God told me no.

Me: Take these dreams away from me. I don’t know what to do with them.

God: NO.

Me: Give up on me then.

God: God, no!

Me: Take away these desires then. They are too hard to carry unfulfilled.

God: NO!

Me: Fresh heckamiah…

God: Hang in there.

Me: NO!

God: Hold on.

Me: No!!

God: Be encouraged.

Me: Crap! How can I argue with that?!

holding/hanging on,

Okay, let’s keep going. We got thangs to do. Life is tough right now. So what?! Keep going. Embrace the hard. I am fixing to have a cup of coffee and talk to mom in my heart. I miss her. Don’t forget to love on you.

Differences.

I was watching my cooking shows and the man got to making beef tongue.

Ew, I thought.

Then, I thought:

Well, I DO enjoy a good chicken breast.

Hmm.

Thinking this, I thought his joy in beef tongue was not so ewwwy.

Pork shoulder.

Leg of lamb.

Chicken thighs.

Hhmm.

Maybe I should become a vegetarian.

Ears of corn.

Yikes!

Hmmm.

Maybe I should eat tater tots the rest of my life.

Marveling at differences,

Cassandra

I find it terribly sad when folks hide within their own thoughts and tribes and viewpoints. What makes the world so fascinating is the differences we all have and can share. Different is not bad. Just different…*shrug*.

Speaking of which:

Keep on being…YOU

You are NOT alone.

You are loved.

Forgive me, beloveds. Posting my usual, in reverse order, is going to drive my twin up ten ways. Delicious. She is screaming as we read this.😆🤣😂

You matter.

I enjoy looking at this saying. It makes me smile. I like to share it, from time to time.

You matter.

Yea, I am talking to YOU!

Oftentimes, folk look around and think others are more worthy of time/attention/love.

You are equally as deserving.

I just wanted you to hear it today:

You matter.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Nuff said.

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: My heart just won’t leave me alone. Keeps saying there are a bajillion folk who don’t feel and know they are loved. I love you. Love you back, okay? Asking for A Friend.

You do not have permission to quit.

Period.

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Share ALL of you.

Share ALL of you.

STOP hiding the parts you think folk will dismiss as this, that or the other.

BE all you can be as best you can.

REACH as high up as you can and let Life take care of the rest.

REST knowing you have done and given your all.

Nuff said.

Note: Okay, so the piece was a note. Smh. Live. Love. Get going now…🥰

The Universe said NO!

Me: I want to quit. May I?

The Universe: H to the NO!

Me: I want to quit. May I?

God: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Me: I want to quit. May I?

Life: Hell no! Do you WANT all hell breaking loose every which way?!

Me: I want to quit…*sigh*.

Jesus: I understand…*sigh*. You must not quit. You have too much no quit in you.

Me: *sigh*…*sniff*. This is hard. I want to quit.

Me: I know. You must not quit. This same mountain will be here, tomorrow. What will you do with it then?

Me: I shall keep trying.

Me: Crap.

Me: Fresh hell.

Me: Ah, God.

Me: Mom.

Me: Whew.

Me: I can.

Me: I WILL.

Me: I CHOOSE.

choosing to try,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: You do NOT get to quit. I don’t give two hoots how hard it is. You don’t have to move the whole mountain. Not today. Just a pebble. If the pebble is too heavy, move a grain of sand. If the grain of sand is too heavy, ask God to help you move it. He has strong hands/shoulders.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

No such thing as convenient.

There’s no such thing as convenient.

Life happens. Never had a convenient time.

Share your heart with others. You are not an inconvenience. You are not a burden.

Don’t believe the lie that you are too much trouble.

Let folks know what you need. Your needs are important.

You are more than what you offer to the world. Life is short. Be sure to ask for what you need.

There will never be a convenient time to go through hard things. There would never be a convenient time to share hard tRuth’s. There would never be a colleen time to confront your pride.

Keep going. Enjoy your life. I know I say the same things everyday. We need to hear them everyday.

I hear a cup of coffee calling my name. Take care of yourself for me.

Be encouraged. In case no one told you today:

I love you.

here,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Keep reaching for your dreams. You got this.

Fear, I gotta break up with you.

Dear fear,

We need to talk.

I need to walk.

It’s not you, fear.

It’s me.

See, The Universe, FINALLY, convinced me I don’t need to listen to you anymore.

God, FINALLY, convinced me I don’t need to be led by you anymore.

Life, FINALLY, convinced me I don’t need to fear you, to fear ME and my dreams anymore.

Don’t take it personal. It’s not you. It’s me. I no longer believe your lies. I believe in me now.

Go away now fear. I have no need of you.

Do me a favor. Tell doubt I’m coming for it next!

Your former fool,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Get to writing your own letters! Time we broke up with ALL that keeps us for being and presenting our best selves.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU

Don’t allow yourself to be the reason your dreams don’t come true.

Keep taking out the trash. Keep doing what’s needed to make a dreams come true. Keep going even when you’re tired. Keep going especially when you’re tired.

Be encouraged. You are loved and you are not alone.
