Note: Be encouraged, beloveds.

It’s okay to struggle when things are tough and taking ffffoooorrrrreeeevvveeerr to work out.

It’s NOT okay to allow your feels to take over and make your temporary situation worse or permanent due to random acts of dumbness you have allowed yourself to do due to your act right not acting right. Whew!

Stop being so hard on yourself. Continue being extremely hard on lazy, apathy, acting a foolness and all the other things we tend to use as excuses when we are tired.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU

Keep your act right acting right.

I put myself on punishment.

Yea, beloveds, I was acting ten kinds of fools, this morning.

I was cold.

I was tired.

I was cold AND tired.

I did NOT want to get from beneath my mountain of comforter.

What did I do?

I got out of bed, grumbling, snatched up my coffee mug, grumpily, splashed coffee in said cup, annoyedly, drank, loudly.

Short story long, I whined and carried on for quite a while.

So, I put myself on punishment and told myself I would NOT go to bed early, as I have been hankering. But, I would have to stay up, after work, and work on some extra pieces.

*pout*

A good thing for you as you are, I am sure, all ensconced in a nice comfy bed or sumpin, whilst I am sitting here all tired and cold and blogging and….

Huh?

*Cassandra shuts up after seeing her arms shoot up and fingers point towards the bathroom to scrub the toilet*

(Whispers)…see you later, beloveds. I have to get back to my homework. Sheesh.

being about being about it,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Keep on keeping on. It’s easy to want to give in to our feels when it is winter and cold is being super cold. Tell feels to put on some extra clothes and keep things moving!

Life is short. Laugh. Love someone. Start with you.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Leave it on the table: Get your me time in.

I find myself, often, up in the middle of the night, posting this, typing that, watching this, doing all kinds of that, on my phone. I have done much better, beloveds, with putting the phone down so I can have some ME time.

Today, I determined to leave my posting phone, on my work desk and leave it be, once I get off work. That way, I can truly have some me time, once in bed. I do my best to get my pieces done, get folks encouraged, and all things done so I can have some me time before I retire for the night.

For a while, I found myself encrouching upon my ‘me’ time. I was sneakily telling myself my ‘me’ time could wait. After a while, of course, my ‘me’ time turned into nonexistent time.

It’s imperative, to do us, in order for us to be able to do for others.

Soooooooooooooooooooo, beloveds, learn to start leaving things on the table. Get in your ‘me’ time so you can do you, full of vim and vinegar!

Be encouraged.

Keep being about being about it.

Keep trying.

Keep living.

Keep loving.

Keep walking.

Even when you are tired.

Please, please, please don’t allow tired to be the reason you quit. Tell tired to hurry up and get a move on! We got thangs to do.

doing thangs with you,

Cassandra

Note: What a fantastic week this is turning out to be! Yes, it has been full of hard but it has also been full of laughter. Why? Because I CHOSE!

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Thank you for the hard days.

God, thank You for the hard days.

They help shape me.

Life, thank You for the hard days.

They help make me..me.

Universe, thank You for the hard days.

They help me to grow.

Hard days, I thank you.

I used to:

Fear you.

Blame you.

Avoid you.

Now, I embrace all that you have to teach me. I appreciate all that you reveal about and in me.

Hard days, I grow weary of you, at times. Yet, I shall continue to embrace you.

Do me a fave, hard days, go ‘way, now, and let me have a bit of rest. I shall await your return.

grateful for the hard,

Cassandra

Note: Nuff said.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Do you YOUR way.

I had been wanting to create a blog.

For, years.

And, years.

And, years.

I did not create one.

For years.

And, years.

And, years.

Why?

Because, I was afraid that my brand of writing would not be received. Meaning, my heart wouldn’t be received. My heart is:

Weird.

Wonky.

Ridiculous.

Hmm.

Was trying to find a third ‘W’ but I am just too tired to think of one. See, beloveds? What other person writes such ridiculousness but ME!?

Something in me, though, just would NOT let me rest.

Then, God joined the party, and would NOT let me rest.

Then, Life joined the party, and would NOT let me rest.

Then, The Universe joined the party, and would NOT let me rest.

Okay.

Okay!

I gave in.

I creted my blog.

The blank page laughed at me.

The cursor winked at me and beckoned me just to try.

So, I clutched my heart and tried.

Badly?

Clumsily?

Boringly?

Inspiredly?

I have no idea.

God knows and He ain’t tellin’.

He just tells me to keep on writing. To keep on loving. To keep on trying.

All I know how to do is to try. And, to write. And, to love. And, to give.

Until?

I have no idea. Until I am no more, I imagine.

I just want to encourage as many folk as I can to keep on being…YOU!

However you are.

Do you YOUR way. Not how the world would have you to do and be.

Who knows what YOUR way will produce?

Are these sentences making sense? I hope so. They are mine. All I have. Written clumsily. Yet, written.

Ah!

Aha!

