She’s a bad mama jamma!

Heeeyyyy!!!

Yyyyaaaaasssss!!!

Scuze me, beloveds, I am currently bellowing ‘She’s a bad mama jamma’ as loud as I can legally get away with.

Don’t worry about the neighbors. They just got to watch me getting down with it in the parking lot to ‘Isn’t She Lovely’ by Stevie Wonder!β™₯️πŸ₯°πŸ’―πŸ€—πŸ˜‚

Life is short. Get your shortcomings and be about being about it!

The heating/cooling unit a thousand years old.

In need of a paint job.

Yep, just like me.πŸ₯°βš’οΈπŸ˜‚

Enjoy your spot, beloveds. Enjoy you. You are unique. So is your spot. Some of us needs more paint than others, am I right?!😍β™₯️😳🀣

Ah.

Aha!

Nuff said.

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: All this time. All these years. All my life. God. The Universe. Life. Rinse. Repeat. ALL have been leading me. Here. To this MOMENT. To this revelation. To this realization:

I CAN.

I WILL.

I AM LOVED.

I AM NOT ALONE.

Now go, They said, and tell The world these things.

I say back, I tell the world this every day. I have done so, while waiting for You to show me how. Waiting for You to point the way. Waiting for You to give me the strength. Waiting for You to light my path.

I AM The Way. I AM The Light. I AM The Truth. I AM. As am I, so are you, in this world(an Easter egg for those in the knowπŸ€”)

I have been up all night. Again. For days. Days!

I used those sleepless nights to try and understand my fellow man/woman. I used those hours to talk to God and express my bewilderment at His Constant Maddening Silence. It was sooooooooooooooo persistently loud!

For days, I thought of EVERY person who has ever crossed these pages. I asked God, I asked Life, I asked The Universe to bless each one and keep them safe. I asked for their every need to be met. I asked for a few dreams to come true.

Not ALL. I am sooooooooooooooo thankful God did NOT answer some of my desperations, er, prayers. Whew!

I NEEDED the hard. I NEEDED the silence. I NEEDED the burden. I NEEDED the lonely. I NEEDED the fight. I NEEDED the thirst. I NEEDED the hunger.

To get me back to…

Me.

Him.

Life.

The Universe 🌌.

My dreams.

My try.

Which leads me straight back to you, beloveds. How? Great question. Keep asking. Keep listening. You shall find your why. You shall REMEMBER your why. You shall Starr living your why. Why? Ah, beloveds, because the world is in desperate straits without you and your why. Get going now. Go on…

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

It will happen: Stop bugging me!

Stop bugging me!!!!!!!

I hate bugs. I hate bugs.Β  Every since maintenance had to go in my wall I have been fighting them.

Today, I also had to fight with my new laptop. Crap!

I have been discouraged all day. All night in fact. I came across a wonderful site. The logger was eloquent in everything.I wish I could be.

Looking at the excellence, I looked at my try and it just didn’t look like it would ever be enough. I began to be embarrassed by the works of my hand.

When my laptop misbehaved, it was a sign things would never work out for me!

At my lowest, the stupid bugs decided to come out and laugh at me. I felt as low as one of those bugs.

I looked at the huge mountain that contained my dreams and it just looked too big. I have no idea how I an going to reach the top.

Daring work, I was able to encourage a peer. I told him to stop letting fear hold him back. I told him to sore like the eagle he was.

I encouraged him. This encouraged me. Now, I am here encouraging you.

Keep going. Even when times are tough. Even when you try just does not feel as though it will ever be enough.

We will make it to the top of the mountain. Together. In the meantime, don’t ever allow quit to run your life.

Disappointment is just another opportunity to set up an appointment with God.

Be encouraged.

I have done all I know. This is enough. At least, for today. I shall try again tomorrow.

It will happen.

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: This was an incredibly discouraging day. I accomplished nothing. IΒ  tried.

Keep going. Even when going it’s the last thing you wanna do. I go with you. Love someone starting with yourself. Asking for A Friend.

Note:…*sigh*. Told sis I am TIRED of 55 hollering at me to get going and not know how or where to go and how long. Ack! Told her I would go encourage someone. I shall start with me. Crap.

Get back to work God said to me.

Life is many things. Often, and at the same time.

I have been doing my best to walk in the shoes of others. As many others as I can.

It has been eye opening. It has been heartbreaking.

It has helped me to understand that my heart is not as hard as some others. Yet my hard is still hard.

To me. So, my hard is important to God.

So is your hard.

I have been watching Van lifers who have been living in vehicles. Because they want to. Some, because they have to.

I rejoice for those who want to. I grieve for those who have to…*sigh*.

Life happens. To us all. Life is not always fair. Crap! 😭😑

I tell myself to keep trying. I can’t do a thing for those who have to. I can’t even do much for those who want to.

I CAN love them. I can pray for them. I can empathize with and for them.

I can’t remember who said ‘but for the grace of God go I’.

Happenstance can happen at any time. I say this not to scare you. Just keeping it a buck, as a friend said to me. I love that! Means keeping it πŸ’―πŸ˜‚.

Life ALWAYS keeps it a buck with us and let us know we can either participate or get run over.

Where ever you are, beloveds, keep going. Whether you are in a want to space or a have to space. Either way, you are loved and you most certainly are not alone.

Lately, I wonder if my why is reaching anyone. Oh, I hope. I try. That’s enough. I hope my try and my why are enough for you today. I tried.

trying still,

Cassandra

Note: Try to walk in the shoes of another. Someone is tired. Walk with them today.⁰

Starting over: Falling in love with me.

I am starting over.

Falling in love with me.

I AM enough.

My try is enough.

I am worthy of all life has for me.

I vow to:

Love myself.

Honor myself.

Keep my promises I’ve made to myself.

Fight for my dreams.

Be content with my now as I work always towards and for my future.

Share the whole of me with God, Life and The Universe.

Share my heart with those who will honor, cherish, and protect it.

I’m starting over. I’m choosing me. I’m betting on Mr. I’m falling in love.

With me.

Keep on being…YOU!

You’re always enough.

You’re always enough.

Your all is enough.

ALL of you.

The parts you love the least.

The parts you like the least.

Look up beloveds.

You don’t have to be ashamed of your life.

Be encouraged.

You are exactly where you are supposed to be at this time of your life.

Every step has brought you to where you are now.

Every step.

Every mistake.

Every mishap.

Your journey has not been a mistake.

Your journey is just that:

YOUR journey.

You will see different sites. You will meet different people. You will have different experiences.

You’re always enough.

Always.

There will be days when you have not shown the best side of you. That’s okay.

There will be days when your best chest does not seem to be enough. That’s okay.

Keep doing you. Keep being you. All of you. Stop hiding the parts that you like the least. The world needs these the most!

spitting facts,

Cassandra

Note: Uh, oh, beloveds! I feel some playful slang bubbling up. For the newbies, apologies in advance. For the old-bies, it’s just Ms. C doing her weird again.😝πŸ₯°πŸ€£

Be encouraged. I know life hurts when it feels like your all just isn’t enough for The Universe to open it’s doors for YOU. You are tired of holding the πŸšͺ door for others. I hear you. I AM you. Our turn IS at hand.

In the meantime, keep πŸ“£ cheering on others and holding the door for them. I love you. So does He.
