The storms in your life WILL pass.

Sure seems to be an awful lot of them, though.

Sheesh, Life, back up off us!

Geeez Louise, God. This hard just too hard, right now!

What in the fresh what the world, Universe?! WHEN shall You move so WE can live, move and have our being?

Asking for some friends,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Keep going. Even when it’s hard. I must admit, this hard ain’t playing with me. Yet, the hard is helping me make some diamond earrings today. Ha! You better ask somebody!

Fight!

Do NOT use the heat and the hard and the storm to give you an excuse to stop:

TRYing.

Living.

Loving.

Hold fast to your dreams. They need you to help them come true. WE need what only YOUR dreams contain. What an awesome and terrifying thought that.

That other’s dreams may be contingent on me not giving up on mine. I wanted to remain silent, today. I didn’t. I simply reached out and let someone know I appreciated them. They said they needed to hear that, today. Wow. Be encouraged.

Remember:

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU.

New habits: Satisfied.

I am satisfied.

I am satisfied with my try.

I am satisfied with being all that I can be.

I am satisfied with being unsatisfied with mediocrity.

I choose to be great rather than choosing just to be good.

I am satisfied with being alone.

I am satisfied with being around others.

I am satisfied.

I am satisfied with my try.

I shall keep trying no matter what.

Sure have had an awful lot of no matter what, yall.

Be encouraged.

Keep going.

satisfied,

Cassandra

Remember:

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU.

New habits: Unsatisfied.

I am unsatisfied with anything that keeps me from doing the best that I can.

I am unsatisfied with not doing everything that I know to do.

I am unsatisfied with be in okay with media already.

I am I am unsatisfied with lazy.

I am unsatisfied with letting the day beat me up.

New habits just will not allow old habits to remain. Old habits are unsatisfied with me. I am no longer controlled by my feels.

I shall continue to be unsatisfied with EVERYTHING that keeps me from keeping on.

Be encouraged.

Keep going.

unsatisfied,

“Turning Haters into Motivators: My Journey of Rising from Hate”**

I know I was M.I.A from writing and wordpress.Honestly the last month was haunting and filled with pain and loss . I found writing and publishing meaningless because every post I used to post , the hate comments would swirl in . I agree hate is a reminder that you are growing in your writing […]

“Turning Haters into Motivators: My Journey of Rising from Hate”**

Came across a FANTASTIC blog, beloveds. What a WONDERFUL read. If you enjoy, hook her up with a coffee.😎

#HereForIt

Real talk: Who are you?

Beloveds, if your words, voice, hopes and dreams truly were of no consequence, the world wouldn’t be in such a desperate attempt to silence…YOU!

Keep going.

Keep trying.

Keep loving.

Keep hoping.

Keep asking God, Life, The Universe, your family, your friends, your job, your community, for what you need and want.

Celebrate, your steps. Even the smallest step. In ANY direction, is moving you closer to healing, to freedom, to Joy.

This, THIS, our try, beloveds, is moving our 🗻 mountain(s) one pebble, at a time.

Don’t let folks laughter/dismissal/ghosting get you down. So what? It’s a THEY work and problem. Pray for them. Then, keep it moving.

Embrace you AND your mistakes. EVERY mishap, mistake, misshapened version of the dream you are making is makin…YOU!

Tada!

You are HERE!

Right HERE!

Enjoy, living, in the MOMENT. ALL of them. I promise, beloveds, you will start thanking hard for showing up!

This is NOT your average blog, my friend. I have been waiting and praying for more than 30 years for the place and space to say to you:

I love you.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU.

This has been a discouraging week. Finance wise. Work wise. Dream fulfilling wide. Friendship wise. Momless wise.

Every wise, you could imagine, was laughing at Mr, at Mt try, at my joy, at my faith, at My care for you, at my care for the world.

There IS no God, the enemy said.

You lie, I said back.

The Universe could care less about you, the world said.

You lie, I said, tears streaming down my face.

Your heart will NEVER be loved as much as you towant and need it to, circumstances said.

You lie, I said, holding my 💔 broken heart in my hands, waiting patiently for Love to love on me.

Jesus does not…!!

*Cassandra stands over the fallen voices of foolishness and gets about getting about it.*

Keep My Bestie’ Name outta your mouth!

Be encouraged.

I posted today, to let the wide world know :

I REFUSE.

I CHOOSE.

I MUST.

I HAVE TO.

I CAN.

I WILL.

I SHALL.

No matter what you are going through, beloveds, REFUSE to allow anything, anyone, especially you, to keep you from your try.

CHOOSE to keep betting on you, on your dreams, on your present, on your future.

Determine, declare, then DO, outloud your intention to live, with INTENTION. You MUST.

You CAN.

You WILL.

You SHALL.

How can I be so confident?

Cuz, God is not a man that He should lie. Hath He not said it and shall He not make it good?!

You don’t believe, some of yall saying?

So what?

I have enough faith for you, at the moment. You can borrow some of mine. Share some with your neighbors, now!🥰😇

Who are you?

You are:

Seen.

Loved.

Heard.

Cherished.

Have to finish giving an extra scrubbing to the shower and toilet. Punishment for listening and almost agreeing with dumbness. Smh.

Be encouraged.

Remember:

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU.

I love me some you.🤗❤

Knowi

Rejoice: Collecting diamonds.

It’s hot.

I’m tired.

So what?

ALL this hard is doing is helping me to collect more diamonds, in my shoe!

Ha!

You better ask somebody!

It’s okay, to get discouraged, at times. During those times, you are simply collecting more diamonds! Pretty soon, beloveds, you shall have enough to make a tennis bracelet. 🤣

Yall, we are DONE collecting 👕 t-shirts from dumbness we used to be and do. We collecting diamonds, yall, from destroying these 🗻 mountains of fear, doubt, anger, anxiety, apathy and all others that have been getting in our way!

The ONLY mountain we are scaling now is Joy Mountain. Hang out there, on the daily. Your dreams are waiting for you, up there. Keep 🧗‍♀️ climbing.

Rejoice.

Life is short.

Live, with intention.

STOP allowing yourself to be stopped! Tell this world:

“You better ask somebody!”

Then, go encourage others to keep going.

Remember alway:

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU.

rejoicing,

Cassandra

Lean back, God said.

God: Lean back.

Me: Okay.

Ah.

Aha!

*Cassandra leans back, feels God’s Back, and rests ALL her cares there. Turning, Cassandra gives God a hug, wipes the tears, from His Eyes, gives His Shoulder a squeeze and gets on with her life.*

Be encouraged, beloveds.

Remember:

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU.

I love you.

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Beloveds, keep going. You CAN. You WILL. THIS is but a test. You shall pass your tests and trials. You are too awesome not to.

One step.

One step.

One step.

Who are you?

Who are YOU?

What do YOUR dreams matter?

Why would/should the world listen to YOU?

Shut up!!

*Cassandra drags frustration, grief, doubt and a bit of anger to the bathroom 🚽 for some chores. Apparently some act right is in need of getting some act right.*

Nuff said.

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Keep making those diamonds in your 👟 shoe, beloveds. Yea, it’s hot. Yes, you are tired. So what? Keep going. This too SHALL pass. All things and times do. How shall YOU be/remain, after YOUR storm? Ah. Aha!

One step.

One step.

One step.

I must. I will.

I must.

I will.

I must, keep going, no matter what.

I will.

I must, remain relentless, no matter what.

I will.

I must, pursue excellence, no matter what.

I will.

I must, keep the faith, no matter what.

I will.

I must, remain focused, no matter what.