Get to writing your chapters, beloveds. The world needs the story called your life.

writing with you as me,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Okay, so what in the world are you still doing here!? Get gone. You got thangs to do!

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

55 stole my confidence. I snatched it back.

Turning 55 seemed to steal my confidence.

I have spent seemingly every day since snatching it back!

Ha!

Give it here!!🤯😳

??

Where o where has my confidence gone 🎶?!

55 has:

Turned my fingers clumsy.

Minced my stomach into endless nerves.

Squashed my know how whilst turning it into know nothing. Yikes! Egads! Whew!

I must admit I AM having fun getting to know me confidence free. Now, I can be fully:

Dumb.

Ridiculous.

Awkward.

So what?

I can’t remember laughing so much and so often.

Enjoy you. ALL of you. You won’t always feel and be confident. So what? Doesn’t make you any less…

Ah!

Aha!

You are more than…

YOU get to fill in the blank.

Cut yourself some slack.

55 stole my confidence. I told her to keep it. I am gaining so much more than I imagined.

laughing still,

Cassandra

Note: By now, you ought to have learned enough to give us some positive notes. What do YOU want us to note? Tell us all in the comments, people. We need each other’s thoughts and care. Gimme some please and thanks. Asking for A Friend.

Uncategorized: Time to dream again.

Time to dream again, beloveds.

I know. I know.

You have given your all for naught.

You have tried.

It looks as though your dreams were put in the Uncategorized bin.

Again!

Lumped in there with all the other ‘Uncategorized’ folk and their dreams.

Seems like the world just doesn’t know what to do with our weird, with our try, with our unique blend of occasional dumbness mixed with precious goofness.

Yet, it’s time, beloveds, for us to dream again.

And, again.

And, again.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Get those dreams back out.

Dust them off.

Get ready to live some of them outloud.

In the meantime, keep on believing in yourself. You have much to share. You have much to contribute. Don’t be as the lazy or the apathetic. Keep blazing your own path and trail. We need as many new places to visit as we can get!

blazing hew paths with you,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Ah, beloveds, get on out there and live. Go on now. Whatchastilldoinhere!?

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Just one more try.

I am tired.

Exhausted.

Worn out from chasing my dreams.

I keep telling myself to give it just ONE more try.

Just one.

ONE.

Keep going, beloveds.

Just one more try.

Just one.

ONE.

Who knows what the try may bring!

trying just one more again with you,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Just when you think you can’t take nary another step, beloveds, KNOW that you CAN. You WILL.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Every time you try. You win.

Every time you try…

You win.

YOU win.

You WIN.

YOU WIN!

The outcome, beloveds, is beside the point!

It’s the TRY, beloveds. Don’t you get it?! It’s YOUR try!

Why do you think your enemy(s) want you to be dismissive, of you try?

Why do you think your critics want you to think they are laughing, at your try?

Why do you think hard and disappointment go so hard on you, EVERY time you try?

WHY, do you think, your dreams move so far, so fast and away from you, as you strain and you TRY?

Ah, beloveds, do you not yet see?

Oh, my friends, do you not yet know you are producing 🗝 keys, 🔹 diamond, and open 🚪 doors EVERY time you try

🚪: Moments

🗝:Opportunity

🔹: Faith.

The greatest gift God has ever given you are hard AND God’s Silence…TOGETHER!

When this happens, you are forced to fight FOR you with everything in you, with everything you have, to produce everything ALREADY WITHIN YOU!

Every time you try…

You win.

winning 🥇 with you,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

🗒: Your dreams are but catalysts in which God, Life and The Universe helps YOU to propel you forward. Ah. Aha! You shall get this in a minute!🥰♥️🗝♥️🔹📦

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU

I have NO idea how to effectively utilize these things or how the world to get algorhythms to do their rhyming and chiming so I can be a blessing to about a billion peeps or so.

Sooooooooooooooooooooo, I click on this. I try a bit of that. I make up all kinds of categories and click on them. I have NO idea what the dailyprompt thingie is but found some folk have found me simply by me clicking dailyprompt this and uncategorized that.

*shrug*

I figure one day some hedge fund bajillionaire will come across my blog and say my how fantastically wonderous Cassandra is and leem fill up her GoFundMe Page with oodles of coinage so I can do some me my way….*shrug*. It’s my blog so I can dream however I so choose, eh?

N-E-Waze, I was figuring it out whilst I am figuring it out and figured I would encourage you to also keep figuring it out whilst you are figuring it out.

Don’t let your lack of knowledge stop you from DOING SOMETHING to make your dreams happen.

Don’t wait on inspiration. Get to perspirating whilst waiting for inspiration to catch up.

Keep doing all you know to do. The Universe shall do the rest.

figuring it out while figuring it out,

Note: I think I may have made up some new words. Keep growing. Each and every day. Love yourself. Each and every day. Love someone. Each and every day! Don’t let a day go by that you are not loving someone. Starting with you.

Be encouraged and know your life is precious and priceless. Jesus says tell you hello. 🙂
