Month: January 2024

Do you YOUR way.

I had been wanting to create a blog.

For, years.

And, years.

And, years.

I did not create one.

For years.

And, years.

And, years.

Why?

Because, I was afraid that my brand of writing would not be received. Meaning, my heart wouldn’t be received. My heart is:

Weird.

Wonky.

Ridiculous.

Hmm.

Was trying to find a third ‘W’ but I am just too tired to think of one. See, beloveds? What other person writes such ridiculousness but ME!?

Something in me, though, just would NOT let me rest.

Then, God joined the party, and would NOT let me rest.

Then, Life joined the party, and would NOT let me rest.

Then, The Universe joined the party, and would NOT let me rest.

Okay.

Okay!

I gave in.

I creted my blog.

The blank page laughed at me.

The cursor winked at me and beckoned me just to try.

So, I clutched my heart and tried.

Badly?

Clumsily?

Boringly?

Inspiredly?

I have no idea.

God knows and He ain’t tellin’.

He just tells me to keep on writing. To keep on loving. To keep on trying.

All I know how to do is to try. And, to write. And, to love. And, to give.

Until?

I have no idea. Until I am no more, I imagine.

I just want to encourage as many folk as I can to keep on being…YOU!

However you are.

Do you YOUR way. Not how the world would have you to do and be.

Who knows what YOUR way will produce?

Are these sentences making sense? I hope so. They are mine. All I have. Written clumsily. Yet, written.

Ah!

Aha!

Get to writing your chapters, beloveds. The world needs the story called your life.

writing with you as me,

Cassandra

Note: Okay, so what in the world are you still doing here!? Get gone. You got thangs to do!

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

55 stole my confidence. I snatched it back.

Turning 55 seemed to steal my confidence.

I have spent seemingly every day since snatching it back!

Ha!

Give it here!!🤯😳

??

Where o where has my confidence gone 🎶?!

55 has:

Turned my fingers clumsy.

Minced my stomach into endless nerves.

Squashed my know how whilst turning it into know nothing. Yikes! Egads! Whew!

I must admit I AM having fun getting to know me confidence free. Now, I can be fully:

Dumb.

Ridiculous.

Awkward.

So what?

I can’t remember laughing so much and so often.

Enjoy you. ALL of you. You won’t always feel and be confident. So what? Doesn’t make you any less…

Ah!

Aha!

You are more than…

YOU get to fill in the blank.

Cut yourself some slack.

55 stole my confidence. I told her to keep it. I am gaining so much more than I imagined.

laughing still,

Cassandra

Just one more try.

I am tired.

Exhausted.

Worn out from chasing my dreams.

I keep telling myself to give it just ONE more try.

Just one.

ONE.

Keep going, beloveds.

Just one more try.

Just one.

ONE.

Who knows what the try may bring!

trying just one more again with you,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Just when you think you can’t take nary another step, beloveds, KNOW that you CAN. You WILL.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Uncategorized: Time to dream again.

Time to dream again, beloveds.

I know. I know.

You have given your all for naught.

You have tried.

It looks as though your dreams were put in the Uncategorized bin.

Again!

Lumped in there with all the other ‘Uncategorized’ folk and their dreams.

Seems like the world just doesn’t know what to do with our weird, with our try, with our unique blend of occasional dumbness mixed with precious goofness.

Yet, it’s time, beloveds, for us to dream again.

And, again.

And, again.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Get those dreams back out.

Dust them off.

Get ready to live some of them outloud.

In the meantime, keep on believing in yourself. You have much to share. You have much to contribute. Don’t be as the lazy or the apathetic. Keep blazing your own path and trail. We need as many new places to visit as we can get!

blazing hew paths with you,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Ah, beloveds, get on out there and live. Go on now. Whatchastilldoinhere!?

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Every time you try. You win.

Every time you try…

You win.

YOU win.

You WIN.

YOU WIN!

The outcome, beloveds, is beside the point!

It’s the TRY, beloveds. Don’t you get it?! It’s YOUR try!

Why do you think your enemy(s) want you to be dismissive, of you try?

Why do you think your critics want you to think they are laughing, at your try?

Why do you think hard and disappointment go so hard on you, EVERY time you try?

WHY, do you think, your dreams move so far, so fast and away from you, as you strain and you TRY?

Ah, beloveds, do you not yet see?

