P.S. I have added a ton of motivation, love, humor, music etc to the Abba Playlist. I update it frequently with all kinds of videos etc to keep you company. Let me know what you want to see there.

Help me be loud:
Be encouraged, beloveds. I love you.
Beloveds,
Just stopped by to encourage someone. Starting with me.
My heart is still. Quiet. Oddly, so. I don’t know if grief is waiting to pounce from it’s hiding place…* sigh *
Pain and this virus is keeping me company these last days.
How are you, doing? How’s your heart?
Please reach out for support. For, love. For, hugs…
Can a sista get some care today.
asking for myself,

JOY DOES NOT HAVE TO EXPLAIN ITSELF
Beloveds,
I would like to file a complaint against the idea that everything enjoyable must also be productive.
🤣
Sometimes I want the movie.
Sometimes I want the music.
Sometimes I want the joke that makes absolutely no contribution to civilization.
Sometimes I want to laugh until whatever was heavy five minutes ago has to wait its turn.
Joy is not evidence that pain was exaggerated.
Laughter is not betrayal of grief.
Pleasure is not proof that recovery is finished.
A hard life can contain a ridiculous Tuesday.
A grieving person can laugh.
A disabled person can have fun.
A believer can enjoy something without turning it into a sermon.
Ecclesiastes 3:4 says there is “A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.” KJV
I am taking the whole verse.
💃🏿
If you do not share my faith, I still hope you give yourself permission to experience joy without cross-examining it.
🔑 Joy does not always need a reason.
Sometimes the key is simply opening the door when it knocks.
You matter to me.
What made you laugh lately that had absolutely no deeper meaning?
Asking for A Friend,
Cassandra

HELP ME WITHOUT DISAPPEARING ME

HELP ME WITHOUT DISAPPEARING ME
Beloveds,
Help is supposed to help.
That sounds obvious until help quietly becomes control.
Sometimes people love us and still reach past our agency.
They decide because deciding seems faster.
They speak because waiting feels uncomfortable.
They move the chair, change the plan, finish the sentence, or solve the problem without asking.
Good intentions do not automatically create good impact.
I can need help and still need choice.
I can receive assistance and still be the authority on my own life.
I can be grateful and still say, “Please ask me first.”
Galatians 6:2 says, “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” KJV
Notice that bearing a burden does not require taking possession of the person carrying it.
For me, love and agency have to be able to sit at the same table.
For those who do not share my faith, the principle still stands:
Care should make room for the cared-for person.
🔑 Ask before assuming.
🔑 Assist without erasing.
🔑 Listen long enough to learn what help actually means.
You matter to me.
See my difference.
Do not make my difference all you see.
Asking for A Friend,
Cassandra

Linda Ronstadt – Goodbye My Friend (Official Visualizer)
REST IN HEAVEN, big bro…
Big bro,
I got it from here. Say hello to wombie for me. Hey, mom, dad, Earlene,… YIKES the list is really long.
I’m praying for all who need comfort for any reason. Be encouraged.
broken hearted 💔 but not broken,
Cassandra
Help me be loud:
Real talk, beloveds. This hurts.
These two images breaks my heart.
The WHATCHA DOIN image wombie and I sent each other as bat signals when wanting just to yak. Nothing wrong but needing to hear each other’s voice.
The second is image I plan to use for Cassies’ Corner a series I plan to start, in her honor, sharing twin stories folk may enjoy.
Hearing my big brother passed away yesterday afternoon has left me speechless.
Too shocked to be shocked
Whew.
Whew!
WHEW!
For all who are going through it, I gotcha and gotchu and God has us all. Will be spreading love today…* sigh *
Ah, God What on earth do we do with us now?
Asking for many friends.

MY VOICE DOES NOT HAVE TO SOUND LIKE BEFORE TO BELONG TO ME
Beloveds,
A changed voice is still a voice.
That sentence is simple.
Living it is not.
When the way you communicate changes, people can become impatient.
They can finish for you.
They can misunderstand you.
They can listen to the difficulty instead of listening to the person.
And sometimes you can do the same thing to yourself.
I am learning not to make fluency the admission price for being heard.
My speech can take longer.
My words can arrive differently.
My voice can tire.
And I am still speaking.
Psalm 19:14 says, “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.” KJV
I believe God hears more than polish.
I believe He knows the meditation of my heart even when my mouth has to fight for the sentence.
If faith is not your language, hear this part clearly anyway:
You deserve enough time to communicate.
You deserve not to be disappeared because communication takes effort.
🔑 The key is not sounding like everybody else.
The key is being allowed to sound like yourself.
You matter to me.
And if somebody needs a little longer to say what they mean today, give them the dignity of the whole sentence.
Asking for A Friend,
Cassandra
