Hey world, I need to give you…

Hey world, I need to give you…

World I’m 📢 :

Annoyed with you. You have been telling us lies, for the entirety of our lives.

You have called black, white.

You have said up, was down.

You have called this, that.

You have called write, wrong.

You have convinced folk to:

👉 Point the finger, instead of extend the 🤝 hand.

Choose hate, over love.

Bearing arms, instead of bearing arm’s❤️‍🩹.

Broken barriers, instead of building/mending fences.

Fear diversity, instead of embracing differences.

I’m keeping it 💯, world.

I am so damned loud, in part, because of you. I am doing my best to let the whole of the world know each are:

Seen.

Heard.

Loved.

Valued.

Not alone.

You shall NOT overcome us, world. You, in fact, have been overcome.

Keep folks names out of your mouth!

Leave folks be so they can just be!

Take your expectations, world, and:

Kick rocks!

Take TWO seats!

Be afraid. Be very afraid!

We are coming for you, world.

I’m keeping it a buck with you!

Enough!

keeping it a buck,

Note: Sometimes, beloveds, one needs to take a stand. Ha! Keeping it 100…

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Repeat after me: I’m going anyway.

Repeat after me:

I may fail.

I’m going anyway.

They may say no.

I’m saying anyway.

It may not work out.

I’m trying anyway.

He/she/they may not love me back.

I’m loving them anyway.

I may finish last.

I’m entering the race anyway.

I may burn everything.

I’m cooking anyway.

I might sound like an idiot.

I’m speaking anyway.

Everyone may leave if I stay.

I’m staying anyway.

No one may follow me if I go.

I’m going anyway.

Whatever the outcome, I’m being me…

Anyway.

Keep being you.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

At your worst, do your best.

When you are feeling your worst.

Do your best.

When you feel as though you have nothing worth giving.

Give your best.

When your love feels inadequate.

Love the most.

We won’t always feel like it. We won’t always know what to say or how to say things. We won’t always know what to do. We won’t always feel like doing what needs to be done.

I feel like crap. A cold, or something, snuck into bed with me. Leaving me hot, listless and grumpy.

I did NOT feel like looking after myself. I made myself get up and look after myself. I ordered soup, orange juice and 😷 medicine.

When life is acting all lifery, beloveds, it’s super important to be good to yourself. Get up. Do what needs to be done.

Tell discouragement to kick rocks. I feel like a sick, old lady…lol. Still, I am worth loving. I am loving me.

Stop waiting for folk to love you. Love yourself NOW. Just as you are. Sick. Well. Young. Old. Rich. Broke. You are worth loving simply because you were born.

Love yourself NOW.

Love yourself.

NOW.

Don’t wait til tomorrow.

Don’t wait til others follow.

Love yourself.

NOW.

Don’t wait for perfection.

Don’t wait for another’s seal of approval.

Love yourself.

NOW.

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Too often, we judge ourselves based upon this, that and the other thing. Sadly, if we don’t measure up to those supposed things, we hold back loving ourselves.

Worse, we stingily hand out love like it something to be bartered for. It’s not. Love is meant to love. Period.

Life is short, beloveds. Love yourself.  NOW. Don’t wait until you have it all together. I doubt if any of us will ever have it completely together.

Your love is much too valuable to keep hiding it from yourself. And others. This world needs the love only YOU can give it. What say you?

I can’t rest. My why won’t let me alone. Too many folk are needing love. Give it to them, beloveds. Starting with you…

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

My stister: The greatest gift God has given me through this time.

Dear wombie,

I just wanted to thank you, for being my twin. Thanks big stister, for being there. Thanks wombie, for being:

My friend.

My comfort.

My cheerleader.

My kicker-in-the-behinder.

Thanks, big stister, for being you. You mean the world to me. Truly. You have allowed me to:

Cry.

Fuss.

Scream.

Wonder.

Doubt.

Rage.

Pout.

Sometimes, all in one phone conversations..lol.

I appreciate you. I just wanted to share, openly, all you have meant to and for me, secretly.

Sis, if any have been encouraged, by my blog, it’s due, in part, because of your support and care. For me.

You amaze me, big stister. You roll your eyes when I am being particularly getting on your nerveness. You answer the phone, KNOWING you are set to experience any manner of stupidness that may and does/will come out of this mouth of mine.

Before I end my night, big stister, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your being in my life.

Keep on being you, would you please?

Discard unbelief.

Note: You got this, beloveds. Keep on keeping on. There is too much awesome in you for you to give up just now.

Be encouraged. You got this. So go on ahead and get it. Things take time. And effort. And more time. And more effort. Geeeeeez.

One step.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Stop listening to the hate(rs).

Haters are going to hate, beloveds.

It’s what they do: Hate.

They hate themselves. They hate their circumstances. Instead of changing THEIR lives, they hate on me. They hate on you.

That’s a they problem. I don’t have time for hater-aid. I have thangs to do. So do you.

Haters want to keep you on THIER string. You are okay so long as you march to THEIR drumbeat. Ha! I don’t think so.

Thank your haters. They are a sign you are on the right track/path. Thank them for giving you extra motivation to cram your success down their hating throat.🤣🥰

Keep on being YOU. Your you is especially annoying to haters. Good! Keep on getting in ‘good trouble’.

Tell hate to kick rocks. You got too much love to give. Tell hate(rs) how sorry you are to keep winning as much as you are. Not!

Life is short. Why are you spending so much of your precious time wondering/worrying about what your haters are going to say/do?

Cassandra

Note: Pray for folk who are full of hate and keep it moving. Your light WILL drive out the darkness.🥰🥰

There is too much in you.

Beloveds, there is too much in you to quit.

There is too much faith in you.

There is too much life in you.

There is too much hope in you.

Don’t let the hard discourage you.

Get up and get back in the fight.

You got this.

God has you.

The Universe fights with/for you as you stand again.

cheering you on,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: You got this, beloveds. Go on, now. You are tired only because you have been fighting for so long it seems as if long will stay with you always. It won’t. Victory is fixing to slide right next to you.

Get ready, beloveds! Rush out in the streets with your buckets. It is fixin’ to rain!!!

Ah, Life. We ready. Give us our bounties! Asking for many friends…

One step.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

The best is yet to come.

The best is coming for us, beloveds.

It is!

Ah, the best is yet to come!

Be encouraged.

I don’t know who I am talking to. I just know someone needs to hear these words today.

The best is yet to come.

Lift up your head. Your help IS on the way.

reminding you for A Friend,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Be encouraged, beloveds. The best IS yet to come. Maintenance has been pounding away, painting away and taking away all the debris the tornado left behind. In its place are new things. Yes, things look different. Yes, I am different. Still, the heart of me remains. As do you.

It’s okay to grieve what has been lost. Get excited, though. New things SHALL take their place. Awesome things. Amazing things. Get ready, beloveds. The best IS yet to come. In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He.
