Focus.

Focus on today, beloveds.

Focus on what you can do, now.

Focus on the folk in front of you.

Focus on today. Let tomorrow look after itself. Let the past stay there.

Challenge yourself.

Be more.

Do more.

Try harder.

Then, beloveds, get up and try again! And, again!

Yesterday was sooooooooooo discouraging to me. I tried and tried and tried and NOTHING turned out as I had hope.

Hope is burning a hole in my soul. I don’t know what to do with it. This hope is making the day almost impossible to get through.

I find myself breathless, with anticipation. Then, disappointment sets in at the end of the unfulfilled day.

Was the day unfulfilled, though? I tried. Hard. I loved. Hard. I lived. How can THAT be considered a failed day?

Yesterday was a good day. I’m going to keep my hope alive. I have NO idea what THIS day shall bring. I hope. Ah, God. What do I DO with me today?

hopeful still,
Cassandra

When you are done, be done!

I finished my ‘work/dream’s goals two hours early. Yay!

To reward myself, beloveds, I did more work. Just kidding. I put on one of my relaxing ocean videos and am now chillaxing, on the beach, in my mind. Ah.🥰

Chores are waiting for me.😳🤨🤔🏃‍♀️🤸‍♀️

I am NOT going to overdo like I did this past Sunday. I am teaching myself to put in the work, then sit the work down. Enough. Finito! WeBeDoneO!

I hope you are having a wonderful day. I am enjoying the day enough for ten people.

Have you worked on your dream today?

Have you gotten in enough me time this week? There is still time.

Take care.

Every day. Don’t let one day pass without you working on your dreams and your goals.

I told God the other day I was really tired. Tired of the journey, just a little bit. I will be glad when I can sip on the juices of my victory. until then, hang in there.

Good things can keep you from completing necessary things.

The phone kept pestering me to call my sis/bro this morning.

The phone knew full well I have my goal of working until noon before allowing myself the treat of a nice yak.

Even good habits has had to fight with distraction to keep me on task.

I’m glad I shared my goal with sis as she has been super supportive and has made sure not to call me before noon.

Its important, beloveds, to keep your promises to your dreams. You MUST keep the promises made to yourself.

It is NOT okay to betray your goals just because it’s you. STOP making it okay to sell yourself short!

*Cassandra turns from the mirror and gets on with her day*

We only get 24 hours to chase down our dreams. Leave the phone where it is and get going!

Let’s go!!

Note: Okay, beloveds. Back away from the phone. Enough with the doom scrolling. TikTok CAN wait, you know. The world will still be on it’s axis if you leave social media alone today. I promise.

12am!😳:Be careful what you say to your dreams.

I had given my dreams a good talking to, beloveds.

I asked my dreams to STOP waking me at 4 am already!

I’m old!

I’m 56!

I’m sleepy at 4!

I’m old, 56 AND sleepy at 4 am.

My dreams said nothing. I went to sleep satisfied. Ha!

My dreams have been waking me at midnight…🤗🥰🤣

Impossible doesn’t mean it can’t be done. You’ll never know unless you try.

Just for laughs.

It’s important to take time for a good chuckle.

With all the bad storms, nothing has been funny lately.

I took the day off to just refresh my mind. I’m glad I did. I woke up refreshed and ready to get back after it. I forgot about the storms. They have passed. They are no longer my concern.

I’m not worried about the storms to come. Storms will come. I don’t have time to wait or worry about them. I have much too much to do. So do you.

Don’t focus on the storms. focus on your goals and the dreams you have. Keep moving forward and looking up. Take some time if you need to, but keep going. We got this.

Listen: Owning my crap.

Crap.

Sheeeeeeeeeeuuit!

Ewwww!

*Cassandra looks upon decades’ worth of hollering, not listening, not being WILLING to see the other side, and rushing them to the trash heap of history*

Geeeeeeez.😯

Lessons sure are hard to learn, eh? Especially when one realizes how much of a moron one has been, over the course of time. Jimmy Crickets!

I have kicketh my behindeth, here lately. Maybe, it’s from all the studying I have been doing. I’m trying to cram a lifetime into the past few months.

Be encouraged. Keep being willing to own your uh-ohs. No fun but needed. I think I shall reward myself with a honey bun.

Have a stupendous day.
