I wanted to encourage folk. Yet, I have been super tired.
These last few weeks have found me in bed more than out of it. Vertigo has been my constant companion and tormentor. Ack and sheeeeuuuuit.
I keep telling myself to be encouraged, Cassandra. I keep telling myself to keep on keeping on.
This morning, I told myself we will just try again. At first, beloveds, I wondered if I would even find words to say. Discouragement has been dogging my thoughts. I keep telling it to kick rocks and go away.
I found one word. Then, two. Then, a sentence. Then, a paragraph.
After a while, I forgot the spinning world. My heart began to refill itself as I concentrated on others.
I just stopped by to encourage someone to reach out to others. We all need one another. My lonely is not so lonely today.🥰
I give myself permission to be me. I give myself permission to make a million mistakes today. I give myself permission to miss mom. I give myself permission to wonder why things are not moving forward.
I give myself permission to be tired. I give myself permission to be lonely. I give myself permission to be content being alone. I give my heart permission to feel whatever it needs to today.
Give yourself permission. Let yourself off the hook.
I find myself a bit sad today. It seemed like there are more and more influencers who are. coming out to be liars. Many have turned to chasing dollars instead of providing the authentic content that drew people to them in the first place. I find that sad.
Instead of using their platform to continue to encourage uplift and entertain others, they see it as a way to cash in a bag. They have lost sight of why they did what they started in the first place.
I find it sad that society has lifted up money to the place where it’s okay to treat others any old kind of way, just so long as you make that money. Life is more than money.
There is nothing wrong with learning from others. I learn from different people every day. Yet, I make certain to search things out for myself. Just because someone said something does not make it true automatically. Just because someone became successful one way does not mean that will be your way. It is just one example of success.
As you pursue success, remember to take everything with a grain of salt. Research things for yourself. understand that just because it worked for him does not mean it’s going to work for you. You may have to tweak things or do things completely differently. That’s okay.
I’m not getting on anyone. Just sharing some thoughts. I don’t think we listen to each other enough. I think people are scared to share what they really think for fear being judged or canceled.
Share your thoughts. Let others feel how they feel. They may be influenced to try your way. They may be steered in a opposite direction. That’s okay as well. We all have to cut one another some slack. We also need to be careful to not put folk on a pedestal.
There are so many bloggers I learned from and enjoy all the time. I marvel at their talent. I tell myself not to be intimidated by the talents of others. I have my own.
Keep on being you. The world means what all you can give us.

Note: Be encouraged. be sure to get it some me time today. I love you.
Note: We got this! Let’s make it happen. I have spent too many decades worrying about things that never happened. A big waste of time. None of us knows what our today will bring. None of us knows we are having tomorrow. All we can do is the best that we can today with every moment that we have.
I have been having to make do with less, or make do with nothing. as has been having to reimagine with the things that I have. I’m trying things I never would have in the past. I wish the hard wasn’t so hard. It is what it is. I shall keep on keeping on. Be encouraged. Things will work out in the end.
I have been fighting fear wherever I come across it. I have been finding it in my age. I have been finding it in my thoughts.
I am ruthless with fear now. I start throwing haymakers IMMEDIATELY.
It’s okay to be attempted to give fear leadership. Fear lies to you and can be awfully persuasive. Just don’t believe the hype. Deal with fear head on.
I grow every time I confront my fears and weaknesses. There is nothing wrong with not being strong in an area. We work on our weakness. We accept ourselves as we work on us.
None of us will ever be perfect. We CAN be decent people though. I choose to be a loving and decent person. A bit boring, perhaps, but decent!
My coffee says I am being rude. Join me if you’d like. I have decided to spend the day watching ridiculously predictable action movies. I need to see some winning.
You ARE doing your best, beloveds. Let your try be enough.
I never seem to FEEL like I am enough these past few months.
My try FEELS inadequate. My attempts SEEMS as though they are not looking. It LOOKS likes my dreams are not taking hold.
Things are NOT what they seem. We are exactly where we are supposed to be at this time in our lives.
Be encouraged. Enjoy your today. I spent a delightful Sunday yakking with fam and a friend. I then followed up with a ridiculously predictable action movie. Tell me WHY beloveds, nobody can seem to shoot the good guys? Why does the good guy NEVER miss?! Why are folk forever jumping on motorcycles when they are going chased by black SUVs?🤣😳
The damsel was rescued by the man. Of course. The poor woman was helpless and grateful. Of course. Don’t get me started on stereotypes today.
I think I shall go find some chocolate donuts to rescue from their encampment and free some coffee as well. Who wants to be my sidekick?🥰😎🤣
