“Today, I encourage you to focus on the good.” –Moi

Focus On The Good by Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

So many good things are happening right in front of our faces. However, much too often we’re too consumed by uncertainties and worries to see them.

Today, I encourage you to give your worries to God. Let Him handle them while you focus on the goodness and blessings surrounding you.

Wishing you a wonderful day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Just responded to a daily prompt asking when do we know when it’s time to unplug. I thought it was a great question for someone (me☺️) just returning from being unplugged for a month.

Y’all, unplugging was truly one of the best decisions I’d ever made. I’m still not back on social media yet. Not sure when I’ll return to those spaces. I’ve enjoyed being in the physical presence of others. I’ve even started talking on the phone and using FaceTime more. I used to be a text girl. I could text all day! Never wanted to talk. Lol. But now, life is a bit different. I like this space I’m in.☺️

Anyhoo… Here’s the response I shared from Shaun’s Daily Inspiration.

I Unplug When…

Enjoy the read!♥️

Love you,

Deep in thought this morning…

Matriarch– a woman who rules or dominates a family, group, or state; specifically: a mother who is head and ruler of her family and descendants (Merriam-Webster)

This morning, I woke up with a new perspective about my role in life—I’m The Matriarch (pronounced dramatically and BOLDLY😂).

I knew the day would come when this would be my role, but I assumed it wouldn’t happen until I was much older. However, now that my mother is no longer here, I’m that person—the matriarch of our small but growing family. I’m the one my siblings look to in the absence of my mom. I’m the one my nieces and nephews see as the family head.

I am the Matriarch. Just trying to let it sink in.

Y’all, God has entrusted this family—my momma’s lineage—to me. Big Sister and Auntie Shaun/TT Suga Baby mean so much more, now. I’m not just the fun (crazy) sister and auntie. I’m so much more!

I guess I’ve been in this role for a while, but I hadn’t put much thought into it being an actual role. If that makes sense. It’s a role I can no longer take lightly. Now, I’m not planning on changing my personality because I don’t ever want to become too serious or boring, but I do need to be more mindful of what I say and do.

So…

What kind of legacy would I like to leave behind? What gems of wisdom will I pass on?

I would like to be known for my love for them, my love for life, and my love for humanity.

This is…

My life.

My world.

My journey.

Grateful and Blessed.♥️

I’m The Matriarch!😂👑🌺

If someone were to ask what’s most important to me, I would say family.

Today, I spent the day with my two youngest sisters. One of them had an event, and my other sister and I drove over to Mobile, AL, to support her.

Yesterday, my oldest nephew and his family were passing through and stopped by for a visit. I was so excited to see my grandnephew again. He looks just like his dad did as an infant. My nephew said that since I had given myself a grand-auntie name—TT Suga Baby—I needed to give his son a nickname. So I did—Lil Scooter. Don’t think it’s going to stick, but I tried. Lol. I just love us! 😂

Y’all, I never knew family would mean so much to me. However, as I get older and more of my loved ones pass away, I cherish my relationship with those closest to me more.

Before I end this night, I just want to say I’m thankful for my family. Thank You, God, for blessing me.♥️

“Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.” –Saint Augustine

Do you believe in what you have yet to see?

In other words—Do you have faith?

Thought I’d ask.♥️

I love you,
