November 12, 2026: Expect To Win

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️ And Happy Thursday!

Just felt the need to make note of today’s date—November 12, 2026.

Here’s the quote from today’s post under Shaun’s Daily Inspiration:

“You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.” –Zig Ziglar

Born A Winner

Although you were born a winner, you must expect to win! Of course, you set your mind to win. I mean, who doesn’t? Then you start planning and preparing to win. However, somewhere along the way, life starts doing what it does, making you question whether you’ll ever win. When this happens, do you stop planning and preparing? Do you stop expecting to win?

Because if you don’t expect to win, you probably won’t win!

Listen, I don’t know about you, but this new wave of hope has made up for all the disappointments of the past few years. I can finally see the dream again so clearly. It hadn’t left me, but it was becoming pretty blurry. But I see it now!

Y’all, humanity will win!

Please allow me to take a moment and express my gratitude:

GOD—Thank You, for loving me. For loving us!! Thank You for not allowing my dreams to die. For keeping hope alive. I am blessed. WE are blessed. Amen🙏🏽

This is all I have for now. Remember, you are already a winner. Expect to win!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Mississippi

Shaun Bradford

In the documentary “Freedom Summer 1964,” it was said, “Crack Mississippi and you crack the whole South.” I felt this statement when I watched the documentary in 2014, and I’m feeling it even more today!

Sadly, the video is no longer available.

I watched it on PBS on my birthday in 2014. A few weeks prior to it airing on PBS, I watched it at a special showing at the University of Southern Mississippi. What a time to be alive!

Guess what?!

Mississippi’s newest United States senator is Scott Colom.💙

The people spoke, and our voices were heard. Hope won!✨

My heart is full. Thank You, God.♥️

The Gospel of Christmas: Powerful Message

Shaun Bradford

Just finished watching Tyler Perry’s The Gospel of Christmas! Y’all, I wasn’t expecting the movie to be so powerful!

You know I don’t do spoilers, but I will give you this nugget:

As long as you have God in your life and by your side, NO WEAPON formed against you will prosper! NONE!!!

Singing Fred Hammond’s, No Weapon.

Powerful!!✨

One more thing—note the Angels throughout the movie and at the end!!

Whew!!!

Y’all, I’m so grateful for the angels God has encamped around me! Hallelujah!

Okay… I’m done. God is so good!♥️

Everybody’s Not Going To Like You

Shaun Bradford

What life lesson did you learn too late?

I learned that it’s actually true—everybody’s not going to like you. You don’t have to do anything wrong or mistreat them; they just won’t like you.

I believe that was one of the hardest life lessons to learn, and I definitely learned it too late.

Honestly, I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had learned it earlier.🤷🏽‍♀️

Life…

My Journey With God, No. 153

Shaun Bradford

Hello!☀️ And Happy Tuesday!

Today’s a new day, and I’m blessed to be here.🌺

Lately, I’ve been a little more quiet than usual. Been taking more breaks from the outside world and focusing more on my world and my relationship with God. The world around us is changing and so am I.

Yes, I’m changing.

Nothing’s wrong. I just am.

I’m changing, and I’m navigating through it all with God leading the way. He’s taking me somewhere (not sure where), and I need to stay focused so I don’t miss any steps.🙏🏽

If you’re ever in doubt about where life’s taking you, take a moment and sit with God. He’ll lead you to where you need to be.

This is all for now. Thanks for taking the time to visit my world. I pray that you have a beautiful day! May it be filled with lots of love, joy, and peace.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

You Already Have What You Need

Shaun Bradford

Happy Monday!☀️

God has placed within you the keys to becoming everything you desire to be. When it’s time, use them.

You Hold The Keys

You already have everything you need within you to become who you desire to be. No need to continue looking outwardly; look inward. Look at everything you already possess and use it.

This is it for now. I pray you have one of the most amazing weeks!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday (301)

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️ And Hello Sunday!

Y’all, I woke up with my spirit praising God! My heart is so full right now!! Here’s what I shared on this date five years ago:

“The wait is over. Walk in your season.”

