Believe it or not.

Believe it or not, your dreams ARE within your grasp.

Believe it or not, you SHALL be successful if you only keep moving forward.

Believe it or not, your best days ARE in front of you.

Believe it or not, The Universe is rooting for you and ready to assist you.

Believe it or not, life is going to continue to happen, whether you engage with life or not.

Believe it or not, there are tons of folk who would love to love and get to know you.

Believe it or not, it’s up to YOU.

Believe.

Or, not.

Be encouraged. Believe in yourself. Believe you have everything you need, within you, to live a prosperous life. Prosperity is much more than finances. Abundance is much more than money. Being rich is much more that what you own.

Believe.

believing with/for you,

Cassandra

Note: The battle is won, in the mind. BEFORE, the battle starts. Be sure to win, BEFORE you win! Get on out there and LIVE, beloveds. Time to stop surviving life, just barely. Life does not have to be one endless battle. Yes, we have trials and tests and races and skirmishes to get to and through. But, life is meant to be embraced/enjoyed/shared.

Enjoy your weekend. Love someone. Start with you. I love you.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Repeat after me.

Repeat after me:

This will be an OUTSTANDING Friday!

I am going to do my best and leave the rest for The Universe to fret about.

I absolutely REFUSE to worry about the unknown. I have no idea what is about to happen. In any event, I plan on happening to my day!

I am a caring person. I care about what happens. I shall take care to be as careful as I can with the hearts of others.

I will run TOWARDS my dreams. I am done running away due to fear/doubt.

I CAN.

I WILL.

I HAVE TO!

I will cut myself some slack, today.

I am loved.

I am NOT alone.

I shall keep on being…ME!

being me,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Have a fantastic weekend. Leave worry in the shower. Be encouraged, beloveds.

System issues: Decide.

I was NOT a victim, today.

Why?

I decided not to be!

I was NOT defeated, today.

Why?

I decided not to be!

I was NOT discouraged.

Why?

I decided not to be!

I was content, today.

Why?

Why, I decided to be!

content,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Today was a tough day. Yet, super fun/joyful. Why? I decided I was NOT going to allow these continued system issues to get all up in MY system/heart! I was NOT going to spend my day lamenting and carrying on. I carried on, with my day. I laughed. I worked. I loved. I grew. I forgave my earlier frustration.

Life is short, beloveds. Decide. Be encouraged.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Keep going. It will be worth it.

Keep going. It will be worth it. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1YA_fhu2HX/?igsh=MXgwbXcwd2RjOXBj

Fear, you do NOT run me.

Fear, you do NOT:

Run, me.

Own, me.

Scare, me.

I will NOT:

Quit.

Stop.

Worry.

I SHALL:

Persevere.

Stand.

Thrive.

Any more dumb questions from you, fear?

Good!

Get the hell out of here.

waiting patiently,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Don’t let your doubts and fears intimidate you. Age keeps hollering at me that I am toooooo oooooooold. Told age to kick rocks. Finances telling me disssaaassssterr is here. I told finances to shut up and take TWO seats, one being for inflation and the other for recession!😳🤣

Rejoice, beloveds. Straight through the hard. Laugh. Straight through the terrifying. Love. Through it all.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU

Be encouraged: System issues.

System issues.

SYSTEM ISSUES!

If I hear ‘ system issues’ again, I may scream.

Ack!

Am currently engaged with our tech department in a interminable fight to get A WORKING SYSTEM!

Ack!

This is but an annoying reminder that life can be as maddening as my system issue.

It’s important to hang in there, beloveds, when all you have tried just does not want to cooperate.

Don’t fret about things you can do nothing with. It may be beyond your efforts. Just keep doing you and let others do the rest.

Keep reaching out for what you need.

Keep pounding on your dream’s 🚪 door! You don’t know who or what is on the other side.

Keep wading through all the nos to get to your yes!

Keep looking up.

Keep moving forward. If you get knocked back two steps, keep moving forward!

System issues.

Ack!

moving forward,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: I found myself with two choices: I could give in to my feels and have a good cry. Or, I could do some blogging and have a good cry…*sniff*

Be encouraged. These are but system issues that WILL pass. Don’t ever give yourself permission to give up on you. We got thangs to do.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU

Let My People Go!

God/Life/The Universe are tired. They are sooooooooooooooooooooo tired, of folk using Them, to have/get their way. They are desperately tired, of folks using Them, as strings, to get folk to believe this, do this, stop doing that, remain doing the other.

Too often, we, in attempts to have love, try and tie others down to our ways of thinking, having, being and doing. We strangle them, strangle ourselves, with expectations few, if any, can meet. It’s time, way past time, for us to let folk, off the hook.

Starting with us! We expect so much more of us than we could ever produce. We are NOT Superman/Superwoman. We are NOT able to leap tall buildings, in a single bound. We can, however, use the elevator!

Let folk go. Let them live THEIR lives. Live YOUR life.

Turn folk loose from unrealistic expectations. We are owed nothing.

Yes, it’s nice when folks CHOOSE to love us. They don’t have to. We don’t own them.

All we can do is what we can. Simple as that.

Untangle from all that keeps you bound. You got thangs to do.

As do I. Let’s go!

doing thangs,

Cassandra

Being my why.

I encourage.

It’s what I do.

It’s my why.

Why?

Beats me. Have always felt this way.

Now, I choose to spend my days BEING my why. I am no longer concerned with my try or with folks receiving me and my why.

Life is short. I wish someone had told me sooner. Am sure someone did.

My goal is to find the way to monetize my try so I can encourage a billion folk. In the meantime, I will encourage and love as many folks as my words can reach.

Ah, beloveds, you are:

Loved.

Nuff said.

being my why,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Be your why. Why? The world needs you. YOU need you. Be encouraged, beloveds. I used to feel like an outsider. No longer. I used to wonder if I could. I know I can. I KNOW I can. I WILL.

Be your why. You are loved and not alone.

What are you waiting for?!

What are you waiting for?!

Life is short.

I could scream.

Ack!!!!!!!!!

I am soooooooooo tired of watching folk hide their hearts because they have been hurt by others who were too hurt to see or love them.

Or, folk who are too afraid of being hurt to try.

Or, folk who have gotten with folk they KNOW don’t love them simply to be in a relationship.

Enough!

It is enough!

YOU are enough!

You ARE enough!!

You ARE!!

So, just BE, darn it!

Life is short.

You may get hurt.

So what?

Love, beloveds.

Let folk love you.

Rinse.

Repeat.

loving this stupidly stupid world,

Cassandra

Note: *sigh*. You are loved. You are NOT alone. Keep on being… YOU

If you knew. Would you?

If you knew this would be:

The last time.

The last time you could.

Would you?

If you knew this could be:

Your only chance.

Your only chance to do have or be.

Would you?

If you knew this was it.

Would you?

You don’t know. Life does not tell on the front end. Best get to living, beloveds. This COULD be th last, the only, the one:

Chance.

Try.

Opportunity.

Moments can NEVER be repeated. Seize them. Cherish your moments as the gold they are.

seizing each moment,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: What the world you doing here?! You are supposed to be seizing moments, remember?

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU
