Make room for it.

Joy.

Make room for it.

Hope.

Make room for it.

Dreams.

Make room for it.

Love.

Make room for it.

Make room for the things that are going to ADD to your life. Brisbane enough time focusing on the negative. We got things to do. Let’s start doing those things with joy. Life is much too short.

My birthday is coming soon. I will be 56. 55 spent all year laughing at me. I have lost a lot this year. I’d like to think I have also gained a lot of wisdom anyway.

I’m learning how to make room. It’s about time. I’m learning how to make room for me and the things that make me happy. I’m learning how to bleed folk alone as they learn how to make room for themselves. I’m just learning.

How about you?

Note: Make room. Be sure to add plenty of joy in there. Embrace your day. Enjoy all of it. Even the stubborn parts. Even the boring parts. Especially those. I wish I had more boring…

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Don’t give it room.

Fear.

Don’t give it room.

Apathy.

Don’t give it room.

Unbelief.

Don’t give it room.

Doubt.

Don’t give it room.

We spend too much time giving fear room. Tell fear to kick rocks. The more
I inch closer to my dreams and goals, I find fear dogging my heels. I refuse to give it room.

How about you?

Keep trying.

The more I try, the less I see come to fruition. I don’t know why. I’m not doing anything differently. I’m not trying any less hard. I’m still giving my all. my all just seems to be giving me less.

I tell myself to keep trying. I have been dragging fear and doubt everywhere with me lately. I don’t know why they won’t leave me alone. Maybe they think I will give up if they stick around. Maybe hopeless things I will become hopeless due to the lack of outcomes I see.

Thankfully, I am learning not to rely on the outcomes. I would have given up a long time ago that had been a case. I would have stopped writing two or three years ago. Hell, I probably would have stopped writing last week.

The universe is silent right now. God seems to have packed up His toys and walked away. I don’t know where He is hiding. I don’t know where to find me. Still, I promised myself I would continue going on. I promised myself I would continue to be about being about it.

55 keeps laughing at me. she tells me to sit down somewhere. I am just too damned to want to make some dreams come true. on days like today, I want to believe her. Still, something inside of me keeps saying that there’s more to this life I have been living. Something inside, just won’t let me quit. Something inside, just won’t let me stop reaching out to a world who could give two damns about me.

Keep trying, beloveds. Today, just may be your day. Today, just maybe my day. We will never know unless we seize this time and this day.

Be encouraged. Keep moving forward. The way is hard. It was never meant to be easy. Besides, we eat hard for breakfast!

We have nothing to lose. We have a whole world to gain.

Stop focusing on the outcome. Discouragement lives there. Keep trying then enjoy the rest of your day. Speaking of which, I hear cup of coffee calling. Who is up for a cup?

Note: You can do it. You will do it. Keep believing in yourself. There’s much more to you than you know. You got this. Sometimes, we just need someone to tell us we can do it. You can. In case no one has told you today, I love you. So does He.

Put your fear and doubt to work.

It’s okay to fear what you can’t control.

It’s okay to doubt if you can/ will.

It’s NOT okay to allow your fear and doubt to keep you paralyzed.

Get up, beloveds and put those fears and doubts to work.

Make those lying fools wash the dishes. Have those imposters take out the trash. Demand them dummies take you for a walk.

Start making your anxt work FOR you, beloveds.

I have been dragging my fears and doubts FORWARD. Yep, these lying dummies have been fussing at me for being up so early working with my dreams.

I got thangs to do. As do you, beloveds. This life is much too short for us to keep wasting so much of it, agreeing with the lies that fear and doubt brings EVERY day, if we let them.

What are you waiting for/on?

Your dreams are calling: It has to be YOU.

Your dreams are calling, beloveds.

Yea, YOU.

It HAS to be YOU.

Stop trying to pass the buck to me. I’m having a hard enough time trying to pass the buck to others.😁🤣

These dreams sure can be persistently loud, can’t they?

