You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: I say these words to someone EVERY day. I say them to myself EVERY day. Why? Because we ARE! Nuff said. Be encouraged…

Fear, you do NOT run me.

Fear, you do NOT:

Run, me.

Own, me.

Scare, me.

I will NOT:

Quit.

Stop.

Worry.

I SHALL:

Persevere.

Stand.

Thrive.

Any more dumb questions from you, fear?

Good!

Get the hell out of here.

waiting patiently,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Don’t let your doubts and fears intimidate you. Age keeps hollering at me that I am toooooo oooooooold. Told age to kick rocks. Finances telling me disssaaassssterr is here. I told finances to shut up and take TWO seats, one being for inflation and the other for recession!😳🤣

Rejoice, beloveds. Straight through the hard. Laugh. Straight through the terrifying. Love. Through it all.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU

What are you waiting for?!

What are you waiting for?!

Life is short.

I could scream.

Ack!!!!!!!!!

I am soooooooooo tired of watching folk hide their hearts because they have been hurt by others who were too hurt to see or love them.

Or, folk who are too afraid of being hurt to try.

Or, folk who have gotten with folk they KNOW don’t love them simply to be in a relationship.

Enough!

It is enough!

YOU are enough!

You ARE enough!!

You ARE!!

So, just BE, darn it!

Life is short.

You may get hurt.

So what?

Love, beloveds.

Let folk love you.

Rinse.

Repeat.

loving this stupidly stupid world,

Cassandra

Heart ♥ Check Friday.

It’s Friday.

You have done your week. It’s time for you to put away your phone and breathe.

Take a walk.

Take a break.

Don’t worry about taking stock.

Don’t worry.

You have tried. Enjoy the fact you tried. The results are not your concern. They shall be what they shall be.

Give yourself a hug.

Give someone else a hug.

Laugh.

Love.

Receive love.

Rinse.

Repeat.

enjoying today,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: I love you.

Stay with it.

Stay with it.

When things are hard…

Stay with it.

When you are tired…

Stay with it.

When you are discouraged.

Stay with it.

When you are hard, tired and discouraged…

Stay with it.

staying with it,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Keep going. Stay with it. Even when the last thing you want to do is stay with it. I hear you. It gets old and tiring fighting for dreams which stay maddeningly just out of reach. Be encouraged. I encourage myself every day. I must admit, I would dearly love to pop my try upside the head about now.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU

Repeat after me.

Repeat after me:

I choose.

I will.

I won’t.

I care.

I try.

Now, get out there, beloveds, and happen to your day!

happening to my day,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: It seems like the popular way to make money now is to scare the hooey out of folk and convincing them love is unattainable, being civil is unnecessary, being hateful is preferred, being ridiculous is acceptable. It’s not.

Keep being a light. Yours may be the only light around. So what? Even a tiny light WILL dismiss the darkness around it.

Live. Love. Laugh. Care. Empathize. Above all, keep your act right acting right.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU

Believe me. Yea, no.

Fear: Look at me. You will NEVA have the things you want. Believe me.

Me: Yea, no.

Doubt: Trust me. You will NEVER be able to do that. Believe me.

Me: Yea, no.

Anger: Listen to me: You will NEVER get where you want, so don’t try. Believe me.

Me: Yea, no.

Hell: Trust this: You will…

*Cassandra interrupts and 😂 laughs and laughs*

Yea, no.

God: *clearing His Throat to speak*

Me: Yea. You had me at hello…

believing in Him,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: I believe. I hope. I trust. I try. I choose…

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU

Your why IS enough.

Why?

Three letters.

One word.

Such a small thing can lead to a vast array of:

Everything.

Nothing.

Why?

Knowing why, KNOWING why, or why not, IS everything.

It took me forever to know my why.

Why?

Because, I was chasing everyone else’s why, for my life.

Why?

Great question!

The Universe also asked me to ask myself:

Why do you?

Why do you want to?

Why won’t you?

Why could you?

Why should you?

Is your why your reason why you do what you are doing?

Once I discovered my why, I no longer wonder if my try is enough.

Why?

Because my why IS enough.

For, me.

For, God.

For, Life.

For, The Universe.

For, you?

I have no idea. Yet, that would be a you problem, wouldn’t it?

We spend entirely too much time fretting that our why won’t be enough for this one or that one. Enough!

Keep on being you.

Why?

This world NEEDS you and your weird why.

being my why,

Cassandra

Note: How is your heart today? I am missing mom. Christmas is Sunday. Ah, mom…

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU

Hello Monday!

Hello Monday!

It’s great to see you!

Thank you for all the treats and laughs you have stored up for me today!

I choose to embrace all you have to share with me today.

I choose to love in this day.

I choose to forgive in this day.

I choose to live, with intention, in this day.

I choose to rejoice in this day.

Hello Monday!

So good to see you. I got thangs to do!

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Don’t believe the lie Monday is to be dreaded. Monday gives us another week to begin again and again and again…

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU

Your obstacles are not obstacles.

Your obstacles are not obstacles.

They are:

Opportunities to grow.

Chances to overcome.

Moments to improve.

Time to shine.

Greatness to live.

Wins waiting to happen.

Routes to strength.

Precursors to satisfaction.

Don’t fear the hard, beloveds.

Don’t grow too weary at the never ending obstacles.

Smile. They are the introduction to the greatest story ever told!

Stay in the race.

Endure.

Embrace.

Overcome.

Ah.

Aha!

overcoming with you,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: You can do this! You shall. Be encouraged.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU
