My heart is opening. The more I declutter outside and inside, the more ideas are flowing. I want. I want. I want. To love. To live. To breathe. Deeply. Fully. Pain free. Fear free.
I don’t want a sabbatical from life. I just need a bit of rest. My soul was tired. Deeply tired of bearing weights never meant to be born by me. No wonder I was sooooooooooooooooo earthly tired.
I am tired. Still. Yet, my heart rejoices. She, feels. She, loves. She, cares.
Now, though, she is in need, of care.
I am speaking up, now.
I am allowing my heart to speak, now.
I am asking for heart care, now.
Now, though, I am presenting myself to those who actually care. For those who continue to care less, I now care less if they don’t care more, for me.
Folks who dismiss the awesomeness called me, are now dismissed, from me. I don’t waste a second, trying to convince folk, the world that I am worth loving.
I am worth loving.
Why?
Why, because I am…*shrug*. More than enough.
I am looking forward to a bit of rest. Even now, I give myself time, just for me, of an evening. After I have given, my all, I step back, step off and breathe. Ah.
Speaking of which, beloveds, it’s about that time. I have some slightly burnt chocolate chip cookies, to eat. Don’t ask. Smh. Am sure they will show up in a post soon.
In the meantime, take a breath. Step back. Step off and breathe.
Take real good care of you. I am going to take some PTO and sleep in tomorrow. How delicious?!
Be encouraged.
You are loved.
You are not alone.
Keep on being…YOU.
Cassandra
