Tell him to go on ahead and kick rocks!
Ha!
That being said, beloveds, I can freely admit to ALMOST sorta kinda wanting to listen to ‘too’ and allow myself to be a whole bunch of toos:
Too tired, to fight.
Too discouraged, to stay optimistic.
Too dismayed, to remain understanding of life’s unexpected twists and turns.
Too afraid, to keep asking myself for what I really want because I already know the answer which will cost me too much to pursue.
Told all those toos to go on head and kick some rocks.
I did allow myself to give myself one retort:
Too bad!
Get up, Jaybird!
Keep going!
Keep moving!
Keep believing.
Start again, again!
The boogie man popped from under the bed.
Meow, I said. Boogie man high tailed it and took all those toos with him.
Too bad, dummies. There is simply too much God, too much Life, too much love, too much life, too many words, too little time for me to give up. So many have given up on me, in my lifetime. Too many, to count. I can’t give up on me, too.
I had a super short talk with God tonight. Just told Him I need Him to add His Seasoning to all this fresh hell going on.
He said I was too important for Him not to. He sprinkled peace upon my tired soul. He gently shook out some comfort on my wounded spirit. He seasoned my heart with the most precious gift He could think to give: His Tears.
He said He would be My Comfort and My Comforter. He ate double chocolate chip cookies with me. He drank entirely too much coffee with me. He watched Picard with me and belly laughed as we both shouted ‘Make it so!’
He fights the night with me, still. In fact, we are currently arguing over watching another chick flick or dude movie. Don’t tell but I think He is a bigger romantic than me!
What do you do when the boogie man shows up?
You tell me.
moving still,
Cassandra

That reminder to stop trying to prove ourselves and just set down the weight of guilt is so deeply comforting.…
I really enjoyed this, so true and made me smile.

Why Can't I Be Loud?! 
Wombie,
You never cease to amaze me. I am strengthened by your braverry. This pleases me. You got this, sis. You’ve got this. I am so very proud of you. I’ve got your back.
The boogie man came for me a while ago. Is trying to intimidate me right now, in fact. He can go to hell. This shit is too easy. I laugh.
Hang in there, wombie. This is bad as it’s going to get. It is always the darkest before dawn. But soon, so very soon, the dawn will come. Then there will be joy in the morning. Hold on, sis. I am sitting beside you in your darkness. Holding your hand in my heart. I will not let you go. I’ve got you covered by my love. You are my wombie, you know. I will never give up on you. Never. I love you.
I fight alongside you. We are in this battle together. Two hearts. One mind. You do not do battle alone. I am beside you. I’ve got your back. And the Father does, too. Your posse is coming, sis. It’s on its way. You’ll have your sabbatical. What’s chasing you with the IRS is nothing but a phantom. It is of no consequence. The Lord is your Source. Only believe.
The race is almost over. The finish line is in sight. Keep running toward the Light. You got this.
I love you.
Cassie
