HeartSpeak - November 25, 2021 Thanksgiving Reflections

Celebrating a day of #gratitude and #thanks ! Sending lots of love and hugs to my family and friends today.

Thinking about our Native American ancestors and brothers and sisters who recognize this as a day of mourning. I truly understand why.

Also thinking of those who are spending today alone. Some by choice and some due to circumstances beyond their control.

I am thankful for #technology and the ability to connect across the miles. This brings families closer on days like today. It truly has come a long way. I remember the days of dial up, the AOL icon and alerts telling you "you've got mail", the screech of a modem trying to connect! Nokias, flip phones, beepers/pagers! 

Everyone deserves access to this technology and the best internet. Imagine if it was you or your kids that could not access it. So much work needs to be done.

I pray we can get it together not only for us, but our babies and grandbabies! They deserve better. WE deserve better. It will take a fight but we must continue to fight, no matter what! Our ancestors fought for us. They shed blood for us.

If nothing else has learned in recent times, recognize EVERY election matters. Do you see how much of your life is impacted by your state and local government? Your mayors, judges, sheriffs, school boards, GOVERNORS, etc... can be the difference between life and death, justice and injustice. Many empty seats at tables today. 😢🙏🏿❤️

Wherever you are today, whatever you choose to do, I send you lots of love and warm thoughts. In all of your cooking and celebrating, take some time to look inward. Are you headed in the right direction? If not, are you going to adjust your  course and get on track? Life will just happen to you, if you let it but there is a lot you can control. It just takes a little effort, sometimes a lot! In the end, it will be worth it! 😉

On this day of #thanksgiving , I wish you a peace that surpasses all understanding, a love that comforts you and life where all of your basic needs are met. May God fill your cups to overflow that you will in turn use to bless others. When given the opportunity, #payitforward in kindness!

Love y'all to LIFE!

Heartspeak 8/23/2020 - Growing Pains

If life got harder, you probably just leveled up. Now is not the time to give up. Now is the time to dig deeper and press harder. Dreaming BIG often requires you to GROW into the person who will achieve those dreams. #Growth is not always easy but necessary. #growingpains 

Not everyone you began this journey with will continue with you. This was one of the hardest lessons for me to learn but I now understand. I now realize it is by design. Not everyone wants to grow. They are content being where they are and that is ok.

We are all born with seeds of greatness within. It is up to us to tap into it. We each have free will and the choice to choose to reach our full potential or not. If you choose to keep going and growing, it doesn't make you a bad person. Not everyone is called to go higher.  Some people are never meant to be a permanent part of your life. Appreciate the time you had. Smile that you had them. 

Make room for connections at each level. Spend time in rooms where you aren't the most successful person.  Read books. Never stop learning. Embrace this wonderful process. Follow your heart. Be kind. Keep dreaming big and growing until those dreams become reality!  These are some keys to creating the life you truly deserve, the life God planned for you. 

Have a blessed day on purpose!

~HeartSpeak~ You Know You've Made the Right Decision When You Have Peace

A peace that surpasses all understanding comes from being connected and having faith in a GOD that is GREATER than any test or trial that comes your way. I call it GOD-fidence! 

1 Corinthians 15:58 instructs us to be stedfast, unmovable, ALWAYS abounding in the works of the Lord. Bottom line, don't let anything stop you from doing what God has called for you to do. Your labor will not be in vain and EVERYTHING God promised will come to pass!

You do your part. Follow His divine instruction, no matter what. Follow, even if it seems impossible to the natural eye. Follow when others laugh at You and don't believe in You. You can't limit God by the world's standards so why are you trying to limit His vision for your life?

Life truly begins outside of your comfort zone. Believe in yourself and trust God's vision for your life. Seek HIS face. You will find your purpose.

I love you all and pray you reach a place of peace and deliverance from what may be causing you discord in your life.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)

5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.



Peace, Love and Blessings Always!

~HeartSpeak~ Sunday- Don't Let Fear Decide Your Future

Fear symbolizes a lack of faith. Are you settling for barely enough because you are afraid to step out on faith and journey toward the promise of "more than enough"?

Get out of your own way and release that stinking thinking that is holding you back. Life can beat you down to a place you no longer remember your dreams IF you let it. It's time to take your power back.

Garbage in results in garbage out. Watch what you expose yourself to. It all matters. You want to increase your vision? Starve your doubts and fears and feed your belief in yourself and God's purpose for your life.

Look within and find ways to tap into your greatness. Be around people who uplift and encourage you, not people who tear others down.

Spend time getting to know the real you and figuring out exactly what you want in life. It's possible to get on track but it won't happen without effort.

Do you really want to change your life? If you do, you will must willing to do something different because doing nothing yields nothing.

How bad do you want it? Too many people sitting around waiting on God while God has been waiting on you. You know what you need to do. The question you need to ask yourself is "Why aren't you doing it?" ‪#‎RealTalk‬‪#‎TimetoGetUnstuck‬ ‪#‎Move‬

~HeartSpeak~ What Energy Are You Releasing into the Atmosphere?

~HeartSpeak~

If  diminishing the other efforts of others and trying to tear them down is what is needed to make you feel better about your life situation and choices, you not only need to take a look in the mirror, you need to examine your heart. Otherwise, why would it matter to you?

