Real talk: Try, even when it’s trying!

Tada!

Another masterpiece. I am particularly pleased the background music is not super loud.

I enjoyed my try. I forgot that I don’t know what I am doing. I forgot about not feeling well. I forgot about limitations.

I simply enjoyed the process. How simple.

Have an amazing day today, beloveds. Do ONE thing that will take you closer to your dream.

Take ONE step. A tiny step. A shaky step. Still, it will have been a step. Go!

We got thangs to do, beloveds. The world awaits to open before you.

Get after it.

What the what the?!

What in the fresh hell?!

Heckamiah Jeremiah!

I enjoyed every frustrating, exasperating, maddening minute. ❤😎🥰🤗

What worked yesterday did NOT work today. Yesterday, I was able to embed the video here. Today, I had to fight just to get the Instagram link to post. Egads!

I hope you enjoy as much as I did. Be encouraged. Make it happen some kind of maddening way. Don’t let setbacks stop you from putting your effort out there.


One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Try, even when it’s trying!

Try, even when it’s trying! You CAN. You WILL. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHJI_g3xHLa/?igsh=MnBhZTR6ZzRoNG5u

I feel like a complete idiot.


I’m having a blast, though! I’m learning how to add music. I’m sure I will either be too loud or it will be too low. So what? I won’t know unless I DO.


In the past, beloveds, I would never do until I did things perfectly. I wanted to get things “right” first. Smh.
Now, I just do and put my results out there. I am NOT my results. My mistakes do NOT make ME a mistake!


I used to judge myself, harshly, by my results. Or, lack thereof.


Results vary. Try not to base your worth, your value, or on your perceptions of your performance.


I am looking forward to posting today’s catastrophe, er, video  results. I do so, in part, to may, perhaps, hopefully, giving someone else the courage to put their results out there.

Don’t be swayed, but what other folks think of your results. They are viewing things through THEIR lens. Our job is to DO. Period. We leave the results with God/Life/The Universe.


Keep trying, even when it’s trying!

I REFUSE to stand by and allow darkness to run rampant without challenge. To hell with that!

Enjoy you!

I may be 56 but I’m still 25 at heart!

Enjoy yourself. In whatever state you may find yourself.

Take some time out of your day. Just enjoy the day. You don’t have to learn every single second. Do something just because. Take a long nap. Take the day off. Take the time to do you.

Have a wonderful day.

Note: I’m tired today. I think I will shut it down early. I think that will pop some popcorn and watch movies. I have been working hard since 4:00 o’clock this morning. Tired was getting really tired. I think I will save the world tomorrow.

Give yourself permission to leave the world saving to others for a day.

Repeat after me: I am not.

Repeat after me:

I am not helpless.

I am not hopeless.

I am not worthless.

I shall help myself.

I shall remain hopeful.

I am worthy, worth it, and worthwhile.

Nuff said.

Note: I feel helpless. I feel hopeless. I feel a tad worthless when it comes to making an impact. Thankfully, my feels don’t run me. Thankfully, none of that is remotely true.

I just stopped by to encourage those who are damned tired of all the what in the fresh hell is going on in the world.

Be encouraged. Be good to you as you wait PATIENTLY for your efforts to bear fruit. Your fruit may have been meant for others to eat. Mine as well.

I may never see my 🌿 plants bear their fruit. Did I plant just so I could eat? Did I plant so all may eat? Did I plant for recognition? Did I plant because I was asked to? Ah, great questions. I plant because I care. Periodt. We fight on.

What purpose does it serve? What good will it do?

Apathy: What purpose does it serve?

Doubt: What good will it do?

Me: I’m going to find out.

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: 514 days. Consecutively. Encouraging folk. Asking for folk to give a damn. The Bible says, “Let us not grow weary, in well doing, for in due season, we shall reap, IF we faint not.”

What purpose have I served? What good have I done? Who cares, right?

I have been watching a movie where there is this guy who has been fighting injustice for five years. Every time he gets close to winning, he loses. I’m damned tired of watching the bad guy win because nobody wants to give two damns enough to…*sigh*

I would dearly love to pack up my light…*sigh*.

If there is someone who gives two figs,  say something encouraging to the class. I am going to go finish the movie and hope the good guy wins.

We fight on. Fresh hell…

Be encouraged. Keep caring.

I’m doing. Now. I’m living. Now.

I was fighting and fighting and fighting and fighting to upload my video.

I have learned WordPress will not upload a video that is longer than five minutes, unless you go to a higher plan.

I learned I can upload a video much faster on LinkedIn. I uploaded. I have decided to upload some encouragement on LinkedIn every day.

Finding a job in these streets is tough now. Whew!

Since I haven’t found a job, yet, I CAN spend a bit of my day encouraging my fellow job seekers to hang in there.

I’m doing what I can. Now. I am living. Now.

Maybe, just maybe, my words will have helped others to obtain their dream job. I hope.

Be encouraged, beloveds. Until you accomplish your goals, help someone else to perhaps achieve theirs.

Sometimes, you just need a good laugh.

This cracks me up EVERY time.

Back away from my coffee!

Have an amazing day. Look for the great in this day. Scrape out some joy. Scratch out some love and give it away.

Thankful for the hard.

This hard has been super hard.

I’m thankful.

Hard has made my faith super hard.

Hard has made harder days much easier.

I’m thankful.

I shall keep trying in the midst of the hard.

thankful for the difficulty,

Stop focusing on the waves and wind. You will make it to the other side of your trial.
