Beloveds, this is OUR lives. WE say what goes on within it.
It’s time to BLOOM where you are planted. This place is NOT an accident!
Get up, beloveds! Move! Get on with it!
I have determined March will be a month full of joy. I am not worrying about April. I may not make it there.
I truly am living as though today may be my last day.
What would you DO, beloveds, if you KNEW time was short? Would you be chasing what you are currently chasing?
Life IS short. Don’t wait until catastrophe comes calling.
I needed to have made moves long before the tornado visited. All I can do now is to move NOW. I can’t beat myself up for not moving because of my fears.
I’m no longer afraid. When fear comes to visit I get to throwing haymakers!
Do me one favor, beloveds. Take a bit of time TODAY and ask yourself:
Is THIS where you CHOOSE to be? If the answer is no get up and move someplace else!
You can do this, beloveds. You CAN. You WILL!
What are you focused on? If it’s on nothing other than making ends meet, set your sights higher!
You CAN do more. You MUST do more! My dreams may be mixed up in yours! Yours may be lost within mine. We will never know unless we try.
I was just listening to someone who was saying there is no such thing as truth, but everything is folk perspective.
LIES AND PROPAGANDA!!
There has been a YouTube argument, amongst creators, where there has been a particular creator who “found a loophole” by “stealing other people’s content”, encouraging folk to start a channel by basically saying whatever is needed to say to “chase the algorithm”.
He says the only thing that matters is the “views” so “you can get the bag”. He says the subscriber doesn’t matter and that their comments don’t matter.
Sadly, this 🌎 world/society has placed “chasing the 🛍 💵 bag as life’s ONLY priority. How sad.
I won’t get on a soapbox here. I will say this:
Life is short.
People matter.
Integrity matters.
Honor matters.
Truth matters.
How we treat one another matters.
Now, there has been a flood of new creators liberally throwing lies and disinformation around chasing the bag. Sad.
Don’t get it twisted, beloveds. Karma is a b for a reason!
I choose to live a life of integrity. I choose to care for my fellow man. I choose to see folk as beautiful souls and not a dollar sign!
Keep being the wonderful person you are. Keep shining your light. Don’t be discouraged. Keep laughing. Keep loving. Keep praying for blockheads!😳😳🥰
Fear and I have been in some mighty battles since the tornado.
Fear: You won’t find a job.
Me: I will.
Fear: You will lose everything.
Me: I might.
Fear: God won’t be there for you.
Me: He is.
Fear: God may be there for you but will certainly tell you no when you ask for THAT. Hasn’t He been silent all these last years?
Me: This is true. Still, I’m going to keep asking.
Initially, I battled fear alone. I didn’t admit to being afraid. Outwardly, I told everyone all was well. I told myself all was well.
Secretly/inwardly, I quietly told myself I was terrified. I was absolutely terrified.
Soon, comfort eating replaced standing ten toes down on FAITH.
I was, initially, afraid God’s Answer would be no.
Soon, I began to focus on and ask myself what if God DOES say no?!
Would I:
Walk away?
Walk away from my faith?
Walk away from my faith in HIM?
To my delight, my answers were an emphatic NO!
NO, I will NOT walk away.
NO, I will NOT walk away from my faith.
Absolutely, NO, I will NOT walk away from HIM.
His yes or no has NO bearing on MY yes or no.
I have been doing my level best to not allow my choices to be guided by other’s choices. Meaning, I am not going to treat folk how they treat me.
I am going to love folk. Period. Hopefully, that love will be returned. If I am treated poorly, I shall move on.
I am holding myself accountable for my life. No one owes me a thing. God doesn’t owe me squat. The Universe doesn’t owe me. Life doesn’t owe me. Family does not owe me. Friends owe me nothing.
My life IS the cake. The rest is occasional icing. What’s more, I can ice my own cake as well…lol.
In the end, the answer may turn out to be no. I shall never know until I ask Him. I have.
I await His Answer.
Ah, God…
May I?
Will you?
Can we?
How soon?
How much?
How?
asking for many friends, Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: Be encouraged, beloveds. The answer will ALWAYS be for your good and with your best interests in mind. Be well this day.
Time for us to reclaim that which was wrongfully taken by fear/doubt/anger.
Time for us to restore.
Time for us to get some get back.
Time for us to redeem our try.
Time for us to do what it takes to make things happen.
Rise.
Walk in INTEGRITY.
Run to the fight.
Yes, things are different. Yet, WE are different. We are:
Stronger.
Mindful.
Mighty.
We are well able to pursue our enemies and to overtake them.
We are in the fight of our lives. We fight for the freedom of dreams. We fight to shine our lives. We fight to overcome.
These Avenger trailers fire me up!…😂 I hope you clicked on the link and got fired up as well.
I did NOT want to get up this morning and keep my promise to myself to 📝 write, daydream and plan for my future. Lazy wanted to stay in bed. Later agreed. Later, remembering what happened the last time it sided with lazy, rushed to make my ☕ coffee. 😂
*Cassandra dons her cape and prepares for greatness*
It’s time, beloveds. Stop waiting for someone else to rescue you. Rescue yourself!
Get out of bed.
Work on your dreams.
Work on yourself.
Fight for the underdog.
Shine your light.
BE the light.
Now, how you won’t be able to have an amazing day after THAT inspiration is beyond me.😁😳🥰
These are the things I told myself, beloveds, when I found my want to wanting to go back to bed instead of starting on this week’s goal.
My goal this week is to get myself on a regular work schedule. The times are not crucial just now. I am just rebooting the habit of getting back in the work habit…lol.
Going through tough things can throw of the hardest of souls. Especially hard struggles, over a long period of time, can zap the most positive spirit.
These super hard days have been teaching me how to CONSISTENTLY forcing myself to try and DO whether I feel like it or not.
In fact, I don’t allow my feels to have a say in how the day shall go. I tell my feels that they WILL get some act right, or I shall put my 👢 boot up a behind!
I am about to reward myself with a cup of coffee ☕. I really DID want to hop back in my comfy bed. Lazy attempted to convince me I could start tomorrow. I sent lazy to make the ☕ and hurry up already! As punishment, I told lazy NO Danish with the ☕!…*mini pout*
When you find yourself wanting to talk yourself out of things that will help you achieve your dreams, make yourself do a chore. It’s a win/win. The place gets cleaner. You will find yourself slowing down on listening to lazy or not right now.
Why Can't I Be Loud?!
