Waiting for the spatula.

I looooove food. Love it!…*hugs self*

I think I love it, more because of watching mom cook. Watching her, learning from her, laughing with her, as she tried chicken, baked awesome pies, prepared mouthwatering cakes!…*hugs self*

I especially loved cake baking times. The smells. The sounds of batter being whipped furiously within the mixing bowl.

I listened to the whisking sound, day dreamed of the scrumptious cake to come.

ALL the while, hovering near, hoping, daring to dream, of the moment when mom would expertly pour the creamy, golden batter into the pan I had proudly been allowed to prepare by coating in flour and EXPERTLY patting the extra flour away…*hugs self*

It was ONLY then that mom would scrape the bowl, with her well worn spatula, leaving just enough batter, on the spatula, for a tantalizing taste of cake.

NOTHING compared with her handing us the spatula, with a smile, as we slowly licked that spatula clean!

Surely, she gave more then the spatula should have held. Why, she scraped EVERY last drop of batter, from the mixing bowl.

The spatula, though…!!πŸ’ƒ

I would dance around the room, with said spatula, acting as though I had won an Olympic Gold Medal.

I had won! Chosen to have the spatula. I almost felt bad for he who came in second…*shakes head sadly*. They were left with the scraped clean bowl. Poor dears.

Those memories, those I hold close to my heart. The same way that I am holding on to yesterday, STILL, not wanting to turn loose my ‘spatula’ given me by mom(from heaven), God and Life.

The moments, even the terrifying flying down the mountain moments, have meant so much I can’t turn them loose.

Am licking each and every drop from this day, from these moments, from my heart, from God’s Heart, from Life’s Heartbeat as I can.

Although, I anticipate the coming ‘cake’ with gladness. I am enjoying the NOWness, of these moments. They shall NEVER come again, in this way.

Life is short, beloveds. Enjoy your moments. Relish your ‘spatula’. Enjoy the cake, when it arrives.

UNTIL your ‘cake’ comes:

Live.

Love.

Laugh.

Allow God and Life to Live, Love and Laugh with you.

Keep going.

Breakfast at midnight Part II

Yesterday was sooooo delicious I could NOT let it end. In fact, it was so delicious I HAD to extend it into today!

Just can’t let these moments go. Life is soooooo very short. I am squeezing EVERY moment to it’s limit.

Breakfast was so delish, well, just HAD to rinse/repeat…*hugs self*

Circumstances still working the last nerves. Situations trying to try me. The world forever doing it’s utmost to convince me that MY voice, MY TRY, MY particular personality, has no sway in this world.

HA! Kick rocks, I say back!

I shall:

Eat breakfast at midnight.

Drive through terrifying mountains.

Yield to NO situation, circumstances, the world.

HA! KICK ROCKS!!

I shall:

Be, loved.

Be, free.

Be, ME!

You do the same, wouldja please and thanks?

Your life matters, beloveds.

YOU matter.

Your life was worth the death of a King.

That’s what’s up!!!!πŸ˜ŽπŸ’ƒπŸ”₯

Keep going.

I go with you.

God and Life goes with and before us all.

Be encouraged.

Cassandra CARES

Breakfast at midnight.

I love bacon! FINALLY remembered to order bacon!

YYAAAAASSSSSSSS!

It was late. I had a satisfying Saturday. I had turned in, early, anticipating bacon, eggs, orange juice and coffee. Yummers!

I couldn’t sleep. Just couldn’t get bacon and eggs off my mind.

Bacon!

Eggs!

No work tomorrow!

Hhmmmmm.

Aha!

No work tomorrow sounds an awful lot like BREAKFAST AT MIDNIGHT to me.

BRB…*Cassandra heads for the kitchen, scrambled eggs, makes bacon, pours coffee….*

No time for yakking, beloveds. My bacon is getting cold.

Ponder this as I stuff my face:

The ONLY true limits we have are the limits we place on ourselves. We box ourselves in, close ourselves off, tell ourselves we can only do this and that during this time or with that person.

Or, we are too old, too young, too poor…yada yada. Enough!

Do you, boo. At, midnight. At, noon time. Whatever. Whenever. Do you. BE you.

Time we stop limiting ourselves, don’t you think?

Keep going. I go with you. I root for you.

We got this.

Breakfast at midnight, anyone?πŸ˜Žβ€πŸ‘€

  • Today…
    It’s been a day. Be encouraged . Cassandra Today was… *sigh* Whew!! It’s not the 2nd but still…

Feel the heat/fear. Do it anyway!

I have been wanting to go to the lake. Have heard how pretty it was. Have never been. Have been wanting to go for five years. Egads! Will get to him in a minute!

I was also starving. Hankering for some BK Original Chicken sandwiches.

Road trip!

Figured I would go to the lake, enjoy some peace, music and hang out time with God and Life.

We have been having an awful heat wave. The weather has been bad. For weeks. EVERY time I planned to go to the lake, something always came up. I was TIRED of using the heat, as an excuse. I needed to get out.

