What "Noise" has your intention?!

Maybe, it's just me but when you have traveled a "few miles" along Life's Journey with many Hills and Valleys, at some point you weigh out what surrounds you. You weigh out what is really important for the remainder of life's journey ahead?!

What really deserves my attention?

​What "noise" is worth investing "precious time" into?

When "someone" when anyone "speaks", I always consider the "agenda", the "Intent".  I've considered at this season along my journey, it's the road ahead of me, ahead of my children and for generations that matters.  What matters is taking the injustice, the pain and making it multiply to be a blessing in as many lives as possible.  That is the noise that brings my heart fulfillment.  

"Beyond my Doorstep"

What "Noise" has your attention?!

​I've learned that "No One Promised Me that My Tomorrow will look the same as Today", now that I've learned that I've decided the noise that I will listen to.  

Time is a priceless commodity...

I've decided "No One" but me from this point forward will decide how I will spend it.

Helping Build Bridges Across has an open door...

This community started and is a "buffet table" take what can be an asset for your journey and leave the rest behind.  

If you remember nothing else along your visit here...is to consider that "Life is Short" and "only you, I, we" can decide what is really precious this day and days ahead. 

Calm is a Superpower

Consider calmness
It's like holding the Reigns of a Horse
Taking hold of what you're confronted with 
Allowing that "Peace Within" to Reign
Allowing the Calmness to determine the Reaction, the Decison, the Direction


Calmness allows us to see Solutions
Calmness allows options 
Calmness allows Taking a Pause
Calmness decides what will be dwelt with and How
​
Calmness is a Superpower

An Open Door "doesn't mean" you Just Walk-Through

An Open Door "shouldn't mean"...

An Open Door "shouldn't mean",  doesn't mean, that you just walk-through

It really is a very serious statement...
"For some" we just run, we just walk-through because "they", because "someone" said so.  We have a history in our Country of "just doing" and with a weighted heart, I believe some just never stopped to consider...until it was to late and there was no point of return.  

Decisions are not just for "kids" on the playground, or the high school teenagers concerned about the "click" they are associated with. **Side Note: Let's not forget what our youth looked like, that can be a gift,. when having a conversation with our youth, that conversation can come from an experience and not from judgement or with threats.  Just a side note to consider. 

This is for "You" the Adult who may have never considered "Why do I", what is "My Truth", what am I willing to live on, recognizing, being aware, being alert that "In An Instant" whatever that is, I will "die on" that truth.  Now listen; Death is a part of our journey and here at HBBA aka Helping Build Bridges Across,  I like to put it on the table because for some "we live" with no regard of others or the consequences that we may face, we choose to Do whatever we do no matter who it hurts.  We say what we want based on our personal agenda, based on our own pain and so be it.  

There are some who Speak Boldly, who Speak as a Group, who Speak with an Agenda and the reason for this post is for "you", is for "you", is for "you"  the one who may have considered that or may not be aware of that. 

You really "don't know" what you don't know.  

Some just need the power of "followers" not thinkers.  Some just need "drifters" not drivers. Some just need, when they say "Go" you just run. Let's put it on the table to just consider those words.  Let's take a pause to consider, just these words. 

Not providing Answers, this is a Perspective.
Even If I'm riding close to home, riding close to your heart,  it is still a moment to consider.  What do you allow inside? Are you a driver or a drifter?! Again, it is Your Life, your journey and let's face it, only "you" can decide.   
​

​An Open Door "doesn't mean" you Just Walk-Through

​
Donyale, it's called Freedom to do whatever I choose to do, remember?!...

Yes, that is very true and I'm grateful for the freedoms of "whatever we choose" to do, recognizing many countries don't live with that option. But who is driving "you"?! since we're on topic.  We can do whatever we choose, this is for those who never considered or who never consider "the consequences" attached to that "whatever" you want to. 

Allow me to share a little deeper,  I believe in Freedom, I believe in Choices but I believe it should be from having the full deck of cards on the table, so that you, that I, that we are allowed to Measure the Cost, we are allowed to decide from the full blueprint. "What is True?" and from that a decision can be made. 

