Note: Okay, so, um, like how the world are you still here after THAT rousing message?….hahahahahahahahahaha! I love you. So does He. Love us back.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Support someone else’s dream(s).

I am shifting gears.

I am changing my focus.

I’m still trying to do me. But, I am also doing my utmost to help others do THEM.

I have been checking out new YouTube Channels. I have been supporting as many as I can. I figure I may as well help others stay in flight. It has been fun. I have opened my views, my heart, my wallet, my intellect to new people, places and things.

I think part of the reason Life keeps us limited to help us, er, force us to look around and get support of others. To BE support for others. We all need one another.

I am trying my hardest to keep being me and living my best life.

I am learning, slowly, ALL God/Life/The Universe NEEDS for us to do is for us to BE!

Us!

You!

Me!

They do NOT need replicas!

They do NOT need duplicates!

I keep looking around me, in me, beneath me and seeing what I think as not enough:

Money.

Time.

Things.

We are all programmed to BELIEVE we have to have in order to be seen, heard, loved, respected.

We don’t.

I don’t.

You don’t.

When, beloveds, will we get this through our thick brains?

In the meantime, I am doing my best to help as many others fly as I can. With what meager coins I have. With what love I have. With what prayers I have.

Ah, God, I so hope what I have is enough.

Keep on being YOU, beloveds. Keep on keeping on. In the meantime, help someone else to soar. Until, we all up there flying around as the eagles we are!

YYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS!

We CAN.

We WILL.

We MUST.

Hello me.

God keeps introducing me to me.

I find it fascinating.

I find me fascinating.

Hello me.

What shall we do with our day?

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: I found a stranger in my bed. Turns out the stranger has been me. Life is good. Even when it’s hard. Keep on getting to know you, beloveds. You may be surprised how much fun you truly are. In case no one has told you yet today: I love you.

One step.

Why are you…?

It’s important to ask yourself why.

Why are you…:

Mad.

Sad.

Frustrated.

Angry.

Apathetic.

Resistant.

Tired.

Weary.

Wandering.

Wondering.

Whatever you are feeling, at the moment, it’s important to ask yourself why.

Why?

So you can work through whatever it is you are needing to work through.

Why?

So you can be about being about it.

Why?

Because you have thangs to do.

It wasn’t until I got honest, with ME, and began asking myself why I began to see some sunlight.

Why are you, beloveds?

Keep on asking.

asking with you,

Cassandra

Keep being a light.

Keep being a light.

Continue doing what you are doing.

Change takes time.

Lasting change can take a life time.

Keep lending an ear.

Keep providing a shoulder.

Your life is making more of an impact than you shall/could ever know or understand.

It’s easy to look at our try and find it wanting.

All we can do, beloveds, is all we can do.

You have done your work. Enjoy your weekend.

I appreciate all the laughter I have found here, this week. Life has not been very fair or funny lately. Still, I am thankful. Still, I am grateful. Still, I CHOOSE.

Ah.

Aha!

keep going,

Cassandra

Be of service: To, you.

Serving is rewarding.

Serving causes one to consider more than what is in front of you.

Serving helps you to focus on something other than your problems. In fact, serving helps you to understand your life is NOT a problem. You have been causing problems, in your life, via your actions or lack thereof.

Serving brings gratitude. From, The Universe. From, your heart. From, God. From, Life. From, your community. From…well, there a jillions of people places and things who/which will be gratified by your service.

The very first person, beloveds, you MUST serve, is YOU!

You can’t give, what you don’t have.

Take, stock.

Take, inventory.

Listen:

To, your heart.

To, your mind.

To, your spirit.

To, the universe.

To, Life.

To, God.

How?

Start asking each, out loud, what it needs. I know. It may sound absolutely absurd and ridiculous. I promise, beloveds, it works.

Speaking, out loud, brings fear, pride, doubt and all their friends, out in the open.

Speaking, out loud, also brings out hope.

Speaking, out loud, will bring out all kinds of hidden treasures.

After you have taken inventory, do SOMETHING from the list given to you. Take your time. Take things slowly. This is a life pursuit. It will take the sum total of your life to complete. Knowing this, enjoy each and every moment.

The world scoffs at service. Serving others is sooooooooo rewarding. Get to serving. Starting with YOU.

Focus on something else.

It’s amazing what will happen if you put your focus on something other than your perceived problems.

I decided to spend some time encouraging others and time just wiped away my problems. I forgot I had any. All I could think of was what I could do to make someone smile.

Not a whole lot is funny. Life is just so hard for so many. I scarcely know where to start let alone what to pray.

I decided to just care. In my own small limited way. Hopefully, I can make someone forget their hard if just for a moment.

Look around, beloveds. Look out. Look up.

Focus on something else.

What/who can you be focused on right now?

How about me?🤣🥰😍

focused on you,


Cassandra

All He needed was me.

Me: That’s ALL?!

God: Yep.

Me: Are You SURE?! That’s it??

God: Uh, huh.

Me: Why doesn’t it feel like enough though?

God: Enough for who?

Me: Good question!

God: Ah, beloved.

Me: Aha, God!

God: ALL I need, ALL I require, ALL I long/hope for is…YOU. Your love. Your care. Your try. Your hopes. Your dreams. Your failures. Your successes. Most of all, beloved, your heart. The rest really can and does come out in the wash.

Me: Why am I forever falling short then?

God: In whose eyes? Surely not Mine.

Me: It’s hard to believe You. If I were to be COMPLETELY honest God.

God: I NEED for you to be honest. Completely. I can take it. Besides, your heart tells on you on the daily.

Me: Hmmm.

God: Hmmm. What say we go have a cup of coffee and just BE together?

Me: I would like that.

God: Good. Because I like you.

Me: Awwwww, God.

It amazes me, beloveds, to KNOW God loves me. ME. This dopey, ridiculous, what in the world have you done NOW me! Who knew?!

I keep looking at my life wanting to do more, be more, give more. I keep asking God to bless me, financially, so I can do the more I long to. He has not answered. All He does is tell me to just keep being me. How weird is He?!

Just BE, beloveds. You are EXACTLY what this upside down world needs. As am I. Let’s love the lot of us, together, eh? Even the ones who are the most maddening/disappointing. They need us the most.

loving folk the best way I can,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Ah, God. Thanks for loving us. Thanks for loving even the ones who doubt You are even there or real. Thanks for loving those who are angry with You. Thanks for loving us ALL. EVERY ridiculous one of us. I love You.

Time: Value it.

One reason why I do meal prep is it saves me time so I can do other things.

Also, meal prepping leaves me with meals I can eat when I’m not feeling well and don’t want to prepare something.

Time is short. I’m trying to value time as best as I can. We only get twenty four hours in the day.

I’m debating whether to finish my writing or to stop in watching movie or two.

I think I am going to stop worrying about the future and enjoy a movie or two. Time is short. Who wants to join me?🤣🍿

You have twenty four hours in your day. What are you going do with it? Who are you going to spend your time on?

Do not waste a moment on things which does not serve you and others. Do not waste a minute.

I need to get to meal prepping. AFTER the 🎦 movie!🤗🍿🎦🤣🤗

Hello old friends.

I have started collecting books again. I have not started reading though.

I have no idea why but after mom passed away I lost my joy in reading. No earthly idea why and still makes no sense to me.

I tossed every dream away, when she passed. Figured what the world do I need them for now? Eventually, I drug them from the tombs of the get gone. Reading, has been the last to come out. Now, I am looking forward to seeing old friends again!

Which one will I start with!?🥰🤗
