​Today is my last day with you…

It has been such a wonderful journey, sharing so many special moments with you.  

Please know,
I’m so grateful for all the time that we spent together, the conversations, the direct messages, silly moments filled with laughter, the things that we did that are memorable and that have traveled with me until this moment, wow, looking back we also got through some difficult places too.

I’ve really enjoyed life’s journey that has included Mountain Top Views that provided Unmerited Favor while being there, which allowed locating “Beautiful” that has a language of its own, a journey that has also included Valleys that was so dark and low, I wasn’t sure this heart could climb up again. However, For Me, my rope has been and is God’s Grace which allowed this heart to climb up through those low places, and whispered to continue forward.

This journey allowed this heart to know the unmeasurable value of Faith, not just knowing God as my creator, or what others say about God who He is and Not, but finding the treasure of a personal relationship, a place that provides a shield of an unmeasurable peace beyond this heart’s understanding or having the words to express to impact to you. A Faith that provided the revelation, the treasure of “God’s Rest” which is so much more than just those words, it is a treasure.  A Faith that allows “hope” beyond a grave. A relationship that you wish you could give to everyone you know, a glimpse of, what you’ve found, but this Heart Recognizes, that Faith is a “personal choice” and only those who “choose” to seek it will find it, and only “you”, only “I”, only “we”, can decide what we “choose” to live on, “knowing” that our choice is choosing what we are willing to also die on. A Personal Choice, not answers, but a Truth. 

We live in a world where we are always debating so many things, yet, a truth is that we all have a choice “daily” on how we live, on our words, our actions, and one that started on our own and will end the same way. 

Many of you have traveled some miles with me now, many of you since “day one” of being online.  You know this heart shares a Perspective, not Answers, a perspective.  You know, this heart, is not really interested in what is “easy” or not,  but instead “an exercise” a Focus on what really matters “daily”.  A buffet table is shared in this village, shared with those who take a moment to listen, to watch, to read, and to decide what can be an asset from that table, to carry forward on the journey. 

And

I decided to not take this moment for granted, trivializing this opportunity to Heart share with you. 


Today is my last day with you…

With That…

It has been a great journey and I’ve learned so much, that the list would be endless to share.

I considered, 

All the things that seem to matter so much, most of which are so minuscule now.  

I’ve reflected on the many years of nonsense tolerated, involved in, the pettiness, that now at this moment who really cares.

I’ve learned the value of a Village, a village filled with Family and dear Friends that surround you and will hold you up during difficult places, a village that prays for you when it is difficult to breathe, and places where you find it hard to stand on your own. A village that you live prepared to do the same wherever, and whenever the need arises.

We have shared so much laughter, and that included tears and endless hours of hope for our tomorrow, and we always talked about many times about how “life changes”.  

We talked about how fast it goes. It really does go by fast, and the older you get, it seems to go by faster.

We talked about, how it is so easy to take “what really matters” for granted

Most of us, can get so side-tracked, allowing distractions, subtleties shared by someone that can change our focus, and we can so easily get tricked by allowing offenses to build up walls between us, at least “for some”. Walls to divide instead of finding that place to address “hidden” issues designed to destroy future generations.  A crafty subtle divider that most can’t see and choose not to address.  The only question this heart has is “Who Wins?!” when those walls are allowed to be built. 

I’m grateful, I’ve learned different degrees, about “love” respectfully most through difficult places

But “learned”

And 

That allows a great reminder, that Love Matters



My Intent is that This book, my book, my heart,  will close on the Chapter Titled
“No Regret” 


This heart has shared for endless hours, about how “Life Is Like Really a Book” which in my opinion is a great metaphor, “A Book”

A book “we” all possess, it's a common “denominator” no matter WHO you are. A Book that begins and ends. 

We Know, this book. . .
Has a Beginning
Has an Ending
And
It offers each heart, “beautiful blank pages” in the middle
Which allow us to write what matters to “our heart”
Allows us to know “we” are surrounded by “many” but we will always be “accountable” to one. 


