Feeling Blessed
I Speak Life
Been singing Donald Lawrence’s song “I Speak Life” for the past 30 minutes or so, so I decided to share the song.
The song says—
I speak life. You’re gonna live, oh, my brother, my sister. I speak life. You are the head and not the tail you will prevail. I speak life. Don’t give up the fight for your life. You shall live and not die.
I Speak Life by Donald Lawrence
At this very moment, I’m speaking life over your life. Don’t give up the fight for your life. You shall live and not die.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
There’s Greatness In You
What a day this has already been!
Woke up to my first scheduled posts on Shaun’s Daily Inspiration displaying incorrectly on the reader’s feed. After Googling how to remove the statement that was attached to the post (was supposed to be the post’s text) and going through the process of removing it, this was what I ended up with…
It took me over an hour to get everything straight (ran into another issue while using the code editor). Very long sigh…
This is a screenshot of the feed after the post was republished…
Now, here’s what’s currently displayed…
Whew!!! Smiling as I write, y’all, THIS is my life. Gotta love it!
Here’s today’s post.
Greatness
There’s greatness inside of you. You may not see it yet, but so many others do. In the right light, you’ll see it too. Signed and sealed with love,…
Greatness
I added a reflection section, “Let’s Pause & Reflect,” at the end of the post. After the morning I’ve had, I guess I’ll be the first to finish the following statement:
“I didn’t always see it, but one great thing about me is …”
Y’all, one great thing about me is that my level of patience is extremely high.
I have been told many times that I have a lot of patience, especially by my older people, but I see it as me providing them with assistance or doing my job.
Today I saw that patience… or maybe it’s persistence. Having an “Aha” moment.
Thinking about several matters I worked on over the past few weeks, even yesterday—my birthday, and even moments ago (just got off a call)—I refuse to stop until an issue is resolved. So maybe it’s a little bit of both, patience and persistence.
Anyhoo… This problem is somewhat resolved. I still need to play around with a few more things to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
By the way, today’s Quote of the Day has posted, so I guess I’ll include it too. Honestly, it’s very fitting for this moment—
“This is your moment. Seize the opportunity to be great.” –Eric Thomas
And I did!😊
Sooo… how’s your day going so far?😅
I hope it’s going great and has been less eventful. Talk to you later!♥️
I love you,
Shaun
53… Such A BIG Number
Today has been pretty quiet, which is what I wanted.
Calm.
Peaceful.
Quiet.
Several times today, I found myself telling people “53 is such a BIG number.” One of my sisters agreed. She said “yeah, it’s close to 55.”
Honestly, I don’t feel like I’m in my 50s. I feel closer to my late twenties, early thirties. But… I’m 53.
Hmmm…
Not really sure what to make of this number.
Think I’ll just let it be…
a number.
Ending my first day/night as a 53 year old with gratitude.🙏🏽
Wishing you a peaceful night.♥️
Signed and sealed with love,
Shaun
Year 53
Today is my birthday, and I am blessed to be here, to be ALIVE!!🎉
My prayer for this year and years to come is to be covered and completely surrounded by God’s love, goodness, and grace.
My scripture for this year is Psalm 23:6—
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”
Wishing you a wonder-filled day!☺️ May yours be just as joyous as mine.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
Good Night (70)
Ending the night and the final few minutes of Year52 with gratitude.
Thank You, Lord, for allowing me to have a beautifully blessed year. Thank You for covering me. Thank You for loving me. I’m so very grateful. So blessed.🙏🏽
Y’all, God is so good. Never take His love, kindness, mercy, or grace for granted. They’re given freely. Please receive them.
I pray you have a restful night.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Year53 is loading….🎉
New Book Alert!
Hey Y’all! I’m excited to share that our WordPress friend and fellow blogger, Anthony Winn (tonysbologna.com), has officially published his first novel! Woohoo!!🎉
I had the privilege of following Anthony’s journey of writing “Letters from Jasper” from his first thoughts to the now published product. Knowing the amount of time and attention Anthony put into writing the book makes me even more excited to celebrate this moment with him.
Anthony, today is YOUR day!! Celebrate!!!🎉🎉🎉 Your dad would be so proud of you! In his words, “Mention my name, get a good seat.” You’ve gotten a great seat!😅 Enjoy!
“Out Now – Letters From Jasper is Officially Live!”
And see my author’s promise! The post Out Now – Letters From Jasper is Officially Live! first appeared on tonysbologna : Honest. Satirical. …
Out Now – Letters From Jasper is Officially Live!
Here’s a little bit about “Letters from Jasper.”
The story follows a father and son as they attempt to reconnect after years of a strained relationship. Egos and old wounds kept them apart for years. However, their cross-country trip, filled with wild unexpected adventures, offers them hope and space for healing. As the cover says, it’s “One last drive. One last truth. One last chance.”
If you enjoy heartfelt stories about hope, forgiveness, and second chances, please celebrate with Anthony by getting his book: “Letters from Jasper.”
Anthony—“The best is yet to come!” Celebrate!!🎉✨

Roasted Mini Sweet Peppers
My daughter texted me and asked how I roasted my mini sweet peppers, and I responded with “Glad you asked!”
You want to know why?!
It’s because I already had a video on roasting sweet peppers.
“Roasted Mini Sweet Peppers” –Nutrition with LaShaundreaB (October 30, 2022)
This was my first YouTube short on my Nutrition with LaShaundreaB channel. I launched my new channel exactly one week before my mom was admitted to ICU (launch date: August 20, 2022; mom admitted: August 27, 2022).
Life and its memories…
I’m not sad.
But I do miss my mom.♥️

My Journey With God, No. 143
What’s your top tip to be successful in life? Today, I still journal several times a day. What I’ve learned over the years is that for me to be …
Reflect and Make The Necessary Changes
Above is the post I made not to long ago. It’s my answer to one of the Daily Prompts. I’ve been awake for a couple of hours. Nothing’s wrong, just preparing for the day/week. I’ve finally learned to work with my internal clock not against it. I’m my most productive during the wee hours of the morning, so why keep fighting it? Smile
I’ve been thinking a lot about a theme for my 53rd birthday year (Year53). I always set one right before or on my birthday. However, I believe I’m not going to set one this year. I’m just going to let Year53 be what it will be.
Anyhoo…
I’m about to rollover and go back to sleep before my real day gets started. But before I do, I just want to thank God for life—for my life. I am truly blessed. Amen
Wishing you a wonderful day and a blessed week.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
