No does not mean no way.

No does not mean no way.

No may just mean not now.

No does not mean never.

No may just mean next time.

No does not imply giving up.

No may just mean trying harder.

No has many meanings, beloveds:

Wait.

Dig in.

Persevere.

Be patient.

Try harder.

Ask again.

Figure out what you got wrong.

Determine how to get it right.

Don’t be discouraged by the no. No is simply being a gatekeeper. One who makes for certain you are serious about your ask.

Keep asking. And asking. And asking…

*Cassandra does a jig for no reason other than being grateful for:

Being alive.

Being ME.

Being able to start again, again, and again.

Being able to see past my faults and mistakes.

Being willing to forgive me for my faults and my mistakes.

Being able to laugh at hard things.

Being willing to let love in.

Being able to let hate go.

Being able to see the sun.

Being willing to look past the storm clouds.

Ah, beloveds, let’s have a Yay Monday, shall we?🥰😎💃🏽❤😁🙏

Note: Life is short. Don’t waste another second dreading Monday or any other day.

Face what you must. Do the day. Embrace all that your day holds.

Miracles are wrapped up in hard.

Change is hidden in situations.

Growth lies amidst our circumstances.

Be encouraged. You are loved this day. By me. Why cuz? Just cuz…🥰🤗



One step.

Don’t let them change you.

Hard times.

Don’t let them change you.

Keep being the warm-hearted person you are.

Harsh words.

Don’t let them change you.

Keep speaking words of love.

Unforgiving souls.

Don’t let them change you.

Keep being the awesome person you are.

What are you doing in your corner of the world?

What are you doing in your corner of the world?

I asked myself this often.

What are you doing in your corner of the world?

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Just stopped by to encourage you to continue being and doing your why. Don’t let out where circumstances keep you from doing what you know. From doing what you know. From doing your why.

The leak was filled with nothing but nos. So much so, I wanted to talk myself into giving up. At least for awhile. Then I dusted off the nos and began digging for the yes. They are out there somewhere.

Be encouraged. You are exactly where you’re supposed to be. Enjoy the rest of your day. Take care of yourself.

One step.

Life isn’t fair. So what?

Life isn’t fair.

So what?

I can still live.

Love doesn’t always feel lovely.

So what?

I can still love.

Opportunity doesn’t seem to find me.

I can still try.

I shall.

I will.

I can.

I do.

Note: So what, beloveds. Boo hoo. You’ve had your pity party. Rise. Move FORWARD. Laugh. Strive. Give. Look UP.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

In EVERY situation.

Trust.

In EVERY situation.

Believe.

In EVERY circumstance.

Try.

In EVERY position.

Laugh.

Through EVERY obstacle.

Love.

Through EVERY hardship.

Sing.

Through EVERY drop of rain.

Dance.

Through EVERY storm.

Keep moving FORWARD, beloveds. Keep looking UP.

I have had to learn, in real time, how to LIVE, how to LOVE, how to LAUGH, how to REJOICE, how to REACH OUT, through so much hard that hard ain’t nothing but a word for me now.

Life is meant to be lived. Don’t wait til things get better. You can make things better!

Make better choices. Make better friends…lol. Make better decisions. Make the effort.

Change what you don’t like. Keep pressing towards your dreams.

I just stopped by to encourage someone who has no idea if he/she/they will make it through.

You CAN. You WILL.  You HAVE to.

Keep going.

Keep your commitments. No matter what.

Yesterday was tough.

Unexpected happenings kept happening!😳

I tried to call for support. No one was available. 🧱😡

I tried to listen to uplifting music. Frustrating told me to turn off all that noise.

Sad, mad, hopeless, angry and discouragement ALL decided to have a confab.

I told them all to confab outside!

I got up. I tried again. Nerves and all.

I went to bed. Nervous. I woke up. Nervous.

I got back after. I received yet another rejection email. I was dismayed. I applied for several jobs that required NASA knowledge.

I MADE myself put on my big girl panties and keep my morning commitment.

I have no idea what today will bring. I just know I will be bringing the proper perspective with me.

I just stopped by to encourage someone. Starting with me.

Be encouraged. Keep your humor. Keep your wits about you. Keep the proper perspective.

Yesterday was NOT fun. Whew. That said, today is a new day. A new opportunity.

I’m learning not to judge my todays by my yesterdays!😁😎

Have an amazing today.  I plan to.

Keep the worry out of your circumstances.

Keep the worry out of your circumstances.

Nuff said.
Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: I just had a potentially worrisome situation happen. There’s nothing I can do about it now. I refuse to worry. I did the best I could in this situation. Now I just have to wait to see what the outcome will be.

Don’t add worry on top of the situation. Do the best you can. The rest will come out in the wash. Be encouraged.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!
