Repeat after me: I am not.

Repeat after me:

I am not helpless.

I am not hopeless.

I am not worthless.

I shall help myself.

I shall remain hopeful.

I am worthy, worth it, and worthwhile.

Nuff said.

Note: I feel helpless. I feel hopeless. I feel a tad worthless when it comes to making an impact. Thankfully, my feels don’t run me. Thankfully, none of that is remotely true.

I just stopped by to encourage those who are damned tired of all the what in the fresh hell is going on in the world.

Be encouraged. Be good to you as you wait PATIENTLY for your efforts to bear fruit. Your fruit may have been meant for others to eat. Mine as well.

I may never see my 🌿 plants bear their fruit. Did I plant just so I could eat? Did I plant so all may eat? Did I plant for recognition? Did I plant because I was asked to? Ah, great questions. I plant because I care. Periodt. We fight on.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

What purpose does it serve? What good will it do?

Apathy: What purpose does it serve?

Doubt: What good will it do?

Me: I’m going to find out.

caring no matter what,

Note: 514 days. Consecutively. Encouraging folk. Asking for folk to give a damn. The Bible says, “Let us not grow weary, in well doing, for in due season, we shall reap, IF we faint not.”

What purpose have I served? What good have I done? Who cares, right?

I have been watching a movie where there is this guy who has been fighting injustice for five years. Every time he gets close to winning, he loses. I’m damned tired of watching the bad guy win because nobody wants to give two damns enough to…*sigh*

I would dearly love to pack up my light…*sigh*.

If there is someone who gives two figs,  say something encouraging to the class. I am going to go finish the movie and hope the good guy wins.

We fight on. Fresh hell…

Be encouraged. Keep caring.

Just cuz.😁

Sometimes, you just need a good laugh.

This cracks me up EVERY time.

Back away from my coffee!

Have an amazing day. Look for the great in this day. Scrape out some joy. Scratch out some love and give it away.

Thankful for the hard.

This hard has been super hard.

I’m thankful.

Hard has made my faith super hard.

Hard has made harder days much easier.

I’m thankful.

I shall keep trying in the midst of the hard.

thankful for the difficulty,
Cassandra

Note: Don’t be discouraged. Difficulty has many gifts for you if you will receive them. We are not limited by our limitations.

Stop focusing on the waves and wind. You will make it to the other side of your trial.

It’s okay to reset and catch your breath. 🌊

🌊 🌊 🌊

I’m exhausted. These waves are working my nerves.

I decided to take a break and 🛑 what I was doing. I found myself wanting to force things instead of letting things happen, naturally.

Naturally, beloveds, this led to NOTHING but 😤 frustration that comes from focusing on the 🚪 door and not on what’s behind it.

I stopped by long enough to encourage someone. It’s okay to reset, to catch your breath.

You are doing all that you know. Celebrate your try. Celebrate your want to. Be good to yourself as you move forward.

The way has been slow. Agonizingly so. Enjoy the journey. As I am recovering, I am learning more and more to enjoy as many quiet moments as I can.

I savor the ☕ coffee in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep, wondering how I will make my financial living. This uncertainty is unnerving. It’s unsettling.

It’s during these times that my faith is being tested. Ah, God, ow!

Be encouraged, beloveds. We got this. Rest your mind. The best IS yet to come. Enjoy your NOW. Enjoy YOU now.

More or less. 🌊

🌊. The waves are looking frightening today.

I feel old.

I feel helpless.

I feel old 🧓 AND helpless. Egads!

I knew enough to keep my mouth shut. I stood down for the day to let my mind quiet.

I don’t want to quit, so much as I want the hard to stop being so blessed hard! Enough already.

I’m fixing to fill my soul with some uplifting music. Then, I am going to watch some motivational 📹 videos and grab a bite to eat.

It’s important to DO something when helpless victim mode comes calling. We are NOT helpless. Things are NOT hopeless.

Be encouraged, beloveds. Even when you are feeling a bit less than hopeful. Especially then.

Change takes time. Accepting change takes time. Understanding that change takes time takes time….lol

Don’t look back. Don’t lose hope. Don’t allow God’s Silence to have you questioning everything.

God’s Silence is actually a sign you can be trusted within it. It means you are being treated like a mindful adult and not a child forever having to be spoonfed.

Keep going. Even when it’s the very last thing you feel like doing. Your dreams will thank you for it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I have been working on wrangling positive food choices. I must admit Golden Grahams have been my downfall the past little while.

In the meantime, I am continuing to love me just as I am. Currently, though, there is a whole lotta more of me to love at the moment!

loving me still and always,
Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: You are more than your size, beloveds. You are more than your bank account. You are more than your features. You are more.

Love ALL of you. NOW. Appreciate you. I do. Cut yourself some slack. Keep being a light. Take care of your beautiful heart.

Hold on to your hope.

Learning can be such a pain.

The back half is all black as my phone and technology is being a pain.

Have gotten meal prep done, load of laundry done and this half done.😂🤡🥰

I hope your weekend has been as fantastic as mine. Rested. Snacked. Encouraged. Stored. Rinse. Repeat…hehe.

Be encouraged.
