You're Invited to celebrate this gift called Life
Not a small thing


Traveling this Heart Journey
Living Exercising Gratitude Daily
Is a Focus
Is a Choice 

Reflecting and Living Heart Inspired
Is an Intent 



This Heart Recognizes 
That some days
some moments
some seasons are not
So Great


​
But
Consider
All the Places in the World
That are filled with that Conversation
That Focus
There are numerous places to find more negativity
To accept more hopeless headlines
To be defeated before a New Day Begins


This is An Invitation
To Celebrate 
The Gift of Life
The Joy of Priceless Memories
A Heart filled with Hope for the Road Before Us



"There will Always be a Season For..."





This scripture that follows
​can share it much better than
This Heart Knows How To...


Picture

There will always be a season
This Heart chooses to celebrate Life
To Be Grateful and to Rejoice This Day 
That the Lord Has Made



To Rest In God is a Priceless Treasure
To Surrender our Cares and Worries
Is a Breath of Fresh Air
Above what this Heart Feels
Beyond the Circumstances this Heart is Challenged With



There Is
And 
Always Will Be a Season

​
You're Invited to Join This Heart 
Celebrating This Gift called Life

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?!




Who Are You Racing?!

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?!

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
​


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

FULFILLMENT for This Heart...


Is Sharing what has been located within and allowing the one who comes across this...


​For "the Heart" who finds this
Only you will be left to DECIDE what to do with it.




Please Know...
It is delivered with Love without Obligation
It is Shared and Intended to be An Asset

But
Every Heart who comes across it
Will 

Have to Decide what to do with it. 


Often Asked...
What did you do when Life Shifted?!
When Life Changed "In An Instant"





As a Woman of Faith
It did not remove the Pain
It did not provide any answers of "next steps"
It did not provide "what to do" now

​


Faith
Did not take me over, did not eliminate all of the uncertainty that Flooded In without permission
When Life Changed "In An Instant"

​

Faith
Didn't provide answers
Didn't whisper a warning of what a New Day would now
"Look Like"

Often Asked...

From that Crossroad

Looking Back and Reflecting

This Heart Realizes...


What I learned
What I experienced
Faith filled to that "moment"
A relationship with My Creator
Allowed this Heart...



To Just Let Go
To Just Surrender to the Day Before Me...
To Recognize that "this heart" was not in Control




Trusting God

Surrendering to my Faith
Trusting God

Trusting the Same God that I had known up until to that Present Moment




Trusting God
That met with me at the Crossroad
Of
When Life's Journey
Life's Plans
Had Changed 

In An Instant


Often Asked...


Choosing the Focus

Every Single Day
Every Single Day
Every Single Day



Exercising Gratitude


Choosing to Focus on What Really Matters
Choosing Intent for the Day before "this Heart"


From that Moment and Continuing 
Recognizing that "Change Happens"



Which Now Allows this Heart
To
Exercise Daily Loving On
Celebrating with
Reflecting and Appreciating





When Life Changes
It will be heart confronted
We have No Choice but to confront





But
Whatever it Is
And
As Time allows a Heart to Heal
At Least for This Heart

It will not be a Journey filled with Regret




This Road
This Heart Share is not about being Easy
And 
This Heart Chooses Not to Focus on Being Hard


This Heart is 
Not Providing Answers




This is a
Heart Share
A Heart Journey

Every Day is Not Great...





This Heart 
Doesn't Share Answers

This Heart
Shares a Perspective from the "route" traveled




This Heart Agrees
Every Day is Not Great





From This Heart's View

This Heart CHOOSES to "Take a Pause"
and
Then Considers
What Really does Matter?!




Taking a Moment
To Share 
That No One Said Easy
"Always a Choice"






Always a Choice

This Heart recognizes
That Life is not Continual

It is and always
Will be
Changing






With That being Known
This Heart then "chooses" 
​

To
Exercise Gratitude Daily
Never Mastered...Exercising





Life Always Offers a Choice Daily


And
Only We Can Decide 




What to Choose
and
How To Respond




Including


What We Do This Day

What Can We Take with Us?!

What Can We Take with Us?!


What can we take from the road that we’ve traveled…

What can we carry and what can we utilize for this day
and
Pack for the Hopeful Road ahead




What Can We Take with Us?!

