Hello Sunday (283)

Happy Sunday!☀️

How are you?

How was your Fourth of July?

I spent my Fourth with my youngest sister. She drove over from Mobile, AL, for an event, and I got to hang out with her for the day. My heart was full, and so was my belly.😊

This is my sister, Sarah (IG link). She’s been a yoga teacher for about ten years.
Receiving the cooling towels infused with essential oils was probably my favorite part of the session. It was well over 90° out there! I was HOT!😂
I had not planned on participating in the session. I was only going to take pictures and watch. That was my plan… I couldn’t help but join in on the fun.😂
This was my view from the mat. As you can see, it was a beautiful day.
Hanging out after the session and enjoying the vibes and good music.
Our Fourth of July meal. Curried goat and fixins.😋

Overall, my weekend has been great so far. I don’t have much planned for today. Guess I’ll mostly relax.☺️

I pray you have a beautiful Sunday. Be sure to relax too.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Freedom Is…

There’s a lot I could say about today’s celebration of 250 years; however, I will only say this—

Freedom is not free. It comes at a great cost and with many sacrifices. For freedom to remain, we must remember those costs and sacrifices.

Freedom is longed for by many, taken for granted by most, and embraced by a select few—hopefully you.

Celebrate, but also remember.♥️

Your Future Depends On You

“The future depends on what you do today.” –Mahatma Gandhi

Besides God, Your Future is determined by you. Not anyone else, but YOU! Of course, there are outside factors that play a role in whether or not your future manifests itself exactly as you desire. However, I truly believe your future can be pretty close to what you want.

Questions for you—

What kind of future do you want? Do you know?

What are you doing today to get there?

Definitely something to ask yourself and ask often so that you stay on track. Let’s limit the detours and scenic routes. Just talking to myself. Smile.


Before I go, how are you doing? What’s going on in your world? Sorry I haven’t asked in a while. I pray that all is well.

Wishing you a wonderful day and great weekend. Do something special for yourself. You deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

July 1, 2026

Beginning my day and this new month with gratitude. God, thank You for allowing me to see another blessed day. Thank You for giving me 30 days of a beautiful birthday month. I know that I am loved and truly blessed.

As I enter the month of July, I’m speaking life and blessings over everything I touch and every space I enter. God, may Your presence and glory always precede me and remain for others to remember long after I’ve left their presence. Amen


As YOU enter July, remember to leave your worries behind. Know that God has you covered and It All Works Out.

God has you covered. Trust Him.

Wishing you blessings on top of blessings this month. Enjoy your day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Stay In Prayer

I haven’t shared an afternoon message in a while. Smile. This one is simple yet so important—Stay in prayer.

Stay in prayer.

Also, stay attuned to that still small voice. God is always speaking. Be sure to listen and be obedient.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

**Returned to add this—

“Get up! God has conquered your storm.”

Life, peace

In God’s Hands

On June 30, 2023, the first sentence of my journal entry was—

“I don’t know how God is going to do it but I know that He will.”

And He did.

Feeling Grateful

Woke up feeling grateful and blessed. So many didn’t wake up this morning, but I did, and I don’t take this lightly. I’m so grateful for another opportunity to be a display of God’s glory. Y’all, I’m truly blessed.🌺

Stopped to take a quick birthday selfie before I headed home. I had a great weekend with my baby girl! I got to love on her, and she loved on me. Again, I’m so blessed.🥰

Today, if you find yourself wondering about what the future holds for you, I encourage you to trust God’s Guidance, Timing, and Process. He knows what your future holds because He already has it planned.

Now, breathe…


Wishing you a wonderful day and beautiful week. You deserve both!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, 144

Question:

Why does God put so many desires and dreams in our hearts only for us to have to choose which ones to fulfill in our lifetime?

Long, long, long sigh…


If you’ve been following me for at least three years or more, you may have noticed that I don’t mind pivoting to follow wherever my passions take me. I truly don’t.

As I look back over my life, I have always followed some passion of mine. From the military to culinary to dietetics to research to advocacy—haven’t even mentioned my creative side—I’m forever following a passion. It’s like I can’t stop. Ugh…

This morning, I’m sitting here trying to figure out how to connect all of my passions. And y’all, I have MANY! Every single passion I’ve ever had still lies within me. I mean every single one.

I must find a way to connect them all.


Yesterday, my daughter’s fiancé took me to tour his new workplace. The last company he worked for had a phenomenal space—it was so nice. I loved the warm and inviting atmosphere. However, this new company has the kind of environment I always longed to work in. From the outdoor spaces to the break areas to the artwork and creative spaces, I was on cloud nine. It wasn’t just the space, but the technology aspects of it all. Y’all, I’m a low-key techie and their setup made my day.

Side note: Since eighth grade, I’ve been in love with coding and technology. Even before then, I was designing flying cars and preparing to live in outer space. I was so ready for this era. At least I thought I was.😅

During the tour, I took a moment to sit in that space, to be in that atmosphere, to take it all in.

There has to be a way for me to do everything I desire to do. I just know there is! God wouldn’t have put all of this in me just for it to remain inside of me. Laughing because He knows I love a challenge, and I believe this one is going to be my biggest yet. I have to create something that will incorporate all of my passions, desires, and dreams.


Here are a few pictures from my tour. I just loved the art. And they had Scrabble games, books, puzzles, and creative spaces everywhere. Y’all, I was on cloud nine, for real.

Anyhoo… here’s today’s inspiration— In God’s Strength— “God’s strength will take you much further than your own.”

Today, I’m tapping into God’s strength for real because ain’t no way I’m leaving this world without doing every single thing I desire to do!!

This journey of mine is an adventure indeed, and I’m loving every moment of it.

Feeling grateful and blessed.♥️

Signed with much love,

Shaun
