Why I write three pieces.

I write in threes.

Three pieces.

Three examples.

Three thoughts.

Why?

Why?

Why?!

lol.

Because if I don’t limit myself to 3 pieces, I would write a hundred every day!😁😆🤣🥰😍😋

I don’t know. I just know how short life is. I just want to encourage as much as I can. That encouragement seems to come in threes.

The Father. The Son. The Holy Spirit. The Trinity.

Three is important to me. The damn don’t ask me why. Just is. Why am I sharing this with you? You just will happen to walk by when this was on my mind. Too bad for you.

I just thought this was interesting about me. You may as well. Or, you may be bored. Or…*shrug*.

What’s the moral of the story? I don’t have one today. Just sharing an interesting fact about me. Maybe you’ll share an interesting fact about you.

It should be enough just getting to know one another without having to be given something. Without having to be entertaining. Why can’t we all just be and enjoy each other being that way?

Ah.

Aha!

I did stumble upon a bit of inspiration!

enjoying me unapologetically,

Note: It’s important to share your life. The boring parts. The maddening parts. The frustrating parts. The broken parts. The healed parts. The loud parts. The beautiful parts. The ugly parts. We are as we are. Keep sharing you. The whole of you is beautiful. You are loving you are not alone.

55: Looking past me.

I have been trying to look past me and my needs.

I have been working on loving other people and trying to understand your viewpoint and way of living.

I have been watching all kinds of different ways of life on youtube and on the blogs. Trying to get to know my fellow man.

People are complicated. The reason why they do things good and bad are complicated. The world or so it seems just complicated.

I have learned much. I have learned that I have been much more judgmental then I thought. I am doing my best to treat people with the same grace that God gives to me.

I’m trying to look beyond my circumstances as well. I’m trying to make the most of my life in real time. I’m not wondering or worrying about what will happen tomorrow. I may not have a tomorrow.

I no longer worry about who will or who won’t read my blog. I just write. I just encourage. How that writing and encouragement will be received is not up to me.

Understanding others take real effort and work. I choose to put in the work and effort.

This week holds many challenges. I look forward to them all. I look forward. I move forward. I choose. Choosing takes the victim hood out of life.

choosing,

Cassandra

Note: Beats me. Keep going. Keep growing. Remember you are the bomb.com!

Heart check Sunday❤️‍🩹❤️.

Today is Sunday. Almost Monday for some…lol.

I used a dread Monday. Rather, what happened IN Monday. I have learned to receive it all. All things have a way of teaching us SOMETHING.

IF we:

Receive, the lesson.

Embrace, the outcome.

Enjoy, the moments.

Mon-yay, is coming…lol.

Look forward to your life.

Life is going to do life things.

So what?

What are you going to do about the things that happen?

Let’s not waste this week looking back on last week! Keep it moving. We got thangs to do.

doing thangs,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: I’m tired. I don’t feel like doing the hard thing. So what? I CHOOSE to do the hard thing. Be encouraged. You know the rest:

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU

Repeat after me: My week is going to be fantastic.

Monday is coming.

I start out doing it tough job. I am in a new part of my job. The training was super difficult. Now I have to do the work of the thing. I am doing my best to embrace the heart. I am doing my best to recognize that I will be anxious about learning what to do and how to do it.

I have learned to embrace the hand. I look forward to the challenge of making fifty thousand mistakes. I will laugh. I will enjoy my Monday.

Repeat after me:

My week is going to be fantastic.

I am going to enjoy everything that happens in each day.

I’m gonna try my best. I am going to accept the outcome. If I fail I am going to try again.

I understand that I am not my mistakes. Mistakes will happen. I will correct my mistakes and move on. I will not judge me by my mistakes.

Life is short. Continue to try new things. Branch out. Don’t settle for the easy path. Be willing to walk alone. Be willing to take a long time to get to where you need to go. We don’t do instant gratification here, beloveds, do we?

Fear not. And if you are afraid, take your fear with you.

We got this.

The Universe has us all.

Monday is coming. Yay!

ready to conquer the world,

Cassandra

Keep going.

Note: Drag your obstacles with you, beloveds. You have thangs to do!

Don’t be afraid to show your heart.

My heart was hurting.

Someone I care for a great deal did not reach out to me on my birthday. I was hurt. I told myself I didn’t care. I did care. Very much.

I reached out and let them know I was hurt and embarrassed. Long story short, Life had been life.

It felt good sharing my heart. Okay it felt terrifying. I was afraid at first to be rejected. I wasn’t. Even if I had been it still was good for my heart.

Don’t be afraid to let folks know how you feel. They will never know. Folk get offended and will say the other person should already know how they feel.

We are not mine readers. It’s important that we share our hearts with one another. How else will the relationship grow?

Besides, don’t you want to know how the person really feels about you? The things they say may hurt but you can move forward, and so can they.

