Moments Matter
Moments Matter It is so easy to allow words to become a “cliché” To be just flung around or embraced “for seconds” and then so easily tossed Returning to routines or accepting what can be weighted, miserable, or just business as usual. Moments Matter That is why this Heart Exercises Gratitude Why is Gratitude the Intent?! Yes, I like some have plans, intent, hopeful prayers for long life, and all that it includes This heart considers… Wherever I land and or arrive amongst plans made, goals set and achieved. Those landing places are moments that allow “wonderful celebrations” But I recognize they will be a Moment they will never become a place where I can reside forever Life is continual It is always changing And The power of Gratitude is that your Heart can decide to allow it to travel alongside Allowing it to become your focus Exercising until it becomes a reflex This Heart recognizes this journey Is Not a destination, life is continual, always changing The observation I’ve made is that some of us have that stair on a staircase that we are focusing on that when we arrive then this. . .then what?! You know, many of us also get “stagnated” because we may have that list of when things are like this, or life offers more time for this. That it will be come this. . . Become what?!
Moments Matter
Dear Friend,
the gift of Gratitude, is like creating a bracelet adding different charms, different ones are added one at a time. That to me is why “moments matter” it takes one added charm, a moment, appreciating the beauty, the uniqueness or something special that represents a moment being added to that bracelet being created. A bracelet filled with charms being added from Every Moment Moments Matter Moments are not destinations, they are moments that are offered to us every single day in very minuscule ways and at times in a much larger way they are conversations they are encouraging words they are peaceful moments they are peaceful silence they are reflections they are doing just to do they are saying Thank You for... Moments that when they are all gathered at “some point” this road traveled will become a Priceless Journey of The many wonderful moments of what Gratitude has provided At Least for This Heart
Moments Matter
From a Heart that Knows Exercising Gratitude allows Beautiful Moments and Beautiful Moments allow ‘us’ to Rob Regret In closing, If you are hurting, please get the help you need, get the oxygen first so that you can help others breathe Gratitude Matters This Heart doesn’t share answers, it shares a Perspective Take what can be an asset from this “Heart Buffet” My sharing of “anything” is always without obligation. My ask, for the heart who is asking. . . If something pierces your heart, or means something to you. . .Simply Share it! Simply support or spread it
Hugs,
Donyale
It Just Heart Resonates. . .
It Just Heart Resonates
This Heart doesn't pretend to have it all figured out and is very clear from those things experienced don't expect to... Not sharing answers, sharing a Heart Perspective What this Heart has gained “to date” is the road that has been traveled and chosen lessons from what is behind and choosing to carry forward for the road before me. Living Intentional, exercising being alert to choices before me, and knowing it is much more than just about me. It Just Heart Resonates To be engaged and embrace the moments by “taking part in” conversations, singing the song, sharing the story, listening more than just talking, appreciating the beauty that unfolds in a “shared moment” with the hearts that this heart has the privilege to engage in any given moment and on any given occasion.
Along my daily travels being aware of those around me, knowing there is always time to scroll, create, write, read or watch something later. Instead choosing to observe my surroundings, alert to expressions and faces that outwardly wear thoughts within.
To be peacefully present while waiting in line until it’s my turn To push my basket back into the carrier instead of leaving it wherever it lands To call the person who God continues to place on my heart To accept I may not know why or if it even made a difference but to “just do” because it was on my heart to It Just Heart Resonates
My Dear Friend,
We have now and anything else is just speculation A big stepping stone is moving past “intend to” and just taking the first step towards… Don’t wait until this. . . before you take a family vacation Or spending time with your children To spend time with a friend To place a call or send a text “just because”
We may master many things but what can we do with what we have learned?!
It Just Heart Resonates
This heart no longer focuses on what is “easy” and that includes not being centered on what is “hard” Exercising Gratitude daily, with the intent of it being a Reflex, being a Heart’s first reaction with words and by actions. God whispers because He is So close when you listen and are led to. . . “Simply Do” The Why doesn’t really matter, who knows about it, should not really be a concern if it is a “good thing” with a true intent “to do” that “for this heart” is what really matters. It Just Heart Resonates Don’t allow the Mountain, to distract, to hinder, the next “to do”. Just do is taking the “first step”, it is the first chop at the mountain. Until Next Time. . . Take Care Hugs, Donyale

"Words Matter"
Words that speak volumes for "this heart"
Making Gratitude Contagious was, is and always will be the Intent
"My Why" is not for Sale
Freedom Is. . .