At least if nothing else, with the full deck on the table, we were provided the information to decide. Whatever the decision, we had the all of the information to decide. 

​We are now a part of an "unprecendented" moment in our history that for "some" of us we will never experience this type of moment "again" in our lifetime. 

What is comfortable for you? What is important to you? What is the cost of that?

An Open Door "doesn't mean" you Just Walk-Through

We have to "Measure the Cost" of our decisions. We should consider making the decisions that "we are" willing to live with, not just by what they say. Our lives are more than a moment, we have generations to consider again "for some". 

As a woman of Faith, no matter the topic, I still weigh the cost that is best for me. If I'm not comfortable, I don't care if the whole team is running in that direction, If I'm not comfortable, If I don't have "Peace Within" I'm not moving in that direction.  Everything is not for everyone and maybe "that group" has peace about that decision, but Measuring the Cost, means I have to "Have Peace".  I have to do my diligence, I have to search my truth, my heart,  I have to "live" on the Truth that I'm willing to die on.  Just My Truth.  That is Not measured by an organization, a group, a team, a community, it is measured by my diligence, by the information I have, by my truth. 

Listen, I really get the joy of being connected with a team, a group, an organization, with  friends who you really share the same vibe with and your beliefs are similiar and you enjoy the conversation, the times together are memorable.  I get it!

An Open Door "doesn't mean" you Just Walk-Through

At some point along our life's journey, we have to consider that being connected in "one area" doesn't mean we connect in every single area.  We have to measure the cost of our decisions, of what is important to us. What is important to the lives that "we may" be responsible for.  

"No One Said Easy" and now that we know that
We choose to
Not Lose our Voice
Not Lose our Decision of What is Best For Me and for those I'm responsible for

Sadly, I know firsthand, that so many are so "torn down" emotionally that they no longer have a voice and they live off of what "they say".  My prayers, my thoughts are always with those who I personally know and observe live this way.  So I don't speak from a distance, I speak to those hearts who may have a chance to hear me.  Please now Your Why, Please Know Your Own Truth.  

An Open Door "doesn't mean" you Just Walk-Through

Whatever that is or those decisions will be...
So Be it
At least You Measured the Cost
At Least You Weighed the Cost of what is best for you

You decided and You are Willing to Live with the Decision
I respect that and so be it

An Open Door "doesn't mean" you Just Walk-Through

I promise you "many, many stories" are filled with "if only I had considered..." and "if only I had measured the cost".  

Here at Helping Build Bridges Across we don't get stuck in the "what If" but we take accountability to decide "today" , we are awaken to "we decide" 

We can't change yesterday and I don't believe in carrying that weight but I do say that how the book starts is not how the book has to end, write the pages that you can write, weigh the cost of present day.  Keep your focus and Continue Forward. 


An Open Door "doesn't mean" you Just Walk-Through
​
Thank you for being here.  Thank you for joining in the work of Planting Seeds of Gratitude by answering my Eagle Call.  Please Get in where "you" fit in. 

The door is always open, we may not share the same perspective, the same belief but we start the conversation, the connection from the foundation of... 
"Love Always Wins"

I Am So Angry!

I have a list of things to be angry about and I'm sure if you considered the disappointments, the challenges, the world climate, I'm sure you have a list of your own.

I understand "firsthand" the "emotion" and I've heard numerous stories that I really do understand the "why" someone is angry. 

This share, this post does not center on the list, of why.  Like most, my choice is in the "midst" of most things, I have to continue forward, I have to make decisions, I have to continue the journey so when it's time to invest the energy into anything, I need to know the target, the mission, the intent, I need to know we are working on a solution, a plan that "creates change" that is a part of being the change.

It's so easy to gather together to gripe, to complain, to vent, to be disgusted, irritated, frustrated and angry and after we have spent this amount of "energy" what has changed?! We've all had the conversations of...we really should?!, let's do this or let's do that.  Then what happens, what is done, what is started or completed?!

