Fear, the ONLY thing I am losing is you!

Kick rocks, fear!

I am tired of you trying to scare the bejeez out of me with your threats and lies.

Fear, the ONLY thing I am going to be losing is YOU!

Get gone!

You will NOT, fear, cause me to fear.

No way.

No how.

I don’t care what things currently look like. I KNOW all things work for my good. I KNOW I am loved and am NOT alone. I KNOW my efforts are NOT in vain.

Be off with you, fear!

I shall NOT allow you to have me all up in my feels. You can both take two seats.

Ha!

ALL you are doing, fear, is helping me to strengthen my faith muscles. That’s ALL you are doing. ALL I am allowing you to do in and for me, fear.

I run my life.

I CHOOSE.

I believe.

I have faith.

I rejoice.

I embrace what happens in and for my life.

Go way from me, fear.

I ain’t worried about you.

laughing through it all,

Cassandra

Note: Do NOT allow fear to scare the bejeez out of you. Tell fear to stop lying to you and to kick some rocks. You do NOT have to live a life limited by fear and doubt. Be encouraged. Keep moving forward. Though the steps may seem small and slow, your steps are producing much.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Oh, God! My dreams won’t let me alone.

Me: Oh, God!

God: What on 🌎 earth is all the fuss about?

Me: My dreams won’t leave me alone!!

God: What are they doing?

Me: Nothing! That’s the point!!…*stamps foot*

God: What are your dreams supposed to be doing?

Me: How on 🌎 earth would I know?! YOU gave them to me! WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS!!…*snorts and stamp BOTH feet*

God: Hhmm. That DOES appear to be a tad frustrating.

Me: Tell me about it.

Dreams: Tell me about it!

Me: Why you keep bothering me dreams?!

Dreams: Great question. Keep asking…

Me: OMG! Do you see?! What is the purpose of being given dreams I have NO idea how to fulfill or make real in REAL TIME!!!!!?

God: Great question. Keep asking…

😳

asking through a maze of what in the fresh hell is this,

Note: I know. I know. You are as sick of my uplifting notes as I am of 📝 writing them! Give me my dreams, Universe!!…*stamps foot*

Keep going. Today, our dreams may finally wake us up and take us for ☕ coffee…

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU!

It’s okay to not understand.

I told God I just don’t understand.

God said, “I understand. It’s okay for you not to understand.”

Kind of hard to argue with that!

I’m finding it’s okay to not understand. What a relief. Whew!

It’s nice to know I don’t have to run the world. Whew!🌏😂 Neither do you.

We don’t have to all at once. We don’t have to! Period. Whew!

Take the haves and the shoulds from your life. Do because you CHOOSE.

Love, just because. If love is returned, enjoy the miracle of reciprocated love. If not, you loved. The Universe will bless you for giving, to a world, which loved you not.

Give, just because. If you receive, enjoy the blessing. If not, don’t become bitter. God, will honor your giving, to a world, which gave you nothing, in return, for your everything.

Do, just because. If others do for you, enjoy the efforts, made on your behalf. If not, don’t despair. Life, will love your try, for a world who tried/tries not, for you.

Keep going. It’s okay to not understand.

waiting patiently,

Cassandra

Expect more.

Expect more.

From, yourself.

Do more.

For, others.

Give more.

To, the world.

Why?

Why not?

Why not you?

Why not now?

🗒 : Nuff said. You are loved and not alone. Keep on being you.

My life is in Your Hands.

I am, currently, bellowing Kathy Tracolli’s “My Life Is In Your Hands”.

I love that song!!!

I’m not sure the neighbors are loving my howling rendition.

Opps.

I love me some Him!

I loooooooooooooove You, Lord!!!

Ah, beloveds, sometimes I just gotta let Him KNOW how very much I love me some Him!

I am saddened to see so many folk who use God for every other purpose than to share His Love for man.

I try not to get preachy all up in my blog. So many have been hurt in the name of God, in the name of supposed ‘religion’ that the very word God sends folks running for the hills. I don’t blame them.

Anywho, beloveds, there are times I just have to holler my love from the rafters.

Allow me to preach, just a smidge, in order to say:

For God so loved the world….

Ah, God.

I love me some You.

Whew!

Okay.

I’m done.

I pray for each and every heart that comes across this blog. I pray for each and every heart that shall never meet me or read a word I write. I pray for each and every heart that is hurting and in need of comfort.