"My Why" is not for Sale
Once you locate “freedom” and recognize this journey started “alone” and will end the same way. For some, at least this heart, the view has shifted. Perspective "In this Chapter" has been revised.
This heart is not looking for permission on “Why” I do what I do. This heart is not looking for validation from anyone. This heart is not looking to convince someone to connect, this is a "Heart Project" shared with Kindred Hearts 'who connect' and are not in need of convincing. We all have to make the decisions that we choose to live with, in fact, decisions that we are willing to die on. Freedom is not selling anyone on a personal belief, or why this or why that. Freedom is doing what "one heart" is led to do, and I've describe that as the Heart of an Artist, filled with things to share. This Heart can be filled with things lodged within and simply want to share as "an asset", as an offering on a "Heart Buffet". The listener, the reader, the observer will decide what to sample and what to feast on, or not. The Heart of an Artist, finds fulfillment in sharing what is lodged within. Where God delivers it, who will receive it is God's Business. When You Know Your Why, you "just do", you release what is and that can be defined as fulfillment. "We All Have a Choice" and decisions are made daily. When we locate something that we don’t agree with. We have a clear option, to move on, especially when our view is not being asked for or inquired of. If it doesn't resonate with you, it really is okay to not be engaged and to move on to where your heart finds fulfillment. Freedom is recognizing that we possess a precious commodity called “Time”, a commodity that can so easily be taken for granted by being caught in subtle ways, in “webs” of someone’s view or discussion. Distractions are Time Robbers, at least for "this heart" and can be presented in so many ways and can take up so much time, I've often described it as rabbit hole, endless hours spent something that started as a distraction. Most of us, have possession of a mirror, and with that premise, who really has time to share a list of what someone else should be doing, when most hearts recognize the work needed resides within. This heart would venture to share, to consider that who really has their life “all put together”, has it all figured out, respectfully, if that is "you" then please share what that looks like . Until Next Time. . . Consider, "Our Why" is not for Sale Most Know, but this Heart will continue to state, this is Not sharing answers, it is sharing a Heart Perspective. Take what can be "an asset" from this Village Heart's Buffet, and simply leave the rest behind.

For Those Hearts who have traveled a distance With this Heart YOU KNOW This Heart is not Sharing Answers This Heart Shares a Perspective From the Miles Traveled to Present Day From My Faith From the Tears, the Laughter, the Change that life has presented to “present day” From a Heart That Knows And Chooses To Share Every Day in Numerous Ways “Gratitude Always Robs Regret” When Life Changes When Life Changes When Life Changes Not If Not If When When When Life Changes Like a Book Filled with Many Chapters Every Day Will be another page written It will be Pages Written from many Moments By the Words By the Decisions, We Have “Decided” to Make Life will Change Many Times Life will Change Many Times And If We Can We can embrace and make the most of each day Being aware of that Exercising In That Making the Best Choices that We can We Choose To Make Decisions on What Really Matters “Every Single Day” These Words when Exercised I Promise… Will decide our Words Will decide our Actions Will decide if we add oil to a Fire Or Offer Peaceful Silence If Nothing Else We Always a Choice We Travel with Many But We Will Always Be Accountable to One Hugs, Donyale

Not What’s Missing. . .What do you do with what you have?!