So where is the Plan, where is the change, who has the Power.  Angry while felt and should be released, it should be vented in a healthy way but it comes a time that "an effort" is necessary to "Make a difference", to build on "Change" and that comes in all kinds of versions.  Effort, Energy in making a change is not measured by size, it is measured by effort, by focus, by doing "what we can do".  Again, "what we can do" and not focused on why we can't. 

I Am So Angry!

I can appreciate Anger but at some point, what is changed by it?!

I would argue that in some cases, Anger can be a distraction, while some are enraged (valid reasons or not) while some are screaming and letting their point be known, talking over others, some are allowing the anger to act out, breaking something, turning things over, fighting in some cases but what does that change?! 

I would like us to consider that Anger in some cases are just a distraction, it allows us at times to be distracted...to look, to be mesmirezed by a moment that is just a gaze, nothing happens, nothing changes. 

I Am So Angry!

I Am So Angry!

Consider, taking the Pain, the Hurt, the Anger and doing something with it .
Make the Pain Pay Dividends "by doing" something that Multiplies, that regenerates, that
is translated as "Change" that you want to see in your Community, in your neighborhood and if it needs to start in your home...be the example, do what you can do.  It's Not Just Mountains - it's Moments.  Doing what you can right in the middle of where you are. 

I Am So Angry!

Do you realize the power of One?!

Take the Anger, use that energy, to become a "doer", not Someday, right now, Today.  It can start with your conversation.  It can start with your truth by saying "I Am Angry but I decided to take my anger and to do this or that..."

I Am So Angry!!

Allows you to become alert

While "some are angry"...
Laws are passed 
Policies are changed

I Am So Angry!

Where do you spend your dollar?
As one person, do I have any power.  You absoutley do, what you learn you can share. The Power is with "your dollar".  Where do you spend it?  Have you ever considered researching information about the Corporations where you spend your dollar (Grocery chains, Food you purchase, Clothes you buy, Restaurants / Food Chains, Mobile Phone Carrier, etc) Where do you spend your dollar. Who does the large Corporatin support, what community involvement are they hands on with? What causes or charities do they support? What investment have they made in the communities or causes that surround you?!

Every dollar signifies power and you should know where you decide to spend it. 

You, I, We should Know where our dollar is spent.  Don't just get angry, "do your homework" decide who to hand your dollar over to. 


I Am So Angry!

Do you Vote?

There is Power in your vote.  No vote, no Voice
If you choose to not "cast your vote / your voice, your ballot" you made a choice "validating" candidates who you may not agree with. You have chosen to allow someone to create policies and laws that don't serve your interest. When you choose not to vote.
No Vote, No Voice

What is your Interest, Why should you vote...
Your Household
Your Family
Future Generations which your includechildren and their children's children
Your Finances
Your Opportunities in Business or Personal Investment
Your Community, Your Neighborhood is effected by you casting your vote

I Am So Angry!

From A Heart that knows "In An Instant" life changes, a bleeding heart that had to ask  "what now?!".  What can I do with this Anger, What Change "can I" become?! How can I pay back the evil that shifted my life forever?!  How can I Make Pain Pay? How Can I Make Pain Purposeful?

I Am So Angry!

"No One Said Easy" and now that we know that let's "take the anger" and the energy and do the work to start as the "power of one"

Thank you for traveling this unfamiliar path with me.  Thank you for being here.  Thank you for answering an Eagle Call, my work includes planting seeds of gratitude.  

For me, there is a Garden of Gratitude that grows and I've learned by the road behind me...The Garden will always have work to "tend to", always will require pulling weeds and planting Gratitude.  It is for me "Generations", it is for me "Making Pain Pay Dividends.  It is for me Flowers growing out of Pain, out of Ashes, it is for me Robbing the Thief Named Regret. It is for me, beyond my doorstep, it is for someone to know that is hurting that they are not alone and that they can come out of a dark room. 

You're Angry?!, I understand that...now consider this, doing something with it that "brings change"  You don't need a committee, a pep rally, a cheer team, you just need to consider the Power of One.  