I pray for each and every heart that is longing to know that he/she/they are loved. I pray for each and every heart that is hungry. I pray for each and every heart that is wandering and wondering.

Be encouraged, beloveds. Be at peace. Be still and know…

here as best as I can be,

Cassandra

In case no one told you today…

True that!

Be encouraged.

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Enjoy your Monday. Love someone. Starting with you.

Real talk: Keep putting the work in.

I’m tired.

I made a promise to get all my pieces done, for the upcoming week.

We are so busy I barely have time to think, let alone write. So, after work, right after work, I told myself to get to work, for ME.

I put in an additional four hours. Yikes! Whew! Ack!

Yet, I have kept my word, to me, to my writing, to you. In the past, I would have used work as an excuse not to work on MY dreams for my life. No more. Life is just too short.

Keep putting in the work for YOUR dreams and goals. Keep putting the work in your relationships. Keep putting the work in healing. Keep putting the work in.

Then, rest. Give yourself time to breathe and let the seeds, of your efforts, grow into whatever The Universe has in store for them and you.

I am tired. A good tired. I have done my work. I have done my try. For ME.

I hear a cup of coffee hollering my name. Care to join me?

satisfied but not,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMatterstoMe

Note: Okay, really? Scat! Get to living and loving folk….

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Thank you for the hard days.

God, thank You for the hard days.

They help shape me.

Life, thank You for the hard days.

They help make me..me.

Universe, thank You for the hard days.

They help me to grow.

Hard days, I thank you.

I used to:

Fear you.

Blame you.

Avoid you.

Now, I embrace all that you have to teach me. I appreciate all that you reveal about and in me.

Hard days, I grow weary of you, at times. Yet, I shall continue to embrace you.

Do me a fave, hard days, go ‘way, now, and let me have a bit of rest. I shall await your return.

grateful for the hard,

Cassandra

Do you YOUR way.

I had been wanting to create a blog.

For, years.

And, years.

And, years.

I did not create one.

For years.

And, years.

And, years.

Why?

Because, I was afraid that my brand of writing would not be received. Meaning, my heart wouldn’t be received. My heart is:

Weird.

Wonky.

Ridiculous.

Hmm.

Was trying to find a third ‘W’ but I am just too tired to think of one. See, beloveds? What other person writes such ridiculousness but ME!?

Something in me, though, just would NOT let me rest.

Then, God joined the party, and would NOT let me rest.

Then, Life joined the party, and would NOT let me rest.

Then, The Universe joined the party, and would NOT let me rest.

Okay.

Okay!

I gave in.

I creted my blog.

The blank page laughed at me.

The cursor winked at me and beckoned me just to try.

So, I clutched my heart and tried.

Badly?

Clumsily?

Boringly?

Inspiredly?

I have no idea.

God knows and He ain’t tellin’.

He just tells me to keep on writing. To keep on loving. To keep on trying.

All I know how to do is to try. And, to write. And, to love. And, to give.

Until?

I have no idea. Until I am no more, I imagine.

I just want to encourage as many folk as I can to keep on being…YOU!

However you are.

Do you YOUR way. Not how the world would have you to do and be.

Who knows what YOUR way will produce?

Are these sentences making sense? I hope so. They are mine. All I have. Written clumsily. Yet, written.

Ah!

Aha!

Get to writing your chapters, beloveds. The world needs the story called your life.

writing with you as me,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Okay, so what in the world are you still doing here!? Get gone. You got thangs to do!

One step.

Uncategorized: Time to dream again.

Time to dream again, beloveds.

I know. I know.

You have given your all for naught.

You have tried.

It looks as though your dreams were put in the Uncategorized bin.

Again!

Lumped in there with all the other ‘Uncategorized’ folk and their dreams.

Seems like the world just doesn’t know what to do with our weird, with our try, with our unique blend of occasional dumbness mixed with precious goofness.

Yet, it’s time, beloveds, for us to dream again.

And, again.

And, again.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Get those dreams back out.

Dust them off.

Get ready to live some of them outloud.

In the meantime, keep on believing in yourself. You have much to share. You have much to contribute. Don’t be as the lazy or the apathetic. Keep blazing your own path and trail. We need as many new places to visit as we can get!

blazing hew paths with you,

Cassandra

Note: Ah, beloveds, get on out there and live. Go on now. Whatchastilldoinhere!?
