Re-Inventing the Wheel!

Hi there! A lot of y’all know me and a sincere THANK YOU for liking my page and following me! Hopefully, there will be some sort of interest from those who don’t know me so let me introduce myself. I was born Cassandra Lira and grew up in North Fort Worth—particularly, the Diamond Hill area. I was raised by my dad who I thought hung the moon! I didn’t realize life outside my microcosm was so different than what I grew up with, however; as I grew older and my world expanded, I did realize that and, although I had my own struggles, I feel very blessed to have started out in an area so small and encapsulated, so to speak. I made lifelong friends along the way and have always had a passion for living life to the fullest. However, truth be told, that didn’t serve me well in my younger years. I abused my body and abused my soul. I have spent my more adult years making up for the sins of my youth, both internally and externally. In regards to my soul, life events have happened that lead me to believe without a doubt of His presence and His hand that led me out of some potentially horrible situations. I have witnessed His grace in my life more times than I can count. Two big ones are my children. One born to a fifteen-year-old girl, and the other born within the confines of an unhappy marriage. Regardless of how they came into this world, both are my most precious joys! And to top it off, I have two grandchildren, who are icing on that already wonderful cake! I later remarried a wonderful man and, although we did have some issues, there was a deep love that was palpable. I thought my life was finally on track and the wheels were taken off my bus. I lost my sister, my husband and one of my best friends, all within the course of a three-year span. All things considered, I could have turned my back on God, and no one would have blamed me. However, I dug deeper. I went in—in my hurt, in my despair, I unpacked it all and gave it to Him. He has since led me to a group of Christian women who have become my armor in times of need, He sent an amazing man that has led to a love that I never imagined experiencing again, and together we have cultivated a life that is led by our faith in God and our love and commitment to grow spiritually together. God’s glory is in every bit of that!

As of now, my interests that I’d like to share cover a wide array of things! We’re talking health, fitness, MENOPAUSE, life changes, renewing, growth, and much, much more! I’ll share stories from my life that have caused pain, reflection, and ultimately freedom. So, grab some coffee and let’s build a bridge…

Share your stories! Where have you seen God in your life? Or how have you grown out of your past?
