Hello world. I AM here.

Helllllllooooooooo world.

Yea, it’s ME.

I am here.

I AM here.

I am HERE!

You shall NOT dismiss my worth world.

I am:

Wonderfully made.

Fearless.

Worth knowing.

Ha, world!

Thought you had me.

All you had, though, was my confidence.

Jesus handed that back to me, soon as He got off the cross.

The Universe gave it back to me, soon as I began listening to It.

God gave it back to me, soon as I FINALLY received His Deep and Abiding Love for ME.

Ha, world. You can get gone now, with your dismissive tone, now. I got thangs to do.

See me, world? I see YOU. I gotcha, though, still.

I am going to keep doing me world. Best you start seeing, start believing in me.

Believe me not, world?

Matters not, to me.

I’m going to give you the best I got.

Why?

Why not?

Why not me?

I understand world.

You don’t understand how I roll.

You shall.

I’m here.

I’m not going anywhere.

Hello world.

I am here.

I am.

here,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Let the world KNOW you ARE here, beloveds. Believe in you. ALL of you. Stop hiding because of past or present mistakes.

You are NOT:

A mistake.

Your mistakes.

Your pain.

You ARE:

Loved.

Not alone.

Happy tears.

I am content.

Ah.

Aha!

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: It’s important to embrace where you ARE. NOT where you were hoping to be. You are:

Here.

Now.

Right now.

Enjoy your lives, beloveds. Even the hard parts. Even the lonely parts. Training was a beast yesterday. System issues. Got chewed out, rightly so, because I had NO clue what I was doing. Yet, today, I KNOW I gave my all. That’s enough.

I embrace today. I miss my mom. I shall have β˜• coffee and a laugh with her soon. I embrace my lonely. She is awfully lonely today. I shall listen to her quiet.

Listen to your quiet. Quiet does NOT mean you are not moving forward. You are growing. Sometimes, growth requires stillness. Ah. Can you feel the silence? Listen with me.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU

Who are you without…?

Who are you without…

Him/her/they?

Who are you without…

This/that/the other?

What are you…

Without a cause?

What are you…

Without a fight?

Whose are you…

Without a gift?

Whose are you…

Without a check book?

Are you:

Somebody?

Somebody, worth knowing?

Somebody, worthy?

Ah.

Aha!

It’s important to know why you do what you do. It’s important to know who you are. It’s important to know whose you are.

It’s crucial that you know that you don’t have to come bearing gifts to be loved. It’s imperative to know you don’t have to work yourself to death to be loved. It’s amazing to know that you don’t have to…

You don’t have to!

Ah.

Aha!

Life wants you to come just as you are. God wants you to come just as you are. The Universe wants you to come just as you are!

You are:

Enough.

Much more than enough.

Everything!

Lift up your head. Stop trying to validate your existence. You are NOT a parking spot you know.

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

here,

Cassandra

Note: Wow. How you need a note after THAT is beyond me. Okay, here:

Hhmmm.

The older I get.

The older I get…

The more I understand life is not about getting.

The longer I live…

The more I know life is about living.

The more I give…

The more I see life is about giving.

The harder I try…

The more experience how hard trying can be.

I shall keep living. I shall keep giving. I shall keep trying.

*sigh*

Cassandra,

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: The older you get…

Leaving: Mom’s most important lesson to me.

Ah, mom.

You left.

In leaving, you taught me THE most important thing to DO, in life:

Live.

Live, Cassandra.

Every day, The Universe whispers, to me.

Live, Cassandra.

Every day, God whispers, to me.

Live, Cassandra.

Every day, Life whispers to me.

Live, Cassandra.

Every day, mom, you whisper to me.

It’s hard.

Yet, I’m living, mom.

Best as I can.

Slowly.

Painfully.

Awfully.

Awfully, painfully, slowly, I live.

Ah.

Aha!

living,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: I am thankful. I am grateful. I am full. Life dealt me a hand I wish It had not. Still, I play. Ha! Still, I love. Still, I try. Still, I fight on. Life is short.

Keep going, beloveds, though the way may seem and is, hard. Go. Grow. Above all…Live!

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

No nonsense: Tell your feels No!

Me: No!

Me: Nonsense!

