Remember.

Remember when.

Remember all you’ve done.

Remember when you did.

Remember how much you gave.

Remember how much it cost you.

Then, NEVER give up on you  on your dreams, on your future, on your hopes for mankind.

Remember, beloveds.

Chaos wants you to think it has always and always will be here. It hasn’t. It won’t. It shan’t. It mustn’t. It can’t.

WE decide how long we will allow chaos inside us, around us, between us.

I choose to remember a time where most of us cared about all of us. We can return to that time. In the meantime, I am BEING that time/person/safe space.

How about you?

I wish…

I wanted to pick up my dream toys and go home. I still want to. This is what I texted my sis:

Am pretty discouraged. I did the last thing to do when launching by sending link out instead of waiting for the algorithm to suggest and send out my video.

YouTube sends to small sample of my subscribers and if they watch, they send to more folk etc. The problem is not the first video but no one watched the second onward so YouTube is not pushing them out.  I could kick myself.

Terribly disappointed only the six folk watched. I appreciate the ones who did. 

I know fam and friends typically do not rush to their folks channel. I could kick myself. I was super proud of accomplishing a goal of many years. I wasn’t thinking about folk living their lives. 

I wish I wasn’t a creative person. I wish I didn’t care so much. I wish what I did paid the bills. I wish…

I decided to stop round and tell someone to hang in there. I started with me.

Be encouraged.

Note: I let discouragement discourage me. I let fear make me afraid. I allowed hard to stay hard. I allowed doubt to make me doubtful.

Why? Because I had forgotten to sing. I forgot to dance. I forgot my joy. I forgot to turn on my music. I chose to see nothing but darkness and the waves.

One day I got tired of the darkness. I got tired of being afraid. I got tired of doubting. I chose joy and love. I chose to turn on my music. I chose to dance. I chose to sing. I chose to be me. I chose to remember that all things come out in the wash.

Don’t give in to the lie that all is hopeless. It’s not. Life is tough for everyone right now. We can turn things around. We can live a life full of joy, peace and hope. We can’t care about our fellow men and women. We can take care of the elderly. We can make sure children have enough to eat. Even those who don’t look like us.

Don’t you dare allow apathy and fear to keep you from living a wonderful life. Leave that for timid souls who choose not to care and who choose to profit off of divisive miss and fear.

Keep singing.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep laughing.

Keep laughing.

Through the tears.

Keep laughing.

Through the disappointment.

Keep laughing.

Through the no.

Keep laughing.

Through the 😤 frustration.

Keep laughing.

Through the devastation.

Keep laughing.

You SHALL have the last laugh, beloveds.

Keep laughing.

You got this. God has us all. Be encouraged. Encourage someone. Love someone today. Starting with you.

Note: History is talking to all of us right now. It is asking what are we prepared to be to have it to do in these challenging times?

I’m doing my best to make the most of the rest of my life. I have just this little bit of time to make my mark. I am trying to aim true. I keep asking what I can do to make things better. I have to just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Have an amazing today. You’re the best you can and be OK with that. I love you.

It’s okay to be weird, God said to me.

I am FINALLY able to accept, embrace and fully be the weird me God made me to be.

I can’t help it, beloveds. Don’t blame me.

I enjoy weird things. Weird, to you. Like chair dancing. Like asking Alexa to tell me a joke, in the middle of the night.

Like enjoying jello and coffee for a meal.

Like yakking endlessly about all things NFL at age 56.

Like liking obscure shows from India, Greece, Germany and every other corner of the globe.

Like liking corny, dad jokes and making them MY jokes.

Like enjoying just enjoying enjoying seemingly weird things.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.

Keep on being YOU, beloveds. You being you may be weird to some. Heckamiah, your weird may be weird to me. That’s okay. God enjoys it. You enjoy it.

Just stopped by to say a few weird things MY way.

being weird for some weird reason,
Cassandra

Change does NOT have to be the boogie man.

I used to fear change. I used to believe that most change was bad.

I did my best to keep everything the same. I didn’t like entering outside my comfort zone.

Change does NOT have to be the boogie man.

Change can bring wonderful and positive things into our lives. We just have to keep on moving forward and looking up.

I’m building my days now on peace, love, hope, joy and a ton of laughter. I don’t have time to worry about gloom and doom that may or may not happen. I will deal with life as it presents itself to me.

I choose to see the goodness in my fellow man. I choose to bring out the best in me. I choose to give life everything I have. I choose to give away what I have if you will help someone else in need. I choose to wait my turn. I choose to be OK if my turn never comes. I have everything I need right now.

Be encouraged today. You got this. Everything will come out in the wash, remember?

I feel like an idiot.😳

I feel like an idiot.

This is what I texted my twin:

I feel like an idiot. Begging family and friends for likes and comments. How embarrassing 😳. Who am I to think my words would make an impact. Embarrassing. 

I feel like an idiot.

This idiot will be back, tomorrow, encouraging folk. Geez, God. NOBODY came to my meal. Embarrassing. 😳

*Cassandra reminds herself it’s all about the try. Cassandra tells the 📣 cheerleader in her to shut it.*

Be encouraged, beloveds. Even when your dreams feel like a popped 🎈 balloon!

We got this.

Okay, I am fixing to go have a good cry.

wondering what in the fresh hell,

Don’t worry about how you look/feel. Doing something new brings a bit of the awkward.

The motivational videos I did yesterday sounded stilted. The sound was off. I saved the pieces anyway.

I have been enjoying learning.

Don’t worry about looking like an idiot as you learn everything. It’s OK to feel like an idiot as you move forward. I forgot what it was like being back in school.

I had too much fun today to worry about sounding like or looking like an idiot. People will either receive what I put out in the universe, or they will. Simple as that.

I’m looking forward to all the mistakes that I mam going to be making tomorrow!

enjoying every awkward moment,
Cassandra
