#YourLifeMattersToMe

Hope all are okay. I have been praying for all, asking for blessing and rest and peace. For those who don’t believe in God and prayers and such I can’t say as I blame you with folk running around hollering about God and causing holy hell every which way. I pray for those dummies as well…smh…don’t mind folk. They just scare with all that seems upside down.

All SHALL and IS well. Take care of your chicklets(your mind/mental wellbeing), and leave the rest to God and Life to work out.

Be encouraged.

Be encouraged.

Am super exhausted from entertaining but long work day. Just wanted to pop in to send a bit of encouragement.

Be encouraged. No matter what the day has brung, you have mastered it and them the best you could.

Rest. Get back after it tomorrow.

Til then, all WILL be well.

Fret not, beloveds, with a world that seems to have lost it’s last mind, these last days and weeks.

Keep, doing you.

Remain steady, joyful and hopeful.

Hold on.

Don’t sweat it.

You got this.

God and Life has us all.

I got you,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

It’s not on YOU.

It’s not on YOU.

The fate of others, the fate of outcomes, is not on you, beloveds.

It’s not on me, either.

ALL we can do is TRY, give, love, learn to the best of our abilities.

Then….πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

That’s not our problem, now is it?

We have done our work.

Now, we leave Life, we leave God, we leave circumstances, we leave situations, to have at it and do it’s/their thing(s).

You have done your work, beloveds.

Rest, now.

Get outta the way, now.

It’s not how loud, you are.

It’s not how hard, you fought.

It’s not even in how long, you have persevered.

The work, the loud, the length, was all contained in your quiet TRY. Your TRY, done in secret, will be awarded to you openly, soon.

It’s not on you, though. So stop giving yourself such a hard time, please and thanks.

Start your week KNOWING victory already yours. Enjoy the moments, before victory arrives with all your spoils intact and awaiting your enjoyment.

I am excited for you! Your life is changing before your very eyes. You can feel it. You are afraid of the unknown but also excited for the newness to come.

Enjoy this year. This is YOUR time.

rejoicing with and for you,

Sweetpea

Things are NOT what they seem.

Things are NOT what they seem, beloveds.

Yea, it’s me. Back, again.

Where have I been, you ask?

πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Beats the hell out of me…*shrug*

Circumstances, situations, life, Life and who all knows what else have been throwing some serious haymakers of late.

πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Nevertheless.

However.

I, stand.

I, live.

I, love.

I, laugh.

I, cry.

I, rejoice.

I, fume.

I, struggle.

I, learn.

IN THE MOMENT.

Alas, I have still prayed for, thought about, chair danced for each of you, beloveds. Yet, I care enough to allow you to do your own work, as I have learned to do my own.

No more do I demand Life, God, folks, circumstances, etc to do my work for me. I tote my own water, make my own chili, take out my own trash, and all the other mundane things one must do whilst waiting on greatness.

Things are changing at work, again. In trying ways, again. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. The trying changes will just give me extra opportunities to try harder, to laugh more, to learn as much as possible. I am just thankful for a heads up, this time.

Hope all are doing well. Am getting over a dastardly mean cold. Me and fever had a royal row for a few days. Think he has finally said uncle to all this cold medicine and packing his bags.

Am looking forward to looking forward to these next days.

How about you?

I have wondered how all have fared these past days. It’s neat to wonder how folks are doing around the world. Makes me feel like a true global citizen.

Be well, all. Be encouraged, as well.

thinking of peeps today,

Real talk: I am…

I am…

Bored.

Floored.

Don’t want to do/try, no more.

Yet, I am also…

Here.

Present.

Steady.

Ready.

To:

Move, on.

Move, forward.

JUST MOVE, DAMMIT!!

Ooops.

Whew.

Just tired from:

The heat, from the journey.

The rock, in my shoe, from the journey.

The unknown places, of the journey.

The length, of the journey.

TIRED OF THE JOURNEY, DAMMIT!

Ooops.

Whew.

*Cassandra whispers for folks to keep going, to keep moving*

It’s at the most frustrating times, the seemingly endless times, the appearingly non growing times that makes us want to say enough already.

