When life hands you lemons, make chili.

*sigh*

Whw?!

😡

Whew!

I said, and thought, all this and more, as life did life things and ran roughshod over the few pennies I have.

What’s worse, work STILL doing work things which has cost me TWO DAYS PAY I CAN’T AFFORD TO LOSE RIGHT NOW!!!!

😡

Back in the day, I would have gotten and STAYED all up in my feels. I would have ranted. I would have yelled, discreetly, at God, Life, The Universe, innocent neighbors, the television, me for no reason, you for absolutely NO reason and basically wasted a day or two or three in full pout/rant/supposed prayer mode.

What do I do now? All of the above.😁😉😁.

Kidding.

Decided to take my frustration out on some ground beef and make me some chili!

Which I am fixing to do. I just stopped by, to do a heart ❤ check and tell you not to waste time carrying on about things you can do nothing about.

Make some chili.

Turn up some music.

🎸🎶💃🥰🙏🤣🤗🌈

*Cassandra gets her groove on and heads to the kitchen to make some delish chili.😎*

Life is short. Don’t let this economy get you down. Make your coins do what they do and keep it moving.

As you can see, I am still in my talking slang and smack talk? Why, cuz my writing skillz are soooooo smooth I can rock the words like that and STILL keep yall encouraged!

You better ask somebody!

Be encouraged, beloveds.

We got this, don’t we?

If you have things, on your heart, share them with someone. Your needs are important as everyone else.

Your needs are NOT a burden.

You are important enough to inconvenience someone else’s time. There are times life acts a fool at times not conducive.

If the folk in your life do not value you enough to put down what they are doing to you, those folks need to get a good spray of ‘be gone’ and ‘off with you’.

Beloveds, time we stop giving our time to those who are dismissive of us and our time. There are plenty of folk who will be honored to have you in their lives.

Chili is calling. The Universe is also waiting. Don’t let some things such as life acting a fool to keep you from moving forward and enjoying your life.

Be encouraged.

And the peanut gallery said:

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU

This was not one of mine but had me so fired up I had to share!!

Cassandra

Remember:

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Go for it: What do you WANT?

Want.

Want!?

What do you WANT, beloveds?

What do you dream of?

What keeps you up at night?

What secret dream do you dream of doing in the light?

Not what the world or others have told you that you need and must have.

Your heart has been longing, for years, to be set free from the box of fear and limitations you have allowed yourself to be placed in.

You have used money, circumstances, lack and a whole lotta nother excuses to keep you from pursuing that which has been asking you for freedom for longer than you have admitted.

Time grows short, beloveds. I am doing my level best to level ALL my fears and excuses. Those dumb enough to hang around, still, I drag with me up Joy Mountain!

I shall get there!

I may not make it there.

So what?!

I am LIVING!

Unapologetically.

LOUDLY!🤣💃🥰❤😎😂🙏🌈🙌🎤🤷‍♀️🎤🎷🎹🎶🎸😉

No longer do I allow excuses, me, the world, others, whatever, to keep me from my try.

Yes, here lately, I have been terribly disappointed and discouraged when I have taken my eyes off my try and looked at the outcome.

Life IS doing what it do FOR and WITH me. I just need to keep focus on keeping focused on my TRY. The rest is not my business.

Now, my business is getting up all in YOUR business to encourage you to keep trying. 😉😂😁

Go for it.

What in the heckamiah Jeremiah are you still doing here!?

Your Bounty is waiting for you.

praying for you,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Go for it: What do YOU want?

YOU!

YOU?!

What do YOU want?

STOP trying to be, have and do what others want you to be, have and do.

This is YOUR life, beloveds. The mistakes you make, at least make them trying to make YOUR dream come true.

This world could give two hoots about your dreams and will ONLY respect you as you DEMAND to be seen, heard, loved and cherished.

STOP wasting your time on folks who have no time for you! You are priceless. You do NOT have to spend another second treating your heart like a second class citizen.

STOP THAT!

Believe me, I have had to tell myself this. I STILL tell myself this! I am DONE making excuses for those who have ghosted my heart and dismissed my dreams.

Kick rocks! I no longer have to pay rent, to this world, trying to buy a bit of love and care.

I am loved.

I am. By One, who thinks I am the bomb.com!

What do YOU want?

The Universe is waiting to walk with you and help you do, have and be.

Get going!

Hurry!

The Answer is waiting for you…

cheering you on,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Okay, so you are supposed to be out and about living your life. Whatcha still doing here?!

One step.

One step.

One step.

Don’t give up on your try!

Don’t give up on your try! https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxBDyxBuWsP/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==

Beloveds, don’t give up on your try!

Not just yet. You are growing. You ARE!