This share is Inspired by my Baby Brother, of course not a baby, but the endearing words that I’ve attached to him. He currently resides in a different state located many miles away. But We touch base as often as possible For that alone, this Heart is very Grateful And During a recent check-in He mentioned that he had intended to prepare a certain meal only to find out A certain ingredient was missing for meal Plan A, Now because of that “missing item” would shift to Meal Plan B The Inspiration, the Love that filled this heart, "is the Shifting Factor" It is whatever is before us That allows us to decide what to do with it What do we do with what we have now?! My heart was instantly filled with how this fits into what I live on, what I share, what I choose to exercise in. . . The Focus The Focus The Focus The Focus is not what is missing, it is for this heart What do we do with what we have now?! Instead of FOCUSING On and Sharing with whomever is listening Always about what is missing in your life?! These words really matter to this Heart Because It represents the choice we confront every day, in every moment “Living Fully” in every moment “gifted” to us It is not waiting on that certain moment It is not determined when arriving at a certain destination It is not being stagnated or weighted by what was When Hope exists IT IS For This Heart Connected to ‘right now’ and Exercising Gratitude in What Is Right Now?! From a Heart that Knows Living Inside Out, Peace within is priceless FOCUS Is not centered on EASY FOCUS Is a CHOICE, Always a Choice This Heart Knows That the Gift is located in Right Now The Gift is located in every moment, in every opportunity To share a smile To share in Laughter with those we love Every opportunity "afforded" to us Beautiful is having a heated debate about any Topic And Not allowing that debate to end on walking away offended We don’t have to agree The gift is being able to have the conversation Without being angered or so easily offended It really is okay To Agree to Disagree and Continue Forward Life offers so many things It is the View It is the Perspective Recognizing that as we Journey Together It’s a Choice Always a Choice That while we Travel with Many Only You Only I Only We can decide the ‘choices’ that we will make We can choose to Celebrate every moment afforded to us Every Opportunity That a “Breath” offers Not What’s Missing. . . What do we do with what we have?! This heart “lived” that way This heart lives this way Choosing to Exercise in that way Not Focused on what is Easy Not concerned about what can’t be changed “this day” Intentional Living Making choices daily of the words And The actions that this heart chooses Dear Friend This is what allows our Hearts to Rob Regret Because For Some, We Know What Really Matters Every Single Day When Life Changes Not If But When It will not be centered on what’s missing Instead a Peaceful Heart that Cherishes all things Experienced Because we chose our intention daily We Exercised Gratitude Daily We Focused on What Really Matters Daily Living In What Really Matters That is What is meant when this Heart Shares From a Heart that Knows Gratitude Robs Regret Not What’s Missing… What do we do with what we have?!

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 From the Village of “Helping Build Bridges Across” A village that started on day one, with an opportunity to Share Building Bridges from our Generation to the next This village started with who knows where this road will lead… Could these steps be ordered in a direction?! A Heart that if nothing else is known, “Knows the Why” For the "heart" who wants more...

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

It is not just about how "we" feel?!
Any project that begins
Any commitment Any intent Any determination to make a change Starts off much easier, the first step, it is the beginning The Start Begins with a Focus For some with "a detailed plan" For some with the determination to just take the next step
It is not just about how "we" feel?!
It is not just about how "we" feel?!
We begin with a Focus
A Starting Point We move forward We have the "Hopeful Route" for the road ahead The Challenge Is the Dips in the Road The Unexpected Detours The Re-Routes The Unfamiliar Roads The Many Voices, Who Seem to Speak Often and really never seem to Know "Our Why or Our Heart" The Many Voices, who have Familiar Faces but Appear to Speak a Different Language Those are the moments, the places that confronts the journey The moments that will present us with an opportunity to Re-Focus To Rise above those Pressure Points Pressure Points that do "exist" and will visit our Focus, our Journey The Work, the Exercise is to "Rise Above" the moments To Rise Above is the work To Rise Above is the Exercise "in the moments"
It is not just about how "we" feel?!
If it was Easy Then Everyone Would Do It Right?!
No One Said Easy
To Continue Forward It will Require Focus It will Require Taking a Pause Recognizing and Determining Who Can and Who We Will Allow to Travel "closely" alongside the Road Ahead
It is not just about how "we" feel?!

What has you distracted?
Sharing what can so easily become a hindrance and in many ways, an obstacle. I like to look-up definitions on words, with most words, we may know what they mean, the general idea. When you look up the definition, at times it will pinpoint and describe a current situation. In my situation, having the heart of an artist, something within wants to be shared, expressed and for those who have traveled a distance knows, it is always with the intent of Making Gratitude Contagious. Exercising, Exercising my, your, our Focus on what really matters. Daily.
What has you distracted?
You can be Focused on something, you can be in the zone with an Intent to complete something and it is "subtle thing" that can create a "distraction" and you are off in another direction. It can be a thought, it can be a thing, it is a distraction. Distraction Defined: A Thing that "prevents" from giving full attention to something else. Extreme agitation of the mind or emotions. Those two definitions are an arrow, they zoom right in on what it means to be Focused on something that matters, that is a good place, a place of intent. Then a "distraction"
What has you distracted?
The gift is being "aware", it is being "alert" to those subtle things that creep in and take your day in a whole different direction.