How rude/maddening.

What are we going to DO with these dreams that just won’t leave us alone?! How do we feed/satisfy them so they can start feeding/satisfying us?

My dreams wake me early. These unrelenting dreams keep me up late.

Ah, Life. This ain’t funny. What do we DO with these dreams?

asking for many friends,

Cassandra

Note: Keep on dreaming. Today one of them may come true. I hope…

Take a step.

Take the next step, beloveds.

Just ONE.

You don’t have to know EVERY step, in order to take a step.

Just ONE.

Go on, now.

You can do this.

You CAN.

You WILL.

Well, I know, beloveds. The next step is often the:

Hardest.

Scariest.

Sometimes, the messiest.

We don’t know where the next step may/will need.

Take a step anyway.

Boldly.

Unapologetically.

Joyfully.

Then, take another step. Then, another.🥰😄🤗🏆

Ah, beloveds. I see you! Keep doing them thangs!!

Don’t run away.

Don’t run away.

Stay in the fight.

Stay in the fire.

Stay in the place The Universe has asked you to remain in.

Yes, it hurts.

Yes, it grows tight.

Yes, it gets old.

Oftentimes, beloveds, we are where we are because we are acting as a placeholder for others.

I know. I know. You are ready for YOUR turn. Your turn SHALL come. Then, someone shall act as YOUR placeholder.

Be patient.

Be steadfast.

Be steady.

In the meantime, rejoice for someone whose life you are impacting simply by being obedient and living a life of integrity.

Your legacy will honor your sacrifice. It IS a sacrifice to remain in a tough/hard place because you have been asked to remain right where you are.

Is it fair to be asked this? Does it matter?

Don’t run away.

You may be running away from the greatest blessing you have ever known.

rooting for us all,

Cassandra

Fear, you have no place here.

I dreamed of tornadoes.

That shook me. I have not dreamed of tornadoes since the tornado hit.

Maybe it’s because the power went out the other day. Plus, they are rebuilding the fence and other parts of the apartments. The more things are fixed, the more I realize how lucky I am to still be here.

That knowledge has me shaken. Again…*sigh*

I keep telling myself I am okay. I am not okay. In fact, I am not strong. Not at all.

I feel small.

I feel frail.

I feel terribly frail and oooooooooooolllllldddd.

I feel the terror again.

I want to hide.

From the feels.

From God’s Silence.

From everything.

Everything is making me tired.

I fight the tired.

I fight the frail.

I fight the old.

I have to.

I have thangs to do.

I sure wish I knew what to do next.

I still have my joy.

I still chase after my peace.

I have stopped seeking understanding.

How the hell can you understand hell?

Don’t stay because of fear.

Don’t stay in a relationship because of fear.

Move on.

A HEALTHY relationship awaits you.

Don’t stay in a job because of fear.

A REWARDING job awaits you.

Don’t stay in a cramped environment because of fear.

The world awaits you.

Stay because the relationship is healthy.

Stay because the job is rewarding.

Branch out because the world awaits you.

Time to stop making choices based upon what you fear.

Time to make choices based upon faith in your experience, in your learning, in your growth, in wise counsel.

You have the life you are putting in the effort for, beloveds. Simple as that. If you are not satisfied  with your life, make changes.

If you don’t like the changes, make more changes. Simple as that.

Come on, beloveds. We got thangs to do. We have ZERO time to be entertaining fear. Tell fear to kick rocks whenever and wherever it rears it’s lying head!

doing thangs free from fear,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: It’s okay to be afraid. Just not okay to allow fear to run our lives. The unknown is ONLY terrifying when you have to go it alone.

Isn’t it great, beloveds, to know we are loved and that we are NOT alone?!❤️‍🩹♥️🥰

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

Note: Put down the Superman/Superwoman cape, beloveds. Life is short. RECEIVE the love, care and effort that God has in store for you.

You don’t have to struggle and strive alone. There are caring folk just waiting to love YOU. In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He.
