Your Prime membership has been revoked.

Too often, we give folks prime access, in our lives who neither deserve it nor have done the work of building on the relationship.

Periodically, I take the time to clear out my phone from one way relationships. I also clear out my inbox πŸ“¬ of all the needless clutter.

Life is short. We don’t have time to have folk taking, taking, and taking. It took us everything to build what we have.

Don’t feel bad about revoking memberships. True friends will be there for you and understand when you need some space.

True friends respect and understand your need for space at times.

True friends give you room to grow.

True friends love you when you are being charming and love you when you are being annoying.

True friends love you when you make mistakes. True friends know you are not a mistake.

There is only one you, beloveds. You don’t have room in your life for those who will not cherish you.

Prepare to be loved. Love is coming for you.

waiting for love,

Cassandra

When will I be loved, 55 asked me.

When will I be loved?

My heart has been asking this since I turnEd 55.

In truth, I have not put my heart out there. Not really. Not all the way. Not where I can be hurt.

I find myself closer to taking a chance. On me. I wonder if it’s too late. For that part of love to come for me.

I am not desperate. I am not lonely. I am just wondering. I am just wandering a bit. Towards something.

I think this is a good thing. Mom gave up her dreams for us. I am sad she didn’t do more for herself. I think she would be sad if I would do the same thing.

I want to walk on a beach with a friend. I want to talk of silly things. I want to talk of many things. I want to talk of serious things.

I would like someone to get to know the whole of me and find that me satisfying. I wonder if that should ever happen.

I am not looking for romance. I am not looking for sex. I am not looking for companionship.

I am looking for connection.

I wonder if connection will find me?

I am asking a question. I don’t know what the question is.

Do you?

asking for A Friend,

Note: I feel deliciously vulnerable right now. I used to hate feeling vulnerable. I don’t mind it now. It just means my heart are speaking loudly. I hear you. What does your heart say to you?

Try another way.

For whatever reason, WordPress does not like me writing on my computer right now.

I have had to go back to riding on my phone. It’s taking longer but I am getting the job done.

Sometimes, we have to go back to the old way of doing things in order to get new things done.

Initially, I was going to give up working on my dreams and start again tomorrow. I decided to give it one more try and write on my phone.

Life is short. When an obstacle pops up,Β  deal with it.

I don’t know why we have to fight so many obstacles on the way to our dreams. It would be nice if the way was a bit smoother.

I made a goal of writing ten pieces today. I wrote several that disappeared. I started to give up for the day. I told myself.I would not break my promise to myself.

Here I am. I don’t know if I get the count the pieces πŸ˜‚

Keep writing.

Keep trying.

Stay focused on your dream.

Don’t waste time on the distractions.

Enjoy every step of the way.

Even the steps that disappear.

walking with you,

Cassandra

It’s time you start believing in yourself.

It’s time you start believing in yourself.

It’s time to stop listening to others and start listening to yourself.

You need to give yourself more credit.

You need to cut yourself more slack.

When are you going to start believing in yourself?

I say you do so today!

Don’t let your challenges stop you.

Don’t let your challenges stop you, beloveds. Use them to fuel you. Use them to strengthen your faith muscles.

Be open to change. Be open to doing things a different way. Don’t allow the obstacles to remain in your way.

Move your mountain! One pebble at a time if you have to. Just move it. Just keep moving.

I am grateful for this time in my life. It has been frustrating. It has taught me so much about myself.

Don’t let your challenge just stop you.

I have been amazed at how stubborn I have become. I refuse to let go of my dream. I refuse to give up on myself. I refuse to give up on others.

Life is short. It’s time you challenge yourself more.

You are capable of so many amazing things. You will never know unless you try. Neither will I.

Let’s go.

Again. Again. Again.

I have been fighting with wordpress.

I keep writing pieces.

I keep scheduling pieces.

I keep posting pieces.

Pieces keep disappearing.

Again.

Again.

Again.

I told myself.I would not get angry.

I told myself to start another piece.

The piece disappeared.

Again.

Here I am.

Again.

Is working on my dream.

Again.

I choose not to waste time on what has happened.

I choose to start again.

Again.

Keep going.

Start again.

As many times as necessary.

We have things to do.

What do you do when vertigo wins?

Have never felt more defeated than today.

I have never felt more weak than today.

I have never feel more loss than today.

I have never felt more loved than today.

I have never felt more friendless than today.

I have never felt more mom less than today.

I have never filled more hopeless than today.

I have never felt more less-than than today.

I have never said more.

I have never been more less.

Than today.

That’s okay.

I have tomorrow, I hope.

I hope.

Ah.

Aha!

discouraged, yet not in defeat. Hopeless, yet not cast down,

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Be encouraged. Your toughest day(s) is just another opportunity to exercise your faith. What you see is not your apparent doom/defeat. What you see is part of your amazing present. The future will be what it will be.

Discouragement is nothing but an appointment with God. An appointment with The Universe. An appointment with YOU. So, you can continue to reach out for love and support. Be encouraged.

I know today is mostly about me missing mom. Mother’s Day. Crap!

Repeat after me: I am altogether lovely.

Repeat after me:

I am altogether lovely!

You are, beloveds. You are.

Enough judging yourself so harshly.

Your heart is soooooooooooo special.

You think things only you can think. Isn’t that an amazing thought, beloveds?!

Don’t dismiss you because others appear too busy to notice you and your value. That’s on THEM.

Every day, folks blithely move through this beautiful world. Never taking the time to admire the beauty all around:

The caress of a cool breeze.

The soft sway of long grasses enjoying said breeze.

Ah, beloveds, you ARE:

Seen.

Heard.

Loved.

Cherished.

Now, off with you. Get on with enjoying your surroundings. Enjoy you. Allow others to get to see and know you.

Open your heart and allow light and love to come in.

Turn on the light, God said to me.

Me: I can’t see!

God: Turn on the light.

Me: I can’t SEE You.

God: Turn on the light.

Me: I can’t HEAR you.

God: Turn on the light.

Me: I keep running into things.

God: Turn on the light.

Me: I’m terrified of that thing in the corner!

God: Turn on the light.

Me: I can’t..huh? Oh, yea, just a moment…

*Cassandra turned on the light and viewed a room with all kinds of destruction that could have been avoided simply by turning on the light*

Ah.

Aha!

Too often we wait for something or for God or for this or for that.When all we have to do is to turn on the light in our lives.

There are things we can do right now.That will help pave the way for us if we would just do it.

There are things life has been trying to get us to do for many years but we have neglected to do them for all kinds of reasons.

I’m trying my best to get out of my own way. I am surprised at the amount of times I have gotten in my own way.

I’m no longer afraid of turning on the light. Okay.Sometimes I am still afraid, Yet, I turn them on. I need to see.

It’s nice been able to see. I look forward to learning more about me. In the light.

Thank you for allowing me to show you a bit of me and my darkness. I am doing my utmost to love me everywhere. Ah. Aha!

turning on the lights so I can see,
