How’s your ♥ heart?

How’s your ♥ heart?

How are YOU doing?

What does YOUR heart need?

Beloveds, your heart matters. YOUR heart and YOUR needs.

Mine is currently on the ill side. I took the day off to get some things done, but my body says ‘not today’.

I am giving myself the time to get better. I put down my dreams just for the day. Okay, I daydreamed just a smidge.

Be encouraged. Keep doing your best. The outcome is not ours to worry about.

I am still learning that it’s okay to shut it down and heal the way I need to.

Ewwwww, I hear 😷 medicine calling. Want some? Here.♥️

😷,

Cassandra

You don’t HAVE to.

A friend recommended a new type of coffee creamer.

It sounded gross.

I tell myself I will try it.

I am learning to try new things.

Ewwwwwwwwww!

I absolutely HATED it.

I pouted as I paid a million dollars for it. Okay, it was close to four bucks but now I have a 50 gallon monstrosity of nastiness in my fridge who is demanding I finish since I had already paid for it.

In the past, I would have toughed it out because I had already paid the 4 bucks. Yep, beloveds, I would have inflicted weeks of pain/agony from messing up perfect cups of coffee adding nastiness just because I had ‘paid’ for the horrifying coffee crime sitting in my refrigerator. Smh. Don’t judge me. I am learning…lol.

I don’t know why us humans do super dumb things like staying in relationships, jobs, situations that do not serve us simply because we have been there ‘too long’. How long must we put ourselves through torment, er, foolishness because we had been with this person or that job forever?

There is a time and purpose for everything. You may have outgrown friendship from 30 years ago! You and the person may have grown in different directions. There is nothing wrong with missing folk well and growing in a larger/different pot.

Now, I am NOT saying leave a marriage/relationship you think has ‘grown stale’. Could it be YOU the one who is stale? Refresh the relationship. Talk to your other half. Grow together. Love each other and keep it meaning.

I am talking about a job you KNOW you have never cared for but have not taken the courage to look for something new, get the new job, THEN say goodbye to the one that is holding you back.

Please, please, please don’t blow up your life because you are feeling out of sorts.

Oftentimes, God and The Universe are trying to upset your apple cart so you can start asking questions to determine your why and get to doing YOUR why.

Be open to new things.

Just know you don’t HAVE to force down something not to your liking. Just because someone else believes something, find out for YOU if you agree/disagree. Then, keep caring for them and keep it moving. Disagreement does not mean the opposite side is your enemy. Just means you don’t like their coffee creamer. Eww!…lol

trying new things/sticking with my creamer,

Cassandra

Note: Be encouraged. Remember your thoughts/opinions matter. Don’t follow like the rest of the world seems to be angry about this, mad about that. Half the time I don’t think most folks even know what they have decided to be mad about. They have just seen a bunch of folks up in arms and began to yell and scream as well. SMH.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Repeat after me.

Repeat after me:

I am amazing.

Nuff said.

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Too often, beloveds, we tell ourselves ridiculously untrue things such as we can’t, we won’t, nobody cares, we don’t care. On and on. Feeding ourselves mound of foolishness and lies.

Speak truth to your heart. You ARE amazing! You ARE worthy. You ARE lovable. You ARE loved. You ARE intelligent. You ARE. Be encouraged.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Guard your why.

It’s important to guard your why.

Why?

If you don’t, you may find yourself pursuing the whys of the world. You end up hopelessly chasing likes, subscriptions, joiners and all manner of things.

You will find yourself wondering why you are doing what you are doing.

YOUR why is important.

Why?

Because, the world needs YOU. The AUTHENTIC you. Not the contrived you folks try to get you to be to suit THEIR agenda and needs.

Be YOU.

Just you.

Pursue YOUR why.

Why?

Your why will grow discouraged waiting for you to get back to it, that’s why!..lol.

Life is short.

Guard your why, beloveds.

Your peace is contained in your why.

Your joy is hopelessly tied up in your why.

Heckamia, the key to MY dreams may be hopeless tied up in your why!

Be encouraged, beloveds. Take heart. I have seen tons of folks, here lately, who are quitting their YouTube channels etc because of burnout, feeling like imposter(s) due to feeling as though they have had to pretend they were something they were not, thinking they had to lie and pretend they were ‘more successful’ so they could be in the orbit of other folk they feel are ‘more successful’.

Remember, beloveds, you are soooooooooooooooooooo much more than what you do, what you have, what you wear, who you know, who does not know you.

Why?

Because, you are loved and you are NOT alone, that’s why!

