Who are you racing?!

Who Are You Racing?!
Picture

Who Are You Racing?!
We share life's journey with many
But
We will always be accountable to one
Life's Journey is like a Great Book
It Has a Beginning
With Many Hearts who forget so easily 
​By the choices that are made 
Has an End


​
​Who are You Racing?!
What a Beautiful Image
A View from the Top of a Mountain
It reminds this Heart that "in reflection" we all have experienced moments
Moments that are the same as the "Top"
Of a Mountain View
A Chapter
A Season 
That offered a beautiful view
Filled with Love and Laughter
And
We also have Gone Through
Maybe even Crawled Through Valleys
Weighted Challenging
Places along our Journey






Who Are You Racing?!

We can exercise Gratitude Daily
Never mastered, an exercise
An Exercise that becomes a Reflex 
When we choose to exercise in it daily





Who are you Racing?!

If for nothing more than the Breath of Life we have
An opportunity afforded in a New Day
No matter the Chapter, no matter the Page, no matter the Moment or Season
We Can choose to Love on Others 
We Can Live Aware of what really Heart Matters 
"No One Promised Us Tomorrow Will Look the Same as Today"

And

For This Heart and Many Others
Our decisions are made with that Awareness 
Every Single Day
We are accountable to the choices that we will make





​Who are you racing?! 

The choices that we make
"Hopefully"
From Our Own Heart
From Our Own Decisions
And
"Are Not Made or Decided"

From the Voices that Surround Us
From Voices that have the intent to Control
Our Way of Thinking
To Speak Through Us
For 
There Own Agenda




Consider that Type of Power
From others 
Who can't even see a glimpse of our heart

or 

Have any clue of the road that we've
Walked Through 




Who are You Racing?!

On Top of the Mountain
And
Even in the lowest of the Valley


We always have a choice
We have a chapter
We have a page offered to us each day
A Page with a Pen that our Heart will Write


By Every Word Spoken
By Every Action We choose to Take
We Always Have a Choice
To decide to write the page
We Always Have a Choice
On what will be written on that Page





Who are You Racing?!


How does one write a page?
It is written even by the drifters of Heart
Who choose nothing, even that is written
By every word
By every action
By every choice that is made or not
It is written 







Who are You Racing?!



Heart Reflecting on Conversations
And
Considering those Moments of Hearts who Seem to share from a Mountain Top View

The Mountain View Hearts 
Sharing words with Authority
That seem to represent
"Having life all figured out"

So Much So...

Hearts that share direction
That share answers
​



Authorities that share
5 ways of How To
and
10 ways To Do

Sharing direction based on a moment
Based on a page
A Chapter
A Season of sitting on 
"Top of the mountain" 







Who Are You Racing?!
 

Do They 
Do You
Have it all Figured Out?!
Top of Mountain Dwellers
Have They...

Found a way to 
Possess a  Life that Never Changes 
Which includes or allows being
"An Authority"
To share with other hearts
Directing hearts
They no nothing about
Nothing about the Road Traveled






Who are You Racing?!

Considering...
What is Life's Journey All About?!

Not Sharing Answers 
Sharing A Perspective
Taking a Pause 
To
Share
To
Be Still and Reflect  







Who Are You Racing?!

A Mountain Top Moment 
From a view that can never be Possessed
Cannot be locked down
But

Yet so much energy into a Moment
That will surely pass
And
For some Hearts who make Decisions


AS IF
The Mountain Top Will
Always remain the same?!

When the Road Changes...

When the Road Changes...
Picture
When the Road Changes...
As we travel through life's journey, it is easy to take life for granted.  It is almost as if we are sleep walking, living life as if it remains the same, living as if nothing changes.  

​
When Life
When the Road Changes
We are left with the road traveled, we will be left with the decisions, the choices that we've made and will make. 
​When the Road Changes...

One of the greatest gifts along this heart's journey, is what was learned at a young age that life can change, that change can separate us from those we assumed would always be there traveling the journey with us, traveling this road ahead. 



Again a view from a young heart.
As we continue on the road before us, we learn the value, at least for some, the value of those who surround our life, who are a blessing even in the the midst of the "messes, the mistakes, the things that can't be unspoken or can't be undone"  




It is so easy to sit back and critique the mistakes of others
To decide what someone else should have done



That part that amazes this heart is because in most cases,  it includes those who can't see their part, who can't see that we all need room for forgiveness.  That amazes me, those who seem to "think" they have it all figured out and sit in the seat of sharing there wisdom, there answers, they really believe that they are  experts on living life's journey.




