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?

Cassandra

#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

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.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

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!?🥰🤗

asking for A Friend,

When impossible really IS impossible.

What do you DO, beloveds, when impossible really IS impossible?

Remember:

It’s not!

You are NOT alone!

God will NOT let you fail/fall. Not too terribly hard anyway❤️‍🩹😂

Keep going.

Laugh.

Rejoice.

Be encouraged.

When we are weak, THEN He is strong 💪.

Take heart.

Take care.

Nuff said,

Be proud of your try.

I had to do a hard thing.

I did NOT want to face the hard thing.

I contemplated waiting until the last moment.

I made my act right get some act right and did the hard thing.

I am proud of me.

Be proud of your try, beloveds. Stop getting on your case for being in a difficult space. Life happens.

I took care of, um mitigated, a financial Catastrophe. Now, it’s just a disaster. 🤣

I keep telling myself this too shall pass. Sure wish it would hurry on past. Smh.

Anywho, be proud of your try. You are doing your utmost to live your best life. Let that be enough. Remember you ARE enough.

Tell what if so what?!

Ack.

Good yikes.

Smh.

Due to being ill, I have had to take an inordinate amount of time off, WITHOUT PAY, the last few weeks.

Consequently, I have been avoiding my bank account as if it had the plague.

This morning, I was gently cajoled to check my account.

Whew!!

😳😳🥹🥺🤯🥵🥴🥴🥴😱😭😠😡

Whew!!

After I came to, I rushed to The Father’s Lap in 😭 and panic.

God: I  got you. I got your finances.

Me: K.

I had a cup of ☕ and told myself to get some act right. I was super upset I had to use my emergency savings to pay the rent and monthly bills and will need to use the rest to piece together next month’s rent.

I began to focus on the fact of what I was able to do now. I was able to take my focus on what ‘could have been’ if I had not been sick and able to save my money.

I was sick.

I used my savings.

So what?!

Thankfully,  I had the savings to use!

In times past, I would have wasted the rest of the week complaining about funds I ‘could have’ had.

Life happens, beloveds. NO need in wasting time over things that have already happened. Mitigate what you can and move on!

The relationship has ended. Enough already! Wish them well and move on.

You didn’t get the promotion. So what?! The interview was great experience for the next opportunity.

You were too afraid to reach out. So what?! Try again!

Enough with having ‘what if’ run the show!

What if you tried and succeeded?!

Ah.

Aha!

Be ruthless with yourself. Do NOT allow yourself the easy way out.

telling what if to shut up already,

Cassandra

We are all draft 📂 folders.🥰

🥰😂🤗

God told me, last night, I was like a draft folder!😂🥰

I have hundreds of pieces, all in various forms of undress, filling up my draft folder.

Some pieces have been marinating, for months. Other pieces, just a few days. Still others only wind up there momentarily.

Why? Beats me. Somethings just seem to want to root around and marinate in my life and heart.

Other stuff wants to regurgitate and be spewed out immediately. Okay, that was a bit of gross imagery.😳🤣. Geeez!

Anywho, our lives are like a draft 📂 folder because there are things we learn immediately. Other things take aeons to learn.  Still other things may take a life time to learn.

In the meantime, beloveds, we keep those things, in our hearts. Ruminating. Growing. Resolving. Learning.

The trick is understanding it’s okay to have various parts of us in various parts of undress!🤣🥰

Take heart, beloveds. Now, you can relax! You don’t have to be a finished product! Yaya! How great to know is that?!

The book of your life is ever being written. By you. By, God. By, Life. By, The Universe. By, so many things.

The awesome thing is you have an eraser on your pencil! You don’t HAVE TO use a pen.

Draw! Scribble! 📝 Write within the lines. Shade outside them. This is YOUR life, beloveds. This is YOUR draft 📂 folder.

Your draft was not meant to be mine!

Ah.

Aha!

I feel a piece calling me. How about you?
