All over again, ALL OVER AGAIN!😳

What do you DO, beloveds, when life makes you make lemon meringue from the lemonade you had to make, from the lemons life handed you?

I had to find out. In real time. Ack. Ick and Heckamiah Jeremiah!…*stamps foot*.

The job I was due to start on my birthday, has been pushed back to start December 1st.

BUT, I have to redo ALL the pre-onboarding stuff and pass all of it, AGAIN, and wait….AGAIN.

Then, I will have one more step to get through and THEN hope this contract will have not been yanked beneath me…again!😳

I admit it. These events through me for a loop. I lied to myself. I told myself I was fine. I attempted to be about being about it.

Then, I got mad.

At God.

At Life.

At The Universe.

At me.

At the stupid, blasted job.

Rinse.

Repeat.

I cried.

I pouted.

I pouted AND cried.

I fussed.

I tossed in the towel.

I tossed myself into bed.

I tossed and turned, in said bed.

Good habits told me to shut up all that noise and get back after it.

So what asked me “so what?”.

Boredom got bored watching me act the fool.

Act right told me to get some act right.

I agreed with boredom and act right and for to being about it!

I just stopped by to encourage someone. Starting with me.

Be encouraged.

Start again as many times as it takes.

Stuff happens. More stuff has happened. So what?! What are YOU going to DO about it, beloveds?

Note: We got this. Hard is not here to break you. Hard is here to get across to your hard headed self that you can, that you will, and that you are so much more than you give yourself credit for.

Now, stop pouting at the hand you have been dealt and enjoy the game!

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Searching for something.

I’ve been searching for something.

I’ve looked everywhere.

Something is missing.

Somehow.

Some way.

I can feel it.

IT.

WHAT am I looking for?

What is IT?

It has been calling me lately.

At first, a quiet whisper.

Later, a nagging itch.

Now, a silent roar.

It has taken over.

Everywhere.

It pursues me in my dreams. Awakened, I wonder where it is.

Restless, my days now seem empty. I don’t know what is missing. I just know there is SOMETHING missing.

Crap.

I must find it.

Where are you?

seeking,
Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: I have been restless for days. My heart is desperately seeking SOMETHING,  beloveds. I have NO idea what it is.

My birthday is coming. I am now closer to 60 than I ever was to 50. I’m not sure how I feel about that.

Normally, I would have written my way out. I would have written dozens of inspiring pieces meant to encourage you and me.

This time, I have decided to sit with this. This unknowing. This unsettled feeling. This. It. Ah, God. What do I DO with me now? Asking for many friends.

This is a challenging time in history. Things are changing. Things have changed. Many things have gotten hopelessly worse.

I choose to continue to be a light. We shall make it through these times. Somehow. In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He. Be encouraged.



One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

No longer.

I’m no longer:

Looking for a way out. I’m pressing my way through.

Trying to remain comfortable. I’m stretching my boundaries.

Hiding from life. I’m living my life with intention.

I’m no longer settling for less than my best.

No longer do I hold back. I’m moving forward. I’m stretching towards something special.

I no longer look for the exit door. I embrace whatever I find in the room.

I no longer see lack as an excuse.

I no longer allow myself to remain unchallenged.

No longer do I hang my head in despair.

I no longer hold myself back.

No longer will I allow Lazy to run my life.

I’m no longer willing to give myself excuse not to try.

No longer will I get out of the fight. I would take the fight to everything that is getting in my way.

I’m no longer willing to allow disappointment, frustration and all its friends to keep me from pressing through.

No longer…

determined,
Cassandra
