Repeat after me:
Something good is coming to/for me!
Enjoy your day, beloveds. Something good IS coming to/for you!
Rejoice!!
Something good IS fixing to come/happen to and for you. Activate your FAITH, not your FEAR. We all stand on something. CHOOSE your FAITH.
believing with and in you,

EVERYTHING in me, beloveds, wants to run away and hide.
I want to rush back to the familiar.
I want to shy away from the unknown.
I am hesitant, so am hesitating.
That said, EVERYTHING within me is straining, is yearning, is hopeful to experience NEW life.
New life is frightening.
New life is boring.
New life is challenging.
New life is inspiring.
New life is…new.
I don’t know what to do with the old.
I don’t know what to DO with this new ME.
Ah, God, what do I DO with ME, NOW?!

Note: Forgive me, beloveds, for posting more. Life is short. There are so many folk who are on the precipice of a breakthrough.
There are sooooooooo many folk on the verge of giving up before their breakthrough breaks through.
Hold on.
Hold out.
Be encouraged.
I don’t know why the fight has been so hard, this week. Still, I rise. Still, I hope. Still, I cry. Still, I believe. Still, I wash the dishes. Still, I get in my me time. Still…
Beloveds, let NOTHING keep you from standing on FAITH. There are days where it will take everything in you to fight back the fear, the darkness, the despair. Be encouraged.
You are EXACTLY where you are supposed to be. The fact you are being fought soooooooo hard, beloveds, is proof positive you are on the right path.
Keep MOVING.
FORWARD!
Keep looking UP.
ALWAYS!
We got this.
The Universe has us all.
If you experience moments of unbelief, that’s okay. It’s okay to wonder what in the fresh hell is going on and why the world has things not yet changed!
Enjoy your day. ALL of it. You are growing. You are building faith muscles you never knew you had. You are loving. You are slowly allowing your heart to open. Give yourself credit. Asking for A Friend.
In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He.

I’m feeding my mind with positive music. I would rather be stuffing my face with a croissant sandwich that is waiting for me!
I felt a pity party wanting to come upon me. I wasn’t feeling motivated. I came upon my pity party and motivation and threw them both in the shower!
Don’t waste your time waiting for your motivation to get motivated. Take motivation, throw it in the shower, and keep it moving.
When I was young and dumb, I would sit and wait, for motivation to come, before I would feel like doing anything. Of course, motivation rarely came during those waiting periods. SMH
Building good habits taught me how to just get up and do things. Whether I felt like doing those things or not. I’m ready to go back to bed. I can’t. I have writing to do. I can’t do a thing about what will or what not happen. All I can do is my part. I am doing my part. Best as I can. My part may not lead to anything great. Perhaps it may. We shall see.
Don’t stop before the job is done. How will you know when the job is done? When it’s finished!
Stop waiting for motivation to come knocking on the door. Motivation is waiting for your perspiration! Get going. You have things to do.
doing thangs,
Cassandra

Note: This has been a long month. I told myself I was going to take the day to rest. Good habits refused to let me do that. Good habits made me drag motivation out of bed. Good habits have me chasing after my dreams….lol. Maybe I shall chase down one or two of them today. I’m going to do my best to find out. How about you?

I want to give up.
Right now.
I’m tired. The roofers are roofing. The maintenance guys are maintaining. The heatwave won’t end. The bills keep piling up.
Me: I’m tired of this.
God: I know.
Me: I don’t think You are moving fast enough. Honestly, it doesn’t seem as if You are moving at all for ME.
God: I know. Will you trust me?
Me: Do I have a choice?
God: You do. I will love you however you decide.
Me: Fresh hell…K.
I am in a blaming mood. I want to blame the tornado for turning my life upside down. I want to blame my job for not caring. I want to blame friends for not caring. I want to blame me for not understanding that work and friends would not care when things got hot. I want to blame God for allowing all of this mess in the first place.
I want to lay in bed and play the blame game. Instead, I rise. I get up. I make coffee. I write. I pray. I stand fast. I choose joy. I choose to wait patiently. I don’t have the luxury of time. Life is much too short to be wasting by playing the blame game.
Today is the start of another month. I wonder what the month will bring. I am doing my best to accept whatever comes. It’s not easy. We were never promised an easy life. We can have an awesome life. It’s up to us.
We decide to love. We decide to hope. We decide to dream. We decided we quit or continue.
Be encouraged. Don’t give up. Not just yet.

