THIS, beloveds, IS your time.

Step out onto the unknown. You are NOT alone.

Step up and claim the victory sure to be at hand. You can do this!

Branch out, beloveds.

You have outgrown where you are.

You no longer need training wheels.

Step out.

Don’t be afraid to fall.

You will.

So what?

Laugh.

Get up.

Step out.

You will fail.

So what?

Or, be afraid and do the thang anyway!

There is no reason you can’t.

That being the case, beloveds, get out there and make it happen.

Dreams don’t often act on reason. Good thing for us, eh?

Your Prime membership has been revoked.

Too often, we give folks prime access, in our lives who neither deserve it nor have done the work of building on the relationship.

Periodically, I take the time to clear out my phone from one way relationships. I also clear out my inbox πŸ“¬ of all the needless clutter.

Life is short. We don’t have time to have folk taking, taking, and taking. It took us everything to build what we have.

Don’t feel bad about revoking memberships. True friends will be there for you and understand when you need some space.

True friends respect and understand your need for space at times.

True friends give you room to grow.

True friends love you when you are being charming and love you when you are being annoying.

True friends love you when you make mistakes. True friends know you are not a mistake.

There is only one you, beloveds. You don’t have room in your life for those who will not cherish you.

Prepare to be loved. Love is coming for you.

waiting for love,

Cassandra

When will I be loved, 55 asked me.

When will I be loved?

My heart has been asking this since I turnEd 55.

In truth, I have not put my heart out there. Not really. Not all the way. Not where I can be hurt.

I find myself closer to taking a chance. On me. I wonder if it’s too late. For that part of love to come for me.

I am not desperate. I am not lonely. I am just wondering. I am just wandering a bit. Towards something.

I think this is a good thing. Mom gave up her dreams for us. I am sad she didn’t do more for herself. I think she would be sad if I would do the same thing.

I want to walk on a beach with a friend. I want to talk of silly things. I want to talk of many things. I want to talk of serious things.

I would like someone to get to know the whole of me and find that me satisfying. I wonder if that should ever happen.

I am not looking for romance. I am not looking for sex. I am not looking for companionship.

I am looking for connection.

I wonder if connection will find me?

I am asking a question. I don’t know what the question is.

Do you?

It’s time you start believing in yourself.

It’s time you start believing in yourself.

It’s time to stop listening to others and start listening to yourself.

You need to give yourself more credit.

You need to cut yourself more slack.

When are you going to start believing in yourself?

I say you do so today!
