We win together.
We can conquer the darkness together.
We can do mighty things.
Together.
Or, we can collectively turn our backs and watch the world burn down. Together.
Not on my watch!
Who is with me?

I could kick myself.
Truly.
I added days, DAYS I’M TELLIN’ YA, to my illness, simply because I had not stocked up on the right medicine.
I told myself to reorder things. I got busy. Was too busy doing thangs. Smh.
Sure enough, illness knocked, kicked me in the face, and perused the near empty medicine cabinet.
I had just enough to be dangerous. Nothing that would clear up the cough, the congestion and barely touched on the fever. When I looked at the cost of what was needed, I balked. Dummy me.
It only took two extra days of flames erasing my brain for me to holler uncle, aunt and all other entities as I ordered meds suitable for dealing with congestion and cough.
Who knew?! Relief soon followed. Yes, I still feel like paint scrapings. But, I am on the mend. For those wondering how the world I know what paint scrapings feel like, just trust your sis.
I know there is some inspiration in here, somewhere, but I am honestly too tired of coughing to remember.
Someone well please pass out some wonderful pearls of wisdom for us all, okay?
In the meantime, have a wonderful day. This day is as YOU make it. What are you turning your day into?

I sing this song to YOU, beloveds, as I think of you and pray for your life.
I sing, with gusto, asking for The Universe to bring tons of love into your life. I ask that your heart be filled with peace, love, hope and joy.
Listen and receive the care meant and sent for you today.
Be encouraged. Enjoy the rest of your awesome day. If it doesn’t feel awesome, shift your perception. You are still here. You have the opportunity to start again. And again.
Live NOW. LOVE now. Love you some you.

I’m tired.
I do NOT want to get out of bed.
I DO want to work on my dream.
The things I have planned to do, I CAN do from bed.
Ah.
Aha!
This week I am focusing on listening/watching some teaching videos I have been gathering.
I can still put in work.
I overdid work on Sunday and now am paying for it. I have to teach myself to work but not work myself to the point where I can’t get out of bed.
That was for old me. Now, I am just too old fo being that dumb. 🤣
Do you want to hear something funny? Whilst laying down and thinking on my dreams, I found myself rising.
I found lazy pulling later towards the kitchen to get the coffee going. Ah. Aha!
It’s okay to adapt. It’s okay to be flexible. It IS necessary to cut yourself some slack as you maneuver your way towards greatness.
It’s soooooooo quiet, beloveds. I can almost hear my dreams in the distance. I hope…
living in the meantime,
Cassandra

Note: I can truly say the sweetest gift I have been given, through all this hard, is being able to enjoy the quiet, the waiting, with ME. Just me. This still me. This hopeful me. This inspired me. Ah, beloveds, she inspires me. Look at her fight!? Look at her try?! Amazing.
Be amazed by you. Be inspired by your try. Don’t dismiss you or your efforts. Your efforts shall NOT be in vain.

Beautiful.
Ugly.
Two powerful words.
What makes something/someone beautiful?
What makes someone/something ugly?
Is there value only in the beautiful?
Is there no value in the supposed ugly?
Our perceptions shape our world. Our lives are determined by how we choose to see them.
I have been beautiful. I have been ugly. In my thinking. In my perceptions.
I am working on me. I am working on seeing the best in me. I am working on bringing out the best in me.
The world is full of much ugliness right now. It is also full of beauty. I continue to look for the beauty in others. I continue to pray about the ugliness in all of us.
I’m learning to see the beauty in the ugliest of things. We have to learn to love one another, flaws and all. We have to learn to work on our flaws. Together.
Life is worth living. Folk are making it impossibly difficult to want to live in a world that is filled with such hate right now. We don’t have to live in an ugly world that is full of hate.
I choose to love my fellow man. Even the ones who cause me to shake my head, in wonder and sadness. Actually, I do not understand how people can gleefully celebrate the hurt of others. I don’t understand that. I hurt when you hurt. I don’t have to know you. I just need to know that you’re a human being that is hurting.
Let’s start pulling out the beauty in one another. Let’s work to get the ugliness out of our hearts and out of our actions. We can. We have to.

Note: I try to keep the current climate out of my blog. I leave it for others to spread divisiveness, hatred, and fear. I pray for them. I hope for the best for them and their families.
There is too much hate not to confront it. I choose to combat it with love. I choose to shine my light and focus on love. Life is short. Love one another. starting with you.

I wasn’t willing to let this flu/cold stop me from uplifting folk for another second.
Be encouraged.
Don’t let go, beloveds!
We CAN.
We WILL!

Don’t fall for the okie doke. You were built for this.
THIS time.
THIS place.
THIS struggle.
THIS face.
With YOUR voice.
With YOUR race.
In YOUR skin.
With YOUR love.
With YOUR try.
With YOUR resilience.
Now, beloveds, get up, get out there and reclaim YOUR time.
The government does NOT own your peace. Society does NOT own your want to. Those around you do NOT own your agency.
This life is what WE make it. I am making my present glorious. I am preparing a fantastic future. I am leaving the past where it lies.
Don’t fall for the okie doke. You were built for this.
Don’t be dismayed. Don’t be discouraged. Enjoy your moments. All of them.
Love one another. Get in your me time. Put your energy into making things happen in and for your life.

Note: These have been some wonderfully, hard, frustrating, joyful, exasperating days.
I have laughed, cried and sworn I was done laughing and crying.
Yet, I have never been more content. I am sneaking my way towards starting a channel that may do nothing but entertain a dream long held. Ah, what a wonderful thought!…*hugs self*.
I am going to try. Results be what they may be. ALL I have ever wanted was an opportunity.
God has been telling me, for decades, that I was my opportunity. I was afraid to believe Hin. I was terrified to believe in ME. No more. I believe I can. I believe I’ll try. I’ll ask no more of myself than that.
I am trying to drag as many folk with me, on dream pursuit, as I can get. Who is with me? Answer in the comments.

This song ministers to me when I am missing mom so much it almost literally hurts to breathe.
I listened to it after the tornado snatched away so much of me I thought I would never be whole again.
I listen to it when fear attempts to snatch my dreams from the depths of my soul.
I listen to this when lonely days just won’t leave me alone.
I listen to it when I think I have failed and become terribly disappointed in ME.
I have listened through tears. I listen with joy. I listen with a deeper understanding.
Listen and gain a bit of comfort. In the meantime, I lift your tired heart in prayer.
Be encouraged.
