Hate, you are not welcome here.

Hate, you are not welcome here.

Apathy, you are not welcome here.

Despair, you are not welcome here.

I just stopped by to let someone know that they are loved and not alone. Whoever you are. Wherever you are. Whatever your faith is. Whatever you look like, wherever you live. Whoever you love.

We all need one another.

here still,

Note: There are those who are determined that we all hate one another. There are so many who are trying to get people to be enraged, hateful, and spiteful. I refuse to be one of them. I refuse to walk amongst them. I choose to pray for them. I choose to stand against them. I choose….

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Anytime you choose to.

Anytime you choose to.

You can.

Anytime you need to.

Anytime you think to.

You can.

Anytime you have to.

Why won’t you?

Why don’t you?

Why not you?

Life can be tough, beloveds. It’s also fantastically worth living.

I have learned soooooooooooo much, about ME, in this last trying two year period.

I have learned that life is not being hard just to punish me. Life just lifes. Simple as that.

Hang on. Hang in there. Enjoy your life.

No matter what it looks like…

Note: You can overcome the things fighting you right now. You just have to stay in the ring long enough to win the match.

This IS your time. Seize these moments. Try. Then, try again. Until? You win. You learn. You experience.

These days will not come again. Be sure to inhale. Breathe in the goodness life has for you.

Keep moving FORWARD. Keep looking UP.

My dreams just won’t quit me.

My dreams just won’t quit me.

I have tried to break up with them many times. I tell them to go away. Yet they remain.

What do I do with these dreams that just won’t quit me? How can I convince them that I am not worthy of them? They seem not to care. They call me. They sing to me. They tell me that greatness is within me and awesome days are without.

My Dreams woo me. They know my name. They tell me there is so many things out there left for me. I want to believe that.

Every time I want to give up my dreams whisper for me to give them just one more try. I think I’ll try. One more time. How about you?

Shut up, Cassandra!

Shut up, Cassandra!

That’s what I told myself. I have been in the middle of a temper tantrum complaining about life. I was fussing about all the things that had happened to me. I had been laying it on thick.

Something in me rose up and told myself to shut up! I told myself to stop complaining and to do something.

I got up and did something….lol.

Sometimes you just have to tell yourself to shut up.

I was talking to my big sis about my plans to give up on my blog and Youtube channels. Stupid me. How dumb was that? What’s the point in taking away my slim and none chances? Dummy me.

At least, I still have a slim to none chance, right? SMH

I just stopped by to tell somebody to keep on keeping on. What’s the point in giving up? Then what? You won’t be any further than you are right now.

If we must lose, let’s make sure we lose in the arena, not in the parking lot!

Who says you can’t?

Who says you can’t?

Who says you won’t?

Who says you’ll never?

Who says you can’t get there?

Who says it’s not for you?

Who says you won’t be received?

Who says you won’t be loved?

Who says you’ll never get there?

Tell all these dummies to shut up. If you’re one of the dummies, tell yourself to shut up!

You can be, do, and have more than you give yourself credit for.

Be careful what you tell yourself. Be careful who you listen to.

Already successful.

I want to thank so much to commenter who encouraged me about my Youtube channel. It meant a lot to me.

She made me recall why I started the channel in the first place. I’m not looking to be successful. I’m looking to be a source of encouragement. Simple. As that.

The same way as I pop on here to encourage people. I love this blog. It encourages me. It makes me laugh. I plan on blogging until I have no more breath.

Dealing through these days of power has taught me a lot. Going jobless for more than a year has taught me so much about my worth. I am still me. A broke me, but me.

I have been able to use this time to really focus on what is important in my life. Life is so much more than money.

I will be glad to get back to work, but work has now been put in its proper place.

Never again will I allow myself to be burnt out to the point where I can barely get out of bed. Never again will I dismiss my own needs and push my dream to the side. Never again will I put myself last. Never again.

The football season has started. I’m going to enjoy me some football, some coffee and yelling at Mom in heaven.

We are all already successful. In our own way. We need to cut ourselves more slack.

I’m looking forward to my job interview on Wednesday. No matter the outcome. I will do my best. I will keep moving forward. I will keep looking up. I’m asking that you do the same. Be encouraged.

Celebrate your try.

You have come a mighty long way, beloveds.

It’s time. Time you give yourself the credit you so richly deserve.

You fight. You love. You CARE.

Every day, you give your all. You do work, unseen. You give effort, unheralded.

Know this, beloveds: You ARE seen. Your efforts have NOT been in vain.

Keep on keeping on. This life is worth living. I know. I know. These past couple years have gotten to us all.

We SHALL overcome these times. We will. We just have to keep being about that thing called life.

I am looking at myself in awe. Who IS that strong, resilient woman? I wish I had met her years ago!

I’m doing my best not to focus on the outcome of my efforts. My efforts seem to keep adding up to A big fat zero. I keep asking God what am I doing wrong? I keep asking like what else it needs for me to give.

I keep asking God why in the world he left me behind after the tornado tore up everything. What am I supposed to be doing? Help me do that. I just want to do what life needs for me to do, that’s all.

I’m going to do my best to be proud of myself today. I will tell myself to take a bow. I have given my all. I have done my best. God help me to understand that is all that is required.

Let’s celebrate our try, beloveds.
