Your efforts are not in vain. Your efforts will bear free. You just have to keep trying. You just have to keep going. You just have to keep growing. Don’t give up on you.
Note: I have been saying that a lot lately. Quitting is not an option.
I turned on my motivational videos. I made some coffee. I did some voiceovers encouraging people not to give up. I didn’t plan on doing that today.
Truth be told, I was going to allow sad to continue to have its way. Good habits was tired of this. Good habits knew we have things to do. Good habits got up and made the coffee. I got the hint.
I’m about to upload more videos to Youtube. I’m about to put out some more needles in the haystack. I’m about to put myself out there to be ghosted.
I don’t know why, but today I am determined by that. I am hopeful by that. I am joyful by that. I don’t know why. Sad should still be sad.
My circumstances have not changed. Still, encouraging others encourages me. I think I shall see what trouble I can get into!
Life truly is what WE make it. I have had to scrape my way out of the pitifuls. I miss mom. I miss working. I miss being financially independent. I miss my friend who moved away.
So what?! What am I going to DO during these times? In real time? Right now?
What did I do? I got up. I made a cup of coffee. I’m preparing to make another motivating video or two.
Be encouraged, beloveds. Keep going. Even when it’s hard. Especially, when it’s hard.
I’m learning to enjoy me at ALL times. Yall do the same.
In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He. 🥰🤗❤😎
Stop predetermining the outcome, beloveds. You have NO idea how The Universe shall answer your ask, your try, your focus, your determination, your perseverance.
Ask!
Persevere!
Try!
Focus!
Determine to win, no matter the outcome.

My 60 inch television appears to no longer want to give up it’s bounty!
Add to that, the rent has been increased. Again…*sigh*
Aimlessly, wandering through the television channels has been my ONE true mindless source of entertainment…*sigh*
I have to laugh. Too dismayed all day to cry.
I must admit, beloveds, that I feel just like the black television screen:
Useless.
There, but unable to make it work.
Tantalizingly there but unusable.
Fresh hell.
I tell myself to move FORWARD.
I tell myself to look UP.
I tell myself…
Ah, shut up already, Cassandra!
I ask Life how long it plans to keep on lifing this way.
I ask The Universe to cut a sista a break already.
I am a bit too annoyed to ask God anything at the moment.
Still, I rise.
Yet, I fight on.
I choose to:
Laugh.
Encourage someone.
Love someone.
Starting with me.
I just stopped my what in the fresh hell is this, long enough to encourage someone.
This too, shall pass.
I truly am wondering how many straws I have left. I tell myself there can never be a last straw. I have too many things/thangs to do.
I can betcha that I will NOT look back on this time and laugh…lol.
We got this. Be sure to squeeze some joy out of the day. I am fixing to go make a cup of coffee and holler up to heaven at mom, for a spell. Ah, mom. Why did you have to run off and leave me at a time like this?

Note: Don’t allow tough circumstances to cause you to see nothing but gloom and doom.
In times past, I would have wallowed in self pity for days. Life is much too short for that. Good yikes, tho. My 60 inch television…*pout*. That made me laugh out loud.
Someone cross their fingers for me. I have to take another assessment. Good grief, I have forgotten soooooooooooo much math!😳🤣🙏🛎
Note: Keep going. I know, life can be sooooooooo disappointing when we focus on what we thought should/could/would happen. I am doing my best to get rid of as many shoulda, coulda, and wouldas as I can.
I am proud of my fight this week. Be proud of yours.
Why Can't I Be Loud?!