This heart dances with “what is” and that includes
what this heart has no control over
the changes,
the losses,
the seasons of what life delivers without permission
and
leaves this heart only with the choice
of
“how to respond”



The Village of Gratitude allows this heart to Share
these reflections
this Heart's Perspective
To Remind our hearts to Focus
Daily
On 
What Really Matters

and
To Exercise Daily in being Grateful 


Thank You
For the Hearts who are traveling this Journey with this Heart


For the hearts who join in dancing daily 

Being Grateful for a New Day


Even in the Midst
Even in What is Surrounding our life
Even in the Challenges that battle our Thoughts 

​


What Can We Take with Us?!

This Heart believes that when we allow our hearts to travel Grateful

It allows us
To 
Choose our Words
To Decide our Actions
To deliver Peaceful Silence
Which is not
A small thing

​
Picture

What Can We Take with Us?!

It allows us to Celebrate this day gifted to our lives
The celebration of life that comes wrapped in so many different ways
That is delivered into the lives of others in different varieties 



Celebration is dancing, laughter, peaceful silence, and saying out loud
those “beautiful” words that are dancing within our thoughts
without worrying or without concern of how they will be received or not.


The Heart's Fulfillment
discovered 
Taking the road traveled

and 
Sharing
A Heart's Buffet


​

What Can We Take with Us?!

Beautiful is being able to share the words of those we love that has
Transitioned
​before us…




How unique are those words, those moments, those memories to carry into the day
we have and for the hopeful road ahead




For this Heart, my loved ones who have transitioned “was here” and I enjoy when applicable and in the context of moments sharing the words that bring laughter, that offer wisdom to consider, to carry packed for the hopeful road ahead.


They were here… this heart doesn’t lose sight of that, those hearts travel with this heart and will always be tattooed on this heart. 



For this Heart
Choosing what really matters




This Heart filled with Faith has a life beyond a body that is left but has the departure of a spirit that lives on, travels on, and will leave behind, at least for this Heart,
The Power of Love



Picture

What can we take with Us?!


Dear Friend,
From this Heart to your Heart…

​

Throwing the ball to your heart
to allow you to decide, to reflect, to consider the words shared





What can we take with Us?!

From 
The Road traveled
From the Experiences
From those who have transitioned forward leaving behind 
Moments filled with Words





This Heart doesn’t share answers
This Heart shares a perspective


​This Heart invites “your heart” to decide what to do 

with this Heart Buffet



Hugs,
Donyale

Added Sweetness...
When you exercise in Gratitude
There are moments that find you. 

The simplest things can bring a "little sweetness" to start the day.

The sweetener packets even have a little sweetness to add to the day. 

This heart "loves it".  



Consider,
We all have the option
To approach even those things we've done before
Treating those moments as an experience

As a coffee drinker
Taking time for reflection while drinking
Setting Intent for the day before this Heart
All of which is An Experience

Is the Door Unlocked?!

7/10/2022

Is the door unlocked?!

My reflection is in this zone…

When you’re life travels through tragic waters…

Especially in the “freshness” of something happening, that is unimaginable, that takes your breath away, that throws you into a Fog without warning
​

That for some functioning because of…
 While living in the numbness, crawling, working through the pain and tears

Is the door unlocked?!
​

This is being shared for the hearts in the midst of the Freshness
And 
Including the hearts who are seeing the light out of a dark room

This is being shared for the hearts who are on the other side of healing
But walking with tattooed hearts on the road forward…

Is the door unlocked?!

This is shared for the Hearts of Faith
As a woman of Faith, I’ve been taught that it rains on the Just and the Unjust

No one has an “exemption” from challenging places
And 
This heart understands and knows that to be a truth

This heart knows firsthand about Mountains and Valleys

But…

Is the door unlocked?!


When a tragic moment happens…
It comes in with an agenda?

My reflection considers 
That when something tragic, unimaginable, or challenging happens or is happening, it comes with the toolbox of “Is the door Unlocked?!”


When this or that happens
It brings the thoughts of being vulnerable
It is designed in this heart’s opinion
To rob the living heart of Peace
Of Possibility
Of constantly checking doors that surround your life

Is the door unlocked?!
​

Can this happen to those who surround your life
Is this possible
Why this or Why That



This Heart is sharing that as a woman of Faith
The surrender of life’s journey is that we don’t possess the Key
We don’t determine the path
We don’t decide the roadmap
We can’t control the when and why

For Hearts of Faith
We Trust God or we don’t
We share our pain with the one who Created Us
We ask, we have the hard conversations for the one who knows the Heart
Who knows the road behind
Who holds the route for the path ahead

Is the door unlocked?!

