Chart a new path.

I get up early this morning to start my workday.

I’m preparing for the day when I begin a new position. I had my coffee. Did a bit of study. Conversated with family.

The only thing I don’t know now is what the name of my job is. I am thankful. I am grateful. I am hopeful. I have been telling myself positive self talk the last few hours.

I just stopped by so I can encourage someone this morning. Be encouraged. Chart a new path. We all have to start again sometime. That’s OK.

Begin a new routine where you take care of yourself, first, so that you can be there for the people in your life. You don’t always have to finish last.

Keep on being…YOU!

Don’t be in a hurry. Your time will come.

Don’t be in a hurry. Your time will come.

I just had to let a scam recruiter know where to take two seats. It’s a shame that people will take advantage of those in need.

I’m glad that I am old enough to know how the world works. Sadly, there are so many people who fall for scams like this. The recruiter told me that I was pre approved for the job. I knew immediately it was a scam. I said thanks, but no thanks.

Don’t let your situation make you desperate. Be certain to assess and evaluate what you need. Things will work out. We just have to make sure that you plan and do your research.

I researched the company to find that there have been some people who have tried to use a legitimate company to scam people.

I think I will take the rest of the day off. I’m ready to take a break. I’m running to take a breath. I’m ready to take my time. I’m not getting in a hurry. Neither should you.

What’s in your quit bag?

Fear: Quit.

Me: No.

Doubt: Quit, dummy!

Me: NO!

God: Is there any quit in you?

Me: Lemme see…

*Cassandra rummages through her quit bag and finds nothing but laughter, more laughter, a few guffaws, and a Snickers bar*

The Universe: Whatcha gonna do now, Cassandra?

Me: hhmmmmmm. I know!

*Cassandra remembers that she STILL has some F’s to give*….

*Cassandra sprinkles some faith, joy, hope and piece everywhere and wanders off to eat her Snickers bar*…

*whispering*…be encouraged, beloveds. Don’t let your circumstances keep you down. Don’t let the lack of progress keep you from making progress…lol.

Rest. Regroup. Reassess. Rinse. Repeat.

Note: These last few days have been tough as far as job hunting goes. Nothing but rejection emails. My heart just couldn’t take another no.

I gave myself permission to take a mental health day. I needed it. I slept. I slept some more.

I’m ready to get back in the game. Yea, I’m awfully tired of this particular game. Still, it shall end. At some point.

Hang in there peeps. We got this.

Don’t let the Nos make you question your worth.

I felt like a big, fat zero.

I felt like a nada, a nothing, a what in the fresh hell is this.😳

I told myself I couldn’t take another no. I got another no…*sigh*

I turned off the phone. I shut off the phone for a day.

I slept. I rose. I started again. I have nos to wade through to my yes.

I feel like a million bucks. Okay, maybe like 50 cents but that’s improvement!😁🧱

Be encouraged, beloveds. Stop judging your worth by your outcomes. There are a million reasons why your yes has not yet come.

Keep moving FORWARD. Keep looking UP.

Heart check Thursday.

I’m just checking on your heart.

How are you doing? How are you feeling? I hope you are doing and feeling well.

If not, why not?

If so, I’m glad.

Make sure you get in some me time today.

What are you looking forward to? If you’re not looking forward to something, why not? Life is what you make of. Make sure not to dredge your days. You don’t know how many you have. Enjoy them.

This has been a quiet morning. This has been a nice morning. I want to share just a bit of it with you.

Have an amazing rest of your day.

Add some quiet time to your day.

I have been adding more quiet time to my day.

I will:

Turn off the television.

Have a quiet cup of coffee.

Watch a few uplifting tiktoks.

Support someone else’s blog or channel and just let my spirit marinate.

I am going to share more of what settles me, moves me, makes me laugh, makes me think etc.

We all have stories to share. Be sure to share some of yours with the world, beloveds. This world NEEDS what only YOU can provide.

Pour some joy on it.

Pour some joy on it.

Pour some love on it.

Pour some faith on it.

Pour some perseverance on it.

Pour some tenacity on it.

Pour some belief on it.

Pour some positivity on it.

You have spent enough time pouring fear, doubt and tears over your circumstances. Enough already!

There are no victims here. There is always something that we can do and try. There is always someone we can reach out to. There is always the next step.

I woke up with the sun this morning. Turned on my uplifting music. Blasted said music in my headset.

I spent much too much time last year in a woe as me state of mind. I am so glad I learned how to turn that around.

Hard has taught me that hard ain’t nothing but a word!

We get in life what we put into it. What are you putting into your life, beloveds?

Get after it. You’ve thangs to do!

You don’t have to be anxious.

You don’t have to be anxious.

You don’t have to be frustrated.

You don’t have to be fretful.

You can choose to be joyful.

You can choose to be optimistic.

You can choose to be hopeful.

The glass can be half full. It doesn’t have to be half empty. Life is what we make it. I got up early this morning, determined to enjoy my day. All of it.

I’m not going to wait around, for a big check, in order for me to be happy. I’m not going to wait, for a knight in shining armor, to arrive at my door, before I’m happy. I choose to be happy right now.

What do you choose?
