I believe in ME now.

I believe in ME now.

Wow.

I had NO idea, beloveds, how little I believed in MY ability to:

Reach, the world.

Touch, the world.

Love, the world.

Yes, I gave my all. Yet, there was ALWAYS this hidden fear that I just wasn’t good enough, rich enough, pretty enough, bold enough, young enough.

Truth, my ugly, or so I thought, was just too ugly to be loved. Yikes!

I no longer feel that way. It saddens me that there are millions who feel this way. Beautiful souls. On the outside, they are stunning. On the inside, they live as imposters. Thinking all they are, are trophies or baggage or burdens.

I ache for the beautiful, for the rich, for the creative, for the athletic. Their lives are pursued by clout chasers, enablers and all those who are trying to get what they have.

If you find yourself in those categories, beloveds, I got you.

If you find yourself in the hidden ugly category, I got you, as well. We are ALL beauty, at times. We are ALL ugly, at times.

I wear my ugly, unapologetically, as I KNOW that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. As are you.

I speak freely, of these things, so others may lift their head and be free of the shame and burden they carry needlessly.

Be encouraged.

Keep reaching out.

Keep loving.

Keep trying.

Your try is beautiful.

As are you.

As am I.

Take care of you, today.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Cassandra

Tell it to kick rocks!

The fear, that has been keeping you from, launching into the deep end of the pool…

Tell it to kick rocks!

The disappointment, that keeps making an appointment, with you…

Tell it to kick rocks!

The pain, that keeps being a pain and won’t leave you be, so you can just BE…

Tell it to kick rocks!

The heat, that saps alllllllllllll want to from wanting to do annnyythhhing!…

Tell it to kick rocks!

Then, dust yourself off and keep it moving. Your dreams are waiting beyond all that hard.

Get after it!

going with you,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note πŸ—’: Keep moving forward. Vertigo and heat have been arguing with me ALL day. Told them to take two seats and kick rocks!

I also turned off the πŸ“± phone so I could get a bit of rest. Turn OFF the phone/computer/tablet and REST: Your mind, your heart, your spirit. Allow yourself to recharge so you can keep moving towards your dreams. We CAN. We WILL, won’t we, beloveds?

I got your backs. I pray for you, EVERY day. I BELIEVE for your dreams, EVERY day. Rest, now. I shall do a heart β™₯ check in just a bit…

Remember:

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU

The Universe saw my try.

The Universe picked me up and placed me upon His Shoulders.

The Universe, saw my try.

Ah.

Aha!

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Keep trying. It’s in the TRY. Why? Great question. Keep asking…

β™₯ Heart check: Have a cup of β˜• coffee with me.

Just doing a β™₯ heart check.

How is YOUR β™₯ heart, beloveds? You have given all you have and know.

Just checking on YOU.

Remember to Remember YOU, would you please?

Just checking on YOU, beloveds. Let me take your broom. Sit a spell. Have a cup of coffee with me.

Laugh with me.

Joy with me.

Rejoice with me.

We have done our work, haven’t we?

Now, it’s time for us to let our work, work for us.

Who has the β˜• snacks? Pass them around.

I love me some you.

Be encouraged.

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Thank you, beloveds, for sharing a bit of my life. Life is short. I wish I had a place like this, when I first lost my mom. It’s why I try so hard to make this a safe spot for you to rest, laugh and be cared for. Be encouraged. Let someone know they are on your mind. Bet they would love to hear from you.

I believed for everyone’s dreams but mine.

I believe for everyone’s dreams but mine.

It’s not that I did not believe. I just didn’t believe that my dream for work God’s time. Even though God was the one who gave me those dreams. I used to think I was a burden to Him and the world.

Not because I believed that. Because the world told me I was just too loud. I tried to silence my loudness and fit into a quiet world.

God has spent 54 years trying to convince me that all I need to be was me. My life has changed because I finally believe Him.

It’s OK to be loud.

Unapologetically.

I spend my days now telling people to be unapologetically them.

Why?

Because God said so.

That makes it so.

Some think me too loud.

So what?

Others rejoice at the sound of my voice!

I rejoice, now, with and in this loud voice that God gave me.

It’s loud enough to shout to the whole wide world:

I love you.

Your life matters to me.

You are loved and you are not alone.

Be encouraged.

You can.

You will.

You already have.

Cassandra

Be encouraged.

You are loved.

Thank you, no.

Thank you, no.

Showing up, so many times, forced me to confront:

Disappointment.

Frustration.

Disillusionment.

Resentment.

Pride.

Fear.

Anger.

Each no, which contained my dreams, behind closed πŸ” doors πŸšͺ, only made me MORE:

Determined.

Relentless.

Hopeful.

Fierce.

Glad.

For:

The hard, which made and makes me try, harder. Which produces:

Diamonds, in my shoes.

Strength πŸ’ͺ, for my faith.

Peace, KNOWING my TRY is ALL that is needed.

Hope, that my mountain(s) will and shall move.

Joy, UNDERSTANDING if nary a dream, come true, the pursuit has been a true pleasure and joy.

So, I thank you, no, for showing up sooooooooo many times.

Shall I give up?

Uh, thank you, but no!

The Universe shall give me some yes. Yes, sit. If not, no matter. I appreciate the answer. I just needed to be heard.

Universe, gimme here. Ah, Universe, I need for You to give me the universe.

Why?

So, I can give the universe, to the world. Jesus, My Bestie, He be all that I need.β™₯️πŸ₯°πŸ€£

Be encouraged, beloveds. Begin to thank all the nos you have been getting and have gotten. They are producing oodles and oodles of precious gems and memories.

We only get ONE go around.

What in the world are you waiting for?!

going with you,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe
