Enough doubting beloved. It’s time to start believing in you.
You have dismissed your dreams long enough. Is time you start being your biggest cheer leader.
You are just as worthy as the next person in having your dreams to come into the light.
Start telling yourself all the reasons why you can. You have spent enough years telling yourself all the reasons why you couldn’t.
Your ideas are valid. Your vision can be realized. Your try will produce fruit.
Enough. Stop give me yourself a hard time. Enough with your doubting. It’s time to start believing in you.
believing in you,
Cassandra

You have been dreaming a long time.
It’s time to start walking towards your dreams.
I have been having a blast walking towards mine.

Note: Keep building on your legacy. Your life is impacting many. Starting with your own.

Hey, God.
I love You. Just because. I just wanted to tell you that you are much more than a body guard to me.
I just wanted you to know that you are much more than a gift giver, to me.
To me, You are:
A Father.
A Teacher.
A Joke Teller.
An Instigater.
An Agitator.
Ah, God, You soooooooo agitate me! You initiate, You instigate change in me.
I thank You.
I fuss at You.
Thanks for letting me fuss.
Thanks for loving me at my worst. Thanks for cheering me when I think I have done my best.
I appreciate You loving me where I am. I appreciate Your giving me the opportunity to love you back as I CHOOSE.
I just stopped by, God, to say that I love You. Just because.
Nuff said,
Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: I love me some Him. I love me some you. Happy Sunday.
Thank you, beloveds.
Yes, if you are reading these words, I was, I am talking about you.
Why?
Because only someone who loves as you do, would even be here.
You care.
A lot.
That caring has brought you much pain.
A lot.
That care, though, has impacted the world.
A lot.
Be encouraged.
Keep being you.
Your time will come.
Your time HAS come.
How do I know?
The Universe sent you here so I could tell you so!
Ah, beloveds, stop selling yourself so short. You look around you and don’t see much. The Universe looks within you and sees:
Everything!🥰
These are not words meant to inspire. They are truth. Your life is an inspiration. Be inspired by it. Stop dismissing it. Stop dismissing you!
Your dreams are playing hide and seek for a reason. What is that reason? Great question. Keep asking.
dreaming with you,
Cassandra
Note: Your love, your life, your try, has touched the heart of God. You have touched mine. I am changed.
One step.
One step.

You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
Repeat after me:
I forgive me.

#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: I have done many a dumb thing in my fifty five years. That said, I am learning and have learned to forgive myself.
I forgive myself for all the times I gave up on me too early.
I forgive myself for having given up on relationships because I didn’t think I was enough.
I forgive myself for having gotten into relationships that did not serve me because I did not think myself worthy enough.
I forgive myself for not pursuing dreams because I was afraid to try.
I forgive myself for not being the greatest daughter.
I forgive myself for not being the perfect friend.
I forgive myself for being an obstinate child of God at times.
I forgive myself for not always being a good steward over my finances.
I forgive myself for not always being a good steward over my body.
I forgive myself for not always being a good steward over my spirit.
I forgive myself for not always being as empathetic as I could have been.
I forgive myself for all the times I chose pride over fellowship and understanding.
I forgive myself all the time I chose my anger over healing and forgiveness.
I forgive me for these and many other things. I will continue to forgive myself as necessary in order to live a better life for myself and others.
How about you? Stop giving yourself such a hard time. Forgive yourself and keep it moving.
One step.

Note: Life is short. Every moment is precious. Stop wasting time on what you don’t have. Enjoy the process and keep it moving.
Remember how truly amazing YOU are. There is only ONE you in the whole of the world. How awesome is that?!
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
Don’t be ashamed of your why, beloveds.
Why?
Because, your why is YOUR why.
Just because your why is completely different than my why, doesn’t make your why less valued, less seen, less important, less heard.
I have been enjoying watching Van lifers. I find them fascinating. They are in every age, sex, color and money bracket.
Some are living the high life. Some are scraping by, not by choice. Some are living in tiny whatchamacallits. Some are living in huge howonearthdidyoumakethats!
Today, I ran into one who was thinking of giving up because of the judgement of others.
Stay, I shouted at the television!
Do you!
BE you!
😭
She made me more determined to reach as many hearts as I can. If I could reach her, I would tell her this:
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
I can’t tell her. I CAN tell you. Every day. Every one.
Yes, the world scoffs at my persistent, clumsy, ugly ashtray try. I offer it anyway.
Keep doing your why. Why? Cuz you are loved and had best believe you are NOT alone. Love someone. Starting with me. In case no one has told you today…I love you. So does He 👑.
Your heart matters.
Nuff said.

Note: It’s Friday. Time for my Friday heart check. How are you doing beloveds? If your week went anything like mine, you’re happy the weekend has come.
We have done our week. Now, it’s time to rest and get ready for the next steps ahead. It’s it’s time to lay down and day dream. It’s time to ask The Universe to make our dreams come true next week. You won’t know unless you ask.
Ask for the things that you need and want in life. We only have this one go around. Make it a good one. Don’t waste your days party and because you only have one life to live.
Be sober. Be mindful. Embrace these days. You don’t know how many you will have. I’m doing the best I can to embrace mine.
Speaking of embrace, remember that you are loved and that you are not alone. I love someone starting with you.
Good habits are hard to break.
I told myself I was gonna take a few days off from writing. Work has been challenging and I have been super tired.
I found that I had saved up enough time to take a day off with pay.
I have been so focused on hanging in there. And trying to make is meet that I had not realized I had saved up enough time where I could take a day off with pay.
I had used up all my time due to fighting with grief and not feeling the greatest.
I told myself. I would not allow grief to stop me from living my life the best way that I know how.
I kept getting up even when I didn’t want to. I kept doing the dishes even when I didn’t want to. I kept writing even when I didn’t want to. I kept trying even when I didn’t want to.
One morning, I woke to find the day was not quite as hard as yesterday. I found myself laughing in the day. I found myself reaching out to others in the day. I found myself rejoicing in the day.
Good habits really are hard to break. Good habits will keep going even when you can’t. Good habits will get you out of bed. Good happens will keep you working. Good habits will keep you trying.
Hang in there, beloveds. Don’t worry yourself if you’re having a hard time starting some good habits. Just keep trying. Every day.
Over time, good habits will take over for you. Good habits will slap things out of your hands. Good habits will put on your walking shoes. Good habits will take you for a walk.
Keep going. You got this.
making good habits with you,
Cassandra
