Repeat after me:
My time is NOW.
Now, beloveds, get up, get out and FIGHT!
For you.
For your dreams.
For your rest.
For your joy.
For all that life is waiting for YOU to seize. What the world are you waiting for!? Get going!
asking for A Friend,
Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: To hear the world tell it, beloveds, I may as well pack it in. Why?
I am 56.
I am a woman.
I am a BLACK woman.
I am a 56 year old, black woman…*gasp*. EVERY report has me being let go off, dispatched, dismissed, unwanted, unseen, unheard. Apparently, I ought shrivel up, shut up, shut down and go away.
The hooey with that! I have heard THAT nonsense for the whole of my existence. I am forever being told what I can’t do, where I can’t go, what I can’t have. By EVERYBODY.
To THAT, I continue to call BS. I AM:
Capable.
Able.
Loving.
Lovely.
Tenacious.
Lovable.
I SHALL continue to live a rich life. At the moment, I have a few 💵 dollars, in the bank. Right now, I live in a super dated apartment. At the present, I live alone. So what? I love my place. I enjoy my solitude. I am rich in the love of God, with the love of family, a couple friends and love of self.
I determine my value. I determine my steps. I determine my actions. I determine my try. By doing this, I make my life priceless. As do you, beloveds.
STOP wasting your life chasing the approval of others. You are NOT going to get it from most folk. Most folk have an agenda for your life. You are merely a transaction in the eyes of this world. That’s okay. Be sure the transaction is a win for both parties and keep it moving.
In the meantime, beloveds, keep living a life of integrity. Stop meeting transactions! Meet PEOPLE! LOVE people. The Universe will make sure you get what you need. Smh.
God knows I am not yet ready to return to work. Mentally, my heart is still terribly shaken from hollering, at the tops of my lungs, not to die in the bathroom, while an F4 🌪 tornado danced around the yard and neighborhood. I have not yet found the statute of limitations on when one is supposed to be over it already…😳😭😱
Believe me when I tell you that life is short. Use the time you have. I say this not to frighten you. I say these words, with love, to encourage you to get up and to try. Just try. Experience how much joy you find in the trying. Even in the hard. Be encouraged. You CAN. You WILL.
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!


I needed to read this today, Thank You!
