I want.

I want to be a vessel of peace.

I will be.

I want to be a safe space for folk to be loved and cared for.

I will be.

I want to be the kind of person who will love those who don’t love me.

I will be.

I want to be a light.

I will be.

I want to be one who brings joy to the joyless.

I will be.

I choose to be a vessel of peace. I choose to be a safe space for folk to be loved and cared for. I choose to be the kind of person who will love those who don’t love me.

What do YOU want?

What do YOU choose?

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Priceless things.

Priceless things:

Open arms.

A shoulder to lean on.

A listening ear.

A warm hug.

I could use some priceless things today.

Could you?

Note: I find my heart to full of sad to finish this note. Folk are so busy tearing up the world and each other in search of what they think are priceless things.

They trample over hearts for money. They would sell their souls for clicks and likes. Ah, that the world only knew the beauty of priceless things. I have many priceless things to give but few to give them to. Ah, God. What do I do with this love?

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Hold fast: Settled.

The unknown is unnerving today.

The unknown is unsettling today.

God has my back.

I KNOW Him.

That settles it.

Which settles me.

Hold fast, beloveds. The unknown can be absolutely terrifying if you focus on what you don’t know. Focus on what you DO know: You are loved. You are NOT alone.

Be encouraged.

Note: Hang in there. There is sooooooo much negative noise in world right now. It’s hard to block out the foolishness. We must. We have too many thangs to do.

Let’s do our best to stay focused on our dreams. Let’s make them come true. Some kind of way! Let’s go!!!!

Don’t waste a moment. Challenge yourself.

Note: My phone is silent. No job offers. No calls for coffee ☕. 56 is alone. Will 57 arrive with her in the same place? I don’t know.

Still, I give my all EVERY day. Why? Because we get ONE shot at this thing called life. Maybe my all will lead to a bit of something for me. Some day. In the meantime, I’m trying my best to give my something to someone. My something may be enough one day…

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Give yourself away.

Give yourself away.

Your smile.

Your style.

Your laughter.

Your love.

Give yourself away.

Your heart.

Your heartaches.

Your heart breaks.

Give yourself away.

Your tenacity.

Your truth.

Your never-ending youth.

Give yourself away.

You are priceless.

You are precious.

You are infinitely loved.

Give yourself away.

This world needs the unique gift called YOU.

Pressure is a privilege.

Don’t fret.

Don’t stress.

Don’t fear pressure.

Pressure is a privilege.

Pressure only visits the worthy.

Pressure will only reveal itself to the humble.

Pressure reveals.

Pressure works with only those few souls who are undaunted by fear and failure.

Pressure accompanies greatness.

Pressure precedes the victory.

Pressure manifests magnificence.

Pressure unleashes the before untapped essence.

Embrace the pressure.

Welcome this sign that you HAVE arrived.

You have made it to THE final stages.

Ah, pressure.

What shall you reveal about me?

Note: The pressure you feel, beloveds, is simply bringing out the diamond in you!

Make them take the long, hard road.

Fear.

Make it take the long hard road. Don’t make it easy for fear to scare you from your path.

Doubt.

Make them take the long, hard road. Don’t make it easy for them to wreak havoc in your mind.

Apathy.

Make it take the long, hard road. Don’t make it easy for it to discourage and dissuade you.

Do the hard thing. Work through the difficult thing. Make hay with the impossible thing.

Dreams are miracles WE make happen in real time!

Go on ahead, beloveds, and create your miracle. While so doing, remember YOU are a miracle.

believing in and with you,


Cassandra

Doubt came to visit me. I made it do the laundry.

Doubt came to visit me. I made it do the laundry.

I no longer entertain doubt, beloveds.

As soon as doubt stops by, I give it something to do. I don’t waste time wondering if I can. I get to doing something.

Doubt will always come calling when you endeavour to do something with your life.

When doubt stops round, beloveds, give it something to do.

Work on your dream.

Exercise.

Read.

Write.

Sing.

Visit someone who could use some company.

Do the neighbor’s yard.

Phone a friend.

Do NOT entertain doubt/fear. All that does is multiply them and imprisons you.

Note: Don’t let your percieved limitations limit you. Find a way. Make a way. Show us the way. You know more than you give yourself credit for. We all NEED your you! As only YOU can be. Come on out of hiding and allow the world to experience the great like known as you.

One step.

You have been preparing for these moments your whole life.

You are here, beloveds.

You have arrived. This is your time.

It’s time. Time for you to reveal your greatness for all the world to see.

You have been preparing for THESE moments your whole life.

Fear not. If so, take fear with you! These are the moments you have been waiting for.

Enjoy them. Do your best. Try. Then, let the chips fall where they may.

You may win. You may lose. Whatever the result, you gave your all.

There is beauty in your try. YOU did. YOU loved. YOU gave. YOU strove. YOU endured.

In spite of. Despite. Through it all.

Be proud of you. NOW. Don’t wait for the outcome to decide if you are satisfied.

Be filled with joy. NOW. These are awesome moments. ALL of them. The building of. The making of. The success of. The defeat in.

In ALL of your moments, beloveds, take in the wonder of YOU. You tried. You gave it all you got.

You have been preparing for these moments your whole life. Enjoy them. Enjoy YOU!

You are ready for THIS.

I don’t know if I am ready for THIS promotion.

You are. The Universe would not have promoted you otherwise.

I don’t know if THIS will fit me.

It might. Try it out and see.

I’m not sure if I will like THIS.

You’ll never know until you try. See if it fits.

Ah, beloveds, The Universe is asking for you to have FAITH. In YOU. In your try. Keep going. The game is not finished. You are not finished. You are just getting started.

Rest as needed. Then get back in the arena and give it your all. Leave it ALL on the field. If you must lose, lose knowing you did all you knew to do. You can live with the outcome after that. Let’s go!!!!
