The Word Change

8/30/2021

The word on my heart this past weekend was “Change” and the flow is that it really isn’t about good or bad changes, it is about life changes. It is a part of life’s journey, we all started as babies and we continue through seasons of life, a change.  We viewed and we view the day from the eyes, from the season that we were in and including currently reside in. 

The Word “Change”


The Word Change, just the word alone takes our thoughts in many directions.  I’m in the midst of a change and really when you consider life’s journey there is always something changing. That is why for me, it is not just about the next destination, it is about the choices presented to us within a day, the choice of what we say, what we do and how we choose to respond.  

When we live aware of our choices, as we go forward, we can look back at how all those days connected and if a diligent effort is made in the area of gratitude "daily".  For some it will include, when in review how  exercising "Gratitude Robs Regret"


Gratitude allows us to embrace change, not centered on “easy or not”, but instead what can we do with it, celebrate, locate the beautiful in it, take it and “make it an asset”.  Change, address those areas that we can, and to not carry areas that are beyond our control.


The Word “Change”

Exercising, building on Peace Within, allows the calmness in the midst of.  Calmness allows us to locate options and to make decisions accordingly. 

This can work in so many ways, consider someone who comes to you and is weighted about a situation, not necessarily looking for answers,  just overwhelmed, sad in the “moment”.  Your disposition of an encouraging word, an upside in looking at the situation, or even a smile or just a listening ear can allow someone else to consider that situation differently. 
​
The Word “Change”

Change has many ways to be looked at. I no longer consider easy or not, my Focus is doing what I can, resting and receiving peace while in the midst of my options, if any or not. My heart chooses making the best of the day I reside in, did I mention the discussion is not about easy.  It is about a choice.

Living, understanding and recognizing “change” is a part of our lives and when you live the best of every stage, every day, it really takes on a new meaning of what change can mean?!


The Word “Change”


I don’t share answers, I share a perspective from my experiences, my belief and the lessons from the road traveled and living intentionally for the day that I'm blessed to have. My exercise is accepting Change in whatever season I find myself in.  Again and again, my focus is not about "easy or not easy". I can only do what I can do. 

Let's consider to take what can be an asset and continue forward.


All the best, until next time.

Hugs,

What was meant to destroy not just our lives but for "generations"
When Life Changes "In An Instant"
You, I, We always have a choice on what to do with it


My Decision Was, Is and for the remainder of this journey 
Has been Been Decided


Fulfillment has been located in knowing that my experience
can be shared and God will decide where it will land
which "for me" is His Business


This work, this journey is no longer just me or my home
But Now
For Every Heart who found found there way here
Long Term, Short Term or just for a Moment


Take what can be an asset
and 
Continue Forward


Some will tend the garden
Some will water it
Some will take a moment to Rest and Regroup before continuing forward

Have you figured out?!

Have you figured out?!

Have you figured out, who this journey belongs to?!  Freedom "for me" is when "you" know your why.

My journey, my life was liberated when I figured out that I travel with many, but I will always be accountable to one.  So many voices, so many opinions, so many of "they say", but liberation found me, asking. . .what do I say?!  

This includes as a Woman of Faith, for me, that means seeking, walking, asking, having a relationship with my Creator, not just based on a religion, not just based on rules and regulations of that religion, but my journey based on a "relationship" with God.  

After all, my chapter will end on the way it started "just me" and with that, I Live "daily" on what I'm willing to die on, which includes my daily words spoken, my choices, my daily actions.  


Have you figured out?!
​My name is Yvette "Donyale" to know more, to learn more, simply visit where it started on "About".  If you know nothing else about me, or about "Helping Build Bridges Across" please depart with this. . .    


​
I do not share Answers, I share a Perspective from the road traveled "to date" of this post, from my experiences, from my "chosen belief", my view.  I share, and my invitation is that you can Watch, you can Listen, you can Read, and "you decide" what can be an asset to your journey and continue forward.  > > Buffet Table "you" can choose.  
Have you figured out?!
​This post is shared from an observation of so many who want to "fit in" and it is adopted in the heart of one who allows the views of others to decide, overriding what may not "feel comfortable", it appears to be decided by "living" measured by the ruler of others.



Have you ever considered, 
We are all traveling a journey figuring things out, making decisions, and of course we receive an overflow of information, of voices, and of opinions.


In closing. . .  Have you figured out?!



Who the journey belongs to, we all receive information, and then We, You, and I have to decide what the decision will be not for a lifetime, for the Day, for the Moment, for the decision that needs to be made in that moment.


​
We all grow, and where we start, will change as we travel forward, this share is to Take Time, Take a Pause to decide in this Chapter, this Season of the journey what is best for "you".

Do Not Invest So Much

Do Not Invest so much into the words from others, from the opinion of others, so much that you lose your Focus, you lose your Joy, and or lose your Peace.

Not one of us know "the heart" of someone else and some only know how to hurt others by words and actions based on there own  pain within, there own insecurity.  

There are situations, that you can't just walk away.  For some, they live with the Pain, they work with the Pain, they encounter the Pain along the journey.  

​
Do Not Invest so much
The work is your heart, your mind, your peace.  Yes, work.  You and I can't control anyone else.  Our control is what we do with the insensitivity, the nonsense, the anger delivered our way.  For some, it is easy, to draw a line and end those situations.  For some, not so easy, so much is obligated to this source of no discretion.  You can't just make the change in an instant, so much more is involved. 


How powerful it is to know your source of Peace, and to live daily in deciding what is allowed in your Heart Gate.  Only we can decide what we allow within, only we can decide how to respond.


The work in this village, Helping Build Bridges Across, is to remind you that "No One Said Easy", we are not exercising, building on EASY.  Our work is daily exercise, in the decisions we "choose" to make, our "response" we choose to deliver, and our "participation' in accepting invitations to Drama.


Do Not Invest so much
Do you recognize how powerful that word "participation" is.  The source that delivers confusion, drama, just venom, consider it requires participation in the "invitation" of that, for some it has been a dance, a rehearsal of the same script.  Only you can decide "no", I will not participate in the pain of someone else, it is there work to do. The same as it is for us, we should not be delivering our moments of hurt, pain on to someone else. We have to do the work, we have to confront the ground that needs to be worked on. 

Picture
Do Not Invest so much
​The journey of "Peace" doesn't require speeches, or declarations, it is operating in what we can control, our heart, our mind.  My Faith has taught me the power of my journey, my heart, my fulfillment, and that is not measured by anyone else.  I have forgiven many things, and the greatest freedom, is it no longer a Focus, it is no longer a Distraction, it is not my center, my thoughts and my time is no longer invested in those areas, I can't control and  "what has been released".  

Be sure to connect to our Village News, together we are exercising our Peace muscles, our Gratitude muscles and we share the power of that.  #PlantingSeedsofGratitude
