So its been a long time...

So its been a long time since I came around
Nothing familiar to be found
Except the faces, but they all have changed
And nothing looks quite the same

- Song by me in progress

So as usual, I haven't posted anything in a really long time.

Just a brief summary of what's going on with me in my super adventurous life:

I'm entering the Maurice's Main Street Model contest! First modeling contest I've ever entered, and I'm really excited about it. Voting opens February 27th and goes through March 19th. You can cast one vote a day, so I'm counting on all of you to vote for me daily! For each vote cast you are entered for a chance to win a gift from Maurices. :) If I win, I get to be in one of Maurice's modeling fashion photoshoots, I win a shopping spree at Maurices, and get to donate money to my favorite charity.

Last night I auditioned for the play "Alice In Wonderland" at my local community theater. Just the audition process itself was so fun, Anita does a really great job, I was very impressed by her. I saw a lot of old friends that I would love to take the stage with again. Hoping I get a part that I really like! All the parts look like a lot of fun and each has at least one line (totes to Anita for making every part desirable) but the parts I want most are Alice, The Mad Hatter, The Red Queen, Cheshire Cat, or the Blue Caterpillar. They would just be such fun parts to have. :)

I've taken on a third job as a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant! So far, I've been having a lot of fun and have been surprised by my success. I needed extra income since everyone's hours at Kwikstar were cut by about 50% the first week in December. 75% morelike for me. I went from having 25-35 hours to 6-12 hours. God seemed to bring along Marcia (my Mary Kay mentor) and just work things out. I'm hoping I'm successful with my new endeavor and I hope you all support me! If you would like to host a Mary Kay party (its free and you can invite 5 of yours friends), let me know! I teach skin care and a little color at the parties, you get to sample the products, and just have fun time with friends/family. Its free, and if you host the party, you receive a hostess gift! Also, I'm having a starter deal that for every person you invite, you get 10% off a product. So if you can get 5 guests to attend, that's 50% off each product that you order! Also, I have a website that you can view products on and order if you like: http://www.marykay.com/cassiemyost

I've been writing a lot of new songs lately and have been trying to set them all to music and polish them up. I finally decided that music is what I really want to do, and I feel that God can use me to be a light to others with my music. I don't categorize myself into a Christian Pop genre or Mainstream, because some of my songs don't have God in them but some of them do, and I think that's okay. Each song is a personal expression of something. Sometimes just a feeling, sometimes an experience or a dream, or a turning point. Anyway, I'm really praying and hoping I can record my CD this summer! I'm taking voice lessons and saving as much money as I possibly can. I'm also getting a new ukulele! Professional quality with a tweed case to haul it to my future shows. :)

As always, I have big dreams and hope that you can all support me with prayer and encouragement.

My mantra for this month has been this:

Always look to the Father. Though you may stumble, He will always steady you, and if you should fall, He will carry you the distance.

  1. A CD huh? I wondered why you popped into my head again. My offer still stands, although I'll understand if you opt for a more professional studio.