Whew!! Talk about timing! I always say this is the era we were meant to be born in. Not centuries ago (even though we may have been there too😉), not years from now, but NOW! God created us for NOW. We have work to do to ensure future generations thrive!

Yes, it’s on us!

Today’s message is—

It’s your time! Embrace all that God is sending your way. Don’t run from it. Instead, lean into it and give it your all.

Short story and a peek into my world right now:

If you’ve been following my stories, you know I’ve been spending time with my elder friend, Retired Lieutenant Colonel Raylawni Branch (USAF), for a few years now. Most of our conversations center on me joining organizations she’s affiliated with. She keeps telling me that she wants me to serve on certain boards and committees after she’s gone. When she says this, I usually tell her she’ll live at least 20 more years. A couple of weeks ago, she invited me to join her for two luncheons, back to back. This time, instead of making excuses, I went to both. Afterward, I understood the assignment.

I understand the assignment, and this time I’m leaning into it (thanks, Wynne!) instead of running from it. It’s my time!🦋 (Note the “No. 301” in the title. A new beginning!)

This is all I have for now. I pray you have a lovely Sunday. May it be filled with lots of love, joy, and peace.♥️

I’m getting ready to click DND again and enjoy my day. I can really get used to this! Smile

I love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 152

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️ and Happy Self-love Saturday!

Two years ago, I wrote the following after the presidential election:

The Best…Is Yet To Come? (November 7, 2024)

All the work women fought for to have our voices heard and respected as equal—gone.

Yeah… I’m going to need a minute. I cannot allow my own hope and optimism to die like everything else. I cannot and will not allow my heart to become hard because love is everything to me. What is the world without it? So, this will probably be my only post for today. I need to connect with God. I don’t know or understand what He’s doing, but I still trust Him. However, right now, my heart hurts.

I was so hurt. Devastated! Yet I still trusted God and respected His plan. Now here we are two years later and my heart is smiling and so full. As I mentioned back then, hope, optimism, and love are everything. I thrive off them.🌱

Here’s a quote I shared this morning under Shaun’s Daily Inspiration–

“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.” –John Lennon

Y’all, fear causes so much chaos. But love brings us together, and hope and optimism keep us together. We must keep all three alive.

I can’t say it enough, I just love the way God loves me. He always knows how to make me smile. I am so very blessed.🥰

This is all I have for now. Be sure to show yourself a little extra love today. I’m planning to repeat what I did last Saturday and unplug after I make a few posts. It’s a DND kind of Saturday.☺️

Wishing you much love and peace. Have a blessed day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

THE Blueprint

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning and Happy Friday!☀️

When I tell y’all my heart, soul and spirit are so full this morning! Y’all, I’m experiencing the most amazing “AHA” moment right now! You see, I haven’t visited my Facebook memories in months. However, when I woke up this morning, I kept hearing that I needed to visit my memories. That my memories were where I’d find my message. And it was! Whew!

Listen, it’s no secret that I am a HUGE Tyler Perry fan. Been a fan for years! Even refer to him as my “fav.” And it’s because he really is, and here’s why!

He’s the blueprint. (Or maybe he’s my blueprint🤷🏽‍♀️)

Here’s what I believe. God gave many of us Tyler Perry as a blueprint for how to go from dreaming the ultimate dreams—unimaginable dreams—to actually achieving and living out those dreams. If it happened for Tyler, it can happen for us too!

Here is what I shared this morning after seeing a video of Tyler’s that I shared eight years ago.

I cannot give up! As long as I have breath in this body, I WILL NOT GIVE UP!

Y’all, God is so good. He always gives us what we need when we need it. Always! I needed to see that video this morning. I needed to once again remember my why—my dreams.

Listen! Don’t give up!

You must keep going!!

This is all I have for now. I need to hurry on over to Shaun’s Daily Inspiration and share a post. I pray you have a wonderful day and beautiful weekend. May both be filled with lots of love and joy!♥️

I love you,

Shaun
