Keep going, beloveds.

Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
The Universe has a way of making the bed 🛏 awfully scratchy, at times. A good way of getting us uncomfortable enough to MOVE.
Us humans can be impossibly impossible to move. We value our comfort, don’t we? Above all, sadly, sometimes.
I’m about to take a leap of faith. In ME. Soon. Perhaps even today.
Why? Because I keep trying to talk myself out of it. I have already given myself the “nobody will care” speech three times, and it’s only Monday.
I’m going to try, or I may lose my nerve entirely.
Don’t give up just yet, beloveds. If for no other reason than to see what all the fuss was about after your dreams come true.
I want to see what my dreams have been yammering about all these years.
waiting as patiently as an old 🧓 impatient, hungry lady can,

Note: This has been an uncomfortable year. Jiminey Crickets! Whew! Hang in there. We got this.
In the meantime, enjoy you today. Leave tomorrow for tomorrow. Stop worrying about how long it’s taking. It takes as long as it takes. I love you in case nobody told you.

I needed an answer.
Right now!
Hurry up, God! I need to pay my bills.
Nothing but silence greeted me.
I was okay with the silence, initially. The longer the silence dragged on, however, the more I began to focus on all the awful whatifs that could/ would happen if I didn’t find the right answers. Right now!…*stamps foot*
The silence makes me want to rush ahead. I dare not. Egads.
The older I grow, the more I understand I would rather wait for the RIGHT answer, than to settle for any old answer.
Your answer WILL come. Wait for the right one.
While you wait, be sure not to rush back to comfort because the waiting appears to be too long.
I find myself fighting NOT to chase old ways simply because the wait is never-ending. I’m ready to get on with it. I’m ready to be done with these tests. Egads and holy whiskers already!…*stamps foot*…😂
In the meantime, keep being good to yourself. I hear a pot of ☕ cackling. Whose up for some?

I found the perfect spoon.
It’s such an odd little spoon.
Long.
Odd looking.
A bit misshapen.
Still, it is THE perfect spoon for scooping ice chips! I love ice chips! I love, love, love my little, long, odd looking, a bit misshapen spoon!
I imagine that I am God’s perfect spoon. Misshapened but loved. Ah, God. I love being the spoon You made me to be. I fit for what I was called to be.
I think we are all perfect spoons. We just have not met all our fits.
Keep putting yourself out there, beloveds. Soon, someone will be saying you are perfect for them.🤗🥰😎
Be encouraged.

My dreams have been teaching me to be practical.
My dreams are also growing legs so they can be grounded on 🌎 earth, not up in the clouds as an intangible, unattainable, impractical thing.
I have been watching a British show where some have decided to chuck their jobs, use their life savings, run off to exotic lands to build/start/run hotels and restaurants with NO experience. 😳
What’s worse, beloveds, are the folk who refuse to take in the advice and counsel of experts they reached out to for help.
Typically, the majority flames out. Only those who are willing to ground their dreams, in the here and now, are able to negotiate their pride, ego, and absorb what is needed to bring their dreams to fruition.
Being practical is a pain. It requires adulting…*sigh*.
Dreams needs legs. They need to be grounded in a bit of reality. Some. A tad. Th trick is determining how much??😳
I have been re examining my dreams. I did find a few unrealistic things in there. I was honest enough to acknowledge they were formed through the eyes of a child. I have been going through them with adult eyes.
Still, I think we need a bit of whimsy. Practically speaking. 😎🤣
Be encouraged, beloveds, as you work your dreams. We shall see them fulfilled. Hopefully. Joyfully. Eventually…

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

I have been battling bills. Therefore, battling:
Depression.
Frustration.
Anxt.
Ain’t.
I ain’t giving up…lol.
Bills, er, fear has a way of sapping the oomph out of one’s try. Tell your bills to shut up. Tell your fear to kick rocks.
Then, keep moving FORWARD. Keep looking UP. Keep standing on business. Keep standing on FAITH.
This time WILL pass, beloveds. How will it leave you? I plan on being/staying hopeful.
I must admit the silence is awfully loud. I just stopped ’round to encourage you to keep on being about being about it. If for no other reason than to annoy the hell out of fear due to your persistence.🤣🥰
We got this.
Be encouraged.

Quit when you are done.
Nuff said.

Note: I was doing some thangs. I was tired of doing them thangs. I wanted to quit doing those darned thangs. I kept doing the thangs.
Why?
I wasn’t done yet. 💯🎤👣😘
Quit ONLY when you are done, beloveds. Don’t give yourself permission to give up because it’s too hard or taking too long. Keep trying. Don’t chase the trophy. Pursue the excellence that comes from persistent, perspiring effort.
One step.

I have been watching a wonderfully entertaining British television show about folk trying to save their businesses.
The main obstacles have been an unwillingness to let go of old things, old ways of thinking, old this, that and everything.
Everyone wanted to stay in their comfort zone. Yet, everyone wanted change/new/different.
No one wanted to compromise. No one was willing to set aside pride/ego to make NEW tradition(s).
I think on why I didn’t move beyond my comfort zone years ago…
I was much like those folk: Stubbornly clinging to traditions long passed their usefulness. I had grown. Life had moved on. I needed to move on with it.
I stayed the same. Holding onto tradition and doing things “that way” simply because that’s the way things had always been done.😳
I’m learning to make new traditions. Don’t be afraid to start a new, beloveds. It’s part of life to do so.
