I have been enjoying me beloveds.
All of me.
The loud me.
The quiet me.
The silly me.
The serious me.
The introspective me.
The extroverted me.
The industrious me.
The lazy me.
The overweight me.
The corny me.
The ridiculous me.
I have just been enjoying me. It feels good.
Enjoy being you. Allow this world to get to know you.
enjoying me,
Cassandra
Note: Nuff said.

You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
Just when you think it won’t…
It will.
Just when you think He won’t…
He will.
Just when you think it will never happen…
It does.
Just when you think all hope is lost…
It’s not.
Just when you are ready to throw in the towel…
You don’t.
Just when you have decided to give up…
You won’t.
Just when you figure you will turn loose of your try…
You can’t.
Why?
Because, just when you think it won’t…
It will!
Be encouraged.

Note: Work was beyond a pain. Spent two hours getting something resolved that should have only taken 20 minutes. Was shuffled from person to person. I am tenacious. I ended up with one of the peep who did not help me. No matter. I politely asked for the same thing for the millionth time.
Apparently, persistence DOES win out, in the end. Leastwise, my work issue did. Was I ready to throw in the towel? Yes. Did I? Heck no. I had work things to do.
Don’t allow a little hard to throw you off your game. Keep at it. Scream, on the inside. Smile, on the outside. Can’t let hard see you sweat!
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
Thank you, beloveds.
Yes, if you are reading these words, I was, I am talking about you.
Why?
Because only someone who loves as you do, would even be here.
You care.
A lot.
That caring has brought you much pain.
A lot.
That care, though, has impacted the world.
A lot.
Be encouraged.
Keep being you.
Your time will come.
Your time HAS come.
How do I know?
The Universe sent you here so I could tell you so!
Ah, beloveds, stop selling yourself so short. You look around you and don’t see much. The Universe looks within you and sees:
Everything!🥰
These are not words meant to inspire. They are truth. Your life is an inspiration. Be inspired by it. Stop dismissing it. Stop dismissing you!
Your dreams are playing hide and seek for a reason. What is that reason? Great question. Keep asking.
dreaming with you,
Cassandra
Note: Your love, your life, your try, has touched the heart of God. You have touched mine. I am changed.
One step.
One step.

You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!

Note: Life is short. Every moment is precious. Stop wasting time on what you don’t have. Enjoy the process and keep it moving.
Remember how truly amazing YOU are. There is only ONE you in the whole of the world. How awesome is that?!
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
Don’t be ashamed of your why, beloveds.
Why?
Because, your why is YOUR why.
Just because your why is completely different than my why, doesn’t make your why less valued, less seen, less important, less heard.
I have been enjoying watching Van lifers. I find them fascinating. They are in every age, sex, color and money bracket.
Some are living the high life. Some are scraping by, not by choice. Some are living in tiny whatchamacallits. Some are living in huge howonearthdidyoumakethats!
Today, I ran into one who was thinking of giving up because of the judgement of others.
Stay, I shouted at the television!
Do you!
BE you!
😭
She made me more determined to reach as many hearts as I can. If I could reach her, I would tell her this:
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
I can’t tell her. I CAN tell you. Every day. Every one.
Yes, the world scoffs at my persistent, clumsy, ugly ashtray try. I offer it anyway.
Keep doing your why. Why? Cuz you are loved and had best believe you are NOT alone. Love someone. Starting with me. In case no one has told you today…I love you. So does He 👑.
Good habits are hard to break.
I told myself I was gonna take a few days off from writing. Work has been challenging and I have been super tired.
I found that I had saved up enough time to take a day off with pay.
I have been so focused on hanging in there. And trying to make is meet that I had not realized I had saved up enough time where I could take a day off with pay.
I had used up all my time due to fighting with grief and not feeling the greatest.
I told myself. I would not allow grief to stop me from living my life the best way that I know how.
I kept getting up even when I didn’t want to. I kept doing the dishes even when I didn’t want to. I kept writing even when I didn’t want to. I kept trying even when I didn’t want to.
One morning, I woke to find the day was not quite as hard as yesterday. I found myself laughing in the day. I found myself reaching out to others in the day. I found myself rejoicing in the day.
Good habits really are hard to break. Good habits will keep going even when you can’t. Good habits will get you out of bed. Good happens will keep you working. Good habits will keep you trying.
Hang in there, beloveds. Don’t worry yourself if you’re having a hard time starting some good habits. Just keep trying. Every day.
Over time, good habits will take over for you. Good habits will slap things out of your hands. Good habits will put on your walking shoes. Good habits will take you for a walk.
Keep going. You got this.
making good habits with you,
Cassandra

One step.

You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
Keep singing, beloveds.
In the rain.
Dance in the puddles.
Splash dirty rain all over your bestest clothes.
Laugh.
Splash again.
Rejoice.
Re-engage.
Then, get back in the fight.
The rain is watering your harvest!
Yes, you may add your tears to the rain.
Just don’t quit.
Just don’t lose heart.
Just don’t walk away from your faith.
You got this.
You CAN.
You WILL.
As will I.
be encouraged.
Cassandra
Note: Be encouraged. Am telling you this as I am telling me. Had some hard things happen today. Things I could do absolutely nothing about. Things that directly impact my job.
I refused to allow what I see to affect what I KNOW:
I am loved. I am not alone. God loves me and cares deeply for my life. God fights for me. The Universe cheers for me. My try IS changing things. It’s changing ME.
Keep going. Tell hard ha and keep it moving…
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
Keep sticking the days, beloveds.
You are building 🏢 YOUR legacy.
Don’t worry about how long it’s taking.
Don’t concern yourself about what others think it looks like.
Don’t sweat about what God and Life will do with your legacy.
Just keep building.
Keep trying.
Don’t worry about the outcome.
Embrace the hard.
Laugh at your mistakes. Make as many mistakes as you can.
Cut yourself some slack.
Take time to rest.
Take time to celebrate small victories.
Take time to understand when you hurt over your defeats.
Be sure to take love ones on your journey.
Make new friends.
Reconcile with old enemies.
Remember life is short.
Above all else, beloveds, keep holding yourself accountable.
You can do this thing called life. Everything you need is already inside you.
Let’s go! We have things to do.
doing things,
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: Okay, so you are supposed to be doing things, remember. Get going. I love you. Love someone. Starting with you.

🗒: I find myself puttering around at almost 2 am. Why?:
I miss mom.
I miss dad.
I miss a me that is not so tired.
I miss me at 30. Where did all the years go!😳
I miss not having to worry about bills.
I miss where I am from. I have been away from home base for more than 20 years now. Wow. Where has all the time gone?
Anywho, the night woke me and reminded me to tell you:
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
I don’t know if I can, beloveds.
Don’t tell, okay?
I don’t know if I ever will.
Don’t tell, okay?
My want to does not want to.
Don’t tell, okay?
I’m afraid I won’t always overcome my fears.
Don’t tell, okay?
I don’t know if the love I seek will ever find my heart.
Don’t tell, okay?
I don’t know if I will ever get to my beloved ocean.
Don’t tell, okay?
I wonder if not many days will show up for me.
Don’t tell, okay?
Me: I don’t know if You will. Don’t tell, okay?
God: Okay. That said, I will. Trust me, okay?
Me: K

Note: Sometimes alone is awfully loud. Don’t be afraid to let your alone be loud.

Why Can't I Be Loud?!