Live Heart Inspired with Donyale

Today's word:  Resilience
The quote below defines "Resilience" in such a beautiful way. I love these words on this image because it speaks to how I sum up my journey.  For some, we walk through and it appears with strength and resilence and it is true for some we do but it doesn't mean we don't feel the weight, the gravity, the emotion, for some God allows the ability to verbalize the pain while walking through it.

For me, as a woman of Faith, it is the Grace of God, the Anointing that resides in my life, that when I surrender my weakness, my pain, He overrides and takes the wheel.  In my weakness God is my Strength.

"Just Breathe"

Thank you for joining with me Planting Seeds of Gratitude.  Thank you for joining in the work of my way of Punching Back at the Evil that kicked down my door and altered my life forever. 

"Victim is Not My Name" for me the fulfillment, the encouragement is doing the work, is planting seeds in the midst of what came to destroy my life, my sons and future generations.  The Fulfillment is choosing to get back up and to make a difference in the life of "anyone" I come across.  My healing ointment is an artist at heart, I release what is lodged on my heart, where it goes is God's Business.  My healing ointment is Encouraging because it always returns and encourages me.  My sons will know that Flowers can grow out of ashes and the best part beyond our doorstep, no one should walk alone in the midst of unimaginable pain.  

Not a Landing place instead Campsites of Rest

This past week so many things to walk through, as a Woman of Faith, I been considering this season.  Faith is not just a word along my journey, in fact my Faith references Faith as "Fight the good fight of the faith...(1 Timothy 6:12), for me, it is taking the next step Trusting God without seeing around the corner, over the mountain, or the steps ahead. Trusting God, the fight of "especially" when you don't know the many Whys along the journey behind you or present day, Why "so many" things are allowed along the journey. The Why to so many questions that may not have answers along this road...Faith


Not a Landing place instead Campsites of Rest

Faith, a trust, even in that declaration, winds continue to blow and you continue to walk, to move forward "Trusting" and even in sharing that here, I still have A Choice, but when you know and you reflect on all the many places that are behind you, you then recognize it is not one thing you could have personally done that allows you to walk with Peace within" in the middle of high winds.  Nothing, except the Love and Grace of the God that I love, that I seek daily a relationship with because the Journey is now and there is a walk from now until the journey ends.  

Please know, to say, to share, doesn't mean "mastered,  "No One Said Easy"

Faith..
it is drawing from the "experiences of His Love" that are miles traveled behind you that carry you through "right now" present moments. 

Having faith doesn't mean you sit on a special council, hold a special VIP card, have a hotline number, "for me" it is a Grace that you are introduced to without any efforts that you have put forth.  For me, it has been, it is and continues to be a Pursuit of His Ways, His Love, a "relationship" that is beautiful. 

The best part it is offered as a "Custom Suit" that is fitted by the designer, the creator, it is for You, for Me, for anyone who is seeking there own truth.  

My share is not to sign up anyone to My Faith but I would be remiss to know what brought me out of dark rooms, what has been and continues to be Unconditional Love and Grace beyond the words to express and not share my story. 

My intent is to share the Love, the Grace that carried me this far, through very dark places, hurtful places and God didn't asked for me to clean myself up, to be presentable, to come dressed a certain way, to talk a certain way, to be a scholar of anything, in fact simply invited me to a place that is filled with Love, "unconditionally".  ***It doesn't mean you become immune or excluded from challenges, pain or sadness, it means you are not defined by those moments.

The God I've come to know, walks in the mud with me, still does, He listens, He shares, He is Love, no prerequisties, no certain works, no numbers to gather to be in His camp, no rituals, allow me to say again "Respectfully" my intent is not to disrepect anyone's faith, including if you don't believe in a God. Here "love" resides and surely if we have a Creator, He Knows your walk, your hurt, your belief and unbelief and He knows you, so He doesn't need me creating a mess with directives about you, someone I may never meet, including the "many" things I don't know about you.  

