of the Heart Flows...

Out of the Abundance of the Heart, the mouth speaks...

What was flowing from my mouth, required a Heart Check, and regaining my Focus, Bracing, Taking Captive my Thoughts and Casting Down Wild Imaginations.  

Let's be mindful 'out the abundance of the Heart' the Mouth Speaks.  The Abundance is what we are allowing to flow "within".  

It is the Subtleties, the small Distractions that can so easily Rob the Heart's Focus of What Really Matters.  

Out of the Heart Flows...

A New Day, a New Opportunity. . . to Live Heart Inspired.

Hugs,
​Donyale

A Daily Exercise...
​What is My Heart Focus?!

We have to choose our Mental Health Exercise. . .
"Daily"

We Exercise choosing the Thoughts that we choose to allow to travel alongside with us...
To Entertain
To Adopt
To Believe
To Receive for this day, for this or any moment "gifted" to us

​A Daily Exercise...
​What is My Heart Focus?!

Gratitude is not a small thing
It is not a play on words, or some kind of Heart game

"Many Hearts already live and know the Truth of these Words"

Exercising Gratitude
Is a Mental Awareness
of 
"What Really Heart Matters"



Gratitude will decide
If we will live fully in this day "gifted" to us
"We were never promised that Tomorrow will Look the Same as Today"
Exercising Gratitude
will. . .

Set us up for Heart Fulfillment
Moments that will be Become Priceless Memories

or 

Set Us Up for Regret
Better choices that we could have made by the "words or actions" 
That 
We Chose to Take or Not

Always a Daily,
​Heart Moment's Choice
​

​A Daily Exercise...
​What is My Heart Focus?!

Our Heart Focus
Is Intentional


We Exercise Gratitude "This Day"
With the Intent
The Plans
To Do the Same
"Tomorrow"


It's not a small thing
to decide daily
What we will allow
The Whispers, the Subtleties 
That Visit of
Negative or Defeating Thoughts
Not a Game
Real Deal
We have to be ALERT
We have to be aware
Of
What is Allowed "Within" 


Words are not Magic
If defeated, negative days visit MORE "than" Exercising Grateful Days
And
They are continuing to Multiply
STOP right here and...
Find the Help that Your Heart Needs
That is more important than just reading words of Encouragement
