What’s in your quit bag?

Fear: Quit.

Me: No.

Doubt: Quit, dummy!

Me: NO!

God: Is there any quit in you?

Me: Lemme see…

*Cassandra rummages through her quit bag and finds nothing but laughter, more laughter, a few guffaws, and a Snickers bar*

The Universe: Whatcha gonna do now, Cassandra?

Me: hhmmmmmm. I know!

*Cassandra remembers that she STILL has some F’s to give*….

*Cassandra sprinkles some faith, joy, hope and piece everywhere and wanders off to eat her Snickers bar*…

*whispering*…be encouraged, beloveds. Don’t let your circumstances keep you down. Don’t let the lack of progress keep you from making progress…lol.

Rest. Regroup. Reassess. Rinse. Repeat.

Note: These last few days have been tough as far as job hunting goes. Nothing but rejection emails. My heart just couldn’t take another no.

I gave myself permission to take a mental health day. I needed it. I slept. I slept some more.

I’m ready to get back in the game. Yea, I’m awfully tired of this particular game. Still, it shall end. At some point.

Hang in there peeps. We got this.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Perseverance: Absolutely not!

Faith: Absolutely not!

Me: Well, why not?

The Universe: Absolutely not!

Me: Well, how come?

Life: Absolutely not!

Me: Why must you be so mean?

God: Absolutely not!

Me: Geezzz! Okay!…*pout*

*Cassandra huffs off and continues to be about being about it*….geeez, tho…

persevering,
Cassandra

Note: I have to laugh at myself. I can throw a good tantrum when I want to. I was fussing to my twin sister about being tired of having to go through all of this rigmarole just to find a job that I will be complaining about shortly!

Hang in there. Keep moving forward. Keep looking up. Keep joy in your heart. Keep laughter close by. Above all, enjoy your day. Be encouraged.

Don’t let the Nos make you question your worth.

I felt like a big, fat zero.

I felt like a nada, a nothing, a what in the fresh hell is this.😳

I told myself I couldn’t take another no. I got another no…*sigh*

I turned off the phone. I shut off the phone for a day.

I slept. I rose. I started again. I have nos to wade through to my yes.

I feel like a million bucks. Okay, maybe like 50 cents but that’s improvement!😁🧱

Be encouraged, beloveds. Stop judging your worth by your outcomes. There are a million reasons why your yes has not yet come.

Keep moving FORWARD. Keep looking UP.

Heart check Thursday.

I’m just checking on your heart.

How are you doing? How are you feeling? I hope you are doing and feeling well.

If not, why not?

If so, I’m glad.

Make sure you get in some me time today.

What are you looking forward to? If you’re not looking forward to something, why not? Life is what you make of. Make sure not to dredge your days. You don’t know how many you have. Enjoy them.

This has been a quiet morning. This has been a nice morning. I want to share just a bit of it with you.

Have an amazing rest of your day.

Perseverance: Turn up the music, Cassandra.

You have to excuse me this morning. I had to put some extra ooooomph in my coffee today.

I didn’t feel like getting on with the daily grind of life. I wanted to sleep in. I did not feel like fighting with ghost listings and recruiters today. My 12 simply did not want to.

Which is precisely why I got out. Put on the coffee and turned on my uplifting music so I could get going.

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

Make sure you enjoy your day today. No matter what your day brings, know that there are so many good things locked inside if you would look and see.

Determined to keep determined. Be certain you will stay certain, that you will be certain to be certain about your dreams…lol

Do what you need to do to keep on keeping on. Let’s keep going. Simple as that. We got things to do. Let’s get about doing those things.

Add some quiet time to your day.

I have been adding more quiet time to my day.

I will:

Turn off the television.

Have a quiet cup of coffee.

Watch a few uplifting tiktoks.

Support someone else’s blog or channel and just let my spirit marinate.

I am going to share more of what settles me, moves me, makes me laugh, makes me think etc.

We all have stories to share. Be sure to share some of yours with the world, beloveds. This world NEEDS what only YOU can provide.

Pour some joy on it.

Pour some joy on it.

Pour some love on it.

Pour some faith on it.

Pour some perseverance on it.

Pour some tenacity on it.

Pour some belief on it.

Pour some positivity on it.

You have spent enough time pouring fear, doubt and tears over your circumstances. Enough already!

There are no victims here. There is always something that we can do and try. There is always someone we can reach out to. There is always the next step.

I woke up with the sun this morning. Turned on my uplifting music. Blasted said music in my headset.

I spent much too much time last year in a woe as me state of mind. I am so glad I learned how to turn that around.

Hard has taught me that hard ain’t nothing but a word!

We get in life what we put into it. What are you putting into your life, beloveds?

Get after it. You’ve thangs to do!