The many things, the story behind the "smile" and or behind the "anger".  My share is to seek your truth, we should all do our diligence, recognizing the truth that we are willing to die on. 

Allow me to Pause to say, this is a Buffet Table community,
​that is built with walls of Love of everything that is shared and if we can meet at that point, great lets just hang out with that.  Take what can be an asset and leave the rest behind but know "YOU" are always welcome from the center of "Love" it is the one word that speaks many languages.  The God I know Loves and He knows "exactly" how to Connect, to Meet with His Creation.

As one with an artist's heart, I have come to learn, that I have to share what is lodged within, it is my release, my fulfillment and God decides "if" and "where" it travels.  He will decide and for me that is His Business.  

​Not a Landing, Campsites of Rest

In Closing,

Life's journey "for me" is becoming "Campsites" of rest, I'm starting to consider there may not be a "landing place" it may be a journey with "campsites of rest".  Sooo, I'm continuing to travel forward, living inside out, living with intent, seeking fulfillment in what moves my heart, continuing to plant seeds of Gratitude, "expecting" flowers to grow out ashes along my journey...

After all , does anything remain the same?! Is there a "Landing Place" or is it doing our "heart part", small or large, it is doing the things that whispers to the heart, in the moments along our travel, every "single" day.

​​Not a Landing, Campsites of Rest

I'm considering for this post, those things that bring my heart the greatest fulfillment.  My heart is drawn to Images, to Words, to those things that make my heart Pause,
to Consider, to Reflect on my Journey.

My joy, my healing ointment has been located in sharing those things that bring Encouragement and Inspiration to my Heart and then to Share those things with someone Else,
"in the midst" of my own journey and my own battles,
my own distractions. To Encourage someone else, always Encourages Me.
Please Note:  That is "ME" and this may not be your gift or your flow in what brings your heart fulfillment.  Be Your Best Version, Live Freely in Your Own Zone.

Beautiful is when you know Your Why, Your Joy, Your Journey

It is a "Healing Ointment" because the more I give the more that returns 
to Encourage and Inspire Me. That is a blessing, God's Grace and I'm very Thankful.

​Living Inside out, "Not Mastered, An Exercise"

"No One Said Easy" and now that we know that....is the theme for this season

I often consider how this community, Helping Build Bridges Across began
"Online" in 2014 as a way to just share from our Generation to the Next
to just encourage, to just share a Sandbox of thoughts.
It started in April 2014 with an Update in April 2019


  To read for yourself, visit the "About" page,  I was looking for this type of community, when I couldn't find it, I simply decided to create one. 
I added in 2014. who knows what adventure we will find as we travel the journey together.

​Who Knew...the Chapters, the Pages that would be written, that would follow.  
Who Knows the Road Up Ahead

Living Inside out, "Not Mastered, An Exercise"

 When you are an Encourager, it can at times allow others to think that the process is simple and that the person is strong and that alone, can be more of a burden for some because the heart is so weighted. The heart is so disappointed, the heart is so hurt,
the heart has so many questions of "Why" that may never be answered
along our journey.  

The joy, the hope is dimmering and the room is getting a little darker and to see that someone is Encouraging in the midst of there own journey "some" of which you may know. Can at times be more of a burden. 

This is why I share regularly that "No One Said Easy" and "now that we know that..."
it becomes Empowering because it takes a stand in the midst of the challenges,
the distractions, the insecurity of how things will work out.
It becomes "An Exercise" in the moments.  

​The Work is "an exercise" in the moments, battling thoughts that "will come" that will create fear, that create sadness and concern.  That is the "exercise" that is the "work" in the midst of those things continuing forward and I will share "never mastered"
it is an exercise 


Living Inside out, "Not Mastered, An Exercise"
"No One Said Easy" and to acknowledge that , continuing forward in the midst of our distractions, our challenges and concerns, again to me that is very, very empowering.