Oh, my friends, do you not yet know you are producing 🗝 keys, 🔹 diamond, and open 🚪 doors EVERY time you try

🚪: Moments

🗝:Opportunity

🔹: Faith.

The greatest gift God has ever given you are hard AND God’s Silence…TOGETHER!

When this happens, you are forced to fight FOR you with everything in you, with everything you have, to produce everything ALREADY WITHIN YOU!

Every time you try…

You win.

winning 🥇 with you,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

🗒: Your dreams are but catalysts in which God, Life and The Universe helps YOU to propel you forward. Ah. Aha! You shall get this in a minute!🥰♥️🗝♥️🔹📦

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU

Love Has No Color!

Okay, so I am currently blessing the neighbors with a concert and singing, badly I might add, ‘”Love Has No Color” by The Winans

This reminds me of a song we used to hear in children’s church:

Jesus loves the little children.

All the children of the world.

Red and yellow.

Black and white.

ALL are precious.

In His Sight.

Now, as an adult, my heart grieves for a world which seems to hate those that does not look like him/her/them.

Ah, beloveds. We are all more alike than we are different.

Currently, I have been enjoying some fantastic Japanese/Chinese YouTube channels with folk doing all manner of interesting things. I use the english subtitles but many of them are still in Japanese and Chinese.

I loooooooooooooooove seeing Chinese and Japenese writing. I have NO idea what the world is being said. Yet, I see the love these wonderous people have for their family and their communities.

The other day, I was watching some Russian thingies or other. They appear to be stoic but passionate folk.

I was looking at folk from Saudi Arabia and other places and wondered if they were hot in their robes and enjoying the passionate way they lived their lives.

I wandered over to Greece and saw the beautiful waters and enjoyed folk fishing and living the life.

I headed over to Spain and ALWAYS love seeing the aerial photos of the huge statue standing over all.

I wandered back over to America and watched cowboys, police officers, doctors, lawyers, basketball players, nurses, bus drivers, postal workers, cab drivers, trash collectors and all manner of folks living their lives.

Ah, beloveds, that we could all come together as children of the world and love one another!

Til that day, I shall continue to be a posse of one and loving each and every soul I can get next to.

Love some folk with me, would you please and thanks.

asking for A Friend,

Cassandra

One heart.

One heart.

Keep on being…YOU!

P.S.If anyone knows a hedgefund person, tell them to him me up.

Figure it out while you are figuring it out.

Categories!

SEOs!

I have NO idea how to effectively utilize these things or how the world to get algorhythms to do their rhyming and chiming so I can be a blessing to about a billion peeps or so.

Sooooooooooooooooooooo, I click on this. I try a bit of that. I make up all kinds of categories and click on them. I have NO idea what the dailyprompt thingie is but found some folk have found me simply by me clicking dailyprompt this and uncategorized that.

*shrug*

I figure one day some hedge fund bajillionaire will come across my blog and say my how fantastically wonderous Cassandra is and leem fill up her GoFundMe Page with oodles of coinage so I can do some me my way….*shrug*. It’s my blog so I can dream however I so choose, eh?

N-E-Waze, I was figuring it out whilst I am figuring it out and figured I would encourage you to also keep figuring it out whilst you are figuring it out.

Don’t let your lack of knowledge stop you from DOING SOMETHING to make your dreams happen.

Don’t wait on inspiration. Get to perspirating whilst waiting for inspiration to catch up.

Keep doing all you know to do. The Universe shall do the rest.

figuring it out while figuring it out,

Cassandra

Note: I think I may have made up some new words. Keep growing. Each and every day. Love yourself. Each and every day. Love someone. Each and every day! Don’t let a day go by that you are not loving someone. Starting with you.

Be encouraged and know your life is precious and priceless. Jesus says tell you hello. 🙂

A poem written just for you♥️.

Roses are red.

Violets are blue.

It’s cold outside.

Note 🗒: I know. I know. Only those with a ridiculous sense of humor could possibly find the humor in my poem…*shrug*. The point was to get you to smile. Did you?

Life is short. You have done your day. Rest. Take a break. Tomorrow has much in store for you. Be encouraged and anticipate all the love headed your way. You CAN. You WILL. You are loved and you are not alone. Keep on being… YOU!

We don’t quit when tired. We quit when we are done.

We do NOT quit when we are tired, beloveds.

We quit when we are done.

Period.

End of story.

Nuff said.

Me: I’m TIRED of you KNOWING. DO something already!!!!!! I don’t want to DO today.

God: I know.
