Relationship Wisdom by Coach Denyce Gartrell

And this is a fact. 🎯 I had a friend call me Sunday night, who I hadn’t spoken to in years, however, we laughed and talked as if we hadn’t skipped a beat.

Do you have that person who you can count on to give you those “laughing so hard I’m crying and my belly aches” kind of laughs? 😭

If not, then find another way to incorporate laughter (comedic movies, music, etc), into your days because laughter & peaceful rest are good for the soul.

Don’t ever confuse MEEKNESS for WEAKNESS.

Yes, that’s the message. That’s it. That’s all. 🙌🏾

Yes, it’s true that introverts enjoy their peace, but we can also be the life of the party in that setting. However, what makes us introverts, or extroverts is where we gain most of our energy, and for intro’s that usually happens when we spend time alone

So, we will party with the crowd, but as soon as the party is over, we’re looking to go home and relish in our time alone. Extra’s, on the other hand, is looking for the next party.

What are your thoughts.

If this post resonates with you, give it a like for confirmation. This is the year of TRANSITION. 2 + 2 + 4 = 8. Let’s go!!! 🚀

In my meditative practice, I’ve learned to be a “witnesser”, more than a reactor. (Those who meditate can relate to what this means). And for the past eight days, (1/11), my morning routine has consisted of meditation & yoga with Master Sri from Dubai, who is joined by other like-minded individuals via Zoom from across the globe. 🌍
This has been quite an enlightening experience! So, I encourage everyone who desires to calm the mind & inner-being to consider incorporating meditation & other spiritual disciplines into your daily routine.

Your energy will be heightened, yet your spirit will be calmed— even in times when others are not. 🧘🏽

Happy Friday, everyone! It’s a beautiful day. Rejoice & be glad therein. And remember, everything is working in your favor. 🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏿🤸🏽‍♂️

True. 🎯

Know the difference…

I was speaking to someone recently about different types of fasts. Personally, I like to be in solitude, and away from other people’s energy, as much as possible. This is a great time to be alone (if possible) and to do some inner reflection and meditation.

Fasting isn’t only beneficial spiritually, but physically as well. Personally, I drink only water and refrain from food. What’s been the greatest benefits from your fasting experience?

Flashback of me & my crew. 🥰

Personally, I believe this is a year of TRANSITION & I am joining this fast & prayer call with and other ladies from across the world. You are welcome to join us on a 24-hour fast starting at midnight & we will connect in prayer tomorrow at noon. 🙏🏽 Please call the number on the flyer. Thank you, Melody for enriching the lives of countless people in so many ways & I look forward to seeing the manifestations of this powerful, universal connection of women! ~ Denyce 🌹

Please read the scripture on the flyer as well. 🙌🏾

This. 🎯

Dream Bigger. 🎯

A wise man will hear & increase his learning… ~ Proverbs 1:5 Choose wisdom. 🧘🏽

1/11 🌹💫

Not the greatest picture of us (especially me) 🤣, but I couldn’t let this moment go by without saying, “thank you”. When we met on this day, you were kind enough to walk over and chat with me for minutes on end. And even after a tough team game, you didn’t rush, or go get on the bus, because the fans were important to you.

Sir, you are a stellar and honorable gentleman and your contribution to not only the Seattle Seahawks, but to your community, as well as, people in general is a legacy that will forever be remembered. Your record speaks for itself! 🏆

May your journey moving forward from the be one filled with joy & fulfillment! You’re a class act, Coach Carroll. Wishing you continued blessings always!

💪🏽🌟

Radio days. 📻 🎙️

I’m convinced that this society was designed to keep us “grinding” & “hustling”. We have connected an image and material things to our self-value and how we show up in the world.

But we weren’t created to simply WORK & not enjoy life! Sure, we have to work to eat (thanks Adam 😒)—even the Bible says that, but there must be a BALANCE.

Allow yourself to experience FREEDOM & to be PRESENT. 🧘🏽 Carve out moments for STILLNESS & tap into LIFE, rather than being in the rat race of simple existence.

SN: Perhaps work-life balance should be turned around to be LIFE-WORK BALANCE because we are not here to work 50 years, only to do at the end of our lives what we should’ve been doing all along.

What are YOU going to do TODAY for YOU??? 😊

Grandma, in so many ways, I’m just like you. Thank you for the prayers that continue to cover your bloodline. May your legacy of love, compassion and grace forever shine throughout generations. 🙏🏽🌹

The mind doesn’t operate at its best when we’re under constant stress. When in a chronic & cloudy mental state, we tend to make decisions out of emotions, instead of rational thinking. But, if we simply relax, and decrease the adrenaline rush, clear and creative thoughts will come to us, rather than constantly searching for them.

Stacks on stacks on stacks…. 💵 💵💵 #2024 Happy 1/8 🗓️🙌🏾

My mother always told me, “you reap what you sow, and I’m not about to block my blessings trying to get even with nobody. Let God handle that”. I’ve never forgotten this. 🎯

Happy birthday to my beautiful Aunt Cheryl! 🎂🎉 My earth angel! 🌹 I appreciate the blessing you’ve been in my life & thank God for creating you! Enjoy another turn around the Sun, gorgeous! 🎈 Love you. 😘

A special “Congratulations” to Freddie Rhodes on his retirement from after 53 YEARS! Wow!!! 🎉🥳
Every time, you guys have seen me on “The Morning Show”, Freddie was the man behind the camera. 🎥 (1st picture)
Then, he would go to WCGL AM radio station and play my “Relationship Perspectives” segment that was aired on hourly rotation. 📻 (2nd picture)
However, I was first introduced to Freddie in the early 1980’s when he was the cameraman for the church I attended (Greater Holy Temple C.O.G.I.C.).
Freddie has always been a professional consummate, a hardworking gentleman& man of faith. Thank you, sir, for all your years of service, dedication and contribution to the airwaves! After 53-years, you deserve to enjoy your next chapter. May your path be filled with happiness & everything that you could ever imagine! You will truly be missed.

Don’t let them go.
