Note: I wanted to sleep in this morning. I wanted to sleep in yesterday morning. I didn’t allow myself to.
I told myself that once I start being lazy, it is just too easy to stay lazy. I refuse to do so. I’m going to do something about my life. I’m going to do something with my life.
I challenge you to take five minutes per day to work on your dreams. You can add more time. But, start with five. Then, five more. Then…
You get my point.
This latest effort was not as rough as before. It buffers a bit but gets to the end. Yay!
I did not edit out the speaking mistakes. Not yet. I want to enjoy just enjoying my screw ups. Super healing for that part of me who used to be THE worst taskmaster.
I didn’t need to worry about others chastising me. I had that down pat. Yikes!
We live and we learn. Hopefully.
Learning, is a choice. Accepting we will make mistakes, is a choice. Learning, from said mistakes, is a choice.
I am looking forward to today’s goodies. It’s fantastic wondering what all The Universe has in store for ME. Ah, God. I’m ready.
God, here, is my try. Here, is my love. Here is today’s prayer for every tender heart:
Walk with those who are lonely. Answer those who call. Seek those in need. Give, according to our efforts. Give, because You promised You would. Soothe every aching heart. Give rest to the weary. Make a way where there has been none. Help us to look beyond our own needs. Help us to be a light. Know that I love You just cuz. Your Daughter, Cassandra. 🙏❤🥰
Have an amazing day, beloveds. The weekend is upon us. Get some rest.
Another masterpiece. I am particularly pleased the background music is not super loud.
I enjoyed my try. I forgot that I don’t know what I am doing. I forgot about not feeling well. I forgot about limitations.
I simply enjoyed the process. How simple.
Have an amazing day today, beloveds. Do ONE thing that will take you closer to your dream.
Take ONE step. A tiny step. A shaky step. Still, it will have been a step. Go!
We got thangs to do, beloveds. The world awaits to open before you.
Get after it.

Note: Who knew that it would take FIVE HOURS TO POST FIVE MINUTES OF CONTENT!?
What the what the?!
What in the fresh hell?!
Heckamiah Jeremiah!
I enjoyed every frustrating, exasperating, maddening minute. ❤😎🥰🤗
What worked yesterday did NOT work today. Yesterday, I was able to embed the video here. Today, I had to fight just to get the Instagram link to post. Egads!
I hope you enjoy as much as I did. Be encouraged. Make it happen some kind of maddening way. Don’t let setbacks stop you from putting your effort out there.
I’m having a blast, though! I’m learning how to add music. I’m sure I will either be too loud or it will be too low. So what? I won’t know unless I DO.
In the past, beloveds, I would never do until I did things perfectly. I wanted to get things “right” first. Smh. Now, I just do and put my results out there. I am NOT my results. My mistakes do NOT make ME a mistake!
I used to judge myself, harshly, by my results. Or, lack thereof.
Results vary. Try not to base your worth, your value, or on your perceptions of your performance.
I am looking forward to posting today’s catastrophe, er, video results. I do so, in part, to may, perhaps, hopefully, giving someone else the courage to put their results out there.
Don’t be swayed, but what other folks think of your results. They are viewing things through THEIR lens. Our job is to DO. Period. We leave the results with God/Life/The Universe.
Keep trying, even when it’s trying! asking for A Friend,
I made pudding. I whipped said pudding. Poor pudding.
Anger wanted to turn into apathy. Both lazy and later said “to hell with that” and ran off to get act right.
Act right came storming in and sat me down in front of my try. My try asked me to be patient. I told try that I would keep trying…shhoooooot!
I am not going to list all the awful 📰 news I saw today. I am genuinely 😡 angry. Taking 1 billion 💵 dollars away from feeding young people and school lunch programs has me furious and horrified.
Listening to an Idaho school teacher who is fighting to keep up a sign that says “Everyone is welcome” because the school district says “not everyone agrees with that”, because the sign included children’s hands, of all colors, has me heartbroken that schools are actively teaching students to see folk of color as less than and not welcome.
Ah, beloveds, what are we all doing? How can this be?
I do my utmost to keep this page uplifting and light. I’m over my mad now. I gave myself a good couple hours to be mad.
Now, I shine my light. Be encouraged, all. Love as many folks as you can. Lift up as many hearts as you can.
Keep pursuing your dreams. Work on them today. Even if just for a few minutes. Do ONE thing that will take you closer to your 🥅 goal.
The morning was terribly frustrating 😤. I used the frustration to my benefit.
Promise YOU that you will NEVER allow bad/sad news to make you turn away and run from folk. Promise yourself you will NEVER allow these things to cause you to give up.
Keep looking UP. Keep standing ten toes down on FAITH. This, too, shall pass.
Enjoy yourself. In whatever state you may find yourself.
Take some time out of your day. Just enjoy the day. You don’t have to learn every single second. Do something just because. Take a long nap. Take the day off. Take the time to do you.
Have a wonderful day.
asking for A Friend, Cassandra

Note: I’m tired today. I think I will shut it down early. I think that will pop some popcorn and watch movies. I have been working hard since 4:00 o’clock this morning. Tired was getting really tired. I think I will save the world tomorrow.
Give yourself permission to leave the world saving to others for a day.
Why Can't I Be Loud?!
