How can we have Gratitude this day
and
​Not get Stuck
in a Chapter along Life's Journey

This was inspired by the thought of a "Slippery Slope" these two words can so easily become the slope.  When I consider these words it implies that the simplest thing,
a mold hill,
can so easily become a mountain.



Life
Life
Life is such a precious, priceless commodity and every day has become an exercise to not take one moment for granted.  

Along my journey, I have found every defining moment becomes another precious stone, a lesson on what really matters along my journey.

My prayer is that you can find this precious stone called "Peace"
It will change your life forever #LivingInsideOut


​
Thank you for watching,
Thank you listening,
Thanking you for traveling this unfamiliar journey with me.  

When you know your Why. 
When you awaken to this precious commodity called "life" you no longer spend or invest energy on things that are "just noise" or "shiny objects" designed to Distract

When you become Eagle Eyed Focus, the gift is patience and to keep your eyes "daily" on what really matters

How can we have Gratitude this day

Why did I Blog Share That?!

One Thought should not define a Journey

This share started by this
"MGC" Mug that was shared on the previous share,
Take a Moment with Donyale

​As I was sharing this cup, I shared that it was not to make anyone feel obligated but instead to expose, to bring awareness that it is an Eagle call product.  

Then, I wondered Why?!
I felt the need to share ... "that it was not to make anyone feel obligated"
Why assume such a thing?!

Then it came to me, that the concern, the thought was that 'I'm selling" and that concern came from previous experience and or stories previously shared by others.



Wow,
consider the subtle expressions, words and conversations that trigger prior experiences and this really can be applied to so many areas in our life, most of us are in this Social Media Village, we connect and come together for many reasons and Yes, some of us have products or services attached to our brand, it is the resources that represent us in the marketplace,  It is the very thing that brings awareness to what we do



Why did I Blog Share That?!

​One Thought should not define a Journey


My Truth is to bring awareness to any and everything that represents this community, our community.  Helping Build Bridges Across, this community also has a brand that connects with purpose and for most of us there is a work, which will include many things "that represent that" and when we connect,
we wear, we share, we support the work




**The Point, everything shared can't be pre-wrapped, or presented
as if one size fits all, it is a space to just share any and everything and those who connect to that will move on that which moves the heart to and is led to do.


We all know, 
Everything will not resonate with everyone but it should be shared with everyone so that those who do connect will have awareness
it will not connect to everyone, no matter who we are, what we do, our experience,
our truth, our share will not resonate with everyone. 
Again, that is what makes our differences "beautiful"


​
Differences is a "beautiful" thing in my book, because we are different.  
Difference means we will have "momentary visits" and "chapters" and "seasons" that we share with some and then we have a check in visit with some from prior history,
or some present day that we will travel with for a season because
of a shared interests or a connection.
There will be some that we will connect
and travel together for a distance because we are traveling in the same direction.


​
There is not one way and that can be a beautiful thing

Why did I Blog Share That?!

​One Thought should not define a Journey
My concern apparently was someone feeling obligated and I realized that as with anything shared, I can't control what someone else feels or assumes.  Right?!



My truth is that I'm working, I have a Pursuit, I'm working and tending a garden because I'm led to and that does require many hands, many voices to work with me.  We all play a part and I recognize that those connected to this village, some since Day 1, starting online in "2014" and it reminds me of a song", along this journey I've shared long enough that at this point most know my heart. 

The song that I'm thinking of is
"if you don't know me by now you will never know me"
by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes

My minor revision
If you don't know my intent now by the things that I've shared
you will never know me. 



My work is to share was is lodged within, this is my punch back to the evil that kicked down my door and I can't and will not apologize for building focused on that.

My heart is that you Get In Where You Fit In, there is nothing to small or too large.  I do have an Ask and this Garden needs work, some will be on the Front Lines with me, some will be on the side supporting the work, some will visit on occasion and any of
That is all Good and I"m very Grateful


There is nothing too small, there is nothing too large.  



