Put your love out into the universe.

The world needs the love that you have inside. The world needs you. The world needs what you have. The world needs what you are.

I have been praying for you and asking God to help you to continue to be you. I have been asking a life to open its doors to you. I have been asking The Universe to cash in your bounty.

Your life is more precious than you will ever know or understand. I have been up all night praying for you. I have been asking God in life to show you the way. Oo show you your path. To help you get there.

I don’t know what life has in store for you. I pray that your day and your year be filled with fantastic blessings. I asked for your path to be made straight. I asked for your ears to be open so that you can hear where you need to go. I ask that your eyes open so that you can see how to make your dreams come true for your life.

Be encouraged this day. This is an amazing day. This day was made for you and I to enjoy. I plan on enjoying my day. Please enjoy yours.

Keep putting in the work.

I’m putting in work.

I have spent hours working on my dreams.

I have been studying. I have been writing 📝. I have been daydreaming.

I have been putting ACTION to my hopes, my dreams, and my try.

Life is short, beloveds. Keep putting in the work. The outcome of that work is not our work/problem.

Then, after you have put in the days work rest!

We got this. We really do.

Hey Rob!

Hey Rob!

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.

Filling the other half:Maghihintay Ako

I looooove this song.

I don’t understand a word she is saying. Yet, my heart understands!

Ah, beloveds, isn’t amazing that love can be communicated in words we can’t understand? Our hearts can know!

Beautiful! I often set this song to repeat over and over and minister love to the depths of my heart.

I have other music from The Philippines, from Japan etcetera where I have not the first clue what is being said. Still, the love conveyed in their songs are such a balm to the soul.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. If there are any Phillipines friends around, can you let me know what she is saying? Asking for a friend(me)🥰❤😁😎

If no one has told you today: I love you. Be encouraged. Have a wonderful rest of your day.

One step away.

One step away.

From a miracle.

From a breakthrough.

From success.

From life-changing love.

From a life-altering exchange.

From a dream long held.

One step away?

I have no idea. Neither do you. I’m going to find out. I suggest you do the same.

Note: Keep going. You are on the right track! It’s important to remind yourself where you ARE. Don’t get discouraged over where you think you SHOULD be. Tell should to go kick some rocks, beloveds. There will ALWAYS be someone telling you what you should be doing. Don’t add yourself to that list.

You are doing your best. Let your best be enough. It is. You are growing. Yes, the long wait gets terribly old.

I wish I were holding my dreams in my hands right now. I am partially. I’m doing my best to be content with the partial. Geeeeeeeez, God. MUST You be sooooooooooooo slow? Asking for many friends.

Uprooted: Preparation.

I love, love, love watching Japanese cooking channels!

I love how the owners of the little shops get up super early to prepare for the day.

Chopping vegetables.

Making homemade noodles.

Scrubbing down tables.

Preparing fresh grease for tempura.

Cutting up meat for various meals.

Preparing soup for udon 🍜 noodles.

I realize it takes quite a long time just to get one meal prepared. We sit down for a meal and want it quick, fast and in a hurry.

How often, beloveds, do we take into consideration how long it takes to prepare a meal? I know I don’t think too much on that. I just want my food. Hot. Well prepared. Right now!

The last few years have been teaching me that preparation takes an awfully long time. I’m trying to be good with that. I’m better. Still, there are times when I wanna tell life to just hurry up already and get me my plate.

I want to be there already. I want to be experiencing the change already. I want..

Hang in there beloved. We are being prepared for greatness. Do you have been uprooted so that we can be planted in larger soil. We have outgrown where we were. We are being prepared for where we have yet to go. In the meantime, hold fast.

Don’t give up. Not just yet.

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Bing uprooted has been a pain in the hoo-hah. It has been inconvenient. It has been no fun. Not for one second. I was not ready for the upheaval. Damn it, I was just not ready!

Still hard times came anyway. I will be so grateful when I can speak of these moments in the past tense. I have gone through truly difficult things before. I will find my way through this. fresh hell!

I am praying for all of us. I am hopeful some of us will make our way to our dream soon. Maybe it will be you. Maybe it may be me. One can hope. I hope. I hope for you.

Show yourself some love.

I love, love, loooooove this song! I AM a bad mama jamma!

I love the song because it reminds me of how AWESOME I am!

Yaaaasssssss!

I sing it to myself and soak up the awesome way it makes me feel about ME. Not because of thinking of some man admiring my wonderful self.

The point is really not about some man ogling a good-looking woman. It’s more about walking comfortably in your skin. To me, anyway.

I’ve never had an ogling. I had to learn ogle myself…hahahahahahahaha!

All kidding aside, it’s important to affirm oneself. ALL of ourselves. The big me. The getting old me. The broke me. The what in fresh hell is THIS part of me. She be a bad mamma jamma!

Be sure to show yourself some love today. Be sure to affirm yourself today. Be sure to show yourself some grace today.

God’s Silence: Finding my voice.

Me: I finally understand!

God: Understand what?

Me: WHY You have ALWAYS remained silent through the most frustrating/hard/maddening times of my life.

God: Why, beloved?

Me: Your Silence forced me to question.

God: Question what?

Me: You. Me. You, again. Me, again.

God: What did My Silence force you to question?

Me: Your Love. For ME. And, whether you loved me at all. And, whether I was worthy of Your or anyone else’s love.

God: Ah.

Me: Your Silence also forced me to…

God: To what?

Me: I don’t know, really. I just know Your Silence had me getting awfully loud demanding Life, The Universe, my try, You, my circumstances, my situations to turn loose my dreams.

God: Good! Keep going.

Me: K.

I have been finding my voice. It has not been easy. It has not been pleasant listening to what she has had to say to me. I have had to apologize for dismissing her voice. For dismissing MY voice.

If you are going through a period of silence just now, maybe, you are being asked to find your own voice. If so, speak up. Your words matter. As do you. Let’s use our voices together.

in there with you,

Cassandra
