I lay down with discouragement. We talked for a little while.

I lay down with discouragement. We talked for a little while.

I asked it why it was so damned discouraged?

Said it didn’t know. Said it “just wuz”.

After a while, I told discouragement it had to go. I had thangs to do. Discouragement understood. It went in search of folk easily swayed. I was not.

I just stopped by to encourage folk a bit. Starting with me.

Be encouraged. We CAN. We WILL. Eventually. I think.😳🤗😂🥰

Note: Things really WILL be alright. I have just been focusing on the tossing waves. 🌊 Time to focus on getting to the other side. Some kind of way. Be encouraged. Don’t give up. Not just yet.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Real talk: Sometimes, you just have to hang on during the storm(s).

These storms, the last four days, have been relentless.

They have, in fact, been historic. Awful flooding. Dodging 🌪 tornadoes. 14 or so, at last count.

Since Wednesday morning, I have done my all to keep folk encouraged whilst trying to hang onto my sanity.

I keep telling myself this is NOT last year’s tornado.  Doesn’t help much with 🚨 sirens going off every which way and vertigo losing its mind.😳🤯

I just stopped ’round to encourage somebody. It’s easy to want to throw in the towel when all hell is breaking out everywhere.

Hang on. Hang in there. The storms will and do pass. Hold tight, to your dreams, until they do.

I have not used these storms as permission to comfort eat, rage at storms doing what storms do, or berate myself for being tired of having to be positive whilst going through fifty million storms already!!!!

Beloveds, it’s perfectly okay to be tired of being about being about it when things are hard for a good length of time.

Be tired. Be human. Just don’t quit. We have too many thangs to do. Summer will be here soon. Keep moving FORWARD. Keep looking UP.

Hold fast to your peace. Keep standing ten toes down on FAITH. Be sure to laugh. Even if you can find nothing to laugh at save how dumb you look hollering at the storm…lol.

We got this. God has us all. Be encouraged. If you are feeling really low, it really will help to look out for someone else. It will also help take your mind off your own what the hell is this.

I want not to care.

I want not to care.

I wish that I could give up on my dreams.

I told dreams to shut up and leave me alone.

My dreams asked about all the other folks who were close to giving up. My dreams asked what if we gave up?

I have no plans on finding out. I told apathy, despair, disappointment and discouragement to get out of my face. Told them I would be back tomorrow!

I faced down a 🌪 tornado. I can find a way. Somehow.

I hope…

Be encouraged, beloveds. Even when all seems hopelessly lost and the success of your dreams are remote.

Ah, God, this is not funny.

holding on just barely,

Note: When discouragement comes in like a flood, hold on tight to your dreams. Don’t you DARE give up. Not ever. Have a good cry/pout but keep it moving. The damned 🗻 mountain WILL move at some point.

Speak: Talk to me. Help me to see life through YOUR eyes

The world needs YOU, beloveds.

Yes, YOU.

We need YOUR perspective. We need YOUR  hopes for the future.

Why? Because it takes ALL of us. Not just the loud, angry few. The world needs as many positive voices it can hear.

Talk to me. Help me to see life through YOUR eyes, beloveds.

Just for a laugh.

This cracked me up.🤗🤸‍♀️

Have an amazing day today. Be sure to squeeze in as many laughs as you can.

Don’t forget to take your dreams with you. They have been hankering to get out of your underwear drawer. Let someone see them.

My voice. Your voice.

Too often, beloveds, we allow silence to dominate, leaving despair, destruction and darkness to reign unchecked.

Life is short. How much of our lives are we wasting chasing things that will not matter when all is said and done?

I don’t mean to get on a soapbox. I have truly been asking myself these questions.

I have been thinking of my mortality. I have no idea how many days/hours I have left.

I damn betcha I am going to spend every day of the rest of them letting you know you are loved, you are not alone and you are worth it.

Be encouraged.

I dare you to dream.

I dare you to dream!

I dare you to love.

I dare you to try.

Beloveds,  life is short.

A legacy is formed with words. Our legacy is built by our actions.

What are your words/actions saying about you?

You are the miracle you have been looking for!

You are the miracle you have been looking for!

Get out there and live.

Perfect timing: Your due season shall come.

I finally got around to watching “Music Of The Heart” starring Meryl Streep and Angela Bassett.

I had heard of it and had always meant to watch it. Watched it and was wowed. Was terribly moved by the song “Music Of My Heart”.

Prettiest song I have ever heard and says everything I feel for and about God, right now. He really has taught me how to love, how to love me. He showed me the music in my heart.

I have prayed and tried. Tried and prayed. Cried. Cried out. For THIS time.

My time is here. It has arrived. In it’s due season. EVERYTHING shall has it’s due season. Everything.

Nothing we do shall stop the evolution of time. Should we end our end, time continues on.

I stopped by to encourage someone. Ah, beloveds, be encouraged. You shall, as the bible says, reap if you faint not. Keep on in your well doing. Your end shall be sweet.

In the meantime, embrace and enjoy the journey.

Life is good. Even when it’s hard.

Be encouraged. We got this. God has us all.