We will travel with many
But
Decisions presented and decided by one

​Lessons Learned
The difficult places you've walked through, filled with tears, with prayers
For some, you found the Faith that allowed you to “crawl” through unspeakable places
Your Faith allowed you to find a Hope 
That allows you to Celebrate Life
That allows you to Recognize What Really Matters
A Hope that “extends” beyond a chapter
​Beyond a book that will come to a close
~ HS

It is time to close this “Heart Letter”
Allow me to “remind” you, your Heart 
If you need to say “I’m Sorry” to someone, the only question is, if not now “When”
Who needs to hear “I Love You” that you’ve thought “numerous” times and now allow me to remind you, it is time to “Say It”, to say those words
Love Matters



My Dear Friend,
No one promised us that Tomorrow will look the Same As Today
But
The Treasure is found when you "live daily"  Knowing That
It will completely change how you Live
What You Say
And
What You Choose To Do or Not
Love Matters


Today is “not” my last day with you that “I’m aware” of
It is my “moment” to grab a moment with you
To Express my shares are so much more than “just words”
And
To Remind you, to remind me, to remind us
What Really Matters
My Heart is Hopeful, believing to Live a Long Life
And
To Exercise not “Taking One Moment” for granted

Only we can decide what we “choose” to do with all of that

Hugs,
Donyale

​​What is Your Ruler?!

Have you ever taken time to reflect on what you're measuring your life by?! 
Days are precious, a priceless treasure, at least to "this heart",  and decisions made are often derived from the ruler that you use.  So what or whom are you measuring your life by?!

​
Before we travel down this road to far. . .
​
Thank you for being here on Journey HBBA
Please Know, 
This Heart does not share answers
Instead
This Heart shares a Perspective from the road traveled to this day


This is "Heart Sharing" from one who like you is traveling life's journey
"A Heart"
That from the road traveled "to date" of this post, has been filled with laughter, love, tears and moments that took my breath away
"A Heart"
Who has experienced Mountain Tops, one who had experiences that were priceless and beyond the words to express here
"A Heart"
Who has experienced crawling around in the Valley with eyes filled with tears, wondering Why 

​What is Your Ruler?!

When a "heart" has traveled a few miles
"A Heart" who has experienced many things
You begin to decide "what ruler are you living by, measuring your life by?"
"A Heart" who has awaken to what really matters
"A Heart" who recognizes what "priceless" really means

What is Your Ruler?!

From My Heart to Yours. . .
Take time to recognize "what really matters"

No one promised us "tomorrow" will look the same as today
Those words should mean something to "your heart"

Do the work to decide "what is your ruler?"

This heart has done the work
It is Not easy, and it is and will be a  continued daily exercise
But
This Heart knows "the ruler" 
This Heart is Living on Knowing "Why"
This Heart is Living Daily not taking words or actions lightly

​"Words Matter"
If you don't have words to express
​Even a Peaceful Silence is an expression

What is Your Ruler?!

If you don't Know Your Value
Your Worth
How Can Someone
How Can Someone
How Can Someone

How Can "Anyone" possibly, who has no clue of the road you've traveled
How Can "Anyone" possibly, know the Battle of your Heart, your Thoughts "right now"
How Can "Anyone" who has No Clue of what resides in Your Heart

Tell YOU who you are and validate Your Value, Your Worth?`

How Can Someone, Anyone determine Your Ruler?
How You should decide to Measure for Your life

​Faith Matters
For this Heart I live on what I'm prepared for my life to end on
​Faith Matters

​What is Your Ruler?!

If you don't know "your value" how can the "ruler" of another one TELL YOU?!

YES
There is always more...

Every Sunrise offers an opportunity. . .
Every Sunrise is a reminder, that a New Day is a gift
Every Sunrise reminds us to not so easily take moments for granted

Don't hesitate to Say I love You
Don't hesitate to Appreciate Those Who Surround Your Life
Don't hesitate to Say I'm Sorry
Don't hesitate to "Agree to Disagree" and not live offended

Every Sunrise offers an opportunity. . .
No One Promised Us Tomorrow will Look the Same as Today
That alone should allow us to Laugh More, to Love, to Live Sharing Moments that Matter recognizing, that all Moments lived will become Memories

The Question is what type of Memories are we choosing to create?!

Every Sunrise offers an opportunity. . .  ~ HS
