I wish for us all:
A hand held.
A shoulder squeezed.
A heart mended.
Fences tended.
I wish for us all:
Love abounding.
Life ever lasting.
Lasting love.
I wish for us all:
An end to all war.
A beginning of peace.
A unites front.
I wish for us all…

You have done your work.
You have asked in faith.
You have dared.
You have given your all.
You have tried.
You have battled fatigue.
You have walked while tired.
You have fought the good fight.
Now, beloveds, it’s time to let your work do the work.
Breathe.
Rest.
Wait patiently.
Enjoy the process.
Get your mind renewed.
Climb on The Father’s Lap. If you don’t know Him, climb on up there anyway and introduce yourself. He shall welcome you as any dear Dad does and will.
waiting patiently with you,

If you have wandered into this blog, beloved, it is NOT by accident. It’s a lifetime in the making.
If you are reading these words, you ARE:
A mountain mover.
A life changer.
A force to be reckoned with.
You are also:
Exhausted.
Tired.
Why?
Because you are a constant giver who has never been given permission to rest and receive.
You are ALWAYS the one:
Holding the door 🚪 open for others to pass through.
Giving up your place in line for others to enjoy the blessing.
Handing over your wins so others can receive the acknowledgement and financial rewards.
Putting aside your dreams so others…
Um, beloveds, did you catch the pattern here?🤔
One of the main reasons for MY why is to tap you on the shoulder to get you to ask you about WHY you are doing this to yourself.
Why?
So you can stop doing this to yourself.
Why?
Your heart is just as important as those you hold the door for.
Here, in this space, I just want you to:
Rest.
Laugh.
Forgive yourself.
Give yourself permission to feel.
Give yourself permission to call yourself a moron when you have acted like a moron.
Laugh at yourself.
Cut yourself some slack.
Feel free to share your thoughts with folk as it may help them share some thoughts.
Grow. Or not.
Be weird. Or not.
Cry.
Wonder.
Rant with me.
Laugh at me.
Love yourself.
Love others.
Love no one.
And KNOW it’s okay to be all this, some of this or none of this.
Rest here. This space has been 30 plus years in the making.
Where do I get MY rest, you ask? Awww, thanks for asking:
On The Father’s Lap.
Here, sharing with you dumb thoughts.
Music.
The Bible.
Kicking it with My Bestie Jesus.
Yakking with my wombie(twin sis).
Yakking with my big bro and sis.
Daily ☕ coffee yaks with mom who is in heaven now. I miss her physically here but learning to love her this way. Still miss her. Love you mom.
I have told God I would enjoy having someone who reaches out to ME on the daily. Someone wo is invested in ME. Someone who enjoys thinking of my weird who can’t wait to be with me.
Until then, I shall continue to invest my love in as many hearts as I can get my words to.
Rest here. You are welcome. Invite some friends. Make some friends.
here as best I can be,
Cassandra

Thankfully, God loves dummies and dopes.
Why?
Because I have been both!🤣
Why?
💵 problems.
More 💵 problems.
Then, there has been more 💵 problems on top of the other money problems.
Other than that, life has been just 🍑 peachy.😳😵💫🤯😭🥵🙏🤷♀️
I am learning how not to be tooooooooooooooo much of a dummy and dope as I continue to embrace ALL the hard.
This time WILL pass. A new set of hard will take it’s place.😵💫♥️😳😭🤣😆
Be encouraged. Crawl onto The Father’s Lap and let Him know when you are:
Worried.
Afraid.
Angry.
Doubting.
Tired.
Hurt.
Troubled.
Bored.
Annoyed.
Frustrated.
Even if HE is, to you, the source of those things. He can take it.
If you don’t have a close relationship. Or, no relationship…🤷♀️…climb on up there, introduce yourself and let Him have it. He can take it.
Today, I climbed up with chicken strips and tater tots. He enjoyed the tater tots the most. I made them extra crunchy. 🥰
Be encouraged.
Things will be alright. Until they are, enjoy the rest that’s semi okay. Okay?

Yikes!
*Cassandra rereads pieces written while troubled and half asleep and promises to NEVER write another piece whilst troubled and half asleep.*
Sheeesh!
Yikes!
😳😳😁🤣🥰
Cassandra
Note: Be sure and get enough rest. Also, stop troubling yourself about the troubles that are troubling you. Give your troubles to God and go to sleep. He needs no sleep. He fights for us. He works things for our good. Rest now…
One step.
One step.

I am satisfied.
I have spent a delightful six hours, I think, writing pieces and daydreaming about making my dreams come true. In real time. Here. Now. From here. From now.
Ah. Aha! I am living, beloveds. Here. Now. In this limited space. With my limited resources.
Knowing, God is with me.
Believing, The Universe is working with me.
Receiving, Life moving with/in me.
Ah.
Aha!
It’s time to rest now. I have kept my promise to myself.
What shall the outcome be of my triy? I have no idea. That’s not my problem. I have done my work. I have done my try. The rest is not up to me.
I no longer stress out about the outcome. I no longer worry if my try is enough. Okay, I still do that. However, I understand it is not up to me.
Having done my work, I am ready to see what Doritos are up to…….hahahaha!
What dreams are you building, beloveds? Let me hear from you.
Take care of your heart for me. It’s much too precious to ignore. As are you. Asking for A Friend.
here,

Who is this?
Who is she?
Wo are you, I ask?
This me.
Staring back at me.
She is old now.
Was she ever young?
Who are you, I ask?
Who AM I, she wonders back.
Who am I, I wonder?
As I blunder.
Making my way.
MY way.
Through this vast thing called life.
There are days I know.
Other days, I know not.
I know not what, or who, or why, or how this me came to be.
Who is this me that I see staring back at me?
God knows.
He’s not tellin’. Says that I have to figure me out.
Crap.
figuring me out,
Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: Words woke me up. They always do. Hurry, they said. Hurry! I hurried. The only problem, beloveds, is I rarely, if ever, know what they are going to say.
This is what came into being. This. These words. Yet, another iteration of…me.
Who is this me that I see staring back at me?
Ah.
Aha!
Keep allowing your dreams to wake you up. Demanding. Asking. Showing you…YOU!
One step.
One step.

You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
Me: For real?
God: For real.
Me: For real?!
God: For real.
Me: Wow!
Life: What He say?! What did He say?!
The Universe: *whispers to Life*.
Life: For real?
The Universe: For real.
Life: Wow.
The Universe: I know.
Huh?
You wanna know what He, what God, told me this morning? He tells me this every morning. And, EVERY morning, it just blows what’s left of my tired, sometimes disbelieving mind.
Huh? Whatcha say? You want to know, to hear what He tells me, EVERY day?
K:
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Yep, blows my mind, beloveds, EVERY day. It’s why, I must tell you, on the daily, on the regular that you are loved and not alone.
How amazing is that!!!!!!!??????
*hugs self*
*hugs the whole of the world*
I so wish more folks knew how much they were loved. Ah, that I could tell the whole of the world. Since, I can’t yet reach them all, how about you help me out, eh, beloveds?
Keep on being you, would you please and thanks. Asking for A Friend.
