Heart check ♥ Wednesday.

Just checking on your heart, beloveds.

How are YOU doing? I hope your day is going well.

The cold here is melting my brain 🧠. Yep, it’s sooooooo cold my mind has numbed.🥶

I had some inspiration rattling around, but it has to thaw out. In the meantime, I just wanted to encourage someone.

Tik Tok and the internet is full of nothing but gloom. Don’t despair. Live your life. Life is more than Tik Tok. Put down the phone. Since you have the phone 📱, call someone and have an actual conversation!

Have a 🥗 salad. Follow up with chocolate 🍫…lol.

Be encouraged. Things will be okay.

Note: We fight on…

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Take your focus off what you fear so you can see.

I can see!

I can hear!

I can receive!

For so long, beloveds, I couldn’t see straight. I couldn’t think clearly. Why? Because ALL I had been focusing on were my fears.

I focused on what I had lost.

I focused on what I had still to lose.

I focused on all the what if I nevers.

It took months of fighting, of standing, of refusing to give way to fear, to teach me how to stand on FAITH.

In so doing, I found SURE footing.

Be encouraged. Stop worrying about those pesky waves. Stay in the boat. You SHALL make it to the other side.

Let’s embrace the journey, eh?

Move.

I’m ready.

I’m ready to move forward. I just don’t know which direction to face.

Do I go left? Do I turn right? Do I yield? Do I stop and wait?

Ack.

EVERYTHING in me wants to MOVE. My heart wants to go somewhere. She always has. I have been afraid of her. She is afraid of nothing. She is ready to do whatever it takes.

I don’t want to disappoint her. I want to make her proud.

I’m ready to move…FORWARD. I have no idea what’s up ahead. I’m ready to find out.

Are you? It’s time for us to move in 2025. Let’s go, beloveds. We got thangs to do.

Move. FORWARD.

I have questions.

I have questions:

Can I?

Should I?

Will they?

Will He?

Won’t they?

What if…?

Ah, beloveds, questions have rousted me out of fitful dreams. I have so many of them now.

Can’t I?

Would they?

Do they?

How can it?

Do you know? If so, let me know. 2024 left so much loss. 2025 beckons. It winks. It whispers there is much joy to be found there.

Ah, beloveds, what if I can’t?

Leave it there.

Past mistakes.

Leave them there.

In the past.

The past lives only in our minds.

Wrong choices.

You were wrong.

Forgive yourself.

Move on.

Right what you can.

Let the rest, rest in the past.

Leave it there.

Chances not taken.

Those chances can no longer be taken.

Walk away.

Move away from the regret.

Leave it there.

Set the standard. BE the standard.

Have you ever heard the saying that says “the standard is the standard?”

Mike Tomlin, the head coach for The Pittsburgh Steelers, uses this phrase all the time. It’s true. The standard IS the standard.

This means that there IS no excuse for not getting things done. You get things done. Period. You do things to the highest order. Period. You do things with excellence. Period.

I am doing my utmost to set the standard in my life. Period. I am doing my level best to BE the standard. Period.

We all have the opportunity to have and make a tremendous impact. Get to it…lol.

Nuff said, beloveds. Now, get out there and present your priceless self to the world.

Enough hiding!

Enough judging yourself!

Enough making yourself a transaction!

You are precious. You have no need to bow your head in shame.

Ah, beloveds. Look up. Stand tall. Walk proudly. Stride unapologetically.

There is sooooooooooooo much awesomeness in you. There is so much love in you. There is so much strength in you.
