Month: July 2025

Practice makes perfect. Unless your name is Cassandra. 🥰🤣

The more I try, beloveds, the more corny I sound.

I feel like an idiot. I sound like a moron. I am having a blast.

It’s a good thing I am not my failures, eh?

There are a million things I want to try. Maybe I will try them all.

I stopped by to encourage folk to do some damage. Mess some things up. Bake some terribly, awful brownies.

Then, enjoy the rest of your day. Life is short. I am fighting a cold but enjoying the morning.

56 won’t let me tarry. She says we got thangs to do.

Get to doing some thangs, beloveds. Let’s stop worrying about how we will look or who will care or what if this, that and the other.

I vote we get out there and try. Who is coming with me?

When.

When.

When?

When!!

*sigh*

*Cassandra climbs down off The Father’s Lap and gets on with her day*

When, God? I’m tired. Of all these trials. When will some of them end? Can a sista get a bit of rest?

Note: Nothing wrong with asking when, beloveds. Be encouraged.

Rest.

I messed around and caught another cold. I practically moved into the fan and slept too close to it the other night. Smh.

I have just enough energy to remind you that you are loved and NOT alone.

Be good to you, okay?

I found joy on the other side of fear.

This has been quite the year. I have been saying that for the past year and a half. 🥰🤣

Fear has been a constant threat and battle. I can’t even say why.

I have been holding my own. I think. For the most part…

I can say, beloveds, that dealing with fear, with honesty, head on has brought me closer to family and friends.

I am holding myself accountable to ME. To be good to ME. To put into MY life so I can have enough to fill others with.

I am finding it’s not fear that holds me back but what I think may or may not happen. The thing is not the scary thing. The scary thing is/was the “what if”.

Knowing that, beloveds, I started asking myself the dreaded “what if”…

What if I can’t?

What if I don’t?

What if He says no?

What if the answer is not now?

What if nobody comes?

I went through a million “what ifs” and began to smile. I realized I WOULD be okay. No matter what. Some kind of way.

That knowledge has brought me so much joy.

I don’t enjoy being scared half to death. I have been enjoying my responses. I wop fear upside the head!

I stopped by to encourage someone. You got this. Don’t be discouraged if fear keeps stopping by.

These trials are nothing more than that. They are NOT an indictment of you or your character. You are strong. You are able. You are capable.

Have an amazing rest of your day. I love me some you.

I found tenacity on the other side of hard.

I have been thanking God for the hard.

I am grateful.

I am finding my voice.

I am learning tenacity.

I am seeking perseverance.

I am challenging myself to stay focused and positive.

Hard is bringing out my strength.

Hard is revealing my weaknesses.

Hard is introducing me to parts of me I had no idea existed.

I am learning not to resent hard. Yes, I get tired of 🧗‍♂️ climbing this hard all blasted day. Still, I climb on.

I just stopped by to encourage someone to keep pushing through the hard.

Be encouraged.