Sadly, most folks give, at this time. Beloveds, KNOW these times are not here to beat or defeat you. They are here ONLY as a mirror, a reflection to show you, YOU!

To show you your:

Growth.

Strengths.

Weaknesses.

Help.

Enemies.

Allies.

Fear(s).

Dreams.

Hopes.

Friends.

Family.

Continue to be, beloveds. Whatsoever state you find yourself in, it’s okay. What’s more, beloved, YOU are okay. You are.

You got this.

I got this.

I am…

*shrug*…doesn’t matter. I win, still.

As do you.

here STILL,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Yipppeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Yipppeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Getting off an hour early, today. Actually, we are slow enough I could stay getting paid to watch paint dry but I would much rather be grilling me some turkey/cheese melts and get ready for some playoff basketball!!

Yiiiiippppppeeeeeeeeeee!

Get your yippppeeee on, peeps……*Cassandra tears from the room hollering yipppeeeeee*

Be encouraged. Remember the point is not the fight, not the battle, not the struggle, not the time this journey is taking. The point is enjoying the journey, ALL of it.

take care,

Sweetpea

Always know…

Your life, matters.

Keep your head up, beloveds.

Keep moving forward, sweet ones.

Keep on keeping on even when you feel like your get up and go has got up and left you like all the other things you have been waiting/hoping for.

Keep, the faith.

Keep, your joy.

Keep, the laughter going.

Rest now, beloveds. We have done this thing called life, ALL week, and are tired. Time for us to rest and do us some us for the weekend, eh?

I got your back.

Have mine.

Jaybird ALWAYS

Nuff said.

I love this quote! So true. Also, am feeling lazy and not quite inspirational so the quote doing all the heavy lifting….*shrug*….don’t judge me, peeps, has been a lllllooooooooooonngggg week.

I told myself I would actually do some spring cleaning and tackle the bathroom for a thorough cleaning. Once, done, I will move on and super scrub the kitchen floor and may fold the MOUNTAIN of clean laundry that seems to have congregated in great piles. I have NO idea how they go that way. I thought once you pulled them out of the dryer, the clothes elf folds them neatly and puts them away. Who knew…..*shrug*.

Apparently, the cooking elf has run off with the folding elf so am going to have to cook here in a bit, after work….meanies….lol.

Weekend is here, peeps. You have done your best. Enough. Get off the work yourself to death train.

As for me, I am going to do that heavy spring bathroom cleaning and kitchen floor scrubbing. Translation: going to do some more Netflix and chill…*shrug*.

be well,

Cassandra

Shaken, but not.

Things are being shaken. Everywhere. In all areas.

Yea, boy, I have been shaken, but not.

I am not, shaken, by the shakings by how the shakings are shaking and helping to make me.

Nah, world, I’m good.

Shake on, Tyrone!

Do your thing, misgivings.

Do you, shaking, and I shall continue to do me.

As was 007, I find myself to be shaken, NOT stirred.

Ah, yea, circumstances, I see you. Yea, boy, situations, I ain’t worryin, ain’t studyin’ you.

Do you, shaken. For, I shall NOT be moved, and/or shaken.

I remain:

Steadfast.

Steady.

Ever, ready.

To do this thing, called life.

I am never, no never:

Defeated.

Permanently, cast down.

Discarded.

I, got this, world.

No need in your needing to see what I be doin’ ’bout you. World, I be doin’ ME! I don’t NEED your say so, world, to be about being about this life. I got God and Life, on my side. I got, me, on my side. I got fam, on my side. I got a few homies/homettes/beloveds, on my side.

There, I don’t mind being shaken.

Cuz, I am NOT stirred.

Circumstances, situations, the world, people, places and things can, shall and do do their thing(s).

To THAT, I say….ha!

For, I am…

Shaken, but not.

What you got, beloveds? I DARE you, to declare you, to let this world know, whose, who and what you can, shall and WILL do!

Where is YOUR:

Mike drop.

Ha!

I got this.

You don’t scare me.

I’m going to do me?

Yea, beloved(s), I, am calling you out. God and Life, have been calling you out. This world, has been calling you out.

What say you?

we be waiting,

Cassandra
