It’s time you start believing in yourself.
It’s time to stop listening to others and start listening to yourself.
You need to give yourself more credit.
You need to cut yourself more slack.
When are you going to start believing in yourself?
I say you do so today!

One step.

You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
Don’t let your challenges stop you, beloveds. Use them to fuel you. Use them to strengthen your faith muscles.
Be open to change. Be open to doing things a different way. Don’t allow the obstacles to remain in your way.
Move your mountain! One pebble at a time if you have to. Just move it. Just keep moving.
I am grateful for this time in my life. It has been frustrating. It has taught me so much about myself.
Don’t let your challenge just stop you.
I have been amazed at how stubborn I have become. I refuse to let go of my dream. I refuse to give up on myself. I refuse to give up on others.
Life is short. It’s time you challenge yourself more.
You are capable of so many amazing things. You will never know unless you try. Neither will I.
Let’s go.

I have been fighting with wordpress.
I keep writing pieces.
I keep scheduling pieces.
I keep posting pieces.
Pieces keep disappearing.
Again.
Again.
Again.
I told myself.I would not get angry.
I told myself to start another piece.
The piece disappeared.
Again.
Here I am.
Again.
Is working on my dream.
Again.
I choose not to waste time on what has happened.
I choose to start again.
Again.
Keep going.
Start again.
As many times as necessary.
We have things to do.

Have never felt more defeated than today.
I have never felt more weak than today.
I have never feel more loss than today.
I have never felt more loved than today.
I have never felt more friendless than today.
I have never felt more mom less than today.
I have never filled more hopeless than today.
I have never felt more less-than than today.
I have never said more.
I have never been more less.
Than today.
That’s okay.
I have tomorrow, I hope.
I hope.
Ah.
Aha!

Note: Be encouraged. Your toughest day(s) is just another opportunity to exercise your faith. What you see is not your apparent doom/defeat. What you see is part of your amazing present. The future will be what it will be.
Discouragement is nothing but an appointment with God. An appointment with The Universe. An appointment with YOU. So, you can continue to reach out for love and support. Be encouraged.
I know today is mostly about me missing mom. Mother’s Day. Crap!

Repeat after me:
I am altogether lovely!
You are, beloveds. You are.
Enough judging yourself so harshly.
Your heart is soooooooooooo special.
You think things only you can think. Isn’t that an amazing thought, beloveds?!
Don’t dismiss you because others appear too busy to notice you and your value. That’s on THEM.
Every day, folks blithely move through this beautiful world. Never taking the time to admire the beauty all around:
The caress of a cool breeze.
The soft sway of long grasses enjoying said breeze.
Ah, beloveds, you ARE:
Seen.
Heard.
Loved.
Cherished.
Now, off with you. Get on with enjoying your surroundings. Enjoy you. Allow others to get to see and know you.
Open your heart and allow light and love to come in.

Me: I can’t see!
God: Turn on the light.
Me: I can’t SEE You.
God: Turn on the light.
Me: I can’t HEAR you.
God: Turn on the light.
Me: I keep running into things.
God: Turn on the light.
Me: I’m terrified of that thing in the corner!
God: Turn on the light.
Me: I can’t..huh? Oh, yea, just a moment…
*Cassandra turned on the light and viewed a room with all kinds of destruction that could have been avoided simply by turning on the light*
Ah.
Aha!
Too often we wait for something or for God or for this or for that.When all we have to do is to turn on the light in our lives.
There are things we can do right now.That will help pave the way for us if we would just do it.
There are things life has been trying to get us to do for many years but we have neglected to do them for all kinds of reasons.
I’m trying my best to get out of my own way. I am surprised at the amount of times I have gotten in my own way.
I’m no longer afraid of turning on the light. Okay.Sometimes I am still afraid, Yet, I turn them on. I need to see.
It’s nice been able to see. I look forward to learning more about me. In the light.
Thank you for allowing me to show you a bit of me and my darkness. I am doing my utmost to love me everywhere. Ah. Aha!
turning on the lights so I can see,

Just because they said you can’t.
Doesn’t mean you won’t.
Just because he said you wouldn’t.
Doesn’t mean you won’t.
Just because she said you couldn’t make it.
Doesn’t mean you can’t.
Just because the world says you shouldn’t.
Doesn’t mean you shant.
Just because you think you can’t/won’t/couldn’t/shouldn’t make it.
Doesn’t mean it’s true.
You CAN.
You WILL.
Why?
Just because you can.
Ah.
Aha!
Don’t give up, beloveds. You will ALWAYS have those who will never believe in you. In your dreams. In your hopes for the future.
So what?!
There will also ALWAYS be those in your corner who shall root for you and will help you pick up the pieces when you fall.
Keep going.
Just because.
going with you,
Cassandra

Note: We got thangs to do, beloveds. We don’t have a moment to waste listening to those who have not the first clue of what we are capable of. Even we have no clue of what we are capable of! Let’s go. We got thangs to do.
Remember:
God SEES you.
God LOVES you.
God CARES DEEPLY for your life.

The world: Who do you think you are?
Me: ME.
The Universe: Who do you think you are?
Me: His.
God: Who do you think you are?
Me: Yours.
God: Ah.
Me: Aha!
I am:
Many things.
I can do:
Many things.
I can go:
Many places.
I can do:
All things through He who strengthens me.
The world challenges us daily. The world wants for us to beat ourselves down. The world wants us to feel small.
It’s important to declare who you are. Sometimes, the noise around us is sooooooooooo loud. It’s hard to remember who we are.
It’s hard not to look around and think we have done enough.
Who do you think you are, beloveds?
If you don’t ask and answer, for yourself, the world and others will speak for you and will convince you of things that are not true.
Who do YOU think you are?
Appreciate your uniqueness.
Love your foolishness.
Be encouraged, beloveds.
God SEES you. God LOVES you. God CARES DEEPLY for your life.
How can you NOT be priceless?

I am a problem solver.
Really.
I am.
At work, the biggest part of my job is solving problems.
ALL day.
And, if I can’t solve the problem, I am supposed to know who can and then make THEM SOLVE THE PROBLEM!
As you can imagine, when I get off work, THE last thing in the world I want to do is to solve another blasted problem.
This is a problem.
Because, after work, I must do the work of figuring out MY problems.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
On top of that, beloveds, I have to fight to not want to solve every problem for every person in the entirety of the world.
I am soooooooooooooooooo glad I have learned how to NOT take on the problems of every man, woman and child. Yes, I fret. I pray. I wonder. I lament. I rage and carry on about why the world most folks are not raging and carrying on for one another.
But, I also allow folk to work out their own hard. I am done with the pillow handing out thing. The hard is necessary.
I stopped by long enough to implore you to stop or to not become the problem solver of the world.
Your fam will figure things out.
Your friends will figure things out.
You will figure things out.
The rest will come out in the wash.
I have done my day.
Now, I rest.
What of tomorrow, you ask?
Tomorrow is not my problem…lol.
giving myself permission to rest,
Cassandra

Seems like everyone was annoyed today.
I found myself fighting not to allow THEIR annoyance to annoy me. How annoying!
The more I tried, the more annoyed folks became annoying. I had to pause and tell myself to enjoy my day and get some act right.
I got some act right.
Whew!
It’s a gorgeous day. Why the world would I waste it on someone else’s mad? I don’t even know what the world they are all mad about. They probably don’t know.
I just stopped by long enough to keep you from letting other folk’s foolishness get you to acting foolish.
I say we all go and grab some snacks.
Who is treating?
