Hold on: Vertigo.

Having vertigo is a pain.

Navigating a world that feels like an appears to be spinning, when it’s not, is a pain.

Yet, life is good. I pray, for healing. I keep it, moving.

Why mention this?

To encourage folk to keep on keeping on. Even when their world appears to be spinning.

Yes, it’s a pain forever hoping, dreaming, trying to move the seeming immovable objects and forces.

It’s in the TRY, where we grow. The spinning is just the test and trial.

We SHALL, beloveds, keep on spinning those diamonds, in our shoes, as we keep moving:

Forward.

Upward.

Onward.

Be encouraged.

Be an encouragement to someone else.

Helping someone remove a pebble, from their mountain also removes a pebble from yours!

The high heat and humidity apparently makes this vertigo lose it’s mind, at times. Sheeeesh.

I have determined to be determined and encourage as many folks as I can when I am the most discouraged and disappointed. Thus, here I am:

Discouraged.

Disheartened.

Determined.

I have been ssssooooooooooooo angry with ME for not knowing HOW so I can know what to DO.

Ack, Cassandra!

*stamps foot*

Think I shall work this frustration off organizing something, somewhere. Crap!!

Okay, so lemme find some encouraging words somewhere before I frustrate us all…

brb,

Cassandra

Promised Land: Go. Get the giants out!

God gave you the promised land. Yet, there are giants there. We were meant to CONQUER the giants and SEIZE OUR LAND!

Get up now!

Go!

Pursue!

Defeat:

Fear. Doubt. Fatigue. Lack. Feeling unworthy. Apathy. Despair. Disappointment.

Claim your prize! The Universe is calling you! Stop settling and go! Now! Hurry! Run, beloveds!

MY dreams are held up by you not pursuing YOURS! We CAN do this. We MUST. I will. Will YOU? Ah, beloveds, this world is bleeding to death where all can see. Go now…

Free: Fear, turn loose, of my heart ♥.

Me: Let me go, fear!

Fear: You won’t make it.

Me: Turn me loose, fear!

Fear: You are too old.

Me: Hit the bricks, fear!

Fear: You don’t know how.

Me: Leave me be, fear!

Fear: NO one will EVER love you.

Me: Get away from me NOW, fear!

Fear: You never heard from God/Life/The Universe.

Me: Take two seats fear!

Fear: Your dreams will NEVER come true.

Me: So what! I shall try til I die, fear! GO!!

Fear:…*slinks away in fear of one who is now fearless*

fearless,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Ah, beloveds, time to tell ALL your fears to go ahead and kick rocks! Ah, beloveds, is time to wake up and live your dreams, out loud. Fearless. Unapologetically. I love you.

Remember alway:

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU.

One step.

One step.

One step.

When disappointment makes an appointment.

When disappointment makes an appointment, tell it you are busy.

When frustration shows up, show it the door.

When fear makes it’s way your way, tell it ‘no way’.

Then:

Move forward.

Keep on.

Launch out.

Take The Universe’s Hand, and enjoy every moment for the rest of your life.

Nuff said,

Cassandra

Note: Yesterday was hard. So what? Keep it moving…

He carried my burden(boulder).

Life was exceedingly hard and heavy, yesterday.

My backpack, filled with tears, hard, grief and the unknown. It was much too heavy for me, for my ♥ heart, for my soul, to bear.

Trying to lighten this load, I cried.

Tears.

More tears.

The heavens, began to cry, with me.

Suddenly, He was with me. Truth be told, He had been there, the whole time.

Walking beside me. Silently. In solidarity. His Tears, mingling with mine.

In companionship, we walked. We cried. We smiles, through tears, so precious that His Nail-scarred Hand tenderly, gently, placed them, in His Backpack.

Stunned, I sneaked a peek, into His Backpack. All I saw were huge boulders. They looked awfully heavy. He said they were. Which is why He had taken the from me.

I told Him all I had given Him was this pitiful mess, called my messes, my missteps, my seemingly wrong tries. I cried, telling Him I was trying. I was! Just getting nowhere.

Nodding, He walked with me. Silently. Still.

The way, grew harder. His Sweat seemed almost as blood. Yet, He smiled. His Gaze, now looking afar off. He looked towards a hill He had encountered a forever ago. Long before I was born.

This hill, which had given Him the strength to carry my burdens, my boulders, now.

Grateful, I never wanted our walk to end. I didn’t mind hard, now. Now knowing, precious walking, with Him, would be mine.

Today.

Tomorrow.

Alway.

Steps, now lightened, we began to stomp in puddles made from the meat of tears shed by others. Those, who were lost. Those, who were lonely.

I asked if we could go and find the source of their tears. He said ‘let’s go’

Now, we walk, in search of others, in need of having their burden(boulder) lifted.

Be encouraged. We are coming. We are just up the road, a piece…

👣👣❤️‍🩹⚒️♥️,

Cassandra

Note: Be encouraged. It’s okay to cry. Tears are healing. Mine have been seven years, in the making. When folks try to stop you from crying It’s because they are uncomfortable. That’s a they problem. Honor your heart. Cry, beloveds. Folk are hurting. I cry for all who are burdened. My tears are my meat, today. Ah, life, you crushing a sista😥🩵

Sad brought me to my knees.

Sad brought me to my knees.

Brought me close enough to see my humanity.

Thank you, sad.

For helping me to get on my knees.

On my knees, I pray.

Thankful, for this life, that has been given me.

Though my steps slow.

Heavy, baring the weight, of my tears.

Steps, lightened, brightened.

By joy, unspeakable.

Rejoicing.

Unbreakable.

Unbroken.

I bow my head, in thanksgiving.

For all this life has given, to me.

Sad brought me to my knees.

Joy joined me there.

Life joined me there.

God joined me there.

The Universe then lifted me.

Upon Shoulders bearing the weight of my tears.

Ah, sad, I welcome you. You bring so much with you.

Oh, sad, you speak to my soul. You let me know it’s alright to cry. You cry, with me. You cry, for me.

Jesus wept.

Today, so do I.

I weep for every heart, in need of some care, today. I find my own, in that number.

Sad brought me to my knees.

humbled,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: I have been crying for hours. Grateful. It has taken seven years to be able to cry for my min. I release you, mom. Rest now. I got this, mom. I shall miss you the rest of my life. I am ready to live, mom. Fully. Completely. If I have to do so alone, I can. I will. For, I am never alone.

Be encouraged. Don’t be ashamed to cry. Don’t be ashamed to let folks see and know you cry. Healing ain’t easy. Takes everything in you.

Be encouraged, today.

Be encouraged. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwAhDITKIJi/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==

Watch Footprints in the Sand on YouTube Music

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry7zKnrApws&feature=share

Beloveds,

I walked this morning, for you and those who are just too disappointed, discouraged or too full of disbelief to get up.

I must admit, tears streaming, I walked and listened to ‘Footprints In The Sand’ and told The Universe I needed some ‘Jesus with skin on’😥

I’m trying, mom. Life is trying me, mom.

Mom, I only see one set of footsteps. Walk with me, mom.

This day, has started hard. I shall fight hard. Hard feels sooooooooo hard today, mom.

I shall.

Anyway.

Be encouraged, beloveds.

Even when it’s hard.

Be encouraged.

Anyway.

walking still,

Cassandra