For those of you sharing this journey with me, here at "Helping Build Bridges Across"
Thank you for being here. My "Thank You" is that you can be in a number of places, and taking a moment with me, is appreciated. The Focus, the intent that most of you are aware of is "Making Gratitude Contagious". Please Listen, something will always attempt and in some cases achieve, grabbing our attention, creating hours upon hours, focused in some cases on “nonsense”. My heart is to live Transparently, it doesn’t mean every question asked of me will be answered, in some cases, it may be a response of “I’m not at liberty to speak about that”, which translates, I haven’t given time or thought to it and I don’t want to just reply out of the need to just respond. It also means that every story is not to be shared, because it includes many others, and it is not fair, to decide for them "by sharing". I AM Offended. . . Recently, it was shared with me that someone was offended, years ago, it seemed because they were not acknowledged. In this case, it was a moment of being in the same shopping mall, and the person shared they looked right at me and I didn’t seem to acknowledge them. Notice, I used the word “years”, let us for a moment consider that time frame. A Year = 365 days Noting, that the person who shared this, mentioned this had happened “a few years ago”. 365 days multiplied by 3 = 1095 days wasted on being offended, instead of sending a text, making a phone call, if it was that important to address; Time Robber I AM Offended. . .
For the record, I don’t remember seeing anyone that I purposely “did not acknowledge”, it is not in my character, not because I’m some great, in control person, it is just not a place that I wrestle with. I have challenges like all of us, this is just not one of them.
I'm the person who will speak to anyone, and even if “years ago” some petty, nonsense reasons that an association went awry, traveling the road now, arriving “to this date” of this post, those kinds of reasons no longer hold weight. Life is too precious and time is too short, to invest so much into “an assumption”, to live burdened, questioning “why” someone is offended, does not quite equate in my mind, it does not make sense to me. I refuse to give it any space, any time, and any investment. My heart does not want to be robbed of Time. We often live as if, tomorrow is a guarantee filled with the same options in our lives “this day”. The appearance presented, is that we have plenty of time to set things straight, to apologize, or get back on track with a person. Life has a funny way of providing the appearance of what “a lifetime means”. . .The amount of time that a “lifetime” is measured by?! In Closing, If I could give anything to anyone from this share, it would be to not allow "nonsense" to set a trap for your journey. To not allow the small or in some cases the large things to become your anchor, your daily focus, your chain attached to your ankle. Don’t allow life to set a trap of offense, so when, “not if”, things change, you will not be left in that location called “Regret”. The Location called "Regret", it is a real trap when you live "offended". I AM Offended. . .
Consider, there are numerous reasons a person can be distracted, could walk right past you and not speak. It is numerous reasons, why someone didn’t return a call the same day or attend an event.
There are many stories behind a Smile Someone received some news that changed their life in an instant Some are battling circumstances “daily” that they never share out loud Some are reassessing the season of life they are currently in Some just received news about a loved one or a dear friend Some are weighted by obligations and or what now The list is endless. . . The Point, is instead of living “offended” do what is needed to have Peace “in your heart”. If it is something that can be addressed by a conversation, then have the conversation with the intent, “to not escalate the issue” but instead the hope to find a resolution. Reside that Peace will be your approach, and even if it means there is no solution, or idea outcome. Your journey, your intent remains that you did what was needed to have “Peace” for your heart, and then like all of us, we have to just continue forward. I AM Offended…
I AM Offended…
I have a list of things that I could reference that have been said, or done, or behavior that appeared odd to me, in the moment. Time, experience, things that matter have taught me to love them anyway. We may not share the same view, the same belief, or have had the same experiences, or travel the same road forward, but for "some" we have decided. We "WILL NOT" Live Being Offended.
Are You Offended?!
Is there a work you need to do, to find your Peace, to take hold of the days that are “gifted” to you?! ~ Questions for only your heart to Answer ~
Like a Book...
Like a Book...
