Empty yourself, beloveds, of the fear that you carry so that you may have/be an empty vessel that can be filled, fully, with:
Love.
Hope.
Joy.
Laughter.
Faith.
Integrity.
Tenacity.
Compassion.
And a million other things you will need in order to make your way, SUCCESSFULLY, through the rest of your life.
I would be a billionaire if I had a nickel for every time I have heard how the glass is “hall full” or “half empty”.
No one talks about filling the glass all the way up. Until now. Until me…lol.
It’s time for us to empty ourselves so we can begin to be refilled with all those things that grow and prosper us and all in our path.
Unfortunately, we all have allowed ourselves to be filled with all types of foolishness. What’s worse, WE have filled ourselves with such nonsense with the utter lies we have been telling ourselves ABOUT ourselves.
Enough of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s time for us to empty ourselves from all the things holding us back.
Kettle told me to shut up, stop stressing and wait.
Wait said “Yea, chillax Cassandra! This is EXACTLY why you are all stressed out!.”
Nosey got all up in the business and called instigator so they could laugh at my anxt.
Next grew annoyed over being woken up and told everyone to shut it already!
Kettle, now annoyed, FINALLY howled it’s displeasure.
Steam, now also mad, spew all over every which way.
I didn’t care. I wanted coffee.
I demanded for spoon to get to work spooning my coffee, cream and sugar into my coffee cup.
Coffee cup tried to let me know it’s not very smart to get smart and demanding with spoon. No telling what spoon may do.
*Foreboding and forewarning music starts to play.*
Undaunted, I told spoon to hurry up already.
A few minutes later…
Coffee presented itself to me. Annoyed, I snatched lid and huffing whacked it on my cup. Lid AND cup snorted in outrage. Spoon told lid and cup not to worry and quietly said “hehehe” where only lid and cup could hear…
*Cassandra takes a sip of coffee*
Hhmmmm.
Hhmmm?
*Cassandra wonders why the coffee tastes weird*
*Cassandra peels lid of coffee cup and wonders why the coffee looks so darned light?!*
Oppps.
*Cassandra, being a tad stressed, accidentally forgets to add coffee to the cream and sugar*
*Cassandra decides to cut herself some slack. Cassandra apologies to cup and lid and pitifully asks spoon to make some coffee.*
LOL.
Unfortunately, a true story. Just thought I would send a smile your way, beloveds.
Don’t allow stress to stress you. Make the most of things and keep it moving.
Keep going. Keep trying. None of us can know the outcome of our try.
Be encouraged.

#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: You are worthy. You are worth it. You are worthwhile.
I hope you are okay. I am thankful for you. I have enjoyed your comments, your humor, and your CARE. I look forward to more emails! I owe you on or two…*delicious shiver*.
There are several folk, like Shannon, that I would like to call out and say thanks but afraid they will go into hiding. I have been praying for and thinking about Shannon every since she commented the other day. I want to ask her how she is doing. I want to tell her that I wish I could take the hard out of life for her. If she happens by, beloveds, let her know she is loved and appreciated.
There are a few folk who regularly stop by and wink as they scroll through. You know who you are. You are selfless. You are giving. You don’t force yourself on others. Yet, you are persons of integrity and you care. You think your efforts have not been seen. They have been.
I thank everyone who has stopped by. Every heart is important to me. I wish I had enough money to pay every bill, to lighten every load.
I can’t do that. I can pray. I do. I can sing terrible love songs to and about you. I do. I can tell you awfully corny jokes in the middle of the night. I do.
Ah, beloveds. Be encouraged. Keep looking UP. Keep moving FORWARD.
Be sure and work on your dreams today. Be sure to love on you today. Take care of that beautiful soul of yours.
Why Can't I Be Loud?!
