Somebody’s dreams won’t let me alone. Is it you?

Somebody’s dreams won’t let me alone. Is it you?

They call out to me. They ask me not to give up on them. They ask me to keep reaching out to YOU, beloveds.

Oh, that you could have been with me AFTER the tornado came and tore my whole world apart.

The ONE thing I thought of was reaching out to folk to let them know how truly short life is.

Beloveds, it can be gone, in an instant. Use what you have. Now. You do NOT need anything else yet. And, the things you’ll need SHALL be added to you as you walk in FAITH, standing ten toes down, with all that you know.

I spend my days asking how many folk can I reach. Today. Now.

Life is short.

Stop chasing things that won’t matter two years from now.

Stop worrying about folks who scarcely remembers your name!

Get out there and live the dreams that folk thinks are ridiculous. They are. So what?!

Every amazing thing ever created was doubted at first. Some of those things are doubted still.

What are YOU waiting for, beloveds?

Note: When I thought I was going to die, I was sad. For a time. I told God that all I had given this world was ME. Didn’t seem enough somehow. He said I was more than enough. I am. As are you.

All we can give is what we have. Give what you have. It is enough. YOU are enough.

Maybe, just maybe, beloveds, God spared me from that tornado to share THESE words. What a thought. Since I can’t know, I shall spend the rest of my days letting folk know they are loved and not alone. Fever and all. Speaking of which, Kleenex and soup are calling me. Come hang out with me in the comments.

In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Never forget this.

You are loved.

Never forget this.

You are valued.

Never forget this.

You can.

Never forget this.

You will.

Never forget this.

Your life has worth.

Never forget this.

Your dreams can be obtained.

Never forget this.

You can thrive outside your comfort zone.

Never forget this.

The end is only the beginning of something new.

Never forget this.

You can start over as many times as you choose to.

Never forget this.

You can do this.

Never forget this.

This too shall pass.

Never forget this.

Now, get out there and LIVE!

524 days: Leave the world 🌎 better off for your having lived.

524 days! Consecutive! Come hell or high water!

524 days of putting my all on these pages.

524 days of trying to leave the 🌎 better off than where I found it.

I plan on doing 5,000 more. Until I am no more.

I have no time to be fretting about all the darkness about. I’m too busy shining my light. I’m much too busy being a light. For someone.

Leave the 🌎 world better off for you having lived, beloveds.

Starting again hurts. Start anyway.

😭

🚨

🚧

*sigh*

I have spent the past two hours battling tears, frustration and doubt.

I have been trying, quite unsuccessfully, to figure out how to transfer work from my phone, to the computer, so I can continue.

ALL I have managed to produce is an empty coffee cup and an even emptier me.

In the background, inspirational music plays. In my heart, conflicting emotions rage.

Ah, God. WHY must this be so blasted hard all the blasted time?

It’s time to start again. Yikes.

I will keep going until I get there. Wherever there turns out to be.

hopeful,

Cassandra

Filling the other half: Til You’re Home

I’m ready for my dreams to get home. I’m ready to walk with them in the daylight.

I’m ready to fulfill this dream and then start a new one!

In the meantime, beloveds, I dream of home. I will continue to walk towards my dream until I get home.

dreaming again,
Cassandra

Note: What are you dreaming of? As you dream, continue to move forward. We have things to do.

Filling the other half: Follow My Rainbow

I’m doing the best I can to follow my rainbow.

Are you?

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: My dreams used to be heavy. They used to feel hopeless. Not anymore. They seem possible. I wonder if there is a pot of gold at the end of my rainbow. I’m going to do the best I can to find out.

Repeat after me: You are worthy.

Repeat after me:

You are worthy.

You are worthwhile.

You are worth it.

Beloveds, the world 🌎 is forever telling us what we are not:

Black folk are not qualified because they are not intelligent.

White folk are entitled to it because they are white, not because they earned it.

Women are to be seen and not heard.

The young are to be seen and not heard.

Old folk are no longer important enough to be seen or heard.

Gay folk are not to be seen or heard from.

Transfer folk…they are not to exist.

Republicans are hateful fools who vote against their own interests.

Democrats are woke idiots who need to owned.

Rich folk are too rich to be bothered by common folk.

Poor folk are too busy worrying about finding/keeping a roof over their heads to think about being seen or heard.

Beloveds, I see you. I hear you. I just stopped by to tell you that I love you and that I care for your life.

Be encouraged. Be a light in all of this darkness. Lift up your head. Be YOU. Do your best to love others. Especially those who don’t look like you, who don’t talk like you, who don’t live where you live, who don’t have what you have.

Life is short. Stop looking at your neighbor as your enemy. Stop making yourself an enemy through hatred, misogyny or fear.

Karma is a real bitch. She is fixing to dish out some FAFO to those in need of it.

Life is short. Shine your light. The darkness can not stand once the lights get turned on.

Note: I am beyond all the hateful/hurtful rhetoric being tossed around the 🌎 world. Enough! I’m tired of the hateful/harmful words being tossed about from every community. Enough!

The fact that more grown folk are not ashamed of acting like fools and children is embarrassing/shameful. What happened to parents teaching their children diversity, equity, and inclusion? Since when did these words become a crime? Embarrassing. Do better, people.😳❤️‍🩹❤️💙🫂

It don’t make sense until it do.

“It don’t make sense until it do”.

What a ridiculous and nonsensical sentence that makes NO sense. Until it do. Until you think about it.

Hhhmm.

Life often makes no sense. Until it does.

Until you:

Fight through the noise.

Fight your way through your fears.

Do that which you thought was initially impossible.

Understand you were your biggest enemy.

Find out you were your best friend.

You were smarter than you thought.

You have been an idiot more times than you’d care to admit outloud.

It was them.

It was you.

It was life.

It doesn’t matter who/why.

Your lack of faith moved nothing.

Your faith moved a pebble.

Life is what YOU make it.

Laughter helps just about everything.

Sometimes, nothing is funny.

Being alone sucks.

Being alone is fantastic.

Your own grass feels pretty good.

There are too many distractions in other folk’s grass.

Sometimes, it’s best to order brownies from the bakery.

Yea, beloveds, it just don’t make sense. Until it do.

Cassandra

It’s time: Assemble!

It’s time, beloveds.

Time for us to assemble.

Time for us to begin again.

Time for us to reclaim that which was wrongfully taken by fear/doubt/anger.

Time for us to restore.

Time for us to get some get back.

Time for us to redeem our try.

Time for us to do what it takes to make things happen.

Rise.

Walk in INTEGRITY.

Run to the fight.

Yes, things are different. Yet, WE are different. We are:

Stronger.

Mindful.

Mighty.

We are well able to pursue our enemies and to overtake them.

We are in the fight of our lives. We fight for the freedom of dreams. We fight to shine our lives. We fight to overcome.

These Avenger trailers fire me up!…😂 I hope you clicked on the link and got fired up as well.

I did NOT want to get up this morning and keep my promise to myself to 📝 write, daydream and plan for my future. Lazy wanted to stay in bed. Later agreed. Later, remembering what happened the last time it sided with lazy, rushed to make my ☕ coffee. 😂

*Cassandra dons her cape and prepares for greatness*

It’s time, beloveds. Stop waiting for someone else to rescue you. Rescue yourself!

Get out of bed.

Work on your dreams.

Work on yourself.

Fight for the underdog.

Shine your light.

BE the light.

Now, how you won’t be able to have an amazing day after THAT inspiration is beyond me.😁😳🥰

Get out there and LIVE.
