Note: Since turning 55, beloveds, my heart has been all over the place. I have felt:

Old.

Young.

Useful.

Useless.

Used up.

I have wanted to:

Run away.

Fight.

Quit.

Strive.

Believe.

Doubt.

Laugh.

Cry.

Hope.

Try.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Living sure can be exhausting can’t it? Sure would be easier if we could farm some of this work out, eh?

Alas, Life demands we do our own homework. Otherwise, we never learn and can never know the satisfaction of OUR try.

So many folk are desperately trying to live someone else’s life because they feel their own life is not enough.

Your life IS enough, beloveds. It is. You ARE.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Be encouraged. Hang out with me. Pray my GoFundMe Page blows up. Help it blow up.🤣🎯🎤

Life is work. So get to work.

Life has been really interesting lately.

The more I work towards my dreams, the more my dreams become work.

Life is lifery like that, beloveds.

📰 News Flash: ⚠

Life IS work.

Hard work.

Tedious, at times, ⚒ work.

Life-affirming work.

Work, nonetheless.

So get to work, beloveds!

Here lately, I have been working, no pun intended, on getting to know the cultures and concepts of folk who don’t look like me.

To my amazement, I have found a common denominator of folk ALL over the 🗺world:

No one wants to work anymore!

😳

YouTube has been filled with nothing but folk quitting this, ending that, disillusioned about everything because life appears to be…work.

Folk with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, likes and comments, now comment about not liking themselves or the ‘work’.

Van lifers are now 📦 packing up, moving home and tired of having to make ‘too many choices’ about what pretty scenery to go to next. Or, they are tired of lying to folk about how ‘easy’ life is when you don’t have to worry about rent.

Yea, this means you now have to worry about where to park, where to shower, where to get water, where to dump your, um, dumpings.

All the stuff us regular working folk do, on the daily.

It’s not just happening to the young folk. Older folk, tired of the work, checked out and decided to play for as long as they could.

The 🛎 bell tolls, for us all, beloveds. The Universe demands it’s work. Life demands it’s work. God tells us to get to work. God rested on Day 7. Meaning, He worked the other 6!😂🤑

Time is money 💵, beloveds. If you want the 💵, best get to putting in the time.

Invest in your legacy. Spend time on your dreams. Get to work. As if your very life depends upon it.

getting to work,

Cassandra

Note: Get going.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Why do You keep me breathless?

God.

Why do You keep me breathless?

Life.

Why do You keep me breathless?

Universe.

Why do You keep me breathless?

Why do You keep me:

On the edge of my seat.

Suspended in animation.

At the precipice.

Of?

I know not.

Which makes me…

Breathless.

Ah, crap.

*Cassandra looks into the unknown and waits…breathless.*

Note: I had drifted off to the melodic tones of a traveler who had been describing his day. Somewhere, he said three words that snatched me from my slumber…

Pockets of joy.

My soul, one long longing for pockets of joy:

Ran.

How’s your weird?

My weird wants to know:

Why I am up so early wondering about your weird?

What is your weird doing?

Why do I care about your weird?

How weird is that?

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: 🥰🤣. You are on my minds, beloveds. Just thinking of you and hoping you are okay. Please give your heart some slack this weekend. You have been much too hard on it! Your heart is doing all it knows. The problem is we don’t have the first clue why our hearts do the random foolishness it does on the unfortunate semi regular. 🤷‍♀️

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Heart check ♥️ Saturday.

It’s Saturday!

Workwise, it’s actually my Friday. So what?

The weekend is here.

I have done my best.

I have given my all.

I am tired.

I ordered chicken strips and mini glazed donuts to enjoy for today. Yaya! I only bought a dozen. Donuts, that is.

Deliciously, I allowed myself to have three mini donuts. I forced myself to put the other nine away so I could enjoy them today. Yaya!

Now, I rest. System issues are preventing work. How sad. 😁🤣. Actually, I enjoy working so the system issues have been a pain.

That said, I am using the extra time to get things done. Working from home is fantastic. I can get my chores done early so I can enjoy my donuts and ☕ coffee. Yaya!

You are welcome to join me, beloveds. You have done your week. Time to rest and refill.

How’s your heart? Asking for A Friend.

Take care of yourself. Thanks for hanging out with me this week. Let’s rest up so we can get into all manner of cuteupness, eh?