The energy you put out will be the same that returns to you. Instead of worrying about others, it's time you start fixing what is wrong with YOU! Be transparent AT LEAST with yourself if you can't be with anyone else. God sees and knows all!

This scripture came to my heart:

1 John 4:18 (KJV) - "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."

God has truly been working and continues to work on me. I view the actions of others with new eyes and meaning. I no longer take it personal and realize in these times of spiritual warfare, there is something greater at work. When we learn better, we should truly do better. God is love. If we learned to abide in love, the world would truly be a better place. Too many of us simply not checking ourselves and doing and saying whatever we please. Every action has a consequence, be it good or bad.

Now, more than ever, it is important to not only plant/sow good seed but the WORDS we speak carry much power! Speak life and love if you want more in your life. Speaking hatred and carrying hatred in your heart is not going to harm the other person. It will only harm and consume you!

Just a little food for thought! Think about it! Take a moment to feel the space you are in within your heart before you release it into the atmosphere! Guaranteed what you put OUT will return to you!

Open Your Eyes, Examine Your Heart

Happy New You family! This is my first post of this wonderful new year. During this time, many people go through a lot of self-evaluation. This was on my heart to share today.

When people SHOW you who they are, believe them. Sometimes we put blinders on or hold on to the potential we may see inside of them. God gives us all free will and we can accept or reject His will or purpose for our lives. Watch out for stumbling blocks. 

The Word tells us in John 10:10 (KJV) "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." Distractions, discord among friends and family, etc... Distractions serve one thing and that is to sap your energy and turn your focus off the things you need to be striving for! 

Once you figure it out, you can still get back on track. We need to continually evaluate our actions and YES, our hearts! When you look in that mirror, you know your full and true intentions and so does God! It's time to be transparent and look deep within. This is what will control how high or low you go in life. 

Guard your gates and examine your hearts! Recognize potential road blocks, call them out and deal with them head on!

Psalm 51:10 (KJV) "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."

Peace, love and blessings!

Walk In Victory

"Anything that does not line up with the vision God placed in your heart should not be seen as permanent but as subject to change."- Joel Osteen

We are powerful beings, not powerless! Sometimes we need help learning to tap into that power. When in doubt, go to the Source, and Creator of all things! Once you change the person you are inside, everything on the outside will change too! As you grow as a person, the things around you tend to grow. Greatness truly does reside in each of us! 

Once you truly grasp this and realize how amazing you truly are and SEE yourself the way God sees you, you become unstoppable! So actually, the only thing stopping you is YOU! Not the person that tries to talk down to you. Fact of the matter is my babies, you never have to accept someone else's perception of who you are! 

When you focus on pleasing man and not God, you give away your power and freedom to walk in His divine will. You also give the same people that lifted you up, the power to tear you down. When God elevates you, not a devil in hell can bring you down! Those trials may come but you pass the test time and time again. You may get knocked down, but you get right back up! 

Something bigger and greater is waiting for you! If you are going through, hold your head up. It gets better! Just keep pressing! Walk in victory and love! Move when God says move and He will take care of the rest! Get what you came here for! 

God bless and much love! ~MzV~ ♥

Brick Walls- It's About Attitude

We all run in to "brick walls" at many points and times during our lives. I have learned that your attitude determines how hard it is to overcome them, rather than the rough place you find yourself .

When you focus on the obstacle itself more than what it will take to break through it, it adds even more hardship. I challenge you to look at the walls in your life not as just an adversity, but how empowered you will feel once you work through the situation. 

Attitude and mindset run hand in hand. With the proper mindset, you are able to keep a more positive attitude about life in general. Have you ever noticed at times where a small thing resulted in you acting in a bigger way than it normally would? Suppose you woke up one morning feeling on top of the world. You tell yourself that you will be happy today, no matter what comes your way. You get to work, your boss does something that you didn't like, but you remain happy anyway because you told yourself, no matter what happens today, I am NOT letting anything steal my joy! Sound familiar? Now, lets reverse this. You get up in a bad, grumpy mood. You don't feel like going to work and you tell yourself "No one better mess with me today. They will get themselves told." You get to work, your boss upsets you. Well, you can just imagine how the rest of the story goes.

We have more power and control over our lives than we give ourselves credit. It all starts with having the right attitude. Sometimes we are faced with adversities (brick walls) as a test of faith or to show how bad we really want something. The truth is, if you have the attitude that you really want something, you will do whatever it takes to make it happen! Adversities build faith muscles! We need only look to the story of the butterfly and the cocoon. Without the pressure of pressing against the cocoon, there would be no beautiful wings. They would not be strong enough for flight. A diamond would not exist were it not from extreme pressure. This is all a part of the process, YOUR process.

Let's think outside of the box for a moment. If you have a dream or a vision and you know the keys to reaching your destiny were behind that wall... what would you do to get beyond the wall? Would you climb it, go above it, around it or find a bulldozer to tear it down?

 

Next time you are faced with an obstacle, instead of focusing on the "brick wall", focus on what is beyond the brick wall! When the desire to achieve what is on the other side of the wall becomes greater than what it will take to get there, it won't be necessarily be easier but you will know it was definitely worth it!

Wishing you all a blessed and happy remainder of your week as we continue to march into a new year!

Peace, blessings and love always!

Until next time....

I am~
