I’m going to do my best to love this ghosting world.
Even when I don’t understand.
I CHOOSE to receive/accept God’s/Life’s The Universe silence when I NEED words the most.
Even when I don’t understand.
I BELIEVE all WILL come out in the wash.
Even when I don’t understand.
I’m going to keep moving FORWARD.
Even when I don’t understand.
Sometimes, beloveds, I just don’t understand.
I fussed at myself for not understanding.
I fussed at God for not being more easily understood.
I fussed at Life for not being more understanding.
The Universe understood but remained silent, notwithstanding…lol
Be good to yourself, beloveds, as you make your way through a life that seems to be going every which way without your knowledge or consent.
Things take time. I am learning that the process can be maddeningly slow! Give yourself the time it takes. How long is that? It takes as long as it takes. Yikes.
This morning, I started to get up to work. Then, I made coffee and turned off the laptop. I had promised myself the weekend off from striving. I need to keep my promises to rest. As do you.
I brought out my fancy crystal coffee cup. Whose up for a cup?
Rest. Cut yourself some slack. Start again. Rinse. Repeat. There is no defeat in accepting that we will just not understand everything ALL the time.
This is a truly challenging time, beloveds, if you are a lover of justice, peace among ALL men, unity and prosperity for ALL.
Rights are being stripped away. Long held beliefs that the disabled, the elderly, the young, the unhoused, the hungry, and all those in need were taken cared of.
No longer are those things held sacrosanct. Now, beloveds, liberty/justice/opportunities/care/regard/esteem seem to be for sale. But, only to the highest bidders. Only to those of the male persuasion. Only to the apparent CHOSEN race(s).
Hogwash and straight back to hell with all that nonsense/lies.
Beloveds, this world ain’t playing with any of us. We are ALL being challenged to be a light or to turn away from the hard darkness whilst ringing out hands in despair and defeat.
There is NOTHING new under the sun. History repeats itself. It does so now. Just because some governments are doing their level best to erase/rewrite/whitewash(pun intended) history, will not change all that has happened.
History is watching. It watches ALL of us. It notes EVERY action, every action.
History SEES every wrong done, every right that has been righted.
History NOTES who feeds the hungry, ignores the cries of the elderly/young.
History has selected each of us to be HERE, NOW, in THIS time. Wishing this were not so, that we were somewhere else will change nothing.
Still, beloveds, we were CHOSEN for this time. We were made to overcome it! We were given all the love, care, hope, perseverance, joy, strength, laughter, forbearance, fight, act right, and being aboutness to bring all of this foolishness to an end.
I just stopped by to tell you to be encouraged. Live. Love. Laugh. Make a difference where and when you can. Spread this message in as many places as you can. Share this piece. Share my blog. Help me reach more folk.
We were born for this. Life is worth living. Even the hard parts.
This too shall pass. Let me hear from you in the comments. Surely, I can not be the only person on 🌎 earth feeling this way?

Note: We only get this one shot at life. Do NOT believe the lie that life is nothing but chaos. Chaos thrives in fear and from folk turning away when a need is there. I choose life. I choose love. I choose to lift my voice. I choose to open my arms. I choose to offer my shoulder to ALL who need one. I love you, world, even as you are acting the biggest fool. I pray for all. Be encouraged. This too SHALL pass.
And for EVERY person calling themselves Christians while rejoicing over the hurt/harm of others, shame on you. You are NOT His. Get some act right. Get a life. Reacquaint yourselves with Christ. He IS who yall said you would follow. Pick up His Word and read what He said to do for the meek, for the hungry and for the world.
Apologies, beloveds. I have had just about enough of watching TikTok videos with folk celebrating craven/awful behavior just because it is being done at the hands of and for the benefit of billionaires.
History IS watching. I plan on being on the right side of it. I love you.
God: No, beloved, what are YOU going to do about it?
Me: I don’t know. Something.
God: Get back to me AFTER you have done all YOU know to do. Didn’t I leave you an instruction manual?
Me: Well, yea.
God: Didn’t I give you many 📦 gifts such as love, faith, trust, joy, laughter, hope, tenacity, fortitude, foresight, forbearance, perseverance, integrity, brains, fingers, toes, shoulders, heart, mind, soul, spirit. Need I go on?
Me: Well, no. A bit of sympathy would have been nice, though.
God: Need I remind you about….
Me: Never mind…*pout*

Note: Keep going! What are YOU going to do about it, beloveds?
I’m ready to launch both of my youtube channels. I’m excited. I’m doing them for the right reasons.
I have been praying and praying and meditating and talking to myself about why I want to do my channels.
I plan on one motivational channel and one nfl sports channel. I love encouraging people and I love the NFL.
I cannot tell you how much joy and peace I found when I finally admitted to myself that I have always secreted wanted to talk about all things in their favor on a youtube channel. I just didn’t dream that I could do so because, for one, there are not that many women who are doing this. There are also not many people of color.
I decided to throw my hat in the ring and. be one of them. I cannot tell you how much fun I have making. corny, ridiculous motivation.
I just stopped by to encourage you to do your own ridiculous, outrageous and completely scary dreams. What do you have to lose? Let’s find out together.
tenacity. Be tenacious in all things dream related.
The ONLY thing lacking in you…
belief in YOU. Believe in YOU, beloveds. God/Life would NOT have entrusted you with these dreams if you were not well able to bring them into the light of day.
EVERYTHING we see, beloveds, was produced from the heart of someone. The computer you write on, the phone you play with, the clothes you wear, the refrigerator you eat out of, the very roof over your head, came from the heart of someone.
Someone created the plans. Someone made the tools. Someone built the thing.
What is the difference between them folk and YOU? Their belief in themselves. They got about being about it, until they brought their dreams into the light of day. You and I can, we must, do the same!
Let’s go!!!!!

Note: We lack NOTHING we need to complete our tasks. The ONLY time I get into discouragement and despair is when I focus on my bank account or the awful job market. The instant I focus on my goals and do SOMETHING, the instant fear/doubt/discouragement has to take three seats.
You lack NOTHING, beloveds. Keep getting after it. Keep standing, ten toes down, on FAITH!
When ALL you have is faith, you have more than enough!
Nuff said. Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: I don’t know why things are getting harder the more I believe, the more I pray, the more I hope…*sigh*.
I DO know that I am going to continue to stand on my FAITH. Fear can take two seats up in this house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha!!!
Don’t let your fraidy keep you afraid for too long, beloveds. It’s okay to fear the future. We all do, from time to time. We get to listening to the lie that death, doom and destruction is mixed up in our unknowns.
None of us knows what the future holds. Enjoy ALL your moments, beloveds. These are all we get. Asking for A Friend. In case no one told you today: I love you. So does He.
Why Can't I Be Loud?!
