Do. Don’t worry about the how.

I find myself just doing now. Right now.

I get up and do. Right now.

I’m spending less time asking how.

I just get up and do…something. Right now.

Sometimes, the something is not working. I do something else. The else does not appear to be working. I do it another way. The ‘nother way won’t work.

I no longer care.

I am just doing. Right now.

I don’t know how.

I may never figure it out.

So what. I AM doing. Something. With what I have. Now. With who I am. Now. I can live with that. I can live with me.

Do, beloveds. Don’t worry about the how. You will stumble on some ‘some kind of way’ whilst waiting on how…lol.

We ARE going to do this, beloveds. Some kind of way. We shall find a way. We shall make a way. We shall be the way for someone.

Let’s go!

Note: Go. Don’t worry about the how. Do. You don’t have to know how yet.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

I am not.

I am not your enemy.

I am your neighbor.

I am not your competition.

I could be your best friend.

I am not your obstacle.

I may be your ladder.

I am not a monster.

I could be a protector.

I am not your worst nightmare.

I might turn out to be your favorite dream.

I am many things, mostly a human being. Doing my best to love my family, make an honest living, and care for the 🌎 world.

Why won’t you let me?

Why won’t you let me be me?

Why won’t you let me be?

Why must I be judged by the color of my skin?

Why must I be judged by my gender?

Why must I be judged by my looks?

Why must I be judged by my bank account?

Why must I be judged?

I’m just trying to love.

What/who are YOU?

Note: I have given my all this week. The results seem miniscule. Still, I gave. I loved. I laughed. I struggled. I maintained. I grew. I lost. A full week. I am moving FORWARD. Ah, God. I am hungry to eat from the fruits of my labor. Universe, give me my bounty!

Who are you, beloveds? Keep being a light. Keep shining your light. Have an amazing weekend. You have tried. Let your try be enough. Get in your me time. Chair dance. 😂. Laugh. Be encouraged. I love you. So does He.

What are YOU going to do with it?

Failure.

What are YOU going to do with it?

Defeat.

What are YOU going to do about it?

Disappointment.

What are YOU going to do in the midst of it?

Note: I wanted to sleep in this morning. I wanted to sleep in yesterday morning. I didn’t allow myself to.

I told myself that once I start being lazy, it is just too easy to stay lazy. I refuse to do so. I’m going to do something about my life. I’m going to do something with my life.

What are you going to do?

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Five minutes or less.

Okay, beloveds!

Tag, you are it!

I challenge you to take five minutes per day to work on your dreams. You can add more time. But, start with five. Then, five more. Then…

You get my point.

This latest effort was not as rough as before. It buffers a bit but gets to the end. Yay!

I did not edit out the speaking mistakes. Not yet. I want to enjoy just enjoying my screw ups. Super healing for that part of me who used to be THE worst taskmaster.

I didn’t need to worry about others chastising me. I had that down pat. Yikes!

We live and we learn. Hopefully.

Learning, is a choice. Accepting we will make mistakes, is a choice. Learning, from said mistakes, is a choice.

I am looking forward to today’s goodies. It’s fantastic wondering what all The Universe has in store for ME. Ah, God. I’m ready.

God, here, is my try. Here, is my love. Here is today’s prayer for every tender heart:

Walk with those who are lonely. Answer those who call. Seek those in need. Give, according to our efforts. Give, because You promised You would. Soothe every aching heart. Give rest to the weary. Make a way where there has been none. Help us to look beyond our own needs. Help us to be a light. Know that I love You just cuz. Your Daughter, Cassandra. 🙏❤🥰

Have an amazing day, beloveds. The weekend is upon us. Get some rest.

Filling the other half: Having the time of my life.

I’m getting in my me time. Bellowing ‘Dancing Queen’ to all the unfortunates in the vicinity. 🔥🎤🥰🤗💃

Life is short. Get in some self love and self care, today.

Sing yourself a love song. Give yourself a hug. Eat something healthy. Take a few steps around your place.

Ah, beloveds, life is what YOU make it. Make it a fabulous one!

Real talk: Try, even when it’s trying!

Tada!

Another masterpiece. I am particularly pleased the background music is not super loud.

I enjoyed my try. I forgot that I don’t know what I am doing. I forgot about not feeling well. I forgot about limitations.

I simply enjoyed the process. How simple.

Have an amazing day today, beloveds. Do ONE thing that will take you closer to your dream.

Take ONE step. A tiny step. A shaky step. Still, it will have been a step. Go!

We got thangs to do, beloveds. The world awaits to open before you.

Get after it.

What the what the?!

What in the fresh hell?!

Heckamiah Jeremiah!

I enjoyed every frustrating, exasperating, maddening minute. ❤😎🥰🤗

What worked yesterday did NOT work today. Yesterday, I was able to embed the video here. Today, I had to fight just to get the Instagram link to post. Egads!

I hope you enjoy as much as I did. Be encouraged. Make it happen some kind of maddening way. Don’t let setbacks stop you from putting your effort out there.

I’m trying to.

I’m trying to.

Catch lightning in a bottle.

I’m trying to.

Make it happen.

I’m trying to.

Run down my dreams and catch up with them.

I may not catch it.

I may not catch them.

I may not.

Ah, but I try.

Still.

Who knows what my try shall bring.