For me sharing in this way, doesn't make me sad, maybe it comes from the road traveled to this date, that has taught me how precious "life" is, and teaches me how to be very grateful to "be aware of that fact". Awareness determines my words, my actions, and my decisions "daily". Life is a gift, and each new day my intent is to not take that for granted. I continue forward with awareness of that, including from numerous examples along my life's journey. I live daily "exercising" in Gratitude, knowing that my book does have a closing chapter too. I know firsthand and choose to share that living with "Gratitude" does and will "rob regret". This is a Heart Knows firsthand, that exercising Gratitude, being appreciative allowed me to Rob Regret. To know more, to learn more that is found under "Living In My Truth" My shares are not about being easy, and not focused on being hard either. Instead, for me I'm driven in living "fulfilled" and that includes taking what I've walked through and sharing that "as a perspective". I don't provide answers, like you I'm walking life's journey daily, I share my perspective from what I have experienced and my thoughts on that. My heart is that you take what can be an asset for this day, to equip for tomorrow and continue forward. My purpose, my focus is to continually seek daily a relationship with my Creator, not centered on rituals of a religion. I want to know God more and My intent is to live loving "this day" and having "awareness" of a hopeful tomorrow with an opportunity to continue in my intent. Sharing love with all those who surround me and for those I encounter and including this village where I share. Faith in God, has been my leaning board, it has been my refuge, and it has not ever been just about a Religion, it is about a "Relationship" with the Potter who created this Clay. My help is in Him and this I clearly know. The comfort in that, is that I did not create myself, so who would better know me, who understands my heart when it's difficult to share it, who knows the road before and who understands the road behind. God is my comfort for that and numerous more reasons. More than words, it is an experience, like any relationship that grows, or you trust in, that is developed from experiences, from being familiar. This is the walk I've found, not by "just" what I've read but by my "direct" experiences. In fact, I sum it up as "I'm living" on what I'm prepared for my book to close on. That means something to me, it allows me to determine the investment into what surrounds me or to what I allow to grab my attention. It allows me to determine the invitations that I choose to accept or not, of drama or peace. My choice. Always a choice. My book has a "Hopeful Heart" for many more chapters, that are lived full on the Grace that My Creator has taught me belongs to me, to my journey. Again, this is not a Share of "being easy". I define it as "an exercise" of Gratitude daily. I recognize and understand completely, to know something and to possess something is two very different things. I choose daily on where to place my focus, it is a work, it is an exercised decided by continual "choices" daily. Like a Book... My invitation to "YOU", is to "find" what can be an asset for "this day" and for the "Hopeful Road Before You". Exercise your Focus on those areas that bring you Peace, that allow you to set aside those areas that you can't change in the moment, so why carry that worry and anxiety "all day". In calmness, peace within, it allows you to consider options on what needs to be done, it allows you in the midst of that have peace in your home. This is an exercise, words are not magic and thinking great thoughts one time doesn't cover the whole week. It is a "daily" work, a focus on what the day before you will be. It is your intent and in most cases, that intent will determine your words and your actions. The intent of this Share, and all shares really, is to just "say it" and to allow you to decide what can be an asset for you, to decide what you can do with it and to find the part that Inspires you, Encourages You, or just simply provides "A Hug" to you. My Faith, this Village is centered on "Love", my intent is not to decide who you are or what you should be. My intent was, is and always will be "Making Gratitude Contagious" and operating in Love. Helping Build Bridges Across is a village that allows conversation, that allows us to respectfully hear each other, and knowing it is okay to agree to disagree. This village has a buffet table and the heart of it, is to take what can be an asset for your heart and "continue forward". The road behind me is filled with so many memories, like a book, chapters of my life filled with joyful moments, tearful moments, hopeful moments, moments where I didn't how things would turn out if not for the Grace of God in my life, celebrations of "new" and challenging places to "press" through. Including those places of a chapter closed. Like a Book...
I'm very grateful for anything you do.
Thank you for being here and for sharing. Hugs, Donyale
"Making Gratitude Contagious" was, is and always will be the intent
Who Has the Golden Ticket?!
We all have our sketch book of what the road behind has taught us, the day that we have "for some" is a gift, and the road before us offers "hope".
For me, every single day is a choice, it is an exercise of Gratitude... In the Midst Of... My favorite words is that "No One Said Easy", to share that my daily exercise is Gratitude for some implies, a New Day to be Grateful and to carry on. Words that appear "simple". Yes, Simple to say, Simple to share, but an exercise, an exercise, a pressing through come what may, a New Day. A New Day offers, distractions, challenges, concerns, inclusive of the waters that surround our journey, and as we pursue going forward means a choice. Exercising daily means, at least "for me" Pressing Through, in the Midst Of... In Spite Of... Even Though... A Choice, a Decision arises "each day" on what the Focus Will Be, on What the Exercise Will Be "This Day"
Who Has the Golden Ticket?!
