Life is what YOU make it. What are you making with yours, beloved?
asking for A Friend, Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: History is talking to all of us right now. It is asking what are we prepared to be to have it to do in these challenging times?
I’m doing my best to make the most of the rest of my life. I have just this little bit of time to make my mark. I am trying to aim true. I keep asking what I can do to make things better. I have to just keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Have an amazing today. You’re the best you can and be OK with that. I love you.
I used to fear change. I used to believe that most change was bad.
I did my best to keep everything the same. I didn’t like entering outside my comfort zone.
Change does NOT have to be the boogie man.
Change can bring wonderful and positive things into our lives. We just have to keep on moving forward and looking up.
I’m building my days now on peace, love, hope, joy and a ton of laughter. I don’t have time to worry about gloom and doom that may or may not happen. I will deal with life as it presents itself to me.
I choose to see the goodness in my fellow man. I choose to bring out the best in me. I choose to give life everything I have. I choose to give away what I have if you will help someone else in need. I choose to wait my turn. I choose to be OK if my turn never comes. I have everything I need right now.
Be encouraged today. You got this. Everything will come out in the wash, remember?
I feel like an idiot. Begging family and friends for likes and comments. How embarrassing 😳. Who am I to think my words would make an impact. Embarrassing.
I feel like an idiot.
This idiot will be back, tomorrow, encouraging folk. Geez, God. NOBODY came to my meal. Embarrassing. 😳
*Cassandra reminds herself it’s all about the try. Cassandra tells the 📣 cheerleader in her to shut it.*
Be encouraged, beloveds. Even when your dreams feel like a popped 🎈 balloon!
The motivational videos I did yesterday sounded stilted. The sound was off. I saved the pieces anyway.
I have been enjoying learning.
Don’t worry about looking like an idiot as you learn everything. It’s OK to feel like an idiot as you move forward. I forgot what it was like being back in school.
I had too much fun today to worry about sounding like or looking like an idiot. People will either receive what I put out in the universe, or they will. Simple as that.
I’m looking forward to all the mistakes that I mam going to be making tomorrow!
Yall are going to have to forgive me, beloveds. This was a dream years in the making!!!!
I have been wanting to share motivation and encouragement since I was a babe.
You all will me a HUGE favor if you click on the video and watch all the way through. This will help the Algorithm boost y first video. I would also greatly appreciate it if you would like, subscribe and comment on the video.
Thank you, in advance, beloveds. I appreciate EVERY like, over the past five years, that helped me keep on keeping on when I have been the most discouraged.
The videos WILL get better. I am improving with every try.
Be encouraged. Go for your dreams. Start, beloveds, even if the start is a shaky one. I love and thank you. With all my heart.

