It’s Friday.
You have done your week. It’s time for you to put away your phone and breathe.
Take a walk.
Take a break.
Don’t worry about taking stock.
Don’t worry.
You have tried. Enjoy the fact you tried. The results are not your concern. They shall be what they shall be.
Give yourself a hug.
Give someone else a hug.
Laugh.
Love.
Receive love.
Rinse.
Repeat.
enjoying today,
Cassandra

Note: I love you.
Happy Fri-yay!
Whew!
We made it!
Our haters hated.
So what?
Life did that.
So what?
Our try was hating on us but still tried.
So what?
We failed. Many times.
So what?
We loved and nothing seemed to happen for us.
So what?
We gave all we had and received no return on our investment.
So what?
We lived.
We loved.
We tried.
We laughed at our failure many times.
Ah.
Aha!
Keep living and embracing your life and all that happens within it. Life is not about who can collect the most toys.
What is life REALLY about and for? Great question! Keep asking…
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being… YOU
Keep getting up.
I know. You are tired. So am I.
Keep getting up.
I know. Your heart isn’t in it. Neither is mine.
Keep getting up.
I know. You are tired of fighting alone. You preaching to the choir!
Keep getting up.
Why?
Your:
Breakthrough.
Miracle.
Dream.
Is waiting!
Keep getting up.
getting up with you,
Cassandra

I REFUSE to be the reason:
My dreams don’t come true.
Love does not come my way.
The Universe does not hear from me.
My family is not supported/loved.
My job does not receive the best of me.
Things may not turn out as I thought they might.
Life may not go the way I figured it would.
God may not give me what I feel He ought.
So what?
I fight on.
I love still.
I carry on.
I move forward.
I look upward.
I absolutely REFUSE to be the reason. Ha!
being about it no matter how I feel,
Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: I have been telling my feels ALL day to shut up! You have NO idea, beloveds, how badly I want to pull out a can 🥫 of woe is me and how comes!
I fight on. Why? I got thangs to do. Those thangs don’t seem like they are in a hurry to get here but ALL that is required is my try. Simple as that.
Keep going. These last steps are hardest because you are at the heart of the fight/journey. Keep going. Rest. Rinse. Repeat.
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU
Repeat after me:
I choose.
I will.
I won’t.
I care.
I try.
Now, get out there, beloveds, and happen to your day!
happening to my day,
Cassandra

Note: It seems like the popular way to make money now is to scare the hooey out of folk and convincing them love is unattainable, being civil is unnecessary, being hateful is preferred, being ridiculous is acceptable. It’s not.
Keep being a light. Yours may be the only light around. So what? Even a tiny light WILL dismiss the darkness around it.
Live. Love. Laugh. Care. Empathize. Above all, keep your act right acting right.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being… YOU
Fear: Look at me. You will NEVA have the things you want. Believe me.
Me: Yea, no.
Doubt: Trust me. You will NEVER be able to do that. Believe me.
Me: Yea, no.
Anger: Listen to me: You will NEVER get where you want, so don’t try. Believe me.
Me: Yea, no.
Hell: Trust this: You will…
*Cassandra interrupts and 😂 laughs and laughs*
Yea, no.
God: *clearing His Throat to speak*
Me: Yea. You had me at hello…
believing in Him,
Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: I believe. I hope. I trust. I try. I choose…
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being… YOU
Why not you?
Why NOT you?
Why NOT YOU?
Nuff said.
Get out there and do it.
You CAN.
You WILL.
Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe

Let’s keep walking with authority and in our integrity.
Let’s keeping doing right simply because it IS right.
Let’s keep on laughing.

Note: I am gettin my pieces done. I am keeping my promises to me. Yes, it hurts when silence echoes through a room we wish filled with sound. Yes, it hurts when dreams tarry too long. Yes, it hurts when our try ends up in a heap of a whole lotta nothingness.
Yet, ah, ow and oh! Be encouraged.
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU
Why Can't I Be Loud?!