Stop wondering how people feel about you and start asking them. If you are important to them they will let you know. If not they will dismiss your feelings and you will know to keep going.

I’m not trying to tell you what to do. I’m just sharing what has helped me. It may help you. Life is short.

I hear that cup of coffee screaming my name now. I hate to disappoint a cup of coffee.

Take care of yourself. Be encouraged. You got this. Remember, your needs are important, as are your thoughts. Share them liberally.

Let me know how long you are doing. Your life is important to me. Have an awesome Saturday.

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Making yourself vulnerable to another human being is not easy. It is worth it.

Lazy Saturday.

What a deliciously lazy Saturday!

They’re kind with us perfectly okay to let lazy run today. Today is that day.

It’s awesome important to have some you time. To let folks know that you need time to rest and relax. There will always be something pressing. There will always be someone who has a need.

Be sure to be a bit lazy at times. And selfish at times. You can’t get what you don’t have. Don’t let folk make you feel guilty because you’re taking time out for you. It’s necessary.

I was going to leave blogging alone for the day. But I promised myself that I would try to write everyday. Also, you are on my mind. And I was hoping that you were having a good day. So I had to check.

This is not just a blog to me. You are not just an anonymous like or click. Your life matters to me.

Be sure to get some rest today. Do something that will make you smile. I have been watching old movies. Drinking coffee. Eating chicken strips. Fantastic!

What will I do tomorrow? No idea. Tomorrow has not shown up yet. I have learned to live in th moment.

I think I shall go blog visiting. There are some fantastic writers. Be sure to enjoy some of them. Comment on what you like. It helps the creator. It also feels good to be appreciated. I have learned so much by all the bloggers. I learned also from those who comment. I often stealth read their blogs as well.

This has been a long few years for everyone. No matter what luck of life you come from. Financially. Weather wise. Conflicts everywhere.

Life is still good. Continue to move forward. Continue to try. Continue to give yourself some slack and room to grow and to feel.

Take care of yourself. I hear a cup of coffee calling me. Come join us if you please.

chilling,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Keep going. Don’t stop believing. Dreams take time. Sometimes a very long time. Be sure to continue to live in the meantime. Remember you are loved and you are not alone. Love someone today. Starting with you. Starting with you.

Tell your lazy to stop being so lazy.

I had to tell my lazy to stop being so lazy. I had to stop making things so convenient for my lazy. I had to stop making it so easy for lazy to be so lazy.

I got rid of all my convenient snack places. I moved my convenient coffee station back to the kitchen. Lazy had just gotten too lazy!

Lazy has talked me out of walking lately. I am done listening to lazy. I have too much to do. I’m going to make lazy do the vacuuming.

Lazy talked me into turning the alarm off. I lay there for ten minutes. Okay, so it actually was an extra half an hour.

I made lazy get up and scramble me some eggs and make me some coffee while I took a shower.

Don’t let lazy mess up your day. You have things to do. You have a life to live.

Lazy is mad. I told lazy they are doing extra chores in the bathroom! When I listen to lazy too long I make myself do extra chores.😆. It helps me keep my act right acting right.

Lazy was smart. Lazy make sure to wash the dishes right after breakfast and put things away. Lazy also prepared the coffee station for tomorrow. Lazy was not going to be doing extra chores tomorrow! Lazy promised to do the vacuuming during lunch today. We shall see.

Be good to you. Don’t let your lazy keep you from growing. Don’t let your laser keep you from getting out there for a walk. Don’t let your lazy keep you from reading that book. You have been mean to read. Don’t let your lazy keep you from reaching out to that friend or your family.

Tell your lazy to stop being so darn lazy.

telling lazy to kick rocks,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Be well. Know, of a surety, you matter. You matter! So much. Ah, beloveds. Be encouraged. Enjoy your Saturday!

Keep taking one step at a time. Never give up on you. No matter what. Tell hard ha!

Nuff said.

Nuff said.

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Training is a beast. Had to keep it short and sweet. Have too much whining and complaining about how hhhhaaaarrrrddddd training has been!…*pout*

Be encouraged.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU

It’s Fri-yay!

It’s Fri-yay!

We made it!

Just barely!

Whew!

🥰🤗😂😋

Life is short.

Enjoy your day.

Cut yourself some slack.

You did your best.

Put the week to bed.

The weekend is waiting.

For those of us who work on Saturdays…*pout*…hahahahahaha! Enjoy your weekend!

I used to let my feelings run my life. If this happened, I was happy. If that didn’t happen, I was mad. If this occurred, that means this. Smh. Now I tell my feelings to shut up. Yes, I allow myself to feel things and process. But, I move on and do not ascribe villianery to EVERY happenstance.

It’s Fri-yay!

Yiipppeeee!

enjoying me,

Cassandra
