Heart check whatever day this is.

How is your heart?

Mine has been taking quite a beating these last days. It’s a little bit tired. It’s a lot of bit set up with having to keep on keeping on. Still, I keep on keeping on.

Are you being good to you? Make sure that you are.

The week had been so discouraging inadvertently. I stopped turning on my uplifting videos and music. Consequently, I started seeing the darkness instead of the sunshine, waiting just for me.

As soon as I realized this, I turned on my music. I did a chair dance or to.

I kept my promises to myself. I caught up on all my pieces. I had a cup of coffee. I cut myself some slack. I dried my tears. I laughed.

I think I will pop me some popcorn and watch a ridiculous action movie.

Have an amazing rest of your day. Remember that you are loved and that you are not alone. Reach out for love and support as needed.

Walk in the midst of your dreams.

I am living my dreams, beloveds.

Outloud.

In real time.

I told God I am not waiting around anymore. I’m doing what He has asked. It’s not MY fault He has given me some reeeeaallly dumb sounding things to do/say.

Here goes nuttin, world. Here I come. Don’t blame ME, though. 😎🤣🌍🎯

Note: Let’s go!! Good habits got to work tonight. I didn’t feel like it. I put on myself wandering over to my computer and getting to work. We have been avoiding each other this week. It has been terribly frustrating not seeing more from my efforts.

My give up has given up about three or four times. I find there’s too much in me to quit for long. I keep reminding myself that change takes time. I tell myself the best is yet to come. I tell myself to keep trying. Everyday.

I have to take out the trash tomorrow. I don’t want to. Which is precisely what I’m going to.

Hang in there. Your time will come.

The world is our oyster, not our waiter!

The world can be our oyster, beloveds. That is, of we work for and towards the things we want/seek/need.

Life does not owe us a thing. The 🌎 world has no interest in serving your needs. Truth be told, beloveds, we are not the center of the universe.

We are one of many. Unique. One of one.

Our world of what we make it. We can serve ourselves anything we want. We are the ones who have to put forth the effort. Life doesn’t owe us anything. Our families don’t owe us. our friends don’t owe us. We don’t own them.

Folks give and do what they can because they choose to. We are give each other enough room to determine whether to be helpful or not. I’m doing my best to give folk permission to be there for me or not. All I can do is ask for support and wait patiently for whatever comes. Or not.

I have secretly been having quite the pity party. Upon realizing this, I made myself get out of bed. Life doesn’t owe me a thing. I owe life every bit of effort and tries that I have within me.

I stopped blaming the old me for not being able to get the new me over the finish line. Her time is passed. It is up to me now. No matter what happened in the past, all I have now is a present to make something of my future. All I have is today. Now. These moments.

I’m trying to let myself off the hook. I keep having to forgive myself for all I have not done over the years. I keep telling myself to be patient with me.

Be patient with you. Forgive yourself if you need to. Start again as many times as you have to.

It does not have to be perfect, just yours.

I have been enjoying making bad videos. 🥰🤣

I have been having a hoot indulging in MY passion.

I blog. I encourage folk with bad/corny/boring motivational videos.😆😇🥰

Now, I have NO idea how folk will respond to my efforts. Most may never. That’s okay.

Keep doing your why, beloveds. It does not have to be perfect, just yours.

I think I will go make a few more bad, corny, boring, probably never going to be seen motivational 📹 videos.😁😄😊

Have an amazing today.

Do what you love.

Note: Life is what YOU make it. What are you making?

Find a way.

Make the way.

Be the way!

Be encouraged.

Keep doing your why.

Why?

Because your why IS important to somebody!

Why?

Because YOU are important!

Why?

Simply because you were born.

Nuff said.

doing/being my why,
Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: It sure has been mighty hard doing my why, beloveds. Why? Storms won’t stop. Bills won’t stop. Discouragement and disappointment absolutely refuses to stop bugging me. Therefore, I don’t stop. I can’t. I won’t. Crapola.

During especially tough moments, beloveds, it is CRUCIAL to understand these are nothing but tests. Simple as that. Yea, thse bad boys are loud. Yes, the storms are mighty impressive sounding and looking.

Still, these too SHALL pass. The ONLY important thing is how we determine to be/live/move AFTER all the hoopla has gone by.

I choose to be:

Victorious.

Joyful.

Hopeful.

Resilient.

Loving.

Caring.

Empathetic.

I choose to be/remain these things DURING the storms/trials. How about you?

My why is encouraging folk and reminding them they are loved and not alone. What’s your why? Let me know in the comments.🥰🙏💋

One step.

You are loved.

👓 Opps.

Ehem.

The following may or may not be true, depending on who you ask and who is telling the truth…

I needed to clean my 👓 glasses.

I reached for said 👓 glasses, in near darkness, having just woken from a tasty nap. Alaa, beloveds, you already KNOW where this is heading…*sigh*.

I cleaned said 👓 glasses. Said 👓 glasses felt odd/weird.

I looked in my hand. Said 👓 glasses turned out to be the 👓 case!😆

Opps…lol.

I just stopped by to remind you to laugh at your mistakes. You will make millions of them.

Remember, beloveds, you are NOT your mistakes.  Get used to making them, correcting them, learning from them, trying not to repeat them, moving past them.

Be encouraged.

What do you do when you can’t write, er, fight your way out?

Apologies, beloveds.

I have been digging out from under an awful bout of mini what in the fresh hell is this?!😳

Normally, I write my way out. I promised myself that I would encourage folk when feeling the most discouraged. Alas, discouragement has been more determined than I, this past while.

So much so, I considered deleting this blog,  altogether.

Who cares about it, I asked myself?

I do, I answered back. Crap.

I have had to go back and update a good half dozen pieces. Something I have NEVER done in the five years I have been blogging.

Can I admit something? For the first time in forever, beloveds, I didn’t put the world first.

For the first time, beloveds, I allowed myself to sit with myself, to let myself NOT write, to encourage myself to do absolutely nothing and not feel like a big nothing.

I have put all my focus on getting eyeballs on my blog so I can encourage as many as I can. It has been incredibly embarrassing/disappointing/disheartening/discouraging to see almost no fruit of my labor.

I just stopped by to encourage someone to keep on keeping on. You ARE seen. You ARE heard. You ARE valued. Even when it doesn’t appear to be so.

God/The Universe/Life appreciates your every tear, your every effort, your every movement forward.

In the meantime, keep on being good to yourself. I care. If that means anything. So does He.

caring still,

Cassandra

Real talk: Don’t quiet quit your dreams.

I’m impatient.

I want change NOW. Right the heckamiah NOW, beloveds. So much so, I quietly quit. Where no one could see but me.

I packed it in. Stealthily.

Then, I wondered what the what would I DO with ME?😳

I’m an encourager. How in the world would I pull off being a silent hater?…hhmmm.

I woke up this morning and good habits got to doing what good habits do.

I got up.

I created some uplifting Tiktoks and Instagram posts. I posted said posts.

I made coffee. I drank said coffee.

I reached out to my support. I asked said support for support.

I got about being about it.

There is NO going back for us, beloveds. We can NOT allow ourselves to go back to easy and comfort zones, when the way gets or seems interminably long/hard.

Be encouraged. The hard is a sure sign we ARE on the right path.

I apologized to myself for the few hours I quietly quit. I am being purposefully loud to hold myself accountable.

We CAN.

We WILL.

We have to.

Note: Keep going. Even when it’s hard. Especially then. Also, don’t be too terribly hard on yourself if you have quietly quit. These are tough times for everyone. This too shall pass. I love you. So does He.
