Real talk: Sometimes, you just have to hang on during the storm(s).

These storms, the last four days, have been relentless.

They have, in fact, been historic. Awful flooding. Dodging 🌪 tornadoes. 14 or so, at last count.

Since Wednesday morning, I have done my all to keep folk encouraged whilst trying to hang onto my sanity.

I keep telling myself this is NOT last year’s tornado.  Doesn’t help much with 🚨 sirens going off every which way and vertigo losing its mind.😳🤯

I just stopped ’round to encourage somebody. It’s easy to want to throw in the towel when all hell is breaking out everywhere.

Hang on. Hang in there. The storms will and do pass. Hold tight, to your dreams, until they do.

I have not used these storms as permission to comfort eat, rage at storms doing what storms do, or berate myself for being tired of having to be positive whilst going through fifty million storms already!!!!

Beloveds, it’s perfectly okay to be tired of being about being about it when things are hard for a good length of time.

Be tired. Be human. Just don’t quit. We have too many thangs to do. Summer will be here soon. Keep moving FORWARD. Keep looking UP.

Hold fast to your peace. Keep standing ten toes down on FAITH. Be sure to laugh. Even if you can find nothing to laugh at save how dumb you look hollering at the storm…lol.

We got this. God has us all. Be encouraged. If you are feeling really low, it really will help to look out for someone else. It will also help take your mind off your own what the hell is this.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

I want not to care.

I want not to care.

I wish that I could give up on my dreams.

I told dreams to shut up and leave me alone.

My dreams asked about all the other folks who were close to giving up. My dreams asked what if we gave up?

I have no plans on finding out. I told apathy, despair, disappointment and discouragement to get out of my face. Told them I would be back tomorrow!

I faced down a 🌪 tornado. I can find a way. Somehow.

I hope…

Be encouraged, beloveds. Even when all seems hopelessly lost and the success of your dreams are remote.

Ah, God, this is not funny.

holding on just barely,
Cassandra

Note: When discouragement comes in like a flood, hold on tight to your dreams. Don’t you DARE give up. Not ever. Have a good cry/pout but keep it moving. The damned 🗻 mountain WILL move at some point.

Speak: Talk to me. Help me to see life through YOUR eyes

The world needs YOU, beloveds.

Yes, YOU.

We need YOUR perspective. We need YOUR  hopes for the future.

Why? Because it takes ALL of us. Not just the loud, angry few. The world needs as many positive voices it can hear.

Talk to me. Help me to see life through YOUR eyes, beloveds.

You are more than you give yourself credit for.

Give yourself the credit you deserve.

You are:

Magnificent!

Spectacular!

Crucial!

Lift up your head, beloveds. You are NOT an imposter. You are stupendous. You don’t have to be on the outside looking in.

Open the door. Take your seat. Engage with life.

In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He.

You are so much more than you give yourself credit for.

Work smarter, not dumber, er, harder(tired).

I am having to spend this morning organizing things I organized while tired. Smh.

I look at this tired mess and can only shake my head.

At the time, beloveds, I told myself to just “hurry up and get it DONE, Cassandra!”.

And, yea, God did suggest I rest and take care of things when I could think straight. And, of course, I knew better. Dummy me.

I just stopped by to stop someone from doing the foolish thing of working themselves into the ground.

We serve NO purpose when we have overextended.  Everyone loses. We end up having to redo or rebrand or…

You get my point.

Take stock.

Take a breath.

Then, and only then, beloveds, take action. Action, for action’ sake is counterproductive.

Life is short. Get in your rest.

Work smarter, not dumber, er, harder(tired).

Filling the other half:You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)

Ah, beloveds, I am daydreaming. I am calling in a bit of love.

If you have a love, swoop them up and swoon with them to this.

If you are not looking for a significant other, swoon towards the dream you are wooing and seeking!

Take a break from your hard and dream. Ah, God. Help us get there. Where ever our there may be drawing us towards!

Note: 🤣🤣🤣

Beloveds, please don’t stay focused on all the foolishness happening right now. There is plenty of good. Enjoy some good. Be some good to someone. Laugh.

Do something for no other reason than it felt good to bless someone. Life is short. Live. Please and thanks.
