NO, YOU ARE!

Beloveds, please, please, please STOP:

Judging yourself.

Rejecting yourself.

Ghosting yourself.

Dismissing yourself.

God says that you are:

Beloved.

Cherished.

Seen.

Heard.

Please, please, please STOP listening to  your haters. Haters, well, hate. Pray for them then keep it moving.

FORWARD.

ONWARD.

UUPWORD.

YUP!

Tell your story. We ARE listening. We really do care. We, Jesus and me, got you covered in love and prayer. 

Be encouraged.

I’D RATHER NOT!

Let us see what we see. Promise to leave the past in the past. Embrace THIS day.  For, it’s the only one we’ll get.

BON APPETIT.

Come. Dine with me. We’ve a meal prepared just for you, beloveds.

Let’s start off with a drink of unconditional love. Next, enjoy an aperitif of peace. God’s Heart has been marinating pure joy for you to enjoy 

Jesus stopped by, bringing the wine…hehe…thought that line quite clever, didn’t you.

The Universe showed up with appetizers: Prosperity.

Your entree was prepared with thanksgiving, with kindness, with  purpose and with great care. Thank Life for that contribution!

For dessert…hhhhhm. God told me you’d have to ask Him what He brought.

Come, beloveds, take your place at the table. You are welcome. You are wanted. Bring your neighbor. Bring a stranger. Bring whosoever will

You are my sista. You are my brotha.

Beloveds, can I holla atcha?

For the past few weeks, I have come across countless reports, videos and Tiktoks from those who are freely sharing hate for those who look like me.

I almost rushed here to lament about all the actual hate being directed to those who look like me. From those who don’t look like, talk like, believe like, or walk like me.

When I asked God what to do. God said:

“Love them. But, leave them to Me”.

That settled me. I have but these words:

You are my sista. You are my brotha. Simple as that. Love me. Hate me. Dismiss me. Ghost me. Don’t make me no never mind.

I got your back. Periodt and end of story.  I shall show up for you, on the daily. I love you and care about your life.

You matter to me So there! HA!

Tell haters HA! and love me back…lol

love from your big/little sis,
Cassandra

Real talk: When I don’t know what to do/say. 

I’m in a quandary. I don’t know what to say  or how to say it.

Lately, I’ve been having flashbacks of the day I had my stroke. I was laying on the floor, wriggling like a fish and yelling ” I’m coming” at the top of my lungs.

Turns out, I couldn’t speak and couldn’t do anything more than wriggle like a fish on a hook.

I honestly don’t know what to think or say. To, anyone. To, God. To, myself.

Should I be:

Angry.

Sad.

Frustrated 

Right now, I feel none of those. Maybe,  I secretly feel all of those…*sigh*.

I think I’ll go climb onto The Father’s Lap and be still…hhhm. Who wants to join me?

Celebrate even the smallest victories 

This morning, it only took me 45 minutes to put on my bra. This is huge for me. I can also now take care of my hygiene needs, if you can catch my meaning

It means the world to be able to use the restroom for myself. I can’t begin to make you understand how humbling it has been to need someone to take care of your bodily functions. Yay.

I am also starting Outpatient Therapy in a bit over two weeks. I get to learn how to do every day tasks so as to prepare for Supportes Living.  Yay! I’ll have my own apartment with staff available 24/7.

My goal is to improve enough to volunteer.  I would love to visit folks I hospital or Nursing home.

I’m looking forward to my dreams coming true. Just stopped by to encourage someone. Starting with me.

Be encouraged.  Celebrate your victories. Especially, the smaller ones.

Real talk: When loss is not loss

Mom passed away Christmas morning 2016. It will have been 10 years since she ran off and left us. Miss you, mom.

Mom collected teddy bears. She loved them. At her funeral, we decorated her casket with tons of teddy bears. Afterwards, we shared them with those who loved her. With those, who would miss her smile, her love, her throaty laugh,  her cooking, and everything that had made her “mom”.

For the funeral, one of my sisters and I  wore these ridiculous sweaters we knew would tickle mom to no end!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I say all that, beloveds, to say this:

Yes, losing hurts. Tremendously. It’s important to embrace the memories. Process. Grieve. Cry. Then, with thanksgivings, move forward, move on.

It feels good to enjoy thoughts of mom’s teddy bears. Ah, mom. I miss you. Rest in peace.

Real talk.  Loss is not always loss

loving mom still,
Cassandra
