I am listening to Mandisa’s “Overcomer”. My heart still grieves her loss. I can’t believe she’s gone.
The rest of us left behind HAVE to keep going!
We ARE overcomers! We ARE overcoming!
We CAN.
We WILL!
After Mandisa passed away, beloveds, I wanted to hide this song and never listen to it again. Her loss hurt. Someone soooooo talented and inspiring snatched away much too soon.
Then, Life told me to play her song. She finished her earthly race. My journey has yet to be completed.
I don’t know how many more days I have left. I plan on using them to love as many folks as I can get my hands on!
I love folk. Call me cra cra if you must. I love you anyway!
Be encouraged. Remember:
You are worthy.
You ARE worth it.
You are worthwhile.
You are welcome…😂
loving you for Him,
Cassandra

OMMMMGGG!
*stamps foot*
*Cassandra considers hurling her 50 inch 📺 television over the balcony railing. Cassandra opts not to as it is freezing outside and she won’t have something to watch later.*
Jiminy Cricket, beloveds. I am trying to cram some technology knowledge into this brain of mine so I can get some uplifting videos made so I can encourage folk…*sigh*.
I have never been good at technology of any kind. It intimidates me. I don’t know why. I enjoy learning about any and everything.
For whatever reason, just the thought of doing anything having to do with computers or electronics short circuits my brain. I feel stupid. I feel small. I feel helpless.
EVERY time. The older I get, the harder it is for my brain to relax and learn.
I will overcome this. I HAVE to. My dreams are on the other side of THIS particular hard. Ah, it seems another THIS(fear of computer learning) is trying to keep me from THAT(my dream).
We all have our THIS to fight so we can get on with our THAT.
What is holding you back, beloveds? What is it that is causing you to feel a tad helpless/hopeless?
2025 is the year we FINALLY deal with THIS so we can get on with THAT.
I don’t want to go back to a job that merely pays the rent. Life is short. I am choosing to find a way to monetize my particular brand of foolishness so I can make my living loving on the whole damned world.
If anyone can point the way to a good teaching YouTube channel or blog so I can competently use Capcut and Canva, please post a link in the comments or shoot me an email. Save my 📺 television. 🥰😆
Life is short. Begin anyway. Keep trying. Keep moving forward.

Fear was loud this morning. So much so it ticked me off.
Doubt was no dummy. Doubt grabbed a towel and did some dishes. It remembered what happened the last time it tried to lie to me.
Don’t let the outside noise scare your inside peace, beloveds.
The glass is half full. Instead of crying about it, fill the glass the rest of the way!

Give yourself away.
Your smile.
Your style.
Your laughter.
Your love.
Give yourself away.
Your heart.
Your heartaches.
Your heart breaks.
Give yourself away.
Your tenacity.
Your truth.
Your never-ending youth.
Give yourself away.
You are priceless.
You are precious.
You are infinitely loved.
Give yourself away.
This world needs the unique gift called YOU.

You are one moment away.
From a breakthrough.
From victory.
From defeat.
From a glorious beginning.
From an ignominious defeat.
Keep moving. FORWARD. You just don’t know which will change everything!
Get going. Move. Try. Do something.
I did NOT want to do something today. I am tired of this unknown. I am exhausted with the high road. I’m through with encouraging myself. So what?!
I’m doing what I can. It’s a have to. The ONLY way things change is if I change them. Heckamiah Jeremiah!😭😡😥🙏
I made myself get up and get going. There may be a miracle hiding in this day. I won’t know until I find out.
Be encouraged, beloveds. You are a moment away!

I can.
I keep reminding my age of this. I keep reminding my try of this.
I can.
I want to.
I will.
Some kind of way.
What shall YOU do, beloveds?
You can, you know?
Try. Just try.
asking for A Friend,
Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: Everything around me tells me all is hopeless. Ha, I reply back! I can. I can do something. The something may be small. Yet, ONE spark can 🔥 burn down a forest!
Use your spark to change things. Starting with you. Today may be the day the world opens itself for you. In the meantime, open yourself to all life has to offer.
The best is yet to come for us. Wait for it. Be patient. Be joyful. Life is as we are making it. I am making my days glorious. How about you?

I have been waiting at the door.
Arms open.
Heart ready to receive them.
I am loving them home.
All of them.
The hurting ones.
The unbelieving ones.
The angry ones.
The hateful ones.
The spiteful ones.
The helpless ones.
The broken ones.
The lonely ones.
Why?
Because, at some point in my life, I was one of them. I was each of them. So were you.
I am here.
here as best as I can be,
Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: Too often folk will only be there for folk who have fallen as they have. Folk tend to only tend to those who sin as they do, live as they do, do as they do.
What a world this would be if we all chose to be there. No matter what. I am doing my best to do my best. I am praying that others join me.
One step.

Me: What do I say to my broken brother?
God: Tell him you love him.
Me: He’s not listening.
God: Tell him anyway.
Me: What do I say to my heartbroken sister?
God: Tell her you love her.
Me: She won’t hear me.
God: Tell her anyway.
Me: What do I say to broken world?
God: Tell it I love them.
Me: K.
Beloveds, I have been sitting here wondering what I could say that would be of any encouragement during such dark times.
Then, I remembered that Light STILL shines. In the dark. Despite the dark. Through the darkness.
Be encouraged. Things SHALL be alright. There are more folk who love and care, then those who don’t or choose not to.
History is watching us all. We shall all be held accountable for our love or for our silence.
Now, more than ever, beloveds, love is needed. Everywhere.
Don’t be discouraged. Yes, it’s terribly disappointing to see folk choosing finances over his/her fellow man/woman.
Life is short. Use yours to love one another. Starting with you!

Fear: You will never.
Me: I can’t hear you.
Doubt: Nobody cares about you.
Me: I can’t hear you.
Apathy: It’s too hard to do.
Me: I can’t hear you.
Anger: Forget about people!😡
Me: I can’t hear you.
Love: You CAN.
Me: I hear you.
Try: You WILL.
Me: I hear you.
God: I got you.
Me: I hear you.
refusing to listen to lies,
Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: Fear lies. Doubts lie. Apathy is a big liar. Anger can drown out the deepest truths.
Beloveds, it’s okay to feel. Just don’t allow your feels to run the show. It’s hard to reason when you are ready to run away and hide. It’s difficult to choose when you are fearful or the next move. It’s impossible to move when apathy sets in.
Be encouraged. Take a beat. Take a break. Make a decision. Then, get on with your life.
You got this! Go for it.
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
