Clean as you go.

Ah!

Lazy was being extra lazy. So much so I made it get up and make some chili!😆

The 🛏 bed was looking mighty fine this morning. I went back and forth with myself about waiting until “later”. I made later help!

Mom taught us to “clean as you go” whilst cooking. That way, once everything is done, you don’t have a pile of dirty dishes!

Now, I have chili done, dishes washed, and ready to get on with the rest of my day.

Be sure to clean as you go. Do what needs to be done. Don’t wait and let things pile up.

Yes, I know, chores can be monotonous and mundane. Life can seem monotonous and mundane. Do them, anyway. Do life, with joy, anyway.

I’m lifting up every heart that is weary from doing the damned dishes already!

Be encouraged.

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: You got this.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Filling the other half: Empty yourself.

Empty yourself, beloveds, of the fear that you carry so that you may have/be an empty vessel that can be filled, fully, with:

Love.

Hope.

Joy.

Laughter.

Faith.

Integrity.

Tenacity.

Compassion.

And a million other things you will need in order to make your way, SUCCESSFULLY, through the rest of your life.

I would be a billionaire if I had a nickel for every time I have heard how the glass is “hall full” or “half empty”.

No one talks about filling the glass all the way up. Until now. Until me…lol.

It’s time for us to empty ourselves so we can begin to be refilled with all those things that grow and prosper us and all in our path.

Unfortunately, we all have allowed ourselves to be filled with all types of foolishness. What’s worse, WE have filled ourselves with such nonsense with the utter lies we have been telling ourselves ABOUT ourselves.

Enough of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s time for us to empty ourselves from all the things holding us back.

Life is short. Let’s get on with it, shall we?

Things are looking UP!

Things are looking up.

Don’t look down!

There is nothing but fear and doubt down there!

Lift up your head. Things ARE looking up for you. It can be hard to see with hard being so blessed hard these last few years.

Be encouraged. Goodness and mercy are fixing to overtake you!

How do I know this, beloveds? I have been praying for them for you. On the daily. On the regular.

Creamer anyone? Don’t judge me.😳🤣

I wanted coffee. I was trying not to stress.

I was stressing. Just a smidge.

I put on the kettle for coffee.

I took out instant coffee.

I took out creamer.

I took out sugar.

I yelled at the kettle to hurry.

Kettle told me to shut up, stop stressing and wait.

Wait said “Yea, chillax Cassandra! This is EXACTLY why you are all stressed out!.”

Nosey got all up in the business and called instigator so they could laugh at my anxt.

Next grew annoyed over being woken up and told everyone to shut it already!

Kettle, now annoyed, FINALLY howled it’s displeasure.

Steam, now also mad, spew all over every which way.

I didn’t care. I wanted coffee.

I demanded for spoon to get to work spooning my coffee, cream and sugar into my coffee cup.

Coffee cup tried to let me know it’s not very smart to get smart and demanding with spoon. No telling what spoon may do.

*Foreboding and forewarning music starts to play.*

Undaunted, I told spoon to hurry up already.

A few minutes later…

Coffee presented itself to me. Annoyed, I snatched lid and huffing whacked it on my cup. Lid AND cup snorted in outrage. Spoon told lid and cup not to worry and quietly said “hehehe” where only lid and cup could hear…

*Cassandra takes a sip of coffee*

Hhmmmm.

Hhmmm?

*Cassandra wonders why the coffee tastes weird*

*Cassandra peels lid of coffee cup and wonders why the coffee looks so darned light?!*

Oppps.

*Cassandra, being a tad stressed, accidentally forgets to add coffee to the cream and sugar*

*Cassandra decides to cut herself some slack. Cassandra apologies to cup and lid and pitifully asks spoon to make some coffee.*

LOL.

Unfortunately, a true story. Just thought I would send a smile your way, beloveds.

Don’t allow stress to stress you. Make the most of things and keep it moving.

Keep going. Keep trying. None of us can know the outcome of our try.

Be encouraged.

Put your love out into the universe.

The world needs the love that you have inside. The world needs you. The world needs what you have. The world needs what you are.

I have been praying for you and asking God to help you to continue to be you. I have been asking a life to open its doors to you. I have been asking The Universe to cash in your bounty.

Your life is more precious than you will ever know or understand. I have been up all night praying for you. I have been asking God in life to show you the way. Oo show you your path. To help you get there.

I don’t know what life has in store for you. I pray that your day and your year be filled with fantastic blessings. I asked for your path to be made straight. I asked for your ears to be open so that you can hear where you need to go. I ask that your eyes open so that you can see how to make your dreams come true for your life.

Be encouraged this day. This is an amazing day. This day was made for you and I to enjoy. I plan on enjoying my day. Please enjoy yours.

Keep putting in the work.

I’m putting in work.

I have spent hours working on my dreams.

I have been studying. I have been writing 📝. I have been daydreaming.

I have been putting ACTION to my hopes, my dreams, and my try.

Life is short, beloveds. Keep putting in the work. The outcome of that work is not our work/problem.

Then, after you have put in the days work rest!

We got this. We really do.