Last night, I  must admit to being a bit pitiful; alone, listening to coworkers discuss family bbq holiday plans.

I ALLOWED myself to be sad, lonely and pitiful, for a time. I find it sad that society tries to make folks feel sad about feeling, well sad, at times.

Especially, Christian folk. Good night, appears to be a crime to be a Christian with any type of feeling. Another subject for another day.

Anywho, let myself BE:

Lonely.

Lonely.

Lonely!

Woke, next day, and was done being lonely. Went about my afternoon, enjoying my solitude with God and Life. Decided to annoy my wombie and rang her up. Delicious!😎

So much so, I decided to try the lake experience.

*sinister music begins to play in the background. Foreshadowing!!πŸ‘€*

Snatching up water, snickers bar, purse, keys, adventurous spirit, I hopped in Cherry πŸš—, blasted my fave music and headed for beauty, lake-chilling, awesome music and hanging out with God and Life.

Full disclosure: I love mountains. Love, love love looking at them on television and on my scenic calendars. That said, I am absolutely TERRIFIED of mountain road driving. Especially the especially curvy, winding, what the hell is all this fresh hell, type windy roads.

*sinister music is up full blast about now. A terrifying monster have joined said sinister music just waiting for entrance….*sigh*πŸ‘€

So, of course, the 30 MINUTE DRIVE IS ALL WINDY, TWISTY, WHAT THE FRESH HELL IS ALL THIS TWISTY PRETZEL ON STEROIDS ROADS!!!!

OMG!!!

Geez!!

GEEZ!!

Oh, yea, yall I was introduced to Geez! today. Yall already know me and Yikes! and Egads! are tight.

30 minutes! I forgot to enjoy my music. Who can enjoy music hollering ‘Geez!’ at the top of one’s lungs, anyway!

GEEZ!!

GEEZUS!!!!😱

God: Why don’t you enjoy these beautiful mountains I made for you?

Me: Can’t You see?! I am trying not to die here!!

Yikes!: Yea, we a bit busy here. Egads!

Egads!: What in the fresh hell!!??

GEEZ!: Geez! Don’t folk know how to drive!? OMG! SLOW DOWN!!

Fast forward a horrifying 30 minutes, white knuckled, I pull up to an entrance, one mile from my destination, says Google Maps, and this tiny man, in shorts two sizes too big, rushes up and yells at me:

Tiny man: Hey! You almost went the wrong way! The ranger would give you an $1,800 ticket for going the wrong way!

Me: Sir, I have never been here before. I am not from around here.

Tiny man: I don’t care.

Tiny man storms off. I get ready to head towards the lake, a mile away. Terrified, still, I remind myself I will be seeing the lake, soon. I soooo looked forward to seeing it, in PERSON. I was tired of enjoying life in picture, in dreams.

I wanted, no NEEDED, to see the lake, in person. A reminder that my other dreams would soon be lived out, by me. I wouldn’t have to keep longing for them. Would hold them, in my hands.

Whilst daydreaming and waiting my turn, tiny man came tearing back to my car:

Tiny man: So, you know it costs $5 to enter, don’t you?

Me: I had no idea. That’s fine.

Tiny man: You know we only take cash, don’t you?

Me: I had no idea. I am not from here. I don’t carry cash. Will you accept my credit card?

Tiny man: No. Most folk are like you. They only use cards. You will have to turn around.

Me:πŸ™ƒπŸ’”πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

The next thoughts I had were not age appropriate, I must say.

It would be one thing, to have conquered my fears, and be rewarded with a pretty lake, quiet time and chillaxing.

Nope. ALL I had accomplished was a terrifying ride, only to be turned back, ONE mile, from my destination.

A metaphor for my life, this past little while.

I could have gotten angry with God and Life for not giving me the ‘heads up’. They KNOW my fears. They could have let me know what was around those terrifying bends. Rather, could have let a sista know the terrifying bends were coming, in the first place.

They could have told me to bring some cash.

Why did They remain silent?

To enjoy my terror?

No.

To take satisfaction in another experience falling short of my Hope’s, my expectations, my dreams?

No.

To take glee in me ‘wasting’ an afternoon?

No.

Why then? Will answer after describing the trip back.

OMG THE TRIP BACK!!

GEEZ!: MUST we talk about the trip back! OMG!!!!!

Me: We must…*sigh*

White knuckled, I turn around. This time, I tell myself I am going to do my best to enjoy the mountains, the gorgeous clouds, the sunshine, and return trip home.

I had to do the trip, anyway, may as well make the best of things, of the day.

It’s amazing how peaceful a winding mountain drive can be, minus screams of GEEZ! and OMG!s. I could actually hear the soothing music, enjoyed how the trees swayed this way and that. Seems like the trees were enjoying the music, the sun, the peace along with me and God and Life.

I forgot to be afraid.