It’s crucial you guard your why and enjoy your life whilst being, doing and pursuing your why. The rest will come out in the wash.

#YourLife MattersToMe

Note: Why are you doing what you are currently doing? Why are you not pursuing that which you have desired to do? Answer yourself then get on with your why.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Cut yourself some slack.

Cut yourself some slack, beloveds.

Life is much too short to be worrying about things you can not change, alter, get away from etcetera.

Life is just going to go all lifery on you, anyway. Do what you can. Leave the rest be.

I mean it!

ALL you are doing is wasting the day.

Keep pursuing your dream. Be good to yourself as you wait for it. Acknowledge when you are tired and frustrated. Rest. Get up and keep it moving. Rinse. Repeat.

Simple as that.

How do I know? I wasted a bajillion years until I got tired of banging my head against the same wall every other five and a half seconds….ow!

Be encouraged. You are exactly where you are supposed to be. God and The Universe has already calculated your acting a fool, wasting time, discouragement and the like into your equation.

You got this.

You CAN.

You WILL.

cheering you on,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: In case no one told you today – I love you. Let someone know they are loved and not alone would you please/thanks? Asking for A Friend.

My dreams woke up and told me to go.

Dreams: Get up, Cassandra. Hurry!

Me: 😴. What’s the hurry?

Dreams: 🤑

Me: Nuff said.

going,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Just sharing a bit of a 😂 laugh, beloveds. Life is short. Also, lazy took over this piece and said to keep it super short. Don’t tell but I was successfully bribed by lazy and nap. Nap promised to be especially long and comfortably snoozy!

In the meantime, keep embracing your now and enjoying it, while you are in your in the meantime stage of life. You know the drill by now:

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Take YOUR vision and go!

I was up all night trying to get my dreams to shut up long enough to get some sleep!

It’s amazing what happens, beloveds, when you give yourself permission to act upon your dreams no matter how you feel.

Take your fear with you, but go!

Take your doubt with you, but go!

Take YOUR vision and go!

I have had a blast dreaming up 50 ways to do my first motivational video. I think I am going to use my piece called ‘Fear, you don’t run me!’ I looooooooove that sentence! Makes me want to punch excuses in the face!

Excuses: Hey! Why you bothering me? I wasn’t doing anything yet! I mean, I wasn’t going to do anything because lazy was…

Lazy: Hey! Why you bothering me on my day off? I was fixing to get up but you woke me now I have to take another nap.

Nap: Hey! Don’t involve me! Day promised me an extra treat if I got up on time!

Day: Quiet. QUIET!! Lazy, go on and take excuses with you and leave nap alone! Cassandra has thangs to do!

Thanks, day. Uh, oh, beloveds, I had better take off before dreams wake up again.

Dreams:😴🥳 You rang?

Me: Oh, no!

living my dreams outloud,

Cassandra

Note: Get to daydreaming then get up and make them happen. You got this. Be encouraged.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Connections: Keep reaching out.

Keep reaching out. You have things to say. You have much to share. The world needs to hear your voice.

Keep making connections. Keep being the impact that you are. You have no idea how much of an influence you are being in the world.

The Universe appreciates your try. Keep giving you all even if you feel  unappreciated. Your efforts are not in vain!

This is your time. It’s okay to be afraid. Take your fear with you and enjoy your time.

Fly, beloveds. Fear hates to fly. Lazy and boring likes to hang out on the ground.

Don’t allow one day to pass without your having loved someone. Starting with you.

I used to argue with God and The Universe that folk would get bored being encouraged EVERY day. Lord knows I get tired, at times, from having to encourage EVERY day.

There are days when I just want to do, well, absolutely nothing! I don’t want to have to care. I don’t want to have to take the lonely and hot high road.

Some days, I just want to cram Doritoes and do blissfully nothing until nothing matters but more Doritoes.

Alas, life is much too short not to care and to love.

So, I find myself cramming your inbox with love and care. 🤷‍♀️♥️

Don’t blame me. The Universe woke me and won’t leave me be until I tell you:

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Cassandra

Use the darkness.

Don’t be afraid of the dark, beloveds.

Use it to your advantage.

For some reason, I can’t sleep. The dark keeps waking me up.

I told the dark to leave me alone. I have things to do in the morning. Yet the darkness is hanging out with The Universe wants to talk to me, I guess.

I am learning to listen. Life just wants folks to keep trying.

Life is so worth living.

Life can be so confusing. The darkness can seem so scary. It’s not. It’s just dark. The day will come.

We can always turn on a light.🔹⛏️♥️

Cassandra

Note: Use the dark to your advantage. Make up on your dreams and make them happen!