In the midst of not knowing Why
From a Heart that is filling up with tattoos 
Allow me to share
I decided that my Rest is in my Creator
And
While I walk doing the best I can in the decisions made daily
This heart no longer checks doors that I have no keys to


What does this Heart Have
This Heart 
Has being Grateful and doing all the special offered to this heart
On this New Day Gifted to this Heart

Is the door unlocked?!

Until Next Time
From my Heart to Yours
The invitation is to not worry about all the weeds that may surround us
The work is to continue to plant the Gratitude Seeds that we can
Allow the work of planting seeds that have the potential to Grow
To overtake the weeds that always will be there


Choosing the View
Trusting in the God that this Heart has walked a few miles with now
Choosing to Live, to Love to fill the room with Laughter
Every chance this heart afforded

Is the door unlocked?!
Thank you for listening
Thank you for being here

Thank you for Heart Traveling this Journey with this Heart
Living Heart Inspired Moments

Hugs,
Donyale

The Sun is Rising...Can you see it?!

The Sun is Rising
​

Can you see it?!

This heart awakened to the thought this day about how tragic moments, challenging moments, the journey of those hearts who are currently walking through concerns or circumstances that bear weight on the hopeful road ahead, that robs joy for the present-day gifted. That offers the agenda of anxiety or thoughts of defeat, all of which are out to Rob the gift called this day. 

The Sun is Rising
​

Can you see it?!

I don’t know if you’ve had the opportunity to see a Sun Rise, the Sunset, or maybe both…It is such a beautiful experience.  For this Heart, it embodies that Beautiful is a Language; from just this alone, it speaks volumes of what a New Day offers as it begins and as it comes to a close.

The Sun is Rising
​

Can you see it?!

In considering the road heart traveled to the present day…

The tearful moments, tragic moments, and disappointing or challenging seasons in many ways allowed this heart to see the Sun Rising, to appreciate the Sunsetting, and recognize all that encompasses a new day. 

All that is offered as an opportunity to love on those who surround this heart’s life and the privilege to offer a smile to the hearts of strangers by sharing the heart, sharing images, words, audio, video, by just a passing smile along the road traveled in the marketplace, offering peaceful moments. Being mindful, where patience is needed, offering no judgment zones, for this heart, is fulfilling for reasons of my own and is a gift to the heart who receives it as a potential Gratitude seed that offers an opportunity to grow within, an opportunity for the heart who receives and then chooses to pass it forward.


This is Making Gratitude Contagious, this exercise offers personal fulfillment, this work allows potential seeds to grow and to share. Thank you to the hearts who have traveled a distance now with this heart, who together we live daily “infecting” as many hearts with Gratitude as possible. 

The Sun is Rising
​

Can you see it?!

Reflecting that maybe the smile to a stranger offers more than the heart that gives it away will ever know.  Grateful to be Grateful offers gifts to the hearts of others. 


This heart sees…
The faces of other hearts, some that have joyful smiles, embody laughter and joy.


This heart sees…
The troubled faces, the concerns and worries that show up on the face, and or are shared by the words spoken allowing the heart to vocalize with other hearts, releasing the stress of what is trying to remain hidden within. 



The Sun is Rising
​

Can you see it?!

This share is why living Grateful, and exercising Gratitude daily is vital, for this heart embraces allowing the heart to reflect on the road behind, to consider the hopeful road ahead and that includes the priceless treasure of being alert, being aware of this New Day gifted and being alert to what that means.  


This Gratitude Awareness is not just pretty words being shared.   

This heart knows “firsthand” that Gratitude Robs Regret and living and exercising in that allowed after the healing from painful places not to be left with Regret. 

The Sun is Rising
​

Can you see it?!

Exercising Gratitude
Allows every moment that is offered, a heart opportunity that allows a choice, a decision, to operate from love, from a peaceful place.  


Gratitude is empowering 



This heart is not sharing Easy 
And
Chooses not to focus on being hard



This heart has found fulfillment in bringing awareness
In reminding Your Heart that nothing remains the same


No matter where you reside, the season, the mountaintop, it is not a moment you can lock down, that you can possess, that you can repeat.



No one promised Us that tomorrow
will look the same as Today




Words that for this Heart Matters


Consider,
When we string moments daily of living Grateful

It changes our conversation
It allows laughter to flow throughout
It welcomes Gratitude as the salutation
Hugs become the norm


"Love You"
become warm words as a departure in any given moment
The Sun is Rising
Can you see it?!
Dear friend,

The door is always opened
The welcome mat of Love is always out
You’re welcome to travel this Heart Journey
Living Heart Inspired Moments with this Heart


Hugs,

Gratitude is NOT "Either-Or"...

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
