Well it‘s almost here, the day and night before Christmas, are you ready? Well ready or not Santa Claus is coming to town, so...<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #ffff66;">"You better watch out, you better not cry! Better not pout, I'm telling you why- Santa Claus is coming to town! He's making a list and checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty and nice, Santa Claus is coming to town! He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake! He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake! OH! You better watch out, you better not cry. Better not pout, I'm telling you why- Santa Claus is coming to town!"<br />
</span></i><br />
I’m sure all of you remember this song. As I write it out today and really think about what it says, I’m finding this Santa fellow to be pretty, well, pretty freaky! I mean, I need to watch out, not pout, and don’t cry- all because Santa Claus is coming to town. Who is this guy? Well lets check him out. It seems as though in some way, shape, or form Santa has been around forever, though Santa as we know him didn’t develop until the mid to latter 19th century. Santa Claus is said to have evolved from two religious figures: St. Nicholas and Christkindlein, the Christ child (Maybe that’s why he has special powers?). Anyway, this is what my research yielded. But I didn’t need any of these facts to believe in him when I was a child. As a child, Santa held promise. He was the man with the goods. And I wanted them! So yeah, I was rather inclined to behave and watch out, not cry, nor pout. Well, at least for the week leading up to Christmas.<br />
<br />
Why? Because Santa Claus was coming to town, and he knew things! Like if I was asleep, or if I was awake, rumor had it that he was also privy to such information as to whether I was good or bad, so I tried to be good…for goodness sake. Now I must say that any one else who I didn’t know, who knew this much about me, well lets just say it would be problematic...but this was Santa Claus, and he was a coming to town with the goods, if I was good. Oh yeah, Santa Claus was coming to town with all the things on my Christmas list. The Close and Play, the Chatty Cathy, the Etch-a-Sketch, and Barbie. As I grew older, the all knowing Santa brought me clothes, and shoes that always fit. I guess that’s why he was watching me, so he could get my size right. He is truly amazing, this Santa guy. For all this he would do for some cookies and some milk.<br />
<br />
Christmas used to be a lot more affordable, that’s for sure. Those were the Christmases of my youth. Full of magic and miracles. But miracles are not reserved for the young, nor specific to a season. And the miracle of Christmas was never really about Santa Claus or the stuff that he would bring. It was about believing in a babe born in a manger and the work he came to do, the world he came to save. So often we pray for miracles, but what if the miracle has already been done? It is said that miracles can sometimes happen when they are least expected. But I believe that <i>miracles happen</i>. <b>Period!<br />
</b><br />
For you see, this is what I know so far; Not unlike anything else in life, miracles can be cultivated. A miracle could be as simple as a shift in perception. So if there is any area in your life where you are not perceiving clearly, I encourage you to stop shouting about how bad things are! Cease your pouting and by all means dry your weeping eyes, for things are only what we think they are. Oh, and because Santa Claus is coming to town. Merry Christmas everyone, SEE you next year!!!</div>Cassandra McShepardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04142966338747876915noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334517814712965996.post-22416730552584105392010-11-02T20:27:00.000-07:002010-11-02T21:03:48.971-07:00WITHOUT FURTHER ADIEU...<object height="505" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/13tsW8P_gtE?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/13tsW8P_gtE?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object>Cassandra McShepardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04142966338747876915noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334517814712965996.post-70107854329732003652010-10-31T20:27:00.000-07:002010-11-02T20:56:22.022-07:00OFF WITH HER HEAD!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHmCKtzjeWdRsYPujhwTA-GXb9xmarb8QOGT3gfeBqGvMvcvpjO5LyK9tRRY_MnK9k3OI7ejiTtuJ0m9TK0xzGox50uEeXuW8iOujXTarpXEKPJ2oY8s7mvmL9NSCPvaHSLR0yoBMwHmnL/s1600/138739340-29142707.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHmCKtzjeWdRsYPujhwTA-GXb9xmarb8QOGT3gfeBqGvMvcvpjO5LyK9tRRY_MnK9k3OI7ejiTtuJ0m9TK0xzGox50uEeXuW8iOujXTarpXEKPJ2oY8s7mvmL9NSCPvaHSLR0yoBMwHmnL/s640/138739340-29142707.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The hosts of <b> <span style="color: #990000;">REAL MILWAUKEE</span></b> were all dressed up as Alice In Wonderland for Friday's show, and yes that's me...The Queen of Hearts! It was a wonderfully fun day on the set. Our Halloween Edition of the show just happened to land on my birthday, and the whole crew made a big fuss about it. Thanks so much guys- for the cake, and all that LOVE...! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If that wasn't enough a snippet from my new music video "Feeling Good" was also shown on Friday's broadcast, and then it premiered on Youtube. This is such a beautiful time my friends...truly magical.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've postponed the filming of Season 4 of the vlog until the end of the year. Really, I'd just like to take a few minutes to savor all of this...so thank you for your patience. When we do get it filmed, I promise you'll see it first here, so stay tuned. Like a squirrel storing her nuts for Winter, I surely will have a bounty of morsels to share with you!</div><div style="text-align: justify;">XO, Cassandra</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Yet I'm still not sure if <i>I've</i> wrapped my mind around what just happened! To say its been an amazing week would be a major understatement.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm going to keep this brief so that I might begin the process of decompression [and start making myself some things to wear NEXT week!], but I did want to take a moment to tell you how blessed I am to have been welcomed so warmly by my new family at FOX6. Each and every one of them- from management, to the crew, and of course my fabulous and gracious co-hosts, has gone out of their way to make me feel right at home, you know- <i>like family does</i>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you haven't been able to catch the show, this clip should give you an idea what kind of fun we're having! Enjoy, and have a great weekend!</div>XO Cassandra<br />

