Use your reasons why you have not, as fuel ⛽ to get after it.

My tummy is in rebellion. It keeps rushing me to the bathroom 🚽. 😳

I have thangs to do. I do NOT have time to waste, beloveds.

In the past, I would have allowed lazy to coax me into 🛏 bed. Now, I simply tell later to get going but to take things a bit more slowly. Later is getting in the habit of doing something, if even just small things, to keep my dreams fueled for the day.

I also switched to working on my phone 📱 since it is not conducive being on the computer 🖥 and rushing to the bathroom every other five seconds.

Use your reasons why you have not, as fuel ⛽ to get after it.

Once I learned that trick, life became a lot easier. I wasn’t forever looking for Thanos in every inconvenience…lol.

Life is good. Even with an upset tummy.😁😳🤣🥰

enjoying this boring life of mine,
Cassandra

Note: Enjoy your life. All of it. Life is so very short. what are you doing with the life that you have? We are all so focused on worrying about things that really don’t matter. We are also focused on how much money we are making or not making. We are not seeing what life really is all about. Have an amazing rest of your day.

Tell distractions, hell no!

I had texted my brothers something.

Then, I got about making my dreams happen. I put the phone down. I got about being about it.

Being about it got distracted. Distracted was dying to see what the phone had to say.

The phone got to yammering for me to pick it up.

I told distraction, the phone and being about it to shut it up, already!

Be about it was smart enough to get back to being about it…

being about it,

Folk: Do what makes YOU smile.

I’m going to ask for your patience, beloveds, on the front end.

I am going to do a me. Rather, I am going to BE me and explain something that makes NO sense that will end up making perfect sense. I hope.

I have been lying in bed and contemplating the word ‘folk’. Specifically, I have been musing over the fact that I have been using the word ‘folk’ an awful lot in my pieces, of late.

Why?

Because doing so makes me smile.

Why?

Because I could use a million other words to describe folk but like using the word folk Because it makes me smile.

Why?

Because,…hhmm…*shrug*. No idea. It just does. So I do. Me.

I shall continue to do me. I shall continue to do that, which makes me smile. I suggest you do the same.

We can all be odd ducks 🦆 from time to time. So what?

I write 📝 in such an odd way that at times that spell check and grammar check have NO idea what on earth to do with my words. That’s okay. I know what I mean to say. I say it. I’m MY way.

Keep walking YOUR path. In YOUR way. At YOUR pace. Many, most may/will question what/why on earth are you doing/saying that?! That’s okay. Your path is YOUR path.

Your path does NOT have to be explained. Just taken. You don’t have to be ashamed over your path. It’s yours. Folk may not understand now but will be grateful you built it!

Folk look upon the NOW. Your why knows why you are building and taking this path. Even you may not yet know why your why is building this path and leading you down it. Keep going. Keep trusting your why. God does. Life does. The Universe does.

Your why IS/WILL lead you down the right path!

See? That wasn’t so painful, was it? You folk will learn to trust me sooner or later. 🥰❤️‍🔥❤️‍🩹❤️

Be encouraged. Keep on being…YOU.

Focus.

Focus on today, beloveds.

Focus on what you can do, now.

Focus on the folk in front of you.

Focus on today. Let tomorrow look after itself. Let the past stay there.

Do it for you.

I love encouraging folk.

I love writing.

I love the creative process.

There is just SOMETHING about creating SOMETHING from NOTHING. It never fails to amaze me.

This blog was created, beloveds, with YOU in mind. Still, I enjoy it. I delight in it. I no longer fret about who may or may not show up.

I show up. Every day. Here. Present. I’m doing my best to do so, in my every day life.

Life is short. Show up. Be present. Put yourself out there. You can’t be loved if you don’t. Do it for you. You will be so glad you did.

Break through them!

Obstacles.

Break through them!

Doubts.

Break through them!

Fears.

Break through them!

Challenge yourself.

Be more.

Do more.

Try harder.

Then, beloveds, get up and try again! And, again!

Yesterday was sooooooooooo discouraging to me. I tried and tried and tried and NOTHING turned out as I had hope.

Hope is burning a hole in my soul. I don’t know what to do with it. This hope is making the day almost impossible to get through.

I find myself breathless, with anticipation. Then, disappointment sets in at the end of the unfulfilled day.

Was the day unfulfilled, though? I tried. Hard. I loved. Hard. I lived. How can THAT be considered a failed day?

Yesterday was a good day. I’m going to keep my hope alive. I have NO idea what THIS day shall bring. I hope. Ah, God. What do I DO with me today?

hopeful still,
Cassandra

When you are done, be done!

I finished my ‘work/dream’s goals two hours early. Yay!

To reward myself, beloveds, I did more work. Just kidding. I put on one of my relaxing ocean videos and am now chillaxing, on the beach, in my mind. Ah.🥰

Chores are waiting for me.😳🤨🤔🏃‍♀️🤸‍♀️

I am NOT going to overdo like I did this past Sunday. I am teaching myself to put in the work, then sit the work down. Enough. Finito! WeBeDoneO!

I hope you are having a wonderful day. I am enjoying the day enough for ten people.

Have you worked on your dream today?

Have you gotten in enough me time this week? There is still time.

Take care.

Don’t be intimidated. Learn to use what works for YOU.

I’m learning.

I’m failing.

I’m learning AND failing.

I’m learning how to fail with grace.

I’m learning that failing is part of learning.

I’m learning…

Don’t be intimidated. Learn to use what works for YOU.

Note: There are tons of programs you can use to create content. This used to intimidate me. I had not the first clue what to try, first.

So, I didn’t try. One day, I made myself try one. Then, another. Then, a few more.

I am finding I like Canva for this. But, I like Capcut for that. Then, I use my one phone to upload this, combined with a bit of that.

You will never find out, beloveds, what works for you, until you try and see what works for you.

Enjoy the process. Even the moments when you are ready to toss the laptop over the balcony railing.