That amazes me...
These same hearts of great wisdom are the ones who when things changes have the most challenging times of "Why didn't I or the actions that should have happen, or could have, left now with the weeping tears of if only I had done"



When "this day" offers that You Can Do
But still chooses to sit in their "wisdom"
In spite of...




When the Road Changes...




This amazes me



To the Hearts Who Know
and 
For the First Time Visitors
This Heart doesn't share Answers
The share comes from this heart's experiences, the environment, the road traveled to this day of sharing with your heart
Take what can be an asset and just simply leave the rest behind




If your hearts is led to
Join in the work with this Heart 
With the Villagers who are working together
Planting Gratitude




This Heart is empowered by What I Can Do
Not 
Trapped by what I can't change
No One Promised Me that Tomorrow Will Look the Same as Today
And
That Dear Friend is Priceless to this Heart 
It allows You
It allows Me
It allows Us
To Live in that
It allows Us an Opportunity to Be Aware, to Be Alert 
To What Really Matters "every single day"
An Exercise
Never mastered
But 
An An Exercise
Until
It becomes a Reflex




It allows us to make the best decisions that we Can This Day
Even Peaceful Silence
Can be a Gift
It is the Place, the Space that allows us to Take a Pause
To Just Sit with What Really Matters 
Before We Speak 
Before We Respond
Before we choose an option
Before we make a decision  
Every Single Moment and Every Single Day
It is Measuring the Cost Before





Until Next Time
Thank you Dear Heart for Connecting, for Being Here
For Getting In where you Fit In
Planting Gratitude with this Heart
The Seeds are Sprouting...Can You See it?!

​Thank you for "Heart Sharing" this Journey

What are you waiting on?!

What are YOU waiting on?!
This Month


I celebrated a birthday and it was a great time
with Family and Dear Friends





A Birthday

That allowed reflection and the opportunity
To Celebrate





With my own theme which
Included the words





The way that

“This Heart Wanted To”






Beautiful is that this heart, did just that, enjoying, doing, and celebrating
what brings my heart joy. 






Thanking God for Life, life is a gift, and you know that I believe in exercising gratitude, again these priceless commodities that are shared from this heart




“Not Mastered”
but instead a choice
A Daily Exercise.





A choice that decides to, every single day, some days much easier than others to Exercise In
But Again


A discipline that decides to do so
“Including in the midst of..."

Those complicated, complex and challenging places
and Seasons
Always a Choice






My joy, my fulfillment is found
Located
“beyond me and mine”




I’m grateful to my Creator for an Opportunity
to share with other hearts,
It is a Precious
Privilege to “Just Share”
NOT ANSWERS
A HEART PERSPECTIVE




Allowing the “Heart”
who Hears
who Sees
or
who Reads


To Decide

What is an Asset for their Own Journey






Hearts that know they are a part of this Village

"Helping Build Bridges Across"




My favorite reference is a Village

Which for this Heart Means
We are Never Walking Alone




Together we are Planting Seeds of Gratitude


With the Intent of 


"Making Gratitude Contagious"







Daily devotion is time with God
which includes reflection on the Day Before Us
and
With Intent 
For the Hopeful Road Ahead




It Is a Discipline that allows this Heart to
“Sit Still”
Intentionally



REFLECTING






For this Heart…
that includes just being “Grateful”
For this Time Now
For this Moment,
For this Current Day






What is Your Daily Reflection?
What Really Matters to Your Heart?





Dear Friend,

When you KNOW YOUR WHY
Your Journey
Your Road Ahead
Will look very different


KNOWING
Will Decide
Every Word Spoken
Every Action Taken
It Will be Framed By...
Measuring the Cost Before



IT WILL INCLUDE



"Awareness Of"

~ Moments that will become Priceless Memories ~

Not Maybe
But Will


​
What are YOU waiting on?!
​What does a New Day Mean to Your Heart?

Sing a Song...

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


Not sharing Easy
"Choosing" not to Focus on Hard


Exercising Gratitude Daily




Thank you for Heart Sharing the Journey
