Do it.
Afraid.
Do it.
Uncertain.
Do it.
Uncomfortable.
Do it.
When you’re scared.
Do it.
When no one believes but you.
Do it.
When even you are unsure.
Do it.
As though your life depends upon the doing.
Do it.
When you don’t know what else to do.
Do your dreams.

Me:
Morning beloveds. Hope your day goes well.
I worked like the Dickens, yesterday, so I could sleep in, today. Apparently, someone didn’t get the memo.
Coffee is on. Who is with me to chase down some dreams for a bit today? Give five minutes to something that will propel your dreams further.

Damnit!
OMM MY FFFGGGGG!!
I have been trying, for hours, FOR HOURS, to transfer photos to/from One Drive so I can use them other places.
The only problem is that my phones are super old and about out of space which leaves no room for what I need to do!
*stamps foot*
This has been the story of my life for the last few years: Not enough money, not enough room to do what I need to do already!
OMGGGG!
This IS teaching me patience. Slowly, agonizingly slow, I FINALLY found an old phone that is letting me upload a bit. Whew!
This life is one big lesson. It’s up to us how we perceive, accept and utilize those lessons.
Be encouraged if you are having trouble due to lack of some kind. Keep doing what you can with the resources you DO have.
I’m learning to not waste precious time lamenting of what’s not in the cupboard.
In the meantime, I am continuing to be good to me as I go through these frustrating processes.
We got this! We WILL figure things out.

I love this song. It gets me fired up. It keeps me fired up..
Belief is a powerful tool. You will never make things happen unless you believe in yourself, and in your dreams.
Believe that you can do it. Know that you can do something magnificent with your life.
Believe in yourself. There are things that only you can do. There are things. only you were meant to put on this earth. We need what you have. You need to produce what you have.
What do you believe in? Do you believe in you? Why not? Why not you? Why not now?
I dare you to find out, beloveds.

“I’m tired, God. Let my actions be my prayer today.”
My actual prayer, this morning.
I woke super tired. I was super tired from yesterday’s try. I think I over tried.
I wanted to see results. I saw no results.
I NEEDED to hear from God. God was silent. He was there. Silent. Waiting for ME to do MY part. To give MY effort.
I gave my effort. I waited. Tired.
This morning, even day felt sorry for me. Day, in consultation with lazy and later, gave me permission to rest today.
I told day that today and I had thangs to do. So, I got up, five hours past my normal time. Still, I rose.
I told God I was tired of living on this razor’s edge of not knowing what this financial day will bring.
Truth be told, beloveds, finances, or lack thereof, does NOT determine how are day shall be.
I had grown absolutely miserable before I had to give up my job. And, it wasn’t the job that had me miserable. I was miserable because I wasn’t 100% investing in making my dreams come true.
Yea, I was taking wobbly steps. But, I had been walking in hidden skepticism and self doubt. I didn’t know that I had the chops to face the constant criticism that comes with putting oneself 100% out there.
I put myself out there 100% in this blog. I took the leap and put myself, my dreams, my hopes, my heart 100% out there in all of my life.
The results have been underwhelming for everyone but my fam and my couple legit friends.
All else dismiss me. They don’t know me or my heart. ALL I can do is to keep presenting my heart EVERY day. Results be damned.
It takes courage to do so. I cried, like a baby, the other day as my efforts, my heart, appeared to be dismissed.
I am THANKFUL for those tears. I am GRATEFUL for the rain that watered my dreams that day.
After my THREE cries, I examined my “failure”. I turned it this way. I shook it. Hard. I peered at it that way. I pondered. I considered.
Ah.
Aha!
Suddenly, Wisdom showed with The Lord and began to point out where I had succeeded. They laughed with me and showed me where I could have added a bit more.
They joked with me and let me know it will NEVER be about the actual event. The IMPORTANT thing is the TRY.
Yes. Then be okay with the results, They said. I will.
The necessary thing is the KNOWLEDGE gained from the try.
Did I learn? I did. Then celebrate wisdom gained. I shall.
The crucial thing is our PERSPECTIVE we take from what we think has been dismissal of our efforts.
Did folk not like you or did they simply not respond in the manner you hoped?
Even if folk did not/do not care for me, for my try, I can take comfort in the fact that I DID try. I will try again.
I just stopped by to encourage someone. Starting with me.
Be encouraged. Try. Put yourself out there. Our say will come. Our day will come. In the meantime, go make someone else’s day!

Lazy wanted to be lazy this morning.
NO!
Lazy is NOT an option.
Lazy can NEVER figure into our dreams equation!
Get up, beloveds!
Move!
Work on your dream today!
We don’t have time to be lazy.
We do NOT have the luxury for lazy.
What in the fresh hell are you still doing here?!

Dreams: Get up.
Me: Okay. Okay!
Beloveds, ask me WHY my dreams keep waking me up at 4:00 o’clock in the morning?!
All week. Every day. 4:00 o’clock in the morning. I don’t know if the universe is testing me or poking fun at me. either way, good Egads!
And every morning I have been forced to make a choice. I can go back to bed. Or I can work on my dreams. I choose to work on my dreams.
I have spent too much of my life choosing a former when it came to my dreams. Of course I would get up and rush to work and help pursue the dreams of others without question.
I am flipping the script. I am writing a new chapter. I am going to finish this book of mine. this dream of mine. I will. if I am the only one to read it this damn book is going to be written!
Get up. it’s time. You have things to do. You have dreams to fulfill. You have lives to impact. You have your own life to impact. Get up and go. Don’t wait.

*sigh*
I have spent the past two hours battling tears, frustration and doubt.
I have been trying, quite unsuccessfully, to figure out how to transfer work from my phone, to the computer, so I can continue.
ALL I have managed to produce is an empty coffee cup and an even emptier me.
In the background, inspirational music plays. In my heart, conflicting emotions rage.
Ah, God. WHY must this be so blasted hard all the blasted time?
It’s time to start again. Yikes.
I will keep going until I get there. Wherever there turns out to be.
hopeful,

I’m ready for my dreams to get home. I’m ready to walk with them in the daylight.
I’m ready to fulfill this dream and then start a new one!
In the meantime, beloveds, I dream of home. I will continue to walk towards my dream until I get home.

I’m fighting for YOUR dreams, beloveds. I have committed this day to yours.
My dreams seem just too heavy. So, I have set them down for the day. I told my try to rest. I got this. I’m going to give my try over to cheering on others today.
I was mad at my dreams last night. My dreams are NOT paying the bills. I need bills paid. I am doing my utmost to not allow desperation to overtake me and my dreams.
It’s okay to rest, beloveds. You just can’t quit. Not today. Not on the first of never. Not even on the second of we can do this later.
Go! Fight!!
Use your frustration to help you find another way. Make a new plan. Tweak the old one. Just keep doing SOMETHING.
