Keep doing your why.

Keep doing your why.

Why?

Because your why IS important to somebody!

Why?

Because YOU are important!

Why?

Simply because you were born.

Nuff said.

doing/being my why,
Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: It sure has been mighty hard doing my why, beloveds. Why? Storms won’t stop. Bills won’t stop. Discouragement and disappointment absolutely refuses to stop bugging me. Therefore, I don’t stop. I can’t. I won’t. Crapola.

During especially tough moments, beloveds, it is CRUCIAL to understand these are nothing but tests. Simple as that. Yea, thse bad boys are loud. Yes, the storms are mighty impressive sounding and looking.

Still, these too SHALL pass. The ONLY important thing is how we determine to be/live/move AFTER all the hoopla has gone by.

I choose to be:

Victorious.

Joyful.

Hopeful.

Resilient.

Loving.

Caring.

Empathetic.

I choose to be/remain these things DURING the storms/trials. How about you?

My why is encouraging folk and reminding them they are loved and not alone. What’s your why? Let me know in the comments.🥰🙏💋

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

👓 Opps.

Ehem.

The following may or may not be true, depending on who you ask and who is telling the truth…

I needed to clean my 👓 glasses.

I reached for said 👓 glasses, in near darkness, having just woken from a tasty nap. Alaa, beloveds, you already KNOW where this is heading…*sigh*.

I cleaned said 👓 glasses. Said 👓 glasses felt odd/weird.

I looked in my hand. Said 👓 glasses turned out to be the 👓 case!😆

Opps…lol.

I just stopped by to remind you to laugh at your mistakes. You will make millions of them.

Remember, beloveds, you are NOT your mistakes.  Get used to making them, correcting them, learning from them, trying not to repeat them, moving past them.

Be encouraged.

Quit came for me today.

Quit came for me today.

I sent it on it’s way with a cup of ☕ with a dash od get the hell out of here!🤡💋

Keep going, beloveds.

What do you do when you can’t write, er, fight your way out?

Apologies, beloveds.

I have been digging out from under an awful bout of mini what in the fresh hell is this?!😳

Normally, I write my way out. I promised myself that I would encourage folk when feeling the most discouraged. Alas, discouragement has been more determined than I, this past while.

So much so, I considered deleting this blog,  altogether.

Who cares about it, I asked myself?

I do, I answered back. Crap.

I have had to go back and update a good half dozen pieces. Something I have NEVER done in the five years I have been blogging.

Can I admit something? For the first time in forever, beloveds, I didn’t put the world first.

For the first time, beloveds, I allowed myself to sit with myself, to let myself NOT write, to encourage myself to do absolutely nothing and not feel like a big nothing.

I have put all my focus on getting eyeballs on my blog so I can encourage as many as I can. It has been incredibly embarrassing/disappointing/disheartening/discouraging to see almost no fruit of my labor.

I just stopped by to encourage someone to keep on keeping on. You ARE seen. You ARE heard. You ARE valued. Even when it doesn’t appear to be so.

God/The Universe/Life appreciates your every tear, your every effort, your every movement forward.

In the meantime, keep on being good to yourself. I care. If that means anything. So does He.

caring still,

Cassandra

Don’t fear the storm. BE the storm.

I have been battling bills. Therefore, battling:

Depression.

Frustration.

Anxt.

Ain’t.

I ain’t giving up…lol.

Bills, er, fear has a way of sapping the oomph out of one’s try. Tell your bills to shut up. Tell your fear to kick rocks.

Then, keep moving FORWARD. Keep looking UP. Keep standing on business. Keep standing on FAITH.

This time WILL pass, beloveds. How will it leave you? I plan on being/staying hopeful.

I must admit the silence is awfully loud. I just stopped ’round to encourage you to keep on being about being about it. If for no other reason than to annoy the hell out of fear due to your persistence.🤣🥰

We got this.

Be encouraged.

Real talk: Don’t quiet quit your dreams.

I’m impatient.

I want change NOW. Right the heckamiah NOW, beloveds. So much so, I quietly quit. Where no one could see but me.

I packed it in. Stealthily.

Then, I wondered what the what would I DO with ME?😳

I’m an encourager. How in the world would I pull off being a silent hater?…hhmmm.

I woke up this morning and good habits got to doing what good habits do.

I got up.

I created some uplifting Tiktoks and Instagram posts. I posted said posts.

I made coffee. I drank said coffee.

I reached out to my support. I asked said support for support.

I got about being about it.

There is NO going back for us, beloveds. We can NOT allow ourselves to go back to easy and comfort zones, when the way gets or seems interminably long/hard.

Be encouraged. The hard is a sure sign we ARE on the right path.

I apologized to myself for the few hours I quietly quit. I am being purposefully loud to hold myself accountable.

We CAN.

We WILL.

We have to.

Note: Keep going. Even when it’s hard. Especially then. Also, don’t be too terribly hard on yourself if you have quietly quit. These are tough times for everyone. This too shall pass. I love you. So does He.

A coffee funny.

This never fails to bring a smile to my face.

Have a wonderful day today. As Tabitha Brown always says “Don’t let no one ruin your day”.

Take today with a laugh and a grain of salt. Get in your me time. Be good to yourself as you make your way to a ridiculous acting world.

Just be YOU.

There is a rash of folk who are living their lives pretending.

They are pretending to work out, pretending to be rich, pretending to be entrepreneurs. How sad.

We are so much more than what we do or what we have.

Just be YOU, beloveds. You are one of one. You are unique.

You do NOT have to be someone or something you are not.

It’s okay to age. It’s okay to be young. It’s okay to have little. It’s okay to have lots.

You don’t have to live in a mansion. It’s okay to work a blue collar job.

We are ALL needed. In EVERY space.

I just stopped round to encourage folk to be themselves. The older you get, beloveds, the more you will understand that life is much too short to be concerned with the superficial.

Take care.

Trust the process.

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Sometimes, it’s hard to trust the engineer. Trust anyway. We all want to be in control of everything. Too bad life does not give us that option.

It’s taking everything in me to try and then leave things up to The Universe to make things do what they need to do.

The older I get, the less I find the need to have to be the one to save the day. I just want to be part in saving it. 😂

What he said…

Accept yourself, beloveds. You are all you got.🥰

What is weighing you down? Lay aside that weight. Cast aside all that is holding you back.

You CAN.

You WILL.
