The unknown is unnerving today.
The unknown is unsettling today.
God has my back.
I KNOW Him.
That settles it.
Which settles me.
Hold fast, beloveds. The unknown can be absolutely terrifying if you focus on what you don’t know. Focus on what you DO know: You are loved. You are NOT alone.
Be encouraged.

Note: My phone is silent. No job offers. No calls for coffee ☕. 56 is alone. Will 57 arrive with her in the same place? I don’t know.
Still, I give my all EVERY day. Why? Because we get ONE shot at this thing called life. Maybe my all will lead to a bit of something for me. Some day. In the meantime, I’m trying my best to give my something to someone. My something may be enough one day…
One step.

Give yourself away.
Your smile.

Your never-ending youth.

You are priceless.
You are precious.
You are infinitely loved.

Don’t fret.
Don’t stress.
Don’t fear pressure.
Pressure is a privilege.
Pressure only visits the worthy.
Pressure will only reveal itself to the humble.
Pressure reveals.
Pressure works with only those few souls who are undaunted by fear and failure.
Pressure accompanies greatness.
Pressure precedes the victory.
Pressure manifests magnificence.
Pressure unleashes the before untapped essence.
Embrace the pressure.
Welcome this sign that you HAVE arrived.
You have made it to THE final stages.
Ah, pressure.
What shall you reveal about me?

Fear.
Make it take the long hard road. Don’t make it easy for fear to scare you from your path.
Doubt.
Make them take the long, hard road. Don’t make it easy for them to wreak havoc in your mind.
Apathy.
Make it take the long, hard road. Don’t make it easy for it to discourage and dissuade you.
Do the hard thing. Work through the difficult thing. Make hay with the impossible thing.
Dreams are miracles WE make happen in real time!
Go on ahead, beloveds, and create your miracle. While so doing, remember YOU are a miracle.
believing in and with you,
Cassandra

You are here, beloveds.
You have arrived. This is your time.
It’s time. Time for you to reveal your greatness for all the world to see.
You have been preparing for THESE moments your whole life.
Fear not. If so, take fear with you! These are the moments you have been waiting for.
Enjoy them. Do your best. Try. Then, let the chips fall where they may.
You may win. You may lose. Whatever the result, you gave your all.
There is beauty in your try. YOU did. YOU loved. YOU gave. YOU strove. YOU endured.
In spite of. Despite. Through it all.
Be proud of you. NOW. Don’t wait for the outcome to decide if you are satisfied.
Be filled with joy. NOW. These are awesome moments. ALL of them. The building of. The making of. The success of. The defeat in.
In ALL of your moments, beloveds, take in the wonder of YOU. You tried. You gave it all you got.
You have been preparing for these moments your whole life. Enjoy them. Enjoy YOU!

I don’t know if I am ready for THIS promotion.
You are. The Universe would not have promoted you otherwise.
I don’t know if THIS will fit me.
It might. Try it out and see.
I’m not sure if I will like THIS.
You’ll never know until you try. See if it fits.
Ah, beloveds, The Universe is asking for you to have FAITH. In YOU. In your try. Keep going. The game is not finished. You are not finished. You are just getting started.
Rest as needed. Then get back in the arena and give it your all. Leave it ALL on the field. If you must lose, lose knowing you did all you knew to do. You can live with the outcome after that. Let’s go!!!!

Ugly.
Unwanted.
Unpopular.
If I ad a dollar dor every time I have been called ugly, growing up, I would be a billionaire.
I have been thinking about life. A lot. My life, in particular. Other folks live early and often.
For perhaps the first time, I wonder if my care would have been so caring had I been “acceptable” back then?
Would I try so hard to let folk know they are loved and not alone if I had not grown up lonely and alone?
Would my try try so hard to encourage others to not give up, even as I had to fight to stay encouraged all these years?
Would I love God so much because He loves me no matter what, given I felt so little love for so many years?
Ah, beloveds, I can’t really answer that, can I?
All I can do and have done, is to have used all of the ugly; the name calling, the isolation, the eating at the lunch table alone, to propel to and through a life of love.
I’m not ashamed of me. I’m not ashamed to be ugly. I think I am beautiful. Inside and out.
I am overweight. So what?
I have never elicited cat calls from men who should have known better than turning women into trophies and mirrors to make themselves feel better. So what?
I have never lived amidst trappings that enticed the eye and made me a supposed envy for folk to want to emulate. So what?
I’m me. Unapologetically. I have a ridiculous laugh. I tell dumb jokes. I have a huge heart. I have a Buddha belly a wise man would be honored to lay upon knowing the priceless heart that resides inside me.
The world may call me/think me ugly.
Ugliness makes me beautiful.
loving me some me,
Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: I write these words for all the folk who are running around feeling like an imposter. Too many feel worthless because of what they have been told through their lives.
Others feel this way because they believe they need to live amongst wealth in order to be valued and feel valuable.
Each of us has value. Each of us are worthy of time and care.
I plan on spending the rest of my ugly life uplifting others and finding the beauty in the ugliest things. Be encouraged.
One step.

You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
