The silence was loud today.

The silence was loud today. It was jealous, in fact. It wanted me for itself.

The silence chastised me all day. It asked me why I was so silent. It asked me why I was not questioning things.

I’ve been craving the stillness. Life has been so loud the past two years. I wanted to bask in the quiet. I wanted to see what the quiet has to say to me. Too much is lost in the noise.

Yet the silence began to yell at me. It asked me to move. It challenges me to move forward.

The silence is loud today. I’m trying to listen. I’m trying to learn from it.

I just stopped by to encourage someone today. Starting with me. Life is what we make it. Still so much of us. Use the noise to keep us distracted from living a real, full and honest life.

We often feel lacking. We have often been made to feel as though we are lacking in something. In some form or fashion. I created this blog as a safe place to let people know that they were loved and not alone. I wanted people to know that it’s OK to be still in silent.

I spent my birthday in silence. It was really nice. I let my heart breathe. I let my soul stop moving about. I let my heart feel whatever it wanted to feel. In the stillness. In the silence. I’m gonna try to do that everyday for the rest of my life.

I wonder where life will take me. I’m gonna do my best to enjoy the journey every step of the way. I’m sitting here drinking my coffee and listening to the silence. She is loud today…

still,
Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: After the tornado, I was so angry at God for not letting me move forward and start working right away. I’m so glad he didn’t listen to me. I was so tired. I needed the rest. I have been working myself into the ground for decades. I was doing a disservice to myself.

If you are like me and working yourself into the ground, I urge you to stop. You only have one life to live. Living it so exhausted you can barely scrape yourself out of bed. It’s helping no one.

Perhaps you as well need to listen to the silence. What is yours saying to you? If no one has told you yet today, I love you and care about your life.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!