Former WMCS-AM talk show host Cassandra McShepard will join Katrina Cravy, Rob Haswell and Nicole Koglin as a co-host for the show. Former WXSS DJ Tony ‘Zamboni’ Clark will be seen live on location as the ‘rover’ for the new program.</span></em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />

I was getting real tired of being at home talking to myself!" McShepard said. </span></em></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<em><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">“I’ve only known Cassandra a short time, but she’s amazing!” raved Fox 6 VP/News Jim Lemon. “When ‘Real Milwaukee’ debuts, Kat, Rob and Nicole will have a ball with her,” he added.</span></em></div><em></em><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<em><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In addition to her radio talk show career, Cassandra is known for many talents, including fashion design and motivational speaking. She is a Milwaukee native.</span></em></div><em></em><br />

As I sat in my window journaling this morning, it occurred to me that I've never just stopped by here to say hello to everyone. Oh, I've shared plenty of what I know so far, but just drop in to let you know what's going on in my life? I don't believe so.</div><br />
So hello then, and how are you doing this fine Summer? Well I hope!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkmVkCPi8G6zA9lCs7CZtfa5FuYpKb_lv8_tiNmVVtZ90pxcmB01oMxkdP_Gsns_i7cIAL1bB5J_T33TUNnVa7pCRzHKHZ1eu2pIPIN03Qb7AiSw2cMKYVw_UuU39YswwcxldNiQVpEHpm/s1600/Still0003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkmVkCPi8G6zA9lCs7CZtfa5FuYpKb_lv8_tiNmVVtZ90pxcmB01oMxkdP_Gsns_i7cIAL1bB5J_T33TUNnVa7pCRzHKHZ1eu2pIPIN03Qb7AiSw2cMKYVw_UuU39YswwcxldNiQVpEHpm/s400/Still0003.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Now that the new website and press kit are finished, you'd think I'd be by a pool, or on a beach somewhere by now, wouldn't you? Not this girl, not this Summer. You see Michael has me up to my collar-seams in projects for Fall. Sound exciting? It most certainly is!<br />

With Michael directing, the second half of filming for my first music video "FEELING GOOD" will commence in September. The first day was actually filmed at the recording session for the jukebox on my new website. Michael captured these stills from the footage he shot that day. Aren't they fun? He's filming the whole thing in black and white for a Beatnik meets Film Noir feeling. Look for a Mid-October premiere on the Youtube Channel!<br />
