One of THE greatest lessons I have learned through living through the hardest times of my life is this:
I don’t HAVE to know what to do because I know WHO to go to.
Simple as that.
Who are you going to? who are you leaning on to support you?
Do you have positive influences in your life? Are you leaning on those who are caring, loving, and supportive of your dreams?
Who are you trusting with that precious heart of yours? Are you with someone simply because they are paying the bills? If so, you can get a job and take care of yourself. You do not have to demean yourself or make yourself less than to keep a roof over your head.
Are you at a job that is bringing out your best self? If not, work towards getting another one. Don’t state a job that is poisoning your soul simply to keep your roof over your head.
When you are in need of counsel, are you going to those who will uplift you and be honest with you?
You don’t need someone who will be condescending to you and pat you on your head. You want someone who will think of you. You want someone who will give you options and let you make the decision for your life.
I seek the counsel of God, FIRST. Then, I reach out to my family and TRUSTED friends.
Finally, I asked myself what I wish for? What I hope for? What I long for?
I’m learning not to rush headlong into a decision. I’m learning to wait. I’m learning to be patient.
I’m learning how to measure twice and to cut once!
I just stopped by to encourage someone. Be encouraged.
I sing this song to YOU, beloveds, as I think of you and pray for your life.
I sing, with gusto, asking for The Universe to bring tons of love into your life. I ask that your heart be filled with peace, love, hope and joy.
Listen and receive the care meant and sent for you today.
Be encouraged. Enjoy the rest of your awesome day. If it doesn’t feel awesome, shift your perception. You are still here. You have the opportunity to start again. And again.
The things I have planned to do, I CAN do from bed.
Ah.
Aha!
This week I am focusing on listening/watching some teaching videos I have been gathering.
I can still put in work.
I overdid work on Sunday and now am paying for it. I have to teach myself to work but not work myself to the point where I can’t get out of bed.
That was for old me. Now, I am just too old fo being that dumb. 🤣
Do you want to hear something funny? Whilst laying down and thinking on my dreams, I found myself rising.
I found lazy pulling later towards the kitchen to get the coffee going. Ah. Aha!
It’s okay to adapt. It’s okay to be flexible. It IS necessary to cut yourself some slack as you maneuver your way towards greatness.
It’s soooooooo quiet, beloveds. I can almost hear my dreams in the distance. I hope…
living in the meantime, Cassandra

Note: I can truly say the sweetest gift I have been given, through all this hard, is being able to enjoy the quiet, the waiting, with ME. Just me. This still me. This hopeful me. This inspired me. Ah, beloveds, she inspires me. Look at her fight!? Look at her try?! Amazing.
Be amazed by you. Be inspired by your try. Don’t dismiss you or your efforts. Your efforts shall NOT be in vain.
Our perceptions shape our world. Our lives are determined by how we choose to see them.
I have been beautiful. I have been ugly. In my thinking. In my perceptions.
I am working on me. I am working on seeing the best in me. I am working on bringing out the best in me.
The world is full of much ugliness right now. It is also full of beauty. I continue to look for the beauty in others. I continue to pray about the ugliness in all of us.
I’m learning to see the beauty in the ugliest of things. We have to learn to love one another, flaws and all. We have to learn to work on our flaws. Together.
Life is worth living. Folk are making it impossibly difficult to want to live in a world that is filled with such hate right now. We don’t have to live in an ugly world that is full of hate.
I choose to love my fellow man. Even the ones who cause me to shake my head, in wonder and sadness. Actually, I do not understand how people can gleefully celebrate the hurt of others. I don’t understand that. I hurt when you hurt. I don’t have to know you. I just need to know that you’re a human being that is hurting.
Let’s start pulling out the beauty in one another. Let’s work to get the ugliness out of our hearts and out of our actions. We can. We have to.

Note: I try to keep the current climate out of my blog. I leave it for others to spread divisiveness, hatred, and fear. I pray for them. I hope for the best for them and their families.
There is too much hate not to confront it. I choose to combat it with love. I choose to shine my light and focus on love. Life is short. Love one another. starting with you.
Me: Well…hhmm. YOU are supposed to help me bring my dreams into reality.
God: I am.
Me: Like how?
God: You have to wait and see. In the meantime, go do something productive, while you wait.
Me: You got jokes, I see…*pout*…
God: Hehe. Ikr…
I feel good. I got up. I got on with my day. I’m reaching out. I’m trying to grow. I’m trying to learn.
I don’t know what the future holds for me. I don’t know how much more of a future I have left.
I’m no longer consumed with thoughts of the future. I have today. How precious. I am going to do my best to squeeze every ounce of love from this heart of mine. I shall give it to you. I shall give it to as many as I can.
I’m not concerned, for one second, about being rejected. I will be rejected. So what? Someone is in need of love. I go! Who is going with me?
