Try, even when it’s trying!

Try, even when it’s trying! You CAN. You WILL. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHJI_g3xHLa/?igsh=MnBhZTR6ZzRoNG5u

I feel like a complete idiot.


I’m having a blast, though! I’m learning how to add music. I’m sure I will either be too loud or it will be too low. So what? I won’t know unless I DO.


In the past, beloveds, I would never do until I did things perfectly. I wanted to get things “right” first. Smh.
Now, I just do and put my results out there. I am NOT my results. My mistakes do NOT make ME a mistake!


I used to judge myself, harshly, by my results. Or, lack thereof.


Results vary. Try not to base your worth, your value, or on your perceptions of your performance.


I am looking forward to posting today’s catastrophe, er, video  results. I do so, in part, to may, perhaps, hopefully, giving someone else the courage to put their results out there.

Don’t be swayed, but what other folks think of your results. They are viewing things through THEIR lens. Our job is to DO. Period. We leave the results with God/Life/The Universe.


Keep trying, even when it’s trying!

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Turn it into something good.

I’m angry.

I wanted to tell the 🌎 world to go…uh-oh!

I didn’t.

I turned it into something good:

I wrote.

I prayed.

I promised myself that I would keep trying.

I made pudding. I whipped said pudding. Poor pudding.

Anger wanted to turn into apathy. Both lazy and later said “to hell with that” and ran off to get act right.

Act right came storming in and sat me down in front of my try. My try asked me to be patient. I told try that I would keep trying…shhoooooot!

I am not going to list all the awful 📰 news I saw today. I am genuinely 😡 angry. Taking 1 billion 💵 dollars away from feeding young people and school lunch programs has me furious and horrified.

Listening to an Idaho school teacher who is fighting to keep up a sign that says “Everyone is welcome” because the school district says “not everyone agrees with that”, because the sign included children’s hands, of all colors, has me heartbroken that schools are actively teaching students to see folk of color as less than and not welcome.

Ah, beloveds, what are we all doing? How can this be?

I do my utmost to keep this page uplifting and light. I’m over my mad now. I gave myself a good couple hours to be mad.

Now, I shine my light. Be encouraged, all. Love as many folks as you can. Lift up as many hearts as you can.

Keep pursuing your dreams. Work on them today. Even if just for a few minutes. Do ONE thing that will take you closer to your 🥅 goal.

The morning was terribly frustrating 😤. I used the frustration to my benefit.

Promise YOU that you will NEVER allow bad/sad news to make you turn away and run from folk. Promise yourself you will NEVER allow these things to cause you to give up.

Keep looking UP. Keep standing ten toes down on FAITH. This, too, shall pass.

Enjoy you!

I may be 56 but I’m still 25 at heart!

Enjoy yourself. In whatever state you may find yourself.

Take some time out of your day. Just enjoy the day. You don’t have to learn every single second. Do something just because. Take a long nap. Take the day off. Take the time to do you.

Have a wonderful day.

Note: I’m tired today. I think I will shut it down early. I think that will pop some popcorn and watch movies. I have been working hard since 4:00 o’clock this morning. Tired was getting really tired. I think I will save the world tomorrow.

Give yourself permission to leave the world saving to others for a day.

One step.

What purpose does it serve? What good will it do?

Apathy: What purpose does it serve?

Doubt: What good will it do?

Me: I’m going to find out.

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: 514 days. Consecutively. Encouraging folk. Asking for folk to give a damn. The Bible says, “Let us not grow weary, in well doing, for in due season, we shall reap, IF we faint not.”

What purpose have I served? What good have I done? Who cares, right?

I have been watching a movie where there is this guy who has been fighting injustice for five years. Every time he gets close to winning, he loses. I’m damned tired of watching the bad guy win because nobody wants to give two damns enough to…*sigh*

I would dearly love to pack up my light…*sigh*.

If there is someone who gives two figs,  say something encouraging to the class. I am going to go finish the movie and hope the good guy wins.

We fight on. Fresh hell…

Be encouraged. Keep caring.

