Leave it on the table: Get your me time in.

I find myself, often, up in the middle of the night, posting this, typing that, watching this, doing all kinds of that, on my phone. I have done much better, beloveds, with putting the phone down so I can have some ME time.

Today, I determined to leave my posting phone, on my work desk and leave it be, once I get off work. That way, I can truly have some me time, once in bed. I do my best to get my pieces done, get folks encouraged, and all things done so I can have some me time before I retire for the night.

For a while, I found myself encrouching upon my ‘me’ time. I was sneakily telling myself my ‘me’ time could wait. After a while, of course, my ‘me’ time turned into nonexistent time.

It’s imperative, to do us, in order for us to be able to do for others.

Soooooooooooooooooooo, beloveds, learn to start leaving things on the table. Get in your ‘me’ time so you can do you, full of vim and vinegar!

Be encouraged.

Keep being about being about it.

Keep trying.

Keep living.

Keep loving.

Keep walking.

Even when you are tired.

Please, please, please don’t allow tired to be the reason you quit. Tell tired to hurry up and get a move on! We got thangs to do.

doing thangs with you,

Cassandra

Note: What a fantastic week this is turning out to be! Yes, it has been full of hard but it has also been full of laughter. Why? Because I CHOSE!

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

In case no one told you today…

True that!

Be encouraged.

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Enjoy your Monday. Love someone. Starting with you.

Real talk: Keep putting the work in.

I’m tired.

I made a promise to get all my pieces done, for the upcoming week.

We are so busy I barely have time to think, let alone write. So, after work, right after work, I told myself to get to work, for ME.

I put in an additional four hours. Yikes! Whew! Ack!

Yet, I have kept my word, to me, to my writing, to you. In the past, I would have used work as an excuse not to work on MY dreams for my life. No more. Life is just too short.

Keep putting in the work for YOUR dreams and goals. Keep putting the work in your relationships. Keep putting the work in healing. Keep putting the work in.

Then, rest. Give yourself time to breathe and let the seeds, of your efforts, grow into whatever The Universe has in store for them and you.

I am tired. A good tired. I have done my work. I have done my try. For ME.

I hear a cup of coffee hollering my name. Care to join me?

satisfied but not,

Cassandra

Thank you for the hard days.

God, thank You for the hard days.

They help shape me.

Life, thank You for the hard days.

They help make me..me.

Universe, thank You for the hard days.

They help me to grow.

Hard days, I thank you.

I used to:

Fear you.

Blame you.

Avoid you.

Now, I embrace all that you have to teach me. I appreciate all that you reveal about and in me.

Hard days, I grow weary of you, at times. Yet, I shall continue to embrace you.

Do me a fave, hard days, go ‘way, now, and let me have a bit of rest. I shall await your return.

grateful for the hard,

Cassandra

55 stole my confidence. I snatched it back.

Turning 55 seemed to steal my confidence.

I have spent seemingly every day since snatching it back!

Ha!

Give it here!!🤯😳

??

Where o where has my confidence gone 🎶?!

55 has:

Turned my fingers clumsy.

Minced my stomach into endless nerves.

Squashed my know how whilst turning it into know nothing. Yikes! Egads! Whew!

I must admit I AM having fun getting to know me confidence free. Now, I can be fully:

Dumb.

Ridiculous.

Awkward.

So what?

I can’t remember laughing so much and so often.

Enjoy you. ALL of you. You won’t always feel and be confident. So what? Doesn’t make you any less…

Ah!

Aha!

You are more than…

YOU get to fill in the blank.

Cut yourself some slack.

55 stole my confidence. I told her to keep it. I am gaining so much more than I imagined.

laughing still,

Cassandra

Uncategorized: Time to dream again.

Time to dream again, beloveds.

I know. I know.

You have given your all for naught.

You have tried.

It looks as though your dreams were put in the Uncategorized bin.

Again!

Lumped in there with all the other ‘Uncategorized’ folk and their dreams.

Seems like the world just doesn’t know what to do with our weird, with our try, with our unique blend of occasional dumbness mixed with precious goofness.

Yet, it’s time, beloveds, for us to dream again.

And, again.

And, again.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Get those dreams back out.

Dust them off.

Get ready to live some of them outloud.

In the meantime, keep on believing in yourself. You have much to share. You have much to contribute. Don’t be as the lazy or the apathetic. Keep blazing your own path and trail. We need as many new places to visit as we can get!

blazing hew paths with you,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Ah, beloveds, get on out there and live. Go on now. Whatchastilldoinhere!?

