Individual Aspect welcomes Cassie McHenry

Welcome to the very first installment of Individual Aspect! I am thrilled to have you along for the inaugural post, we have a great first guest, and I am stoked to tell you more about her! Are. You. Ready???

Cassie McHenry is a light, bright, joyful, inspiring, and beautiful. She is fun, sunny, and warm. Did I mention she can sing and play a guitar? Cassie has been singing in church for years, recently, she started to sing in a more visible way, she is learning to go solo.

Cassie was singing with a band for a while, when family took precedence, so she opted for a short break from singing. When the time was right to come back, Cassie decided to step completely out of her comfort zone, and to go solo. She went from being a vocalist, to picking up a guitar to enhance her musical skills, taking a big leap of faith for herself. Cassie is self taught on the guitar, and had some guidance from her husband Aaron, who is also a self taught guitar player. I was very impressed to hear her play, she does not seem a novice but a seasoned musician, and when she added her vocals, I was at my own personal concert with Cassie McHenry.

This woman is amazing, she inspires me in so many ways. I saw Cassie stepping out solo, sitting front and center with her guitar, singing for friends and strangers, and I felt inspired. I thought about the courage being up front, singing and playing by yourself must take. I saw the joy and happiness on Cassie’s face, as well as her friends’ and family’s, at hearing her sing and play. When I asked Cassie what her favorite part of performing was, she said that she loves providing joy, and when she looks at people enjoying her music, seeing the happiness on the sea of faces, it gives her joy to provide that joy for others. How amazing is that?

Cassie informed me that she was really hesitant to start singing in a band, feeling like singing at church was one thing, but to perform for others was a totally different thing. With the support of family and friends, she took the chance and now sees an entirely different path forward with her music. She feels the impact that she can have on others’ lives through her tunes, and she is here for it!

Cassie has some big goals for her musical path, I love that she does! We talked about those goals, steps she is taking to get there, and how she is enjoying the process of it all. She has a big plan and isn’t afraid to say it, she is well on her way to being the musician she is capable of being! We talked about some keywords that describe her, such as bold, lively, fun, joyful, and I must say those are spot on! Cassie is a woman that is taking a chance on herself, she keeps her family close to her heart, and she knows what comes first in her life. I love that for her, and that she shares that with all of us.

Cassie, thank you for inspiring me, for sharing your talents, and for saying yes when I asked you to come in for a session. This takes courage to open up, to be photographed and to let the world see you. You are beautiful my friend, thank you for taking the chance on my sun ray promptings!