I love transparency, and just sharing, putting "my truth" on the table. I'm Not sharing Answers, Sharing My Truth, Sharing My Perspective. The words "Who Has the Golden Ticket" in my heart speaks volumes.
All of us have many opinions, you should do this, why didn't they do that... But Who Has the Golden Ticket?!, being transparent, we are all a mixing bowl. A mixing bowl filled with so so many different perspectives, so many opinions. This is not shared to be a downer, but to speak transparent, like our Book Opened, it will Close. These words should have meaning, should allow "us all" to Pause and decide what really matters. These words should determine our Actions towards others, and the words we choose to speak. Who Has the Golden Ticket?! Yvette "Donyale", why share anything?! For me "for some", they need to know that no one has a Golden Ticket "eliminating" them from the Chapter Closing. For me, it means a reminder that we all need to Take a Pause, before we. . . You, I, We travel this journey with many but we are and always will be "accountable to one" and that alone "for some" allows us to choose our Focus, allows us in spite of, to Exercise Daily in Gratitude. Who Has the Golden Ticket?! Live Full Today, choosing Peaceful Places, Grateful Places, Love Places Because... Again Again Again No Promised Us that Tomorrow Will Look the Same As Today For this Heart, knowing that allowed awareness of what really mattered, it allowed "this heart" to Rob Regret.
Many of you, have traveled this journey with me since 2014, "Thank You" Consider, the words of where it began and why, including all the things that have happened along the journey.
For those who have been inspired, My Ask, is to share the inspiration with others, whoever is on your heart right now. This journey is much more than about "you" or "I." Live Heart Inspired is an Inspirational Journal to remind us, to "Take a Pause", the road is much more than about us. It is a choice. It is a Focus, it is an Exercise Daily in Gratitude. From a Heart that Knows "Gratitude Robs Regret" Live Heart Inspired available in Soft Cover and E-book
Who Has the Golden Ticket?!
For Some...
We recognize what really matters "this day" For Some... We took what tried to take away our voice, our hope for tomorrow and do something with it, that would be a blessing to someone else. This voice remains, Living In My Truth... Not someone special, someone who made a choice to do something with the destruction that "in an instant" found me.
If this village has been a blessing, is a blessing, and has provided inspiration and value, My Ask is to bless someone else with bringing awareness.
If and Only if, it has meant or means something to you.
Who Has the Golden Ticket?!
I consider the season that my journey is in, and I'm very comfortable in knowing what "heart matters" to me. I'm not driven so "easily" by the opinion of someone else.
With that stated, and in fairness, I'm also not the young 21 year old girl either, who at one time cared about the voices that surrounded her journey. A 21 year old, who had a very different lens, and a very different view of the road before her. That alone allows me "now" to not draw lines in the sand, or determine what others should do or not. That alone allows me to not "judge others" I have a huge project, that I'm reminded of every time that I look in a mirror. My hope is that the grass of others is very green, but there is so many things that creep in my own yard, that I'm constantly pulling weeds, with a heart that desires instead to "plant more flowers"
This village is a gift, I share what encourages, what inspires, what is not so easy. I share words to consider and to reflect. I define my journey, by "this day" and by the road hopefully before me, as one traveling with "An Artist's Heart".
Why those words... An Artist's Heart For me, it speaks volumes, it means that as an Artist, you are constantly creating from the thoughts within, and you release what "is lodged within", what is seen within. For most artists, they are filled with Hope of what can be. The Freedom in that, is that in this village, Helping Build Bridges Across, started as a simple share from a joyful place. Those same words that began in "2014" revisit my heart often, of why this "online journey began." To learn how it started, please visit the ABOUT page which is added to but began "April 2014", consider those words of where it began, and for those who have traveled quite a distance with me, consider all that has happened between "Then and Now." As a woman of Faith, I believe my steps are ordered, and I don't have it all figured out and before my chapter closes, I don't know If I ever will. I do recognize the priceless treasure of a New Day, and that each day someone was not afforded that gift. For me that's priceless, and my garden continues "Planting seeds of Gratitude. I know "My Why" My garden started as a joyful "hike" and continued through "painful places" which included a decision to do something with those places, and that was not easy. The focus continues, working, planting seeds of Gratitude, that have the potential to grow for a lifetime. That is a treasure to this heart. Now, this village has become a Fulfillment, a Work that is bigger and more than about me, and including I don't know where it will go, and I don't know where it will end. I do know, I will "continue forward" I live daily grateful to my Creator, a relationship, that reveals "beautiful" is located in every day, and yes there is "painful places" but this village is for us to "exercise" in those places, to soar above them. Again "multiple times" an exercise. Challenges, Distractions, Hurtful, Painful Places will travel along the journey. THE EXERCISE is to FOCUS on what "Heart Matters", exercising Gratitude, exercising Peace. Like the Eagle, "by choice", Soaring above the Storm. Did Anyone Say Easy?! I believe the words were Focus and Exercising in what "Heart Matters" Hugs, Donyale "From a Heart that Knows, Gratitude Robs Regret"
This is shared for the one, for the heart who already knows the answer, yet you still choose to ask the questions. This is for the one who chooses to overlook what you already know. Everything is not for everyone, but then there is that which is a special delivery "just for you". What you choose to do with it will always be completely up to you.
