There Is Only One

There Is Only One

There is and only will be one YOU 
Words that should remind “YOU” 
Words that remind Me
And
For Some Hearts just to tell “YOU”

That You Are a Priceless Treasure
There Will Never Be Another You

That Matters
Know Your Value
That is not Delivered by Someone Else
That Comes from Within
There will Never Be Another You

Period
Change What You Can
Let Go of What You Can’t
Choose You 

Which Allows You to Be Your Best 
For Those Who Surround You

Until Next Time
Carry On
And
Take Care

Dear GOD, Use Me?!

Dear GOD, Use Me


Dear God, Use Me

Considering 
The Road Traveled
The Present Day
And
The Hopeful Road Ahead

Dear God, Use Me?!
What does that mean to be Used by God?
I’m sure as People of Faith we have many definitions
As those seeking a relationship with God, what will those words mean?

For this Heart the journey is priceless
Exercising in Gratitude 
In Search of and Locating Beautiful with Intention

The experiences have humbled this heart in many ways
We all have a view 
Our Heart’s Desires
On Topic, 
Considering those words, God Use Me?!

Maybe God Has Used Us 
When we offered a smile to a stranger around us
Or provide a peaceful space or conversation
Shared a laugh
Shared Tears
Had a Listening Ear


Dear God, Use Me?!
All Moments are not Grandiose
God knows our Heart
And
Maybe He is revealing more of who we are to us
Those things that need to be worked on
To Be Healed
To Seek His Wisdom On

To Surrender or Let Go Of
To Pursue
To Complete 
The list is endless

Dear God, Use Me?!
It is a Moment when no one is around
And you did the simplest thing for someone around you
Without sharing what you did
Without photos or telling everyone you know

Maybe God Asks Us to Do 
Because He Whispered to Our Heart to Do So
And
Only He Knows
What we did or did not do in those moments
Dear God, Use Me?!
It is not always a Moment that anyone can see 
God Knows the Seeds that were planted
God Knows the Heart and the Intent

Dear God, Use Me?!

Are the Choices We Make as the Sun Starts to Rise
Are Seeds that we Plant 
Though Hidden from Eyes
Every Decision
No Matter How Small
An Opportunity to have a Closer relationship with God
Not Criticized 
Or Missing a Mark

But Measured by Our Creator, By God
Whose Love is Beyond Measure for His Creation ~ HS
Dear God, Use Me?!

Thank You for Listening
Thank You for Reading
Thank You for Sharing our Village

Thank You for Sharing in the Work
Making Gratitude Contagious is always the Intent


Until Next Time
Hugs,
My Dear Friend 

Never Forget Your Worth

9/6/2024

Never Forget Your Worth

No Price can set the Value 
Of All that You Are
Don’t Try to Measure Worth
By
Someone’s Gaze
Whisper, Doubt or Sneer
Never Forget Your Worth
Stand Tall in Truth 
Let Courage Grow
No Need to Shrink
No Need to Hide
Stand Firm in the Belief
That You are Worthy of All 
That Life Has to Offer ~ HS

How can anyone provide Validation?
How can anyone 

Who Does Not Know

Your Experiences
The Road You’ve Traveled
Your Present-Day Concerns
And 
All that you have walked through
Which includes the Mountains you've Overcome

Never Forget Your Worth
Stand in Your Faith
Intentionally Live Being Grateful 
Engaged In this Priceless Commodity called Life

Hugs,

Yvette "Donyale"

Not Today

Not Today

To Drag Forward the Messiness 
From the Past
From the Last Time this Happened or That

Not Today 

To Open the Door 
To Confusion
To Drama and Tension
As a Main Character 
Or 
As a Supporting Cast

Not Today

To Provide the List of all things wrong
To Complain about what could have been
Not Today

Not Today

This Day
Choose to be Grateful
Choose To be Thankful
Choose to Sit in the Space of Peace
Choose to Celebrate Those Who Surround You
Choose To Thank God 
Who Gave You the Gift 
Called a New Day

~HS
