Work smarter, not dumber, er, harder(tired).

I am having to spend this morning organizing things I organized while tired. Smh.

I look at this tired mess and can only shake my head.

At the time, beloveds, I told myself to just “hurry up and get it DONE, Cassandra!”.

And, yea, God did suggest I rest and take care of things when I could think straight. And, of course, I knew better. Dummy me.

I just stopped by to stop someone from doing the foolish thing of working themselves into the ground.

We serve NO purpose when we have overextended.  Everyone loses. We end up having to redo or rebrand or…

You get my point.

Take stock.

Take a breath.

Then, and only then, beloveds, take action. Action, for action’ sake is counterproductive.

Life is short. Get in your rest.

Work smarter, not dumber, er, harder(tired).

Ah, beloveds, I am daydreaming. I am calling in a bit of love.

If you have a love, swoop them up and swoon with them to this.

If you are not looking for a significant other, swoon towards the dream you are wooing and seeking!

Take a break from your hard and dream. Ah, God. Help us get there. Where ever our there may be drawing us towards!

Let greatness set your path.

Allow greatness to take you places you have never gone.

There is no reason you can’t. You can. Use April to usher in your best self, your best life.

I’m looking forward to what life has in store for me. Are you?

Note: I will NEVER forget the morning when God whispered to my heart “You are not your pain”. Never.

Even now, I can go back to that moment: I was on my way to work. I was sitting at the stoplight. Tears had been streaming down my face.

I was worried. We had moved and I now had a 30 minute commute I could not afford the gas for.

I hated, hated, hated driving in the early morning hours. The roads were skinny, hilly, curvy and super nerve wracking.

I hated the scary roads. Yet, I enjoyed blasting my praise music and singing at the tops of my long.

Anywho, I was at that light in tears. I didn’t know what to do. I needed gas money. I needed to complete that scary ride.

I felt like one huge ball of pain.

“You are NOT your pain”.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

True story.

LOL.

This actually made me laugh out loud.

Have a fabulous day today.

Beloveds, please don’t stay focused on all the foolishness happening right now. There is plenty of good. Enjoy some good. Be some good to someone. Laugh.

Do something for no other reason than it felt good to bless someone. Life is short. Live. Please and thanks.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

My voice. Your voice.

Too often, beloveds, we allow silence to dominate, leaving despair, destruction and darkness to reign unchecked.

Life is short. How much of our lives are we wasting chasing things that will not matter when all is said and done?

I don’t mean to get on a soapbox. I have truly been asking myself these questions.

I have been thinking of my mortality. I have no idea how many days/hours I have left.

I damn betcha I am going to spend every day of the rest of them letting you know you are loved, you are not alone and you are worth it.

Be encouraged.

I dare you to dream.

I dare you to dream!

I dare you to love.

I dare you to try.

Beloveds,  life is short.

A legacy is formed with words. Our legacy is built by our actions.

What are your words/actions saying about you?

I couldn’t sleep.

I tried everything.

My dreams just did NOT want me to go to bed. They wanted to continue to play in broad daylight!

My dreams were basking in the sunlight upon their face. I enjoyed dancing within their embrace.

When I was working, beloveds, I always lamented about not being able to work when I wanted.

My creativity is most alive in the midnight hours. I love writing in the dead of night. To me, it feels like I am the only one up in the entire world. Me and God yakking. God and me carrying on about any and everything.

I especially love writing, listening to music, praying for folk, daydreaming between the hours of two and four. Ask me why, I still don’t know.

I tend to wind down around 6 or 7 am. Then, ALL I wanted to do was to go to sleep.

The only problem with that was I had to get up and work my PAYING job.😳😴

It was exhausting. It felt like I was up 24/7. Unsustainable.

Before I lost my job, beloveds, I grew more and more restless. What I wanted to do did NOT pay the bills.

What paid the bills was no longer satisfying. Yikes! Egads! Fresh hell.

I prayed and prayed and prayed for a way out.

Silence.

The tornado came.

Loudly.

I find myself rebuilding my financial bricks. With no straw. 😳🙏😫🌊

I am doing my utmost to use what I have. What I have doesn’t seem to be ⚒ working. Not for me, at least.

I’m trying.

The tornado has given me the time to write when I want. So, now I get up at odd hours. I work at weird times. I do breakfast things at the dinner hour. Fantastic!

I hate the tornado happened. The happening, just so happened to have delivered me the opportunity to work when I want. What I have ALWAYS wanted but was too fearful to try.

I chose stability over uncertainty. What good did that do me? I’m smack dab in the middle of the uncertainty I had run from my whole life.😳

Now, I am using what I have.

Use what you have. Do what you can with what you know.

Perfect timing: Your due season shall come.

I finally got around to watching “Music Of The Heart” starring Meryl Streep and Angela Bassett.

I had heard of it and had always meant to watch it. Watched it and was wowed. Was terribly moved by the song “Music Of My Heart”.

Prettiest song I have ever heard and says everything I feel for and about God, right now. He really has taught me how to love, how to love me. He showed me the music in my heart.

I have prayed and tried. Tried and prayed. Cried. Cried out. For THIS time.

My time is here. It has arrived. In it’s due season. EVERYTHING shall has it’s due season. Everything.

Nothing we do shall stop the evolution of time. Should we end our end, time continues on.

I stopped by to encourage someone. Ah, beloveds, be encouraged. You shall, as the bible says, reap if you faint not. Keep on in your well doing. Your end shall be sweet.

In the meantime, embrace and enjoy the journey.

Life is good. Even when it’s hard.

Be encouraged. We got this. God has us all.