A heart that shares what is lodged within, is often described as the heart of an artist. Where it travels and who is connected to it
is always God's Business.
Making Gratitude Contagious is always the intent
Excuse Me; Respectfully this is for "You"
This hits close to home because it reminds me of the "same conversations", the same cycle with those very close to me, who never seem to understand "what really matters". The same issues, the same conversations, it really is a Merry-Go-Round. No matter how many ways you say it, share it, listen to it, like a butterfly, whatever is shared, it is captured for a brief moment, and then flies away, and then the cycle begins again. No, I'm not an expert, and No I have "not mastered" this but what I have done is "exercise daily" and that has allowed my muscles to become stronger; Spiritually, Mentally, Physically and including holding the reigns on my emotions. It does not mean moments don't challenge my journey, it means my muscle is stronger and my Reflex overrides my emotions of nonsense "most times" I will continue to allow the Merry-Go-Round cycle, because I do care, I do love those who are close to me, and maybe it is just venting to a trusted source and from my end, it will not be judged, it will not be retained. A listening ear allows a release to the one sharing. Including, who knows where a "trusted ear" for me, will be needed for the road ahead. I'm not naïve, I recognize that Words are easier said, than taking actions but that is Why I, Why others should consider "exercising" the Peace within. Exercising "daily" on what "really matters". NO ONE SAID EASY, it is a choice, it is an exercise. What can I do with this Merry-Go-Round Cycle?!, I can take it and share it, knowing that a Heart will hear it, and do something with it. I know that in this process it will be shared, and those seeds will continue to Grow. That is truly a blessing. That is taking something and doing something with it "that matters", at least for this heart, I Am Grateful. Excuse Me; Respectfully this is for "You" Why the same questions?!, and Why the same cycle?!, when most who ask already know the answer. Respectfully, change is not an easy road, "for most of us" and truthfully the option in some cases, is not really available, it is the moments that are overwhelming and God Knows what is really needed, including "who" is a "trusted ear" that will not pass judgment, or look for an opportunity to blast someone else business, that may be just enough, but at some point does anyone recognize, as a new book opens, it will also will surely close. That is what allows for "some" to exercise Gratitude Daily. Respectfully, these words, this image "for some" will be enough to allow reflection, will be enough to begin the work, a moment for change, for the work to make a change. These words will penetrate reflection and the work will begin with a local church, or "trusted" professional Help. It will begin a Change, "for some". Excuse Me; Respectfully this is for "You" For some, the roots are much deeper, and if that is "you" there is no shame in that. Please, get the help you need, not later, not tomorrow. Now... Hopeline: 1-800-442-4673 A confidential conversation is always a great start, and including local recommended resources will keep "you" moving forward. Please do what is "best" for YOU. This is not about They, or what someone else would do. Respectfully, this is shared for "You" Excuse Me; Again, Respectfully this is for "You" How Long do "YOU" choose to carry the weights?! Hugs, Yvette "Donyale"
God Knows the Heart. God Knows when no one else gets it. Respectfully, you did not pass by, stop by or connect "by chance". Yes this was written and shared just for "YOU"
#MakingGratitudeContagious is always the intent
The In-Between
Words that in my heart speaks volumes. When my life changed “in an instant” on September 7, 2016, it included a grieving, healing process, and a moment that tattooed my heart forever. A tattoo can be a beautiful thing because it travels with you. A tattoo reminds you of what was beautiful and at the same time what really matters for the day, and the road ahead. It allows “for some” to locate the beauty of each day. Present-day, my perspective, my view has changed or a better word has been “added to”, to carry along, to carry forward. Change is a part of life’s journey, it is not once changed, or shifted, it is a constant change. I choose to receive those things that can be an asset for the road ahead and for those who surround my life. Those I know and those I encounter along the way… What is Precious, What is Priceless, and What really matters “daily”? For those who don’t know the story of “Living In My Truth” and care to know. Simply visit the village. My story is not required, I respectfully recognize that we each have our own story but when someone shares, “in my opinion” it is important to know the intent of why they do what they do. Again just me, I offer the open door to know “the why” Knowing someone’s Why allows insight on Why they do what they do and if it fits your own vibe.