Note: This IS our time. Get out there and LIVE. We CAN. We WILL. We HAVE to.
Keep putting yourself out there, beloveds. In as many spaces and places as you can.
I have spent a delicious hour writing more Substack pieces to share next week.
So far, not many views. Far less than in here. In here, as far as the world is concerned, I haven’t done very much, or reached many folk, in five years.
I have done what I could. I will continue to do so.
The joy, beloveds, has been in the showing up.
I can not tell you how much joy I get from even one connection. Even if that one has been only me.😳😎🤗🤣🥰😁
Life is short. I am living it. I just had a fabulous coffee yak with my twin.
Now, I am listening to motivation, so I can fill up with motivation, so I can give out motivation. Rinse. Repeat.
It feels good to have removed the strings from my life. I no longer have the world caught up in strings of my expectations.
Yes, I desire for connections with and from the world. Still, I no longer place my value on how many did or did not.
I love. I care. I keep it moving. I enjoy those who return the favor. I ain’t mad at those who did not.
I am one of billions. It may take a while for my tribe to find me. I can only keep putting myself out there to be found.
Keep putting yourself out there, beloveds. Don’t be discouraged if your tribe has not shown up yet.
At least, one has. Me! Tada! 😁🥰🤣🤗😎😳
I love you. Have an amazing day. I just wanted to share this awesome Tiktok.
Note: It’s easy to fall into the trap of listening to fear. You look around you and all you see are the obstacles forever getting in your way. Be encouraged. Obstacles are just that. Hey Cortana, overcome everything you need to in order to have a successful and full life.
What that life looks like depends upon you, on your efforts, on your attitude, on your willingness to turn around and go another way if need be.
Give yourself the time and space to learn to move into grow. You will get there when it’s time.
Don’t get on yourself when you are afraid about a situation. A bit of fear is healthy in that it can show you where to look and what to do to maneuver through this thing called life. Fear is an emotion. It’s an indicator that something is up. Fear does not have to run our lives.
We will always have fear to deal with, to fight with, to combat and to overcome. Don’t be afraid of fear. Fear wants you to believe there is always an imminent disaster waiting around the corner. There isn’t.
Life will happen. Enjoy your life. Look forward to things. Love as many people as you can. Good things will happen to you. Bad things will befall you. It’s called life. Enjoy the life you have.
You can’t do anything about anyone else’s attitude.
You can do something about yours.
You can’t do anything to change anyone else’s mind.
You can do something about yours.
You can’t change every corner of the 🌎 world.
You can do something about yours.
You can’t do anything about others’ lack of empathy, care, and understanding
You can do something about yours.
You can’t change anyone else’s uninformed opinions.
You can do something about yours.
You can’t do a thing about another’s lack of faith, hope, and joy.
You can do something about yours.
Beloveds, the 🌎 world will tell you that all is hopeless. Dark times will try to convince you that YOUR voices, your choices, your love just does not matter.
You can NOT waste precious moments joining the ranks of all who choose not to. Life is what WE make it.
I can’t make you. You can’t make me. We CAN make it together!
I’ll do my part…
You can do something about yours.
being about it, Cassandra

Note: We can do something about the foolishness going on in the 🌎 world. We CAN. We have to. It’s on us. My heart had been heavy over the willingness of so many people to turn their backs on those who are hungry.
You actually have people cheering the fact that Medicare and Medicaid are being cut, which will cause rural hospital to close, which will cause people to go without health care. There are people who are doing Tiktok videos laughing about the fact that food benefits are being cut but children will be going hungry.
I was watching a video where there was a town that was calling against a program that will house homeless women, children and elderly. The community said yes, we think society should do something about this. They just didn’t want the people in their town.
We are the community. We are our brother’s keeper. We are our neighbors. We all need each other. Let’s all choose to love and care for one another.
I was just talking to my sister about this today. Don’t fear the darkness. Shine your light. Be a light.
I’m making a bunch of noise. I have been complaining to God about how silent He had been. He challenged me. He asked me what I could be doing in the meantime.
I told him I said love as many people as I can. I told him, I said love me as best as I can. I told him I could sing loudly and badly. I told him I could chair dance.
I told him I could start my channel. I told him I could exercise.
Life is short. I feel sorry for all the people who are running around angry about everything.
If you don’t like the way things are, get loud about it. Make your own noise your way. Do something. Even if it’s just a small thing. Make it your thing.

Note: I’m trying to make a distance. Even if it’s just a small difference. Even if it’s just for a few people. I wanna touch the entirety of the world. I want a billion souls to see my words of love and encouragement. In the meantime. I will love who I can for as long as I can.
Be encouraged. You are making an impact. More of an impact than you know. Stop seeing your impact on the small thing. You’re making such a big difference. What do you do matter.
It’s so funny that the more I ask for help from God, He told me. And asked me what was I going to do. Emphasis being on what was Cassandra going to do about things.
It has been amazing actually putting hands on on a dream that I have carried around in my heart for 35 years. I worked on the first two pieces of the project and I had so much fun doing so. In fact, I have to make myself soft working.
Be confident in your choices. Be confident in your steps. You are going the right way.
Why Can't I Be Loud?!
