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

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.
One step.

You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
Rise above your circumstances.
Stand on the shoulders of your difficulty.
Soar among the storm clouds.
Rise above your fears.
Stand on the shoulders of adversity.
Soar upon the fierce winds.
Rise above your small expectations.
Stand ten toes down.
Soar as high as you can.
Rise!
Stand!
Soar!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Wow, was I just a big dummy just now….hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!
I have been listening to some uplifting music videos, on the television, while also working on some pieces and looking at an uplifting video, by Myles Monroe, who was talking about how to receive God’s Promises and talking about prayer, on the laptop.
Anywho, he had said something super motivating and I wanted to replay what he said. Instead of reaching for the mouse I, ehem, ooops, reached for the television remote and grew frustrated pressing buttons to rewind the computer!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!
I was in the middle of a rant when it dawned on me to look at what I was holding in my hand. The TELEVISON remote, Cassandra!
Long story shorter, mouse in hand, I corrected things…lol.
I just stopped by to remind you to find the joy in your day. Even in the midst of doing dumb things! 🤣🥰
Hahahahahahahaha!
Be encouraged this day. You will make it to the other side of your current storm.
I love you. Be good to your amazing self. Love yourself. NOW. As you ARE. Change will come in due course.
I got your back in prayer. Meet me in the comments would you please and thanks.

Note: Aw, beloveds, find the joy. It’s there. Buried beneath your worry. Cast your cares upon He who loves you and cares for your life. As do I.

Try, even when it’s trying! You CAN. You WILL. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHJI_g3xHLa/?igsh=MnBhZTR6ZzRoNG5u
I feel like a complete idiot.
I’m having a blast, though! I’m learning how to add music. I’m sure I will either be too loud or it will be too low. So what? I won’t know unless I DO.
In the past, beloveds, I would never do until I did things perfectly. I wanted to get things “right” first. Smh.
Now, I just do and put my results out there. I am NOT my results. My mistakes do NOT make ME a mistake!
I used to judge myself, harshly, by my results. Or, lack thereof.
Results vary. Try not to base your worth, your value, or on your perceptions of your performance.
I am looking forward to posting today’s catastrophe, er, video results. I do so, in part, to may, perhaps, hopefully, giving someone else the courage to put their results out there.
Don’t be swayed, but what other folks think of your results. They are viewing things through THEIR lens. Our job is to DO. Period. We leave the results with God/Life/The Universe.
Keep trying, even when it’s trying!

Learning can be such a pain.
The back half is all black as my phone and technology is being a pain.
Have gotten meal prep done, load of laundry done and this half done.😂🤡🥰
I hope your weekend has been as fantastic as mine. Rested. Snacked. Encouraged. Stored. Rinse. Repeat…hehe.
Be encouraged.

It’s time to cut through the noise, beloveds.
It was only after I fought with my fears, and WON, that I was able to cut through the noise and begin to see a path.
Before, ALL I could see was pitfalls. ALL I could dream of were nightmares of imminent disaster and destruction.
I told myself I would NOT give in to the fear that was hounding me.
I got mad. I told fear to get the HELL OUT OF MY LIFE!!! I was NOT having it HERE!!!
Currently, the world seems to be filled with nothing but negative noise. The heck with all that!!
Add YOUR positive voice to all the foolishness.
Do NOT add less to your day!
Things are NOT hopeless!
You are NOT helpless!
You are NOT less than!
Get up and LIVE!
I mean it.
Let’s goooo!
Cut out the noise. Then, get on with the LIVING of life. Enough already with this merely existing nonsense!
Yikes. I’m fired up today…lol.
fired up and LIVING,
Cassandra

Note: This IS your time. It is. Go on now. Fear not. Take fear with if need be. Just go.

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.😳❤️🩹❤️💙🫂

If I must, I shall die clutching a dream.

#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: Fight, beloveds! We shall NOT go down into that gentle good night!
We SHALL make a way. Some kind of way.
Ah, God. What do we DO with these dreams of ours? Asking for many friends.
Be encouraged. The road has been long. No matter. Move FORWARD. Look UP. We CAN. We WILL. 2025 will give up our bounty!

“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, 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.