Just cuz.😁

Sometimes, you just need a good laugh.

This cracks me up EVERY time.

Back away from my coffee!

Have an amazing day. Look for the great in this day. Scrape out some joy. Scratch out some love and give it away.

LOL

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I have been working on wrangling positive food choices. I must admit Golden Grahams have been my downfall the past little while.

In the meantime, I am continuing to love me just as I am. Currently, though, there is a whole lotta more of me to love at the moment!

loving me still and always,
Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: You are more than your size, beloveds. You are more than your bank account. You are more than your features. You are more.

Love ALL of you. NOW. Appreciate you. I do. Cut yourself some slack. Keep being a light. Take care of your beautiful heart.

One step.

Make a difference by BEING the difference.

Beloveds, you ARE the difference!

Yes, YOU.

Tag, you’re it!

Love someone today. Starting with you.

Seizing it: Time to expand.

It’s time, beloveds.

Time to:

Expand our horizons.

Try new things.

Put away some old thinking.

Reach for the impossible.

Destroy negative thinking.

Walk away from unhealthy relationships.

Embrace the new.

Let go of ill conceived ideas.

Following the crowd.

Stop living via emotions alone.

Accept help.

Reject false narratives.

Beloveds, this is OUR lives. WE say what goes on within it.

It’s time to BLOOM where you are planted. This place is NOT an accident!

Get up, beloveds! Move! Get on with it!

I have determined March will be a month full of joy. I am not worrying about April. I may not make it there.

I truly am living as though today may be my last day.

What would you DO, beloveds, if you KNEW time was short? Would you be chasing what you are currently chasing?

Life IS short. Don’t wait until catastrophe comes calling.

I needed to have made moves long before the tornado visited. All I can do now is to move NOW. I can’t beat myself up for not moving because of my fears.

I’m no longer afraid. When fear comes to visit I get to throwing haymakers!

Do me one favor, beloveds. Take a bit of time TODAY and ask yourself:

Is THIS where you CHOOSE to be? If the answer is no get up and move someplace else!

You can do this, beloveds. You CAN. You WILL!

What are you focused on? If it’s on nothing other than making ends meet, set your sights higher!

You CAN do more. You MUST do more! My dreams may be mixed up in yours! Yours may be lost within mine. We will never know unless we try.

Let’s go!!

Start anyway! Here I come 2025…

Good evening beloveds!

I promised myself I would get some kind of motivational something or other started BEFORE 2025.

Hours later, and I mean hoooooooooouuuurrrrrrrrrs, beloveds, I have my FIRST partial, not very fantastic but what I have almost sorta kinda but not really figured out. It’s tastefully kind of cute in a weird she has NO idea what she is doing kind of way.

If you would like to laugh at me, er, support my FIRST effort, click on the link above. Hopefully, fingers crossed, it will open and you shall hear my old, never going to have nothing in life and no one will love you anyway voice…lol.

Be encouraged. Go for your dreams. My dreams are going to have to catch me. I have run ahead into tomorrow!

How about you?

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Have an amazing 2025. It’s not quite ten and I am about ten minutes from heading to bed. I am long past the age of waiting for midnight. 2025 will be there, hopefully, when I wake up.

I have spent a delicious day praying for each and every one of you. I have asked for some serious blessings to come your way. Until they arrive, LIVE, beloveds. Enjoy the life that you have. You are much farther than you think.

KNOW, of a surety, that you are loved and that you are NOT alone. You are more than what you do, what you have or where/how you live. Your life was worth the death of The King.

Walk confidently into each of your days. Determine this was the LAST day you are going to stand on fear/doubt and all the other naysaying emotions meant to keep you from pursuing all the things that sets your very soul on fire.

Be sure to get some me time in there, somewhere. Take joy with you EVERY where you go. If you found the courage to look at my first attempt, maybe you will make a first attempt at/towards a dream that appears to be much toooooooooooooooooooooooo large for you to fulfill/have/produce.

You got this. God has us all. He even has ALL the unbelievers. How fantastic is that??!

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!
