Work smarter, not dumber, er, harder(tired).

I am having to spend this morning organizing things I organized while tired. Smh.

I look at this tired mess and can only shake my head.

At the time, beloveds, I told myself to just “hurry up and get it DONE, Cassandra!”.

And, yea, God did suggest I rest and take care of things when I could think straight. And, of course, I knew better. Dummy me.

I just stopped by to stop someone from doing the foolish thing of working themselves into the ground.

We serve NO purpose when we have overextended.  Everyone loses. We end up having to redo or rebrand or…

You get my point.

Take stock.

Take a breath.

Then, and only then, beloveds, take action. Action, for action’ sake is counterproductive.

Life is short. Get in your rest.

Work smarter, not dumber, er, harder(tired).

Filling the other half:You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)

Ah, beloveds, I am daydreaming. I am calling in a bit of love.

If you have a love, swoop them up and swoon with them to this.

If you are not looking for a significant other, swoon towards the dream you are wooing and seeking!

Take a break from your hard and dream. Ah, God. Help us get there. Where ever our there may be drawing us towards!

Given this is so, beloveds, let greatness be your new normal.

Let greatness set your path.

Allow greatness to take you places you have never gone.

There is no reason you can’t. You can. Use April to usher in your best self, your best life.

I’m looking forward to what life has in store for me. Are you?

Note: I will NEVER forget the morning when God whispered to my heart “You are not your pain”. Never.

Even now, I can go back to that moment: I was on my way to work. I was sitting at the stoplight. Tears had been streaming down my face.

I was worried. We had moved and I now had a 30 minute commute I could not afford the gas for.

I hated, hated, hated driving in the early morning hours. The roads were skinny, hilly, curvy and super nerve wracking.

I hated the scary roads. Yet, I enjoyed blasting my praise music and singing at the tops of my long.

Anywho, I was at that light in tears. I didn’t know what to do. I needed gas money. I needed to complete that scary ride.

I felt like one huge ball of pain.

“You are NOT your pain”.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

True story.

LOL.

This actually made me laugh out loud.

Have a fabulous day today.

Beloveds, please don’t stay focused on all the foolishness happening right now. There is plenty of good. Enjoy some good. Be some good to someone. Laugh.

Do something for no other reason than it felt good to bless someone. Life is short. Live. Please and thanks.

One step.

You are the miracle you have been looking for!

You are more than what you are going through!

There is more to this life than your struggles.

There is more to this life than just what you can see.

There is more to you than you give yourself credit for!

It can be easy to feel as though we are nothing more than the painful things we go through.

These times pass. Until they do, hang in there!

I have stopped making things so easy.

Lazy is super mad at me.

I have stopped making things so easy for lazy.

I had a snack area conveniently located next to my bed. Hence, lazy enjoyed snacking in bed.

I moved my coffee station from next to my work desk. Now, I make later go into the kitchen to make the coffee. This way, I get to stretch my legs, while lazy gets some act right first thing, in the morning!

I have been pondering whether I would have made such drastic changes if not for the tornado I went through.

I will never know. I DO know that I CHOSE to make the devastating event work for my GOOD.

I could have, just as easily, chosen to whine, complain and use the tornado as an excuse to give up. I didn’t. I won’t.

I have used all this hard, to my ADVANTAGE. I have found a want to in me that I had NO idea was there.

I had not the first clue how resilient I actually am. I secretly thought I would cave if things went on “for too long”. This has been far from the case. The harder things have been, the harder I fight. For me. For my dreams.

Ah, beloveds, don’t let your lazy keep you from seeing, from experiencing your resiliency, your tenacity, your strength!

You got this. You do.

Beloveds, these times are here to show you how truly amazing/special you are!

Lift up your head!

You have NOTHING to be ashamed of!

You are exactly where The Universe knew you would be. Everything that has gone on, in your life, has been factored into the equation.

Stop judging yourself so harshly. If you have fallen, laugh, get up, try again. Rinse. Repeat.

In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He.

Speak: Your voice is unique. Your voice is needed.

EVERY day, lately, ALL I have been hearing is that MY voice is not needed.

I have been told I am NOT needed. The 🌎 world has been telling me that NOBODY gives a damned about hearing MY voice.

To that, my dream whispers, still, “Speak”.

I will. EVERY day.

Speak, beloveds. This world needs to hear from you.

Your voice is:

Unique.

Needed.

Uniquely qualified!

What have YOU to say?

Listen: Teach yourself a new way.

My friend taught me a lesson without even trying whilst we were engaged in conversation.

He offered me PATIENCE, instead of growing impatient or indifferent, when I went all impatient and indifferent, in trying to defend my position/thoughts.

It was HIS patience, HIS obvious care, HIS willingness to allow me to be a bit ridiculous that stopped me in my tracks.

I realized I WAS being a bit of a buffoon. I realized it was coming from a place of PAST wounds, not PRESENT feedback.

Growing up, we were raised that we had to raise our voices to be heard. There were 13 kids plus two adults.

15 folk all hollering to get their point across. Not terribly effective.

On top of that, I have a loud voice. Yikes!

I am learning how to communicate more EFFECTIVELY. I am teaching myself to apply more moderation and consideration of others.

I am learning how to be more patient with me as I work to overcome old lessons.

I stopped by to encourage someone to keep doing what you are doing. Change takes time.

You may already be a great listener. We can all use a bit of tweaking though, right?

Have a great rest of your day.

Beloveds, I have a WONDERFULLY, AMAZING secret to tell you. Come close.

Ppppsssst…

Did you know THE most crucial person who can and needs to love you is…

YOU!

Yep, YOU, beloveds. Click play, close your eyes and listen and get your heart filled a bit.

YOU really will be the biggest change for your life. Here you have been waiting for God, for Life, for The Universe to send you the person that will change your life.

Tada!

Aren’t you glad I shared this magnificent secret of life to you? There are many life secrets that shall open before you as you open your heart and allow things in.

Even seemingly foolish assignments and thangs…lol.

Get out there and live.
