It’s time for us to soar. Eagles fly. Be the eagle that you are. It’s time to see how far we can go. I’m ready to win. Are you?

Note: Look forward to your life. Put down the bills and start daydreaming. What would you like to accomplish this year? Start small. Start big. Just start. One step at a time. Just take the first one. Don’t wait for courage to catch up with you. It may never.
My bluetooth said it was connected but I could NOT hear anything!!!…*stamps foot*
You can only be paired with two devices. I was ONLY paired with two devices. Or, so I thought. Sooooooooooooooo, I had to go on a needlessly STUPID treasure hunt to hunt down the unneeded connection so I could connect THE BLASTED NEEDED CONNECTION ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally, finally, FIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNAAAAAALLLLLY, I found I had been paired with the laptop, phone and television….*shakes head*.
Long story short, beloveds, I managed, just barely/thankfully, to pair myself to the correct device.
This got me to thinking how we are so often paired with unneeded, unnecessary connections that do nothing but frustrate, disappoint and keep us from serving our purpose.
Sometimes, we have to do a periodic check to ensure we are paired to and with the correct devices!
What are you paired with? Do those connections serve you and the connected source? Are you connected to THE Source?
Are you connected to things which bring you nothing but heartache and headaches?
Take some time, beloveds, and check on your connections. You may find out that it’s not you. It may be them. It may be him or her. It may be this, that or the other which is hindering your progress.
Have a wonderous day today. Be sure to love someone in this day. Starting with yourself.

Yesterday, I had chili for breakfast. Today, I’m having tacos for breakfast. How great is that?!
Sis thinks I eat in ridiculous combinations. I ask her who made folk the food police on what we should and should not be eating? Or, WHEN we should be eating, said “acceptable” food products?
I have been enjoying my weird. my weird has been especially weird lately.
Life is short. Get your weird on!

Note: Rejoice in 2025. You spent too much of 2024 being all sad and wondering what the world is going on. Do something completely ridiculous. do something that will make you laugh out loud in the middle of doing the ridiculous. invite someone into your ridiculousness. Share all of you. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be yourself. So go on. Be yourself.
I’m getting up early. I’m getting in my hydration and nourishment.
I’m loving myself. I’m loving others.
I’m reframing my past. Yes, I have gone through some tough times, but everything was not bad. My family did the best they could with what they had. I’m moving on with a brilliant future and a wonderful present.
I have spent a wonderful day, letting folks know that they were loved and not alone. How great is that?
I have not wasted one moment worrying about bills and how I’m going to make it. I will make it some kind of way. In the meantime, I’m enjoying my life and everything that happens within it.
I can’t believe January is almost over with already. I have enjoyed every minute of it. I suggest you do the same. Be encouraged.

Note: I have so much joy in my heart right now. I have no room for fear or doubt. Feels good….
Why must I always be the one to take the high road.
I don’t HAVE to.
I CHOOSE to.
Why should I be the only one trying?
I don’t HAVE to.
I CHOOSE to.
Will you be one? Will you choose to?
asking for A Friend, Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: You don’t have to be one. Choose to be one. Choose to be one who will love and care. We will leave apathy behind. WE will leave darkness behind. We will leave hopelessness behind. In their place, we shall sow love, joy, hope and as much care as the 🌎 world can stand. Folk are waiting. Who is with me
Vertigo has been kicking my tail lately. It has come roaring back into my life in the last few days.
My vertical has not been this bad and almost a year. I think the universe gave me a reprieve because of the tornado. Or, I was too busy being scared half to death because I didn’t have a job and trying to find one. I didn’t have time to focus on having vertigo.
I don’t let it bother me. I take my time. I live my life. I take care of myself the best I can.
Don’t allow your limitations to put a limit on what you can achieve throughout the day. Do what you can. Be patient with yourself. Be extra understanding when you’re going through tough times.
I don’t know when it became acceptable for everyone to be so hard on each other. Let’s cut each other some slack. We’re all doing the best we can with what we know.
Stop limiting how far you can go. Just go. As far as you can. As best you can.
My goal for 2025 is to use my storms, from 2024, to help someone get through their storm in 2025.
Storms come.
Storms are terrifying.
Storms are life changing.
That said, we can be a beacon in the storm.
I’m doing my best to encourage others as I continue to fight my way through my own storms. I’m trying my best to bin example for others. Maybe if folks see me going through my own storm, they will have the courage and tenacity to continue working their way through their own.
I figure I may as well use my storms for a positive purpose. I’m done lamenting all the losses through the storms. I’m digging out all of the joy and lessons from each and every storm I have gone through these past years. I have much to share with others. I hope they can use the lessons I have learned.
The world needs your story. Share yourself. We need your life lessons.