The Ask

Is to simply do "What is Lodged in Your Heart to Do".  You are never obligated but my work is to Expose and to Make Aware on "How to Work this Garden"
here at Helping Build Bridges Across

Along this Journey, I'm accountable to My Why and to What my Heart leads me to do
This door is open, all are welcome, it is a Buffet Table find what can be asset to you
or someone you know and leave the rest behind
​

There is an Eagle Call...
My Ask is to Get in where your Heart Fits In

I recognize everything is not for everyone but I learned early...
You don't know what you don't know unless someone shares it with you

Why did I Blog Share That?!

​One Thought should not define a Journey

All are welcome but there is a call for Eagles
Eagles know that we use the Strong Winds to Rise Higher
Eagles know the work is not just what happened but how we can be a blessing
to someone else with it that matters

Eagle Hugs,
Donyale

Grow Where You Are Planted

Such beautiful words

While shopping, I came across this "tumbler" with these words printed on it, along with plants and flowers that just grabbed my attention and I knew it was a part of the journey, it would be what inspired this "Take a Moment"

Take a Moment
The image the words....started this share

Again,
Consider the depth of these very words
"Grow Where You Are Planted"

#MakingGratitudeContagious is always the intent

No One Said Easy...
Change for some is not easy to embrace, it's not comfortable, it's not familiar but it is a part of our Life's Journey

Change your Perspective, Change Your Life
Allows us to take the reigns of "our thoughts" and decide that we can not change most things

But we Can
But we Can

Decide what to do with it

Together we can decide to...

Grow Where We Are Planted

#MakingGratitudeContagious is always the intent 

Can we have a little Conversation?!

#MakingGratitudeContagious is always the intent 

Welcome to the Journey
Thank you for connecting
​Thank you for Planting Seeds of Gratitude

#MakingGratitudeContagious is always the intent 

#MakingGratitudeContagious is always the intent 

Just Have a Little Patience

Running, Running, Running

Have you ever considered to where...

Some Live never appreciating the "Page" they have now, always rushing to the next page, as if there is a landing page

Just Have a Little Patience

#MakingGratitudeContagious is always the intent 

Who promised "tomorrow" will look the same as today

How Do You Have Peace In A Storm?!

No One Said Easy, not sharing Answers, sharing a Perspective.
Helping Build Bridges Across is a Buffet Table, take what can be an asset and leave the rest behind.

"When", not if a storm hits, you are left with what lives inside.
Exercising Peace within may never be mastered but we all have a choice to Exercise. Exercising Peace allows Calmness in the midst of a storm to find "Resolution"

How Do You Have Peace In A Storm?!

There is no answer, but my shared perspective is to seek and to find what you are willing to die on because that belief, that focus will determine what you are you willing to live on.

That focus will determine your conversations, your words and your actions "daily"

No One Promised Us that Tomorrow will Look the Same As Today
and for "some" it determines
how we live daily

No One Said Easy and now that we know that we each decide daily our Focus.

Can We Dance?

Can we dance in our differences
Can we dance in having different experiences 
Can we dance with “love” as our foundation


Can We Dance?

Can we dance appreciating the “vibe” of someone else that is not the same 


Can we dance "listening" more than talking in conversation that offers a different view


Can we dance that there will always be distractions
that are always attempting to steal our focus and joy


Can we dance knowing that we will not agree on everything



Can We dance?

I may not understand 
I may not resonate with your steps
I may not know Your Story behind your Smile or Anger 
I may not know Your Why

But 
I respect that you have a voice 

Can we just dance knowing that we all have to decide on...

The dance partner that we choose to be along this journey
Bringing Joy, Peace, Laughter and Love to any room or space we encounter

Always A Choice



Can We dance?

We get one along this path, always a choice to be
An Asset or Liability 


Not Sharing Answers
Sharing a Perspective


​
Can We Dance?

Dance of Love
Dance of Compassion
Dance of an Empathetic Heart 

Dance of one who recognizes the "Hourglass" along this journey



Can We dance?

Can we dance in our differences
Can we dance in having different experiences 
Can we dance with “love” as our foundation



Can We dance?