Discouragement is just a sign you are almost there!

Keep going.

You CAN, beloveds, and you WILL!

How do I know?

Cuz, The Universe…hehe…going to let you find out for yourself!

Be encouraged.

Give me more.

Give me more, says The Universe.

Give me more, says Life.

Give me more, says God.

More of what, I ask.

Give me more, says my heart.

Give me more, says my mind.

Give me more, says my spirit.

More what, I ask, yet again.

GIVE ME MORE!!

These words, reverberating everywhere.

I want to do, more.

I want to be, more.

I want to give, more.

It’s odd in that I am not asking for more to be given, to me. Not anymore. The closer I walk, with Life, with The Universe, with God, with my heart, the less I have a need to have THINGS to make me feel safe, loved and protected.

Ah.

Aha!

Give me more.

I shall try.

giving more,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Give more. More what? Ah. Aha! Keep asking, beloveds…

Heart ♥ check: Now what?

Now what?

After you have given your all, to all.

Now what?

After you have shared all you know, with all.

Now what?

After you have done all you know, for all.

Now what?

What of YOU, beloveds?

You are so much more than what you give, what you do and what you have.

I have been asking myself these questions, this morning.

I reached out, to folk.

I encouraged, the whole of the world.

I checked, on a friend.

I yakked, with my twin.

Then, there was…

Silence.

I can feel The Universe…waiting?

For what, my heart asks.

Ah.

Aha!

MY heart is asking!

For ME!

Perhaps, for the first time??!

I want to SHARE my life with folk who love life.

Healing can be lonely. The more healing, the more I find myself wanting to connect with the wide world.

Anywho, just checking on your heart ♥ as I wished someone would check on mine, today.

I’m not sad. Just wishing I had folk to come outside and play with me. I have coloring books and 🖍 crayons.

Be encouraged.

Remember:

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU

All we do is win!!

All we do is win, beloveds!!

Why?

Why, because we are MORE than conquerors.

Why, because God said/says so.

How come we winning?

Because, we have CHOSEN, to win.

Because, we be CHOSEN.

For, greatness.

For, reals!

YYYAAAAASSSSS!!

Defeat, fears us.

Doubt, doubts it can defeat us.

Anxiety, is anxious to keep away, from us.

Why?

Because, all we do is win!!

You better ask somebody!!

Keep collecting diamonds, beloveds.

Live.

Love.

Laugh.

Rejoice.

winning with you,

Cassandra

Don’t be afraid to change corners.

I love my Cali King!

It’s HUGE!

I can stretch out, in ANY corner!

Ah!

I am a creature of habit. Or at least I used to be. Rather, I am trying hard NOT to be, a creature of habit!

In my lovely, lovely HUGE, Cali King, I find myself flopped precisely in the middle. Oceans of corners and sides, just waiting to be enjoyed.

Yet, as creature of habit, I found myself flopping, dead center, leaving oceans of corners and sides, undiscovered and unexplored.

*sigh*

One day, my heart whispered for me to move over, just a smidge, just a tad, just a mere inch, from dead center.

I moved.

Just a titch.

Just a hair.

Just a breath shy of dead center.

I wasn’t ready, you see, to move a whole…*gasp*…smidge, away from dead center!😳

Yikes!

Egads!

However, I COULD try, a twitch, a hair, a breath.

I moved.

Ah.

Aha!

I found the world had NOT, moved on it’s axis. The world still stood! A wonderful rest was had by the whole world. Okay, maybe just me but still.

After that, I moved some more. I flopped this way and thataway. I flopped sideways. I clung perilously, at corners edge. I flopped on EVERY corner!

Now, I make a habit of having no particular flopping habit. Life is awesome when you take some of the limiting habits, from your life.

Yes, positive habits are imperative. I’m talking about habits built just because we ALWAYS did this. We ALWAYS went there. We ALWAYS sat here. We ALWAYS go there.

Why?

Great question! Keep asking!

Why do YOU do some of the things you do?

Oftentimes, we do things for no other reason then what fam does, what friends did, what peers do.

From time to time, it’s good to take stock of our why.

Why, are we continuing, to do this?

Why, are we choosing, to believe that?

Why, did we say no?

Why, won’t we say yes?

You may need to move over, just a titch, just a smidge, just a hair, on order to refocus, re imagine, re invigorate, your life and surroundings.

I feel good about the life I am building. Yes, from time to time I need to flop, in a different corner. But, I am having fun exploring different corners of my life.

Enjoy your life, beloveds. Enjoy new corners. Enjoy flopping this way and that way!

flopping with you,

Cassandra

Note: Whatcha still doing here? You posed to be flopping around somewhere. Get a 😁 going.