The In-Between
Having many conversations, you quickly realize how we “all” can so easily get lost in things that really don’t matter, or hold enough weight to rob us of our peace, to rob us of a new day that is a gift. For some, we recognize that someone was not afforded that gift “this day” No one hits the mark every time, that includes me, I can easily get distracted and centered on nonsense. It is easy to get distracted by things that don’t really matter, that bring stress and overbearing thoughts of nonsense. The In-Between Consider… How easy it is to go round and round on all the “decisions” that have been made, that is existing in yesterday. No matter the super-hero of the Heart decisions that no one can ever change. The In-Between Consider… Tomorrow, filled with uncertainties, concerns, cares, and anxiety on the known and unknown. The things shared and personally kept near are in “Tomorrow” and what can we do with it today?! Again robs us of the gift called “this day” Now, words are not magic, to know something, to share something doesn’t make it easy. That is Why knowing “our why”, and knowing “our intent” allows us to make choices that serve us healthy within this new day. The In-Between Exercise Exercise Exercising daily in any activity becomes a Reflex. My current exercise is a calm spirit. For me that means taking hold of what matters, taking a pause “when not if” things challenge my day. Challenge of Thoughts, Concerns, and real issues that show their face. From the Calmness allows me to “lookout” at them and not allow them to encompass me, choke me, become a weight. Each new day I ask my Creator... What can I do with This or That?! Or I release My Anxiety, my Cares I Seek Wisdom for all that surrounds me because this road is bigger than me The In-Between I’ve traveled enough miles to know how “days” can be robbed stuck in yesterday, and or worried about Tomorrow. In the scheme of things, I Do Not Control either. So I Exercise I Do What I Can Do “this day” I include “Devotion” in my Day because I Know My Why And I’ve decided to “Embrace, Be Grateful” for This Day Because I Know My Why And I’m Respectful of the Those Who No Longer Have that Choice
The In-Between
This village brings Fulfillment to my Heart but I’m not obligated or sponsored by anyone. I share that because there really is no agenda, there is a Flow Out from the Heart, that returns Flows In and Blesses Me Until Next Time, continue to write great write pages with the gift afforded you of a “new day” Hugs, Donyale For those who want more… Book: Live Heart Inspired Vlog: “In An Instant”
Was, Is and Always Will Be The Intent
Take a photo?!
Have you ever considered when taking a photo that we are capturing a moment, one that will hold memories for a lifetime and can never be recreated again. That in my opinion makes it valuable. It is priceless. When I was younger, their always seemed to be "that one or few", always with the camera, requesting for everyone to come together to take a photo, and I use to make it my business to run away if possible, thinking I don't want to be in any photos My view is quite different today.
Take a photo?!
My view is quite different today, I will gather, I will get in the photo and some are not the greatest looking photos especially when others post them everywhere. However, It is what it is and I'm grateful to those who understood the value of "taking photos", "capturing memories". I did my share of taking them also, I just chose to not be in the photo or video. Which again, I love to do now. Now it doesn't matter, anytime, anywhere. You want to sing a song? Hey lets sing. You want to do a dance routine? Lets do it. The point is when you live with awareness that we possess a precious gift call now, "this day" and recognize that "no one promised us that tomorrow will look the same" It changes our Focus, for some the perspective is to allow the day to start and end with what really matters.
Take a photo?!
We all have the have to and obligations but they don't have to possess us. For most, we do all we can and to maintain peace within we have to let go, table those things we have no control over. This is never about being easy, this exercise is daily, and it is about choosing our Focus. Our Focus always determine our view.
