It’s time to release your Uh,oh! World, here I come.

I’m no longer afraid.

Uh,oh!

I finally believe that I can.

Uh,oh!

I understand that I do NOT have to have fear as a daily dance partner.

Uh,oh!

I am no longer afraid to be unapologetically me.

Uh,oh!

I KNOW that I can.

Uh,oh!

I KNOW I can do ALL things through Him that loves me.

Uh,oh!

I no longer NEED a cheering section. I root for myself.

Uh,oh!

I no longer need an audience to validate my talents. I share what I have. That is enough.

Uh,oh!

I no longer have to buy love. I am altogether lovely. I matter. I count.

Uh,oh!

I no longer have to hide my goofy nature.

Uh,oh!

I no longer have to fear rejection of man.

Uh,oh!

I no longer have to dip my head in shame/guilt.

Uh,oh!

World, here I come.

I am prayerful.

I just stopped by to encourage someone. Starting with me.

July ended rough. August has started out tough.

Yet, I am determined. Quietly. I fight on. Outwardly. I rejoice. Inwardly.

Be encouraged.

Note: My fishing rod has remained empty. My needle has not yet been found. Yet, appears to have forgotten where I live.

I gave myself the day off to hide from my dreams. I couldn’t take their smirk today. I’ll look for them tomorrow….

Keep pruning.

Life comes with a lot of pruning, doesn’t it?

It sure can be painful!

Keep pruning, beloveds. We have to keep the weeds out of the garden. We have to continue to water the plants. We have to continue being patient. All we can do is all we can do and then wait for the fruit to bear itself.

Change takes time. Cut yourself some slack.

We are building our legacy one day at a time. I may never see or eat of the fruits of my labor. So be it.

What she said!

Just HAD to share this.

Be encouraged, beloveds. Life is short. Stop stressing about bills. Enjoy your friends and family.

Start a blog. Start a channel. Start an adventure. I have been having a blast working on my channels. I am building one day at a time.

I am learning so much about ME as I live life with intention. Without fear. With a ton of mistakes and laughter.

Ah, God. I am seeing the method to all this hard and madness.

Keep making mistakes.

Keep making mistakes.

I keep making mistakes. I have had to start over at least 10 times. I’m finding new ways to make mistakes.

That said, I have been having a blast. In the past I would have been frustrated and angry and would have quit hours ago.

I understand now that things take time. A lot of time. An inordinate amount of time. Good grief.

I choose to invest in that time. I choose to invest in me. It will take as long as it take.

Nuff said.

I just stopped by to encourage you to keep on keeping on. Makes as many mistakes as required to get things right.

Take the time to take the time.

I have been narrowing my focus. I am hammering down what I really want to talk about and deal with for my Youtube channels. I have found that. I’m going to have to break them up into more channels. There are several different things I want to do and say.

I’m glad I’m taking the time to take the time now to. Get all of that out of the way. I have been studying for the past year or so.

There are so many voices and advice about how to start, where to start, what to do, how to do, what not to do. Sometimes, having too much information can be worse than having none at all.

The more organized I become, the more ideas are coming to me. In different areas of my life. It has been a pleasant surprise.

My big brother has been a big help. We have been arguing with each other about fear. He says I never have to be afraid. I tell him we all face fears at some point, another. I tell him that fear is nothing to be ashamed to admit to. We all have things to overcome.

And listening to him, though, I have been learning so many more things about me. I realized I had not been as honest as I should have been about what I really wanted to do. After I got 100% honest with myself, all kind of desires became pouring out of my heart and soul.

I have also been finding ways. To make things easier for myself. I’m trying things in different positions. I’m trying to get out of those old habits of doing things just because that’s the way they have always been done.

I’m learning how to embrace this new me. I’m being more accepting of my mistakes. I am being more patient with myself. I don’t allow annoyance in while working on new things.

I have also been reaching out more to my family and friends. I want them to get to know the real me. I don’t know how much time I have left on this earth.

I’ve been thinking more and more about my mortality. I’m trying my best to leave a positive legacy. I’m doing my utmost to leave as many positive messages as possible I can for a world that seem to be so dark right now.

I just stopped by to encourage someone today. Starting with me.

Have an amazing day, beloveds. Your life is so precious and priceless. Lift up your head. Open your heart. Allow yourself to experience all that life has for you.

Living with chronic things: Your limitations do NOT have to limit you.

I have been fighting with vertigo for years.

Unsuccessfully. Frustratingly. Resignedly.

We have become reluctant roommates. We tolerate one another. We fuss with one another.

The one, is forever trying to gain the upper hand, over the other.

There are days, when I raise my hand, in victory. There are other days, when vertigo stands, victoriously, over me. Satisfied.

I used to be terribly discouraged by this. That is no longer true.

The older I grow, the more I understand that limitations do NOT have to limit me.

I can maneuver around them. I can incorporate them into a SUCCESSFUL, JOYFUL, and INSPIRED day.

Life is what WE make it, beloveds. WE choose if we are going to enjoy our day. WE decide if we are going to be a light.

WE determine if we are going to allow chaos to enter and reign in our lives.

Contrary to popular opinion(s), neither Tiktok nor what political party can/does rule our lives, our thoughts and our actions.

WE do that. I don’t say this to lecture. I say this as a reminder, to me first, that we are not some hapless, hopeless dimwits who are being led around by the nose.

Knowing this, we have to have the courage to take the reigns.

Don’t despair over your limitations. You can be, have and do as much, or as little, as you CHOOSE and ACT on. Simple as that.

Currently, vertigo and I are in a death match over who will control the rest of my day. I am going to enjoy my day, regardless.

I just stopped by to encourage someone to keep on keeping on. Starting with me.

Have an amazing rest of today.

Don’t wait.

If I learned anything from the tornado, beloveds, it was how important it was/is to do things NOW.

Don’t wait.

Don’t worry about lack. Do things. Now. With what you have.

You have more than enough to do SOMETHING. It may not be as much as you would have liked. It will have been something.

Life is short. Get out there and live. With intention. Stop being tossed about because you have not bothered to add your input.

I tell myself these things every day. I share them with you. Not as an admonishment. Just as words that may help some to move.

I used to remain still just because I told myself I didn’t know what to do. I became paralyzed and do nothing.

The aftermath of the tornado got all up in my face and DEMANDED I DO SOMETHING.

Something.

Anything.

Just try, Cassandra!

I began to try. I began to fight. For me. For my dreams. For yours.

I fight. Still. I have to.🤗

🧱. I have walls to knock down. I have doors 🏛🏘 to open. I got thangs to do. As do you.

Don’t wait!

doing thangs,
Cassandra

Turn your mad/disappointment into positive ACTION.

I was mad.

Thoroughly hacked off.

Got some bad news.

Got some maddening news which made me madder.

At first, I told myself I would spend the rest of the day ticked off.

Then, I looked at the clock:

3:22.

I allotted myself 8 minutes to be as royally ticked off as I’d like. I had a life to live.

I had my mad. I vented. I was highly hacked. I looked at the clock:

3:35. Five minutes past my allotted time. Ha!

I got on with my day. I decided to turn my mad into some pieces.

I am talking to you.

Be encouraged.
