It’s time for us to soar. Eagles fly. Be the eagle that you are. It’s time to see how far we can go. I’m ready to win. Are you?

Note: Look forward to your life. Put down the bills and start daydreaming. What would you like to accomplish this year? Start small. Start big. Just start. One step at a time. Just take the first one. Don’t wait for courage to catch up with you. It may never.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Connections: It’s not you. It’s them.

Ack.

ACK!!!!!!!

My bluetooth said it was connected but I could NOT hear anything!!!…*stamps foot*

You can only be paired with two devices. I was ONLY paired with two devices. Or, so I thought. Sooooooooooooooo, I had to go on a needlessly STUPID treasure hunt to hunt down the unneeded connection so I could connect THE BLASTED NEEDED CONNECTION ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, finally, FIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNAAAAAALLLLLY, I found I had been paired with the laptop, phone and television….*shakes head*.

Long story short, beloveds, I managed, just barely/thankfully, to pair myself to the correct device.

This got me to thinking how we are so often paired with unneeded, unnecessary connections that do nothing but frustrate, disappoint and keep us from serving our purpose.

Sometimes, we have to do a periodic check to ensure we are paired to and with the correct devices!

What are you paired with? Do those connections serve you and the connected source? Are you connected to THE Source?

Are you connected to things which bring you nothing but heartache and headaches?

Take some time, beloveds, and check on your connections. You may find out that it’s not you. It may be them. It may be him or her. It may be this, that or the other which is hindering your progress.

Have a wonderous day today. Be sure to love someone in this day. Starting with yourself.

Tell hate ha!

Tell hate ha!

You are NOT welcome here!

Tell hell no!

Hell, you know where your friend hate can go!

Tell despair nah.

Nah, we ain’t got no time for you!

Tell lazy no way!

We have too many thangs to do!

Now get out there and LIVE,  beloveds.

The louder hate gets, the louder I become. I REFUSE to allow hate to spread without me doing all I can to extinguish it.

Call me DEI because of my skin color. Call me unqualified because of my race. Ha!

Call me whatever you like, world, I KNOW who I am. I KNOW where I stand:

Ten toes down on FAITH.

100% on HOPE.

1,000,000,000 times 1,000,000,000 on LOVE.

Keep on being YOU, beloveds. Unapologetically.

It was/is never about the storm.

The worst of the storm passed me by.

I was prepared.

I did not fear.

I lived through an F4 tornado in my yard, last Memorial Day Weekend.

THAT storm, helped me to prepare for, to withstand, to understand and make my way through THIS storm.

There was no warning for the tornado. There were days of warning for this storm.

Life is never really about the storm itself, beloveds. Storms happen. We prepare for them. We make it through them.

If we are smart, we waste little time railing against the coming storm or those which shall surely come.

Each storm brings out a storm of things for me to fight with and OVERCOME.

The storms are not here to break us, beloveds. Be encouraged. You SHALL make it through the storms. HOW you make it through is completely up to you.

Arrive hopeful. Remain joyful. Stay faithful.

Change does NOT have to be bad.

WordPress has changed how things look. I like things to be familiar. I like things how I like things. I’m having to teach myself to embrace change and not throw too many temper tantrums when they happen.

I have to admit, the changes are working for my good. initially I thought they would make things harder or take longer. I am finding they are making things. easier to do and. the experience better.

As things change in your life beloved. don’t think of change as bad. All things change. Things were never meant to be permanent.

I have been enjoying this new me. 56 sure looks good on me!

Enjoy the changes in yourself. At least, the changes are making you more interesting!

🌮 Tacos for breakfast: Don’t be afraid to be YOU.

I like weird things for breakfast.

I enjoy having breakfast items for dinner.

I like being weird.

Yesterday, I had chili for breakfast. Today, I’m having tacos for breakfast. How great is that?!

Sis thinks I eat in ridiculous combinations. I ask her who made folk the food police on what we should and should not be eating? Or, WHEN we should be eating, said “acceptable” food products?

I have been enjoying my weird. my weird has been especially weird lately.

Life is short. Get your weird on!

Note: Rejoice in 2025. You spent too much of 2024 being all sad and wondering what the world is going on. Do something completely ridiculous. do something that will make you laugh out loud in the middle of doing the ridiculous. invite someone into your ridiculousness. Share all of you. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be yourself. So go on. Be yourself.

Be intentional with your life.

I have started the year off right.

I’m getting up early. I’m getting in my hydration and nourishment.

I’m loving myself. I’m loving others.

I’m reframing my past. Yes, I have gone through some tough times, but everything was not bad. My family did the best they could with what they had. I’m moving on with a brilliant future and a wonderful present.

I have spent a wonderful day, letting folks know that they were loved and not alone. How great is that?

I have not wasted one moment worrying about bills and how I’m going to make it. I will make it some kind of way. In the meantime, I’m enjoying my life and everything that happens within it.

I can’t believe January is almost over with already. I have enjoyed every minute of it. I suggest you do the same. Be encouraged.

Why do I have to be the one?

Why do I have to be the one?

I don’t HAVE to.

I CHOOSE to.

Why must I always be the one to take the high road.

I don’t HAVE to.

I CHOOSE to.

Why should I be the only one trying?

I don’t HAVE to.

I CHOOSE to.

Will you be one? Will you choose to?

In their place, we shall sow love, joy, hope and as much care as the 🌎 world can stand. Folk are waiting.  Who is with me

Don’t let your limitations limit you.

Vertigo has been kicking my tail lately. It has come roaring back into my life in the last few days.

My vertical has not been this bad and almost a year. I think the universe gave me a reprieve because of the tornado. Or, I was too busy being  scared half to death because I didn’t have a job and trying to find one. I didn’t have time to focus on having vertigo.

I don’t let it bother me. I take my time. I live my life. I take care of myself the best I can.

Don’t allow your limitations to put a limit on what you can achieve throughout the day. Do what you can. Be patient with yourself. Be extra understanding when you’re going through tough times.

I don’t know when it became acceptable for everyone to be so hard on each other. Let’s cut each other some slack. We’re all doing the best we can with what we know.

Stop limiting how far you can go. Just go. As far as you can. As best you can.

going with you,
Cassandra
