You can't outrun Yourself...

​You can't outrun Yourself

For the Heart who is always running to the next page...
At Top Speed
The Heart who never has an opportunity to write a page
For,
The day "your heart" is residing in "this day, this moment"



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,
Donyale

Thoughts can lead a heart to...

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. ​
Picture


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..
Picture

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. ​
Picture

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. 
Picture

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

Decisions...What Will our Heart Decide?!

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

Hugs,
Donyale

Out of the Heart Flows...

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,

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

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

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
