Note: Life is going to life. Hard times are going to be hard. Folks are going to hurt your feelings. You are going to do, say, and think some super stupid things that don’t and won’t serve you. So what?

Stop using those things to give you the excuse to comfort eat, quit, complain and all the super dumbsky things we do AND say, when going through things we don’t like.

Yada yada. Nada nada. Tell yourself you are going to get some act right. Then, beloveds, go on ahead and get some act right before God, Life, AND The Universe gives you the swift kick, to your behind, that you richly earned and deserved….hahahahahaahahahahahah. Ow, God, we sowwy…lol.

We got this. Let’s go get it. Let’s love someone. Starting with ourselves.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

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!

Old has been looking for me.

Old has been looking for me.

I have been hiding.

I don’t want to catch old. I’d rather catch cold.

Old has been stalking me. I tell old to kick rocks.

I want to play. I want to dance in the rain. Old says I am much too old for that.

Ha!

I look forward to 57 and all I shall do to her and within her.🤔🤣

sneaking up on 57,
Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: I have spent the last week or so absolutely refusing to allow sad to mess up my coming birthday. I have felt soooooooooo old lately. No idea why.

Maybe, if I had a playmate or two…

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Don’t be afraid to use what’s in front of you.

I’m starting my third channel. I’m being more deliberate in how I began this time. Yes, I’m going back to work on the other two, but here I can really focus and hone in on things.

Years ago I was asked what I thought of chat GPT. I was afraid to try it. Back then, I was afraid to try many of the. New technology that was meant to make our lives easier.

In the last year I have been branching out on the research. I have been utilizing as many tools as I can come across. Yes, I am careful of what I use and I follow my research with more research.

I don’t go by what everyone is saying. I research for myself. Then I let myself be open to changing my mind. I don’t know everything. In fact, the more I grow, the more I know that I know next to nothing……hahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaha!

I have not been successful yet. That said, I’m learning a lot. In fact. I have been steered towards what I truly want to do. I’m taking a pause on things to actually pursue what sets my heart on fire. I’ll be speaking more of this in the future.

I’m actually thankful that my channels have not taken off. I have been able to regroup to reassess. And to ask myself what it is that I am hoping to accomplish.

Now that I know that my heart has gone off in the direction has been wanted to go off in for the past 30 years.

All of the failures before are helping me to reach my dreams now. I no longer view them as failures, but as stepping stones to my greatness. I hope you will do the same.

I no longer see my mistakes as catastrophes. I see them as a chance to begin again. I see them as a chance to exercise my faith muscles. I see them as a chance to grow. I see them as a chance to laugh. I’ve been laughing often.

I just stopped by to encourage someone. Starting with me. Don’t be discouraged if you have not yet succeeded. Life is speaking to you a mixed your mistakes and your failures. Listen. You’ll be surprised at what you hear.

Find the courage.

Find the courage to try, even though you may lose.

Find the courage to launch out, even though you may have to go alone.

Find the courage to take the first step, even though you don’t know how long the journey may take.

Find the courage to reach out in friendship, even though your efforts may not bear fruit.

Find the courage to speak your truth. Even though people may not listen or believe you.

Find the courage to laugh even when everyone appears to be angry.

Find the courage to walk away from groups and things that do not serve us all.

Find the courage to walk towards the light, even though you may leave behind many friends that are in darkness.

Find the courage to speak. Even when you are the only one who will.

Find the courage to live your best life. Life is short.

What would you do if you were not afraid to…?

What would you do if you were not afraid?

What would you do if you were not afraid to:

Fail?

Fall?

Be ghosted?

Be left out?

Be left off?

Be embarrassed?

Be misunderstood?

Be uncomfortable?

(Add your things here)?

Beloveds, life is much too short for you to be allowing these things, to be allowing fear, to keep you from LIVING.

Get out there. Life is short. Do things. Do them afraid, if need be.

Embrace your life. Enjoy EVERY ridiculous thing that happens within it.

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…

Cassandra

Note: It’s important to challenge yourself from time to time. It’s crucial to demand the best from yourself. It’s imperative that you not allow your life to be tossed to and fro. Life is what you make it. Make it an amazing one.

Receive: Your life is trying to give you something.

Your life is trying to give you something. It’s up to you to receive what life you’re trying to give you.

What is it? That’s up to you!

We spend so much time being distracted by noise of our own making. We are afraid to be still. We are afraid to listen to the silence life is trying to speak to us through.

Whenever life puts up a stop sign, we see it as something bad, so we try to blow past the stop sign. We try to rush to put something in the quiet.

Stop.

Listen.

Be willing to learn.

Be willing to change course.

Be willing to do something completely different.

Be willing to change your mind.

Be willing to open your heart.

Be willing.

This is what life has been asking me. I have been willing. I’ve been willing to be made willing…..hahahahaha!

Are you willing?

Listen: Your mistakes are trying to tell you something.

I have made many mistakes in my life.

I have felt like a mistake many times in my life.

I have refused to forgive myself for mistakes made many times in my life.

It has only been going through this last tough, hard year that I realized that I was not a mistake. These hard days has taught me that mistakes simply happen.

I have learned, through every painful, tearful step, that all I can do is try. To do the best I can, and life is going to do what life is going to do. Period and end of story.

As I wait this next chapter in my life. I am encouraged. I am pardoned. I enlightened. I am grateful. For every mistake. For every misstep. For every mishap.

Each one brought me closer to my dreams. Each one told me about myself. Each one revealed the miracle called hope.

I’m learning how to listen to my mistakes. I turned them inside and out now. I take out all the gifts now. I make sure to get out all the laughter now.

We all make mistakes. We will continue to make them. This is how we learn.

I just stopped by it and encouraged someone to stop berating themselves for the mistakes they have made. Your mistakes are talking to you. Are you willing to listen?

Note: Society doesn’t level best to want to get rid of us when we make mistakes. The world wants to cancel us when we are not perfect. That’s why I love God so much. He loves me. All of me. Warts and all Mistakes and all. How great is that?!

Stop giving yourself such a hard time for your mistakes. They are revealing the diamond in you!