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Just one more try.

I am tired.

Exhausted.

Worn out from chasing my dreams.

I keep telling myself to give it just ONE more try.

Just one.

ONE.

Keep going, beloveds.

Just one more try.

Just one.

ONE.

Who knows what the try may bring!

trying just one more again with you,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Just when you think you can’t take nary another step, beloveds, KNOW that you CAN. You WILL.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Every time you try. You win.

Every time you try…

You win.

YOU win.

You WIN.

YOU WIN!

The outcome, beloveds, is beside the point!

It’s the TRY, beloveds. Don’t you get it?! It’s YOUR try!

Why do you think your enemy(s) want you to be dismissive, of you try?

Why do you think your critics want you to think they are laughing, at your try?

Why do you think hard and disappointment go so hard on you, EVERY time you try?

WHY, do you think, your dreams move so far, so fast and away from you, as you strain and you TRY?

Ah, beloveds, do you not yet see?

Oh, my friends, do you not yet know you are producing 🗝 keys, 🔹 diamond, and open 🚪 doors EVERY time you try

🚪: Moments

🗝:Opportunity

🔹: Faith.

The greatest gift God has ever given you are hard AND God’s Silence…TOGETHER!

When this happens, you are forced to fight FOR you with everything in you, with everything you have, to produce everything ALREADY WITHIN YOU!

Every time you try…

You win.

winning 🥇 with you,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

🗒: Your dreams are but catalysts in which God, Life and The Universe helps YOU to propel you forward. Ah. Aha! You shall get this in a minute!🥰♥️🗝♥️🔹📦

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU

I have NO idea how to effectively utilize these things or how the world to get algorhythms to do their rhyming and chiming so I can be a blessing to about a billion peeps or so.

Sooooooooooooooooooooo, I click on this. I try a bit of that. I make up all kinds of categories and click on them. I have NO idea what the dailyprompt thingie is but found some folk have found me simply by me clicking dailyprompt this and uncategorized that.

*shrug*

I figure one day some hedge fund bajillionaire will come across my blog and say my how fantastically wonderous Cassandra is and leem fill up her GoFundMe Page with oodles of coinage so I can do some me my way….*shrug*. It’s my blog so I can dream however I so choose, eh?

N-E-Waze, I was figuring it out whilst I am figuring it out and figured I would encourage you to also keep figuring it out whilst you are figuring it out.

Don’t let your lack of knowledge stop you from DOING SOMETHING to make your dreams happen.

Don’t wait on inspiration. Get to perspirating whilst waiting for inspiration to catch up.

Keep doing all you know to do. The Universe shall do the rest.

Note: I think I may have made up some new words. Keep growing. Each and every day. Love yourself. Each and every day. Love someone. Each and every day! Don’t let a day go by that you are not loving someone. Starting with you.

Be encouraged and know your life is precious and priceless. Jesus says tell you hello. 🙂

Love Has No Color!

Okay, so I am currently blessing the neighbors with a concert and singing, badly I might add, ‘”Love Has No Color” by The Winans

This reminds me of a song we used to hear in children’s church:

Jesus loves the little children.

All the children of the world.

Red and yellow.

Black and white.

ALL are precious.

In His Sight.

Now, as an adult, my heart grieves for a world which seems to hate those that does not look like him/her/them.

Ah, beloveds. We are all more alike than we are different.

Currently, I have been enjoying some fantastic Japanese/Chinese YouTube channels with folk doing all manner of interesting things. I use the english subtitles but many of them are still in Japanese and Chinese.

I loooooooooooooooove seeing Chinese and Japenese writing. I have NO idea what the world is being said. Yet, I see the love these wonderous people have for their family and their communities.

The other day, I was watching some Russian thingies or other. They appear to be stoic but passionate folk.

I was looking at folk from Saudi Arabia and other places and wondered if they were hot in their robes and enjoying the passionate way they lived their lives.

I wandered over to Greece and saw the beautiful waters and enjoyed folk fishing and living the life.

I headed over to Spain and ALWAYS love seeing the aerial photos of the huge statue standing over all.

I wandered back over to America and watched cowboys, police officers, doctors, lawyers, basketball players, nurses, bus drivers, postal workers, cab drivers, trash collectors and all manner of folks living their lives.

Ah, beloveds, that we could all come together as children of the world and love one another!

Til that day, I shall continue to be a posse of one and loving each and every soul I can get next to.

Love some folk with me, would you please and thanks.
