Now that you have all the nos out of the way, how about chasing down the yes?!
Yes, I will try it
Yes, I will do it.
Yes, I can.
Life is how we choose. Say yes. Don’t allow your options to be one of apathy. We have millions of choices every day. Not making a choice is a choice. What are you saying yes to today? What are you saying no to?
Choose those things that will bring your dreams closer to fruition. Make today fantastic.
Are you pursuing your dreams? Are you looking out for you? Are you making new friends? Are you trying new things?
Are you chasing down those things that set your heart on fire? Are you star gazing? Are you daydreaming?
Are you failing spectacularly? Are you trying new recipes? Are you reaching out to old friends? Are you making amends?
Life is short. Whatcha doin with the life that you have?

Note: Life is short. Get to living it. You do NOT have to forever be surviving life. Egads, that gets old. Embrace your now. Stop worrying about a tomorrow that has not arrived! Let’s go!! We got thangs to do.
I am running on empty. I am running out of encouraging things to say. Okay, I’m not but it just feels like it. I’m tired of the same old, same old. I’m ready for change. I’m ready to be doing something different. I’m tired of this limbo I find myself in this last year.
I wonder if people get tired of my rah rah messages every single day?
The Universe told me to rest today and watch some action movies. Yet I find myself here. I wonder if anyone else is running on empty these days.
There has been 14 confirmed two tornadoes in my state these past few months. Exhausting. Overwhelming. Depressing. Discouraging. It feels like they would never end. I know they will eventually.
In the meantime, It’s important that we take care of ourselves. It’s important that we allow ourselves time to refresh and to refill. I think I will go find some movies to watch. I need a hero today. I don’t have the strength to be my own hero. I hear popcorn calling. Who wants to join me?
Make sure to take care of yourself. There is only one you. Summer will be upon us soon. Enjoy your day. Enjoy your life the best that you can. Remember all the things that you still have.
Remember that you are more than what you do or what you have. I have to remind myself of it every day.

Note: Have an amazing day. Remember that you are loved and not alone.
I’m thankful today. Thankful for all the hard times. These hard days are forcing me to move beyond my fears. These hard days are forcing me to take my old age and run into the future.
These hard days are making me acknowledge my strengths and weaknesses. These are days are challenging me to my core. I am thankful for that. There are days when I wish I would have chosen the easier path of hiding in my comfort zone. I could do that all day.
I think about my old job and how easy it was. Then I think about the sadness I carried in my heart all day, as I wished I would have pursued my dreams. I don’t have that sadness now. I feel joy.
Yes, I’m anxious because I don’t have a job and don’t know how I’m going to meet my needs. I try not to focus on that. I do my best to focus on what I have currently. Can’t do my best to encourage as many people as I can every day. I do my best to keep myself encouraged. I remind myself that this too shall pass. It will.
Be encouraged, beloveds. Your hard won’t stay hard forever. Keep doing the best that you can. You are building a legacy. Be proud of your try.

Note: Greatness take time. And effort. Keep going.
I did something really dumb. I mean really dumb!…*stamps foot*.
Instead of waiting five days, I miscalculated, added dumbly, and messed up some sorely needed funds.
Five days, Cassandra!😳😡
Now, I have one less month to maneuver financially. All because I couldn’t wait for five days!…*stamps foot*
I made the decision based on fear of what “could” happen. I failed to calculate what “would” happen, NOW, IN THE PRESENT CASSANDRA! WHAT IN THE FRESH HELL WERE YOU THINKING!??
I just stopped by to encourage folk to hang in there and be good to yourself even when you do something absolutely STUPID LIKE DO SOMETHING NOW THAT COULD HAVE WAITED FOR FIVE DAYS!!…opps..ehem….my bad.
Don’t give yourself a hard time when you fall prey to being human. Try to laugh your way through the dumbness. I know I am trying to.
In the meantime, I’m having a cup of coffee, getting over the oops I can do nothing about, and getting on with my day.
In the past, I would have wasted the rest of the day kicking myself and carrying on about something that can’t be changed. I was a dumbsky. It happens. I happened to me today…lol.
Be encouraged. Have a fabulous rest of your Sunday. Geez, Cassandra. Really?!
Go make it happen, beloveds. Make all the hard work for your good. All of it.
In the middle of quitting, I laughed.
I have too many folk to encourage. I can’t quit.
Neither can you. Get back up. Let’s go!

Note: A funny thing happened on my way to quitting. I found the strength to keep it moving. Who knew? God did. Life did. The Universe did. My dreams did. So does yours. Keep going.
There is too much in us, too much before us, and too much for us to do to give up just because of sustained hard. So what?! Keep it moving.
In times past, I would have been having ten fits and blaming the entirety of the world.
I have learned, I am learning still, HOW to maneuver and keep my joy through EVERY circumstance.
Joy has NOTHING to do with what happens or does not happen. Joy has nothing to do with what we have or don’t have.
Joy can be found and had in the bleakest of circumstances.
Be encouraged, beloveds. Don’t despair when you run out of room. You are doing al you know. All you can do is give what you have and ask The Universe to push things over the finish line.
I have done my part. I am fixing to have a cup of coffee and wait for amazing to show up.🥰😎
My heart has been heavy watching folk tearing each other up for no reason other than they can.
No one seems to want to LISTEN.
Everyone is yelling ‘OW’ but nobody seems to want to stop long enough to ask what is hurting.
Folk seems gleeful of witnessing the suffering of others. My heart does NOT understand this.
We are all better than this.
I just stopped by to encourage folk.
If you can’t find common ground, at least make it safe space.
Listen.
Hear.
Empathize.
Care.
Rinse.
Repeat.

Note: We are all we got, beloveds. But, we are all we need. Life is more than money. Life is NOT climbing over others to achieve. Life is NOT meant to be hoarded just for a monied few.
Let’s give two hoots about one another, eh? Asking for A Friend.
Why Can't I Be Loud?!