The words are true there is so little that we control of in life
We do not determine the winds that blow
As a Woman of Faith 
I choose to "exercise" My Faith
To "exercise" Living this Journey on the Same Faith "that I will die on"

​
That is important
Because when you decide "Your Truth" 
Every decision, Fear, Challenge, Distraction will draw back to that question
What is Your Truth?
What is Your Faith?
What are you Willing to Die on?


Living Inside out, "Not Mastered, An Exercise"

​In Closing 
That Foundation is...
Those Questions are
What  will determine our actions, our words and everyday of our journey

Again
"No One Said Easy"
Not Mastered, An Exercise
Not Mountains, Moments 

Thank you for connecting
Thank you for joining the work of #MakingGratitudeContagious
Thank you for answering an Eagle Call

Every and Anything you have done and will do "is appreciated"
A ripple in the water travels a thousands miles

Whatever is planted
​Will always grow

If Life is a Gift?
What are you giving to others?

Be alert and not be fooled, deceived, living as if we were promised "forever" here
Living as if someone Promised Us Tomorrow Will Look the Same as Today

Don't so easily allow Offenses, Pettiness and Hurts to rob us 
'being stuck" not being able to see anything but that moment or moments experienced along our journey.

Every day, every moment we can't focus continuously on what happened
Resigning in
Living as a victim
Living in "why me"


If Life is a Gift?
What are you giving to others?

Yes, of course there are injustices
Yes, what happened to you, to me, to us "wasn't fair"
We sign up to being titled "a victim" when we choose "only one" focus
Consider, instead how can we plant flowers in the ashes?!

What Punch Back options do we have?
Start with "being the change"
Lets Go...what can we do to turn the world upside down "Making a Difference"
Not everyone needs to be on a Platform
Not everyone should share there story
There is plenty of work to do
Being available to wherever our "daily" travel takes us
Just being Available with a Listening Ear
Offering a Smile, something as Simple as Good Morning means something
Living daily as an Asset
Not a Liability
#AlwaysaChoice


Who needs to live this short life's journey, as a Victim?!
Wipe off the dust and lets get to work "taking the injustice" and making the Pain Pay
The work starts in the mirror...Yes, working through being healed and whole
The Work is found in how we treat those who surround us...Yes
The work is for Generations traveling behind us...Yes
with the intent to build and not tear down of what is possible
The Work is Paying it forward to Plant Seeds that will Grow
Making Changes, Making a Difference in the lives around us for the better
The work is wrapped up and defined as "love always, always wins" 

If Life is a Gift?
What are you giving to others?

Forgiveness is not Forgetting
Forgiveness releases your heart to continue forward
Broken free from distractions
Broken free from being stuck
Broken free from a victim's mentality of "poor me"
It's not that easy...we all "have our work to do"
We are not the same
We Heal Differently
We Grieve Differently
We Break Free Differently
But for the "ONE" who needs Help...Just Get the Help
Don't Lose one more day of being Stuck
Not One More Day...Just Get the Help
Yes..you can come out of a dark room
Yes..your life matters and the fulfillment can be found in helping others

Forgiveness does not mean you have to surround your life with anyone
​that is not Healthy to your Journey
Forgiveness is Breaking Free
Forgiveness is Living Inside Out

Is Life a Gift?
What are you giving to others?

 If Life is a Gift?
What are you giving to others?

Letting Go
Letting God 
Is not Magic Words...Peace and Trust comes from seeking a relationship, knowing,
drawing from personal experience from miles traveled along the journey.  
To seek, to ask, to listen
​To know your truth of what you're living on and willing to die on

Words
Declarations
are not Magic...to say...doesn't mean Pain just disappears
​If only it was that simple...

If Life is a Gift?
What are you giving to others?

You, I, We Have to do the Work
Exercising "Living Inside Out" allowing Peace to be our core
beyond the External  of what surrounds us

"No One Said Easy"
"No One Said Easy"
"No One Said Easy" and now that we know that we choose to do the Work
We recognize what is priceless, we do the work, because for "most of us" we've learned firsthand "No One Promised Us that Tomorrow Will Look the Same as Today"
That reason alone
Allows us to value this precious Gift Called Life