This was me, beloveds, when I found myself wanting to get all up in my feels because life was being mean. Or, so I thought/said/whined/complained.

It’s important, beloveds, to not allow your feels to run your life.

Otherwise, your feels will have you all up in your feelings. You will begin to say:

No way.

I don’t know how.

It’s hopeless.

I am hopeless.

It’s imperative to tell your feels NO, and absolutely NOT, when they want to act a fool and act like all is lost. All is NOT lost. Some things may be hard, at the moment. Other things, may have been removed, but ALL is NOT lost.

Tell your feels:

No!

So what?

Keep going.

Boo hoo!

Then, get back to:

Living.

Loving.

Hoping.

Life can and does happen. So what, beloveds? What are YOU going to do about it? Stop carrying on and start happening to your life! Life is not always fair. So what? Boo hoo. Now, happy? I have cried for you. I have played a little violin for you. I know, this sounds hard/harsh. And? Life is short. Hard/harsh is NOT a crime, you know.

I have been snatching my feels, by the collar, and letting them know….well, NO. You will NOT run my life. I do. It’s okay, to feel things. Just not the best choice to allow your feels to run you ragged doing things that do not serve you. Be encouraged, though. You got me. How terrible can your life be knowing this amazing factoid!?

Here,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Be encouraged. Everything will be alright. Remember you are loved and not alone. Keep being you.

Improve.

Improve.

Your try.

Improve.

Your mind.

Improve.

Your work.

Improve.

Your care.

How?

Try.

Think.

Work.

Care.

Seems like folk are looking to and waiting for others to tell them how to think/feel/do. Make your own decisions. Think for yourself.

You will make mistakes? So what? That’s what happens when you make decisions. You will also succeed. In any event, fail from the choices you make and not from the choices of others.

Last weekend training I had a partner. This coming week, I will flop on my own. It’s part of the training. It’s part of the growing. It’s part of life. I will try. I will improve. How about you?

improving,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Improve.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU

Heart ❀️ check Monday on Sunday.

Ah, Sunday.

We greet you. We shall enjoy YOU.

We promise to enjoy you, ALL day.

We shall NOT fret about your fellow mate, Monday. We shall greet Monday, on it’s day.

We promise not to tote tomorrow’s worry, into today.

We promise not to worry about the coming of Monday. Ah, Monday, we shall enjoy you when you get here. You will have much to say and show us.

How is your heart, beloveds? Well, I am hoping. If not, what’s the matter? Talk to someone. Don’t dismiss your heart and concerns. If it’s important to you, it’s important to The Universe.

Enjoy your day. Embrace the life you have. It’s yours. You only get the one. Our time is finite. That’s fine. Enough time to love someone. Starting with you.

Be encouraged.

Ah, beloveds, you on my mind today, early, as ever and always. Why? Why not you? I love you. Loving you for A Friend…

hopeful,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: What are you doing here still? Get to loving on this world. All hands on deck people!😍πŸ₯°

Writing as me.

I write weird.

Okay, so I don’t think it weird.

Just me.

The world does not seem to care for folks being them.

So what?

Keep being you.

Write.

Weirdly.

Your way.

writing weirdly for no reason,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Don’t let this world scare you into being everyone else but you. This world needs your weird…lol.πŸ˜†

In case no one has told you: I love you. Nuff said. Love someone. Starting with you.

You are loved and you are not alone.

Early I am.

Early, I am.

Saturday, I come for thee.

Early, I come.

World, you shall NOT dismiss me.

I shall:

Love you.

Pray for you.

Hope for you.

Laugh at you.

Cheer for you.

Encourage you.

Rejoice with you.

Love me.

Love me not.

So what?

There is the whole of you, world, waiting/needing to be loved. I shall do my part. I can not help what my neighbor shall/shall not do. Ah! I shall start by loving my neighbor.

Early, I am, neighbor…

loving my neighbor as myself,

Cassandra

Note: Life is short. It looks like the world has truly gone mad and has lost it’s way. The world is trying to convince us there is no right and wrong. That love of others is old-fashioned. That living with integrity is woke. I choose to be woke. Smh. Folks are running around using the word woke like it’s a dirty word. Another subject for another day. Love someone, please. Asking for A Friend.
