Try another way!

Damnit!

OMM MY FFFGGGGG!!

I have been trying, for hours, FOR HOURS, to transfer photos to/from One Drive so I can use them other places.

The only problem is that my phones are super old and about out of space which leaves no room for what I need to do!

*stamps foot*

This has been the story of my life for the last few years: Not enough money, not enough room to do what I need to do already!

OMGGGG!

This IS teaching me patience. Slowly, agonizingly slow, I FINALLY found an old phone that is letting me upload a bit. Whew!

This life is one big lesson. It’s up to us how we perceive, accept and utilize those lessons.

Be encouraged if you are having trouble due to lack of some kind. Keep doing what you can with the resources you DO have.

I’m learning to not waste precious time lamenting of what’s not in the cupboard.

In the meantime, I am continuing to be good to me as I go through these frustrating processes.

We got this! We WILL figure things out.

Starting again hurts. Start anyway.

🚨

🚧

*sigh*

I have spent the past two hours battling tears, frustration and doubt.

I have been trying, quite unsuccessfully, to figure out how to transfer work from my phone, to the computer, so I can continue.

ALL I have managed to produce is an empty coffee cup and an even emptier me.

In the background, inspirational music plays. In my heart, conflicting emotions rage.

Ah, God. WHY must this be so blasted hard all the blasted time?

It’s time to start again. Yikes.

I will keep going until I get there. Wherever there turns out to be.

hopeful,

Cassandra

Filling the other half: Til You’re Home

I’m ready for my dreams to get home. I’m ready to walk with them in the daylight.

I’m ready to fulfill this dream and then start a new one!

In the meantime, beloveds, I dream of home. I will continue to walk towards my dream until I get home.

dreaming again,
Cassandra

Note: What are you dreaming of? As you dream, continue to move forward. We have things to do.

Filling the other half: Follow My Rainbow

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.

Rise above.

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!

Don’t judge me.

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.

One step.

Try, even when it’s trying!

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!

Hold on to your hope.

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.

Cut through the noise.

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.

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.😳❤️‍🩹❤️💙🫂
