Gratitude is NOT "Either-Or"...

6/13/2022

Comments

 

Gratitude is NOT... "either-or"

This share was lodged within and one message meant...
it had to be released/shared.
​

Thoughts centered on Gratitude is not magic. 

Gratitude is not just an affirmation or positive words.
Picture

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

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.

"Mountain View Reflection"

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....

​"Mountain View Reflection"

From this Heart to Your Heart
We all get moments
We all get chances
Opportunities

That "allow us" to make a Decision

​"Mountain View Reflection"

Thank you for Being Here
Thank you for Sharing This Heart Journey
This Heart Does Not Share Answers
This Heart Shares a Perspective
From the Road Traveled...to this Present Day

​"Mountain View Reflection"

For the Hearts
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"

​"Mountain View Reflection"

Did Someone Say Easy?!




This Heart doesn't share Easy
and
Not Focused on being Hard





This Heart Shares 
Whatever is lodged within 
This Heart...The Heart of an Artist

Who Just Wants to Deliver
What is lodged within
What is weighted inside
To the Heart who is Listening






and



Dear Friend,

From This Heart to Yours
Where it Goes
Where it Lands


​
For This Heart
Is and Always will be 

"​God's Business"

​"Mountain View Reflection"

"Until Next Time"

Who is in the Room?!

Who is Looking?!

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

For Those Hearts
Who never considered really considered

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

Until Next Time...

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

6/1/2022

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