Note: I honestly did not want to make my act right act right today. I want to tell my try to shut up already. I can’t. I have things to do. I’m tired of all the construction going around. I’m tired of looking at all the destruction. I’m just tired. I can’t quit. Neither can you.
It’s easy to quit when we are tired. Don’t give up. Not quite yet. You have no idea what’s beyond the next corner. Move forward. Keep looking up. It’s OK to be discouraged. Just don’t quit.
A friend told me to turn on my music and to sing real loud. I have my music on. I am singing loudly on the inside. Singing is bringing up my joy bubbles. Ah, God, where You at?
You SHALL win, beloveds, so long as you don’t quit. Don’t. Not quite yet. Your best IS still to come. It is. Ah, I know. Faith hurts when your dreams just refuse to come to you. I believe in you. God believes in you. Life believes in you. The Universe believes in you.
While we are all toiling, waiting, wondering, wishing, I gather us all and pray for faith, peace, comfort, hope, joy and special blessings whilst we continue to LIVE. Don’t spend your days surviving life. Thrive. Where you are. In the midst of hard. We got this. We truly do.
In case no no one has told you, I love you. So does He. Be well…..

God: Do YOU trust ME?
Me: Absolutely.
God: Will YOU trust MY Timing?
Me: Absolutely.
God: Nuff said?
Me: Nuff said.
God: Simple as that.♥️🎤
Me: Simple as that.🥰
It’s simply a matter of time. ⌚
It’s simply a matter of time AND trust.
It’s simple, beloveds. You either trust, or you don’t/won’t.
Do you?
Will you?

Note: There is a time and place for all that happens. Wait. Patiently. Yes, waiting can be hard. It SHALL be worth it.
All this waiting is forcing me to rely on things other than my bank account and effort. A scary place to be. I have to trust The Universe shall show up for me as I continue to move forward, to do what’s right, to uplift my fellow men and women.
THEN, I can live with whatever does or does not happen.
As I have been waiting on my dream, I have been helping out others by supporting their channels, being a moderator to keep trolls away during folk live streams, sending super chats, liking videos, subscribing to things and being the kind of supporter I would appreciate, if I had a channel.
I’m also trying to keep fam and friends uplifted more. These are tough times. I want to run away and hide. I want to use my hard as an excuse not to extend my overextended heart to others. I can’t. Life is just too short.
Be encouraged. Have hope. Choose to trust. Anyone can choose apathy and despair.
Enjoy your Saturday. I am praying for us all. In case no one has told you today: I love you and so does He.

Hey!
Yea, YOU, beloveds!
Here you are. Running around looking for a miracle. Know ye not that YOU are the miracle you have been seeking?
EVERYTHING you need to live an amazing life is already inside you. You just have to summon the courage to live. And, if afraid, take your fear(s) with you as you dive into your life.
Get after it. What in tarnation are you waiting for, beloveds? If you have to go alone, get going. If you have to go without a cheerleader, get going. If you have to go broke, get going.
Whatever state you find yourself, beloveds, get going. We got thangs to do!!!
Let’s go!!!!!!!!!
going with you,
Cassandra

God, I thought I knew me.
I thought I knew You.
I thought You would judge me harshly.
You don’t.
I thought I would do better by me.
I haven’t.
I thought You would demand that I “get it together”.
You didn’t.
I thought I would give myself the space to recover.
I haven’t.
Help me, God. Help me to love myself, unconditionally, unapologetically, and enthusiastically as You do. Help me to forgive myself for being impossibly hard on myself for not doing the impossible fast enough. Help me to remember that I am loved and not alone when I am feeling just that.

What am I DOING today?
Absolutely nothing.
Without apology.
For the first time in my life.
I am resting.
Without apology.
For the first time in my life.
I am allowing my heart to heal.
Without apology.
For the first time in my life.

#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: Who knew how difficult it would be to do nothing? I am used to running myself ragged. Yikes! Today has been absolutely delish and delightful. I have crammed as much nothing as I could into this day….hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
What shall I do tomorrow? Who knows. I am much too busy enjoying my today.
Enjoy your day, beloveds. This day shall not come nigh thee again.
In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He. Be well. Stay safe. Say hello in the comments and let me know what some of yall are up to. Send some love to Craig and Mags if you see them around…

Note: Life is full of challenges and hard things. So what, beloveds?! Get out there and LIVE. Enough with distracting yourself with hot air, trinkets and noise because you are afraid of listening to your silence.
Your heart is silent because it does not wish to hurt your feelings by telling you to STOP wasting your life lamenting over what was or what happened or what didn’t happen or what could possibly happen or…
ENOUGH ALREADY! The tornado hit. Rebuild. Restore. Renew. In the meantime, get out there and live already! Geeeeeeez!