Note: I redoubled my efforts today. Life is short….
Don’t waste your life waiting for folk to say positive things about you.
Stay positive. Folk are positively going to hate on you
Don’t wonder about who is saying what about you.
Stay positive. Folk are going to say anything and everything about you. True or not.
God says this about you: You are fearfully and wonderfully made. NOTHING shall separate you from My Love.
The Universe says this about you: There is only ONE you. How priceless you are!
Life says this about you: What a precious gift you are!
I say this about you: I love you, beloveds. I pray for you EVERY day. I 😂 laugh at the enemy for being so stupid as to try you. For, I KNOW, these trials SHALL have you come out as gold.
Make sure YOU say this about you: I am loved. I am NOT alone. I CAN. I WILL!
Now, beloveds, get out there and LIVE. Let today be the LAST day you go begging for crumbs of love.
Love. Just love. Love will be sure you receive your share as you share your love with others.
It has taken these last years, of terrible strain and hardship, for me to learn to just love folk. I no longer base my love, or lack thereof, on how much or if I was loved back.
I love. I keep it moving. I love it when I am loved back. Yes, it hurts when love appears unreturned. Yet, I understand folk are hurting so that most have NO clue how to receive love. Let alone understand HOW to return love.
In these days and times, the word love is tossed about soooooooooooooo casually. Too casually.
Folk have forgotten the sheer wonder of love. Folk have replaced love with lust. Sadly, they mistakenly believe lust will fulfill or tie others to them. It does not. It never will.
Life is short, beloveds. 🛑 Stop paying rent to the 🌎 world. This means, stop trying to buy love, affection, and safety by presenting yourself as something/someone you are not.
Be you. Don’t worry about the negative things people say.

Note: Step out. Be audaciously YOU. Without apology. The 🌎 world needs your particular brand of you.
I had wanted to start a blog for many, many years. I didn’t because I was afraid no one would care. I was afraid of what folk would think about what I thought. I thought my thoughts were stupid. I thought some of the dumbest things.
One day, I decided to deal with my fear and try. I tried. I felt like an idiot at first. There are days when I STILL feel like an idiot.
I feel like an idiot now. So what? I’m still trying. That is enough for me. All I can do is try, right?
Try. Just try. YOU may be the very person I have needed to propel my dream forward. I may be the answer to YOUR prayer/ hope/wish. How shall we ever know unless we try? Let’s go!
Your life has done so much more than you will ever comprehend.
You see where you have not yet gotten. The Universe sees where you are headed.
Be encouraged. Your best days are in front of you!
What kind of history are you making? Make it a positive one. make it a game changing one. Make it one where people are in awe of your integrity, your faith and your joy.

Note: I can’t wait to see what ye shall create. I root for you everyday. I pray for you every single day. Be encouraged. Your dream shall come true. Enjoy your today. It’s the only one you’ll get. I love you.
The struggle was real, beloveds. Disappointment had reared its ugly head. 56 was annoyed being in the SAME place 55 had been.
My old was feeling old. My get up and go had told me earlier to go on ahead and kick rocks.
Then, good habits rode to my rescue!
Hope joined the 🎉 party, and we decided to put discouragement and disappointment to work by making us some chili!
Up, I got. On with it, I did. Backatcha, I told fear! Ha! Kick dem rocks!
Hold on, beloveds! We fight on!
We can NOT afford to give up on our dreams!
Success is our ONLY option!
Get up! Yea, it’s tough. Yes, it’s hard. So what?! Let’s go!!!
If you are disappointed, keep at it. If you are discouraged, stick with it. Until we win.
Your dreams mean too much to turn your back on them! Ah, beloveds. Keep going. You CAN. YOU WILL!!
hanging in there with you,
Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: Failure is NOT an option for us. I wanted so badly to listen to discouragement today. Seemed like it would be easier to give in, you know?
Then, beloveds, I reminded myself of how many times I told myself that awful lie! Giving up had done nothing but make life ten times harder/frustrating/disappointing!
I REFUSE to allow quit to occupy 2025!
I’m going to keep trying. I’m going to run towards my dreams. I’m going to encourage as many folk as I can. What are YOU going to do, beloveds? Asking for A Friend…
Why Can't I Be Loud?!