I forgot my mad about being ONE mile from a five year’s daydream.

I forgot.

I lived.

Just LIVED.

The scary was no longer scary.

The scary became another precious moment.

A moment I will carry with me for the rest of my days.

Looooong after I have forgotten the initial terror, I will remember the MOMENT:

The drive.

The quiet.

The peace.

The knowledge I had faced more fears and LIVED, anyway.

It was the TRY, you see, God and Life were actually after. The lake was besides the point.

There will be other opportunities, to see the lake. At least, I hope there will be. One never knows. Life happens.

The moral of the tale, I guess, is to TRY. Just TRY. Get on out there. EXPERIENCE life. Don’t just survive it.

Don’t let the threat of ‘heat’ to keep you from getting out there and mixing it up with life.

Will I try again, tomorrow? Who knows.

I DO know, THIS TRY, has given me the confidence, the willingness, the drive to TRY something else.

God and Life had a different path and plan for my afternoon. Did it make mine unimportant? No, just meant they course corrected to another moment, to another journey. I learned more about me. I enjoyed the mountain drive. I enjoyed ME.😎

ALL we need to do, beloveds, is to TRY. That and make sure you have some cash on you, just in case! 😜🀣

Live. Love. Rejoice.

We got this.

God has us all.

I love you,

Cassandra ACCOMPLISHED

61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

Cassandra HERE

Real talk: EVERYONE needs a wombie.

I am a twin.

Yep, God thought what He made was so FANTASTIC, He told Life, ‘Man, I gotsa make me another one of that one!’

Boom!

Here I came!

YYYYYYAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!

Sis and I call each other ‘wombmates’. We be wombies, yall!!

Life had taken us, in opposite directions, for a long time. I mean. A looooooooooooong time.

Long story short, God and Life, saw fit to reconnect us……*hugs self*.

It took us a while, to get on some good footing. I fussed with her. She fussed with me. Slowly, I got to know here. Slowly, she let me get to know her.

I look forward to hearing from my wombie. It has gotten to be a ‘must have’ in my day. In fact, a good phone yak, with my wombie, is a must do, before evening’s final gasp. I would make a cup of my fave coffee, french vanilla, and dial the phone.

Wombie and I would gab about anything and everything. We adore yakking about our fave subject: Our Homie, Our Bestie, Our Everything. Yea, yall know His Name……..Jesus…..yasssss…..hey there, Lord. What You up to?

Anywho, would enjoy my coffee, enjoy yakking with my wombie, untlil the next time. Rinse and repeat.

Repeat and rinse.

One day, though, I was yakking with my wombie. Was enjoying her company so much, well, I forgot to make my coffee. Realized, her company was like a nice fresh cup of coffee…..*hugs self*. I blurted out ‘you are my coffee!’.

After that, I didn’t need a cup of joe to enjoy my wombie. I would much rather spend the time it took to make and drink it, yakking, laughing, fussing, hollering, crying, loving, and LIVING with my wombie.

My wombie be my Jesus with skin on. Of course, we always invite God and Life and Jesus to hang with us as we chop up the happenings of the day.

Yes, EVERYONE needs a wombie.

If you don’t have one, ask Jesus to be Your Wombie. Ask, God and Life to be Your Wombie.

Life much too short to be experienced and lived, alone.

If you are alone now, you don’t HAVE to be. ANY TIME you choose, you can have company.

God SEES you. God LOVES you. God CARES DEEPLY for your life. Invite Him to kick it with you.

I just wanted to say, in public, what I have known in private: My wombie, she be awesome, yall. She loves me. ALL of me. Warts and all. She listens to me. She lets me cry. She lets me rant. She lets me ponder. She lets me wonder.

In short, she has helped God and Life to make me a better me. I love her. With ALL my heart…..*Cassandra makes a memo to be sure to let her wombie know how she feels*.

Sis and I have made it a point to ALWAYS say ‘love you’ before we end our conversations. I hate to end them, but can’t wait for her ‘love you’. Love how she rolls the ‘l’!!!! Makes me feel extra special.

As I sit here, day dreaming, waiting for dreams that may or may not come, one thing I KNOW I already have is the love and care of my wombie. That love enough to carry me through to journey’s end. I love my other brothers and sisters. Yet, the relationship between twins is something different.

Wombie and I were talking, last night, and feeling a bit sad for those who didn’t have a close relationhip wiht someone they could laugh with, in the middle of the night. Anyone can take a call when convenient or bored. How many folks, do you have, that you can call literally in the middle of the night to talk about absolutely nothing with? You should try it. It is awesome!!!!!!

I am grateful, to my wombie. Grateful to my other close buds, yall know who you are, who call at hours and yak about everything, nothing and all that lies in between.

Life is short, beloveds. Love some folks, would you, please and thanks.

I love you.

God loves you.

Jesus adores you.

Let them.

His and yours,

Cassandra LOVED

P.S. Love you, wombie!
