Confirmation that I’m on the right track. Taking this moment just for me. I am my priority.♥️

Confirmation
My Journey With God, No. 150
YOU are your priority. Not another task. Not another goal. Not another mission. Not another person. YOU, my friend, are your only priority. Everything else is secondary.
Your Priority
My kids have been telling me for the longest that I am my only priority. The last time my daughter was here, she kindly told me that although she’s glad I still consider her and my son when making decisions, they should no longer be a factor in whatever I choose to do. She said that I need to reimagine my life not centered around them.
So what did I do? I started taking on tasks and putting other people’s needs, goals, and interests before my own. Not like I hadn’t been doing it before. Smile. But yesterday was my breaking point.
Yesterday, by noon, I had become so overwhelmed by everything I had taken on that I could literally feel my blood pressure rising—plus I was having hot flashes like CRAZY! Y’all, hot flashes are no joke!! Then, yesterday evening, I saw a post about one of my step-cousins passing from an apparent stroke. He was only a year younger than me.
After finally taking time to sit and breathe, I remembered what my daughter said, I am my only priority.
Today, I need to focus only on myself and what I want to achieve. I live to help and be there for others, but who’s here for me? Who’s helping me? Umm… no one besides ME! So I need to make sure I put myself first and do it daily, not just today. I’m not being selfish. I just want to live a long, healthy life. I have at least 50 more years of life to live.😊
This is all I have for now. Thanks for allowing me to share/ramble. I pray you have a beautifully blessed day!♥️
I love you,
Shaun

This Message Is For YOU
Good Morning☀️and Happy Monday!
This message is for YOU!
It has your name written all over it.
You may not have known you would need this reminder today, but GOD DID! Who else heard that last part in DJ Khaled’s voice? Smile.
Eight years ago, God knew you would need to read this message today and at this particular time.
And I’m so glad He chose me to deliver it to you.😊
Here’s your message:
Your time has not passed. Your future will be greater than your past. Amen
This is all I have for now. Keep your head up. God has great things planned!♥️
I love you,
Shaun

Feeling thankful…
I pray your weekend has been lovely thus far. Wishing you a beautiful rest of the day. May it be filled with lots of love, laughter, and joy.♥️
I love you,
Shaun

Your Future Is In Your Hands
Good Morning☀️ And welcome to another Self-Love Saturday.🌸
Today’s quote is—
“The future starts today, not tomorrow.” –Pope John Paul II
Quote of the Day – 9.26.2026
Your future starts today, not tomorrow. God’s already equipped you with everything you need to begin working towards your goals and dreams, today. All you have to do is start.
If you’re like me, with hundreds of ideas floating around in your head and unsure where to begin, ask God for clarity and guidance. Then, allow Him to walk you through the process. From experience, it may not always be the process you’d like to go through, but in the end, it will be worth it. I’m sure of this.
Again, it’s Self-Love Saturday! Do something that makes your heart smile and future self proud.♥️
I love you,
Shaun

By the way, the song that’s currently playing in my head is Marvin Sapp’s “You Are God Alone.” God is good.
You Are God Alone by Marvin Sapp
A Different World…
Is a must-see!!
If you watched and loved the original A Different World back in the ‘80s, you’ll definitely love the reboot on Netflix. The creators and producers did an excellent job of blending the storylines of both worlds. Watching it felt nostalgic but also new. The original characters made the show feel like home, while the new characters offered a breath of fresh air.
I also love how we’ve all aged together.
Absolutely beautiful.
I hope we get another season.♥️

Perfection Is An Illusion
Good Morning☀️ And Happy Friday!🌸
Decided to check my Facebook memories this morning. Something that I rarely do nowadays. And this memory/quote hit me like a ton of bricks!
“You’re not a perfectionist, you’re just scared.” –Gary Vaynerchuk
When I tell you I felt called out! THIS is how God usually gets my attention.
You see, perfectionism is what I’ve been dealing with lately. It’s the real culprit in me feeling drained this past week. It’s not the amount of projects I’m working on or me overcommitting. It’s me overthinking and constantly revising things to make them perfect, when perfect was never possible. Smiling because my daughter said this very thing after I submitted something I was working on.
I just love her!🥰
Here’s a sneak peek at today’s post under Shaun’s Daily Inspiration:
I believe Gary Vee is right. Perfectionism is more about fear than being perfect. Gotta overcome that fear.
Anyhoo… I’m going to take a quick nap before I start my day. Today I’m releasing perfectionism. No more reviews and revisions. Only submissions, publishes, and sends.
Happy Friday to me!☺️
This is all for now. Wishing you a beautiful day and lovely weekend. Be sure to do things that make your heart smile.♥️
I love you,
Shaun

A Week Of Inspiration
Good Morning☀️ And Happy Thursday! I promise it feels like Friday, but it’s not. Perhaps this is my sign to treat today as Friday. We shall see!😊
As many of you know (those who have been following me for a while), several months ago I decided to separate my daily inspirations from my personal posts. It was time. So, if you’ve been wondering what happened to my “Quote of the Day” and personal inspirational quotes, know that they’re still here! You can find them under ShaunsDailyInspiration.com. If you’re not already following me there, here’s a week’s worth of quotes for you. When I share them on other platforms, I usually share them in pairs.
Note: The following screenshots only show the caption I shared when reposting to social media. Visit ShaunsDailyInspiration.com to see the actual post.

Feeling Honored, Grateful, and Blessed
It’s a little after 1:00 AM and I’m wide awake like I don’t have a full schedule before noon. Sitting here wondering how I keep getting myself into these predicaments. All I can do is laugh because no one creates these situations but me—only me! Shaking my head…
Anyhoo…
I have a 23 year old today!!!🎉
I can’t wait to celebrate my son’s big day with him. Where, oh where, did the time go?! It feels like yesterday that I brought him home. My little baby boy is now a grown man. I’m so honored that God chose me to be his mother. I pray that I’ve done well in God’s sight at being his mom.
Feeling honored, grateful, and blessed to be a mom.♥️

Check On Your Strong Friends
Good Morning☀️
I’ve always agreed with the sentiment—“Check on your strong friends”—but I never factored myself into that equation. Yes, I’m usually the strong friend, but I don’t need checking on as others do.
I’m good.
Nothing keeps me down.
I bounce back quickly.
God’s got me.
But yesterday, I needed to be checked on.
I wasn’t depressed or anything. But I was mentally and physically exhausted. And, I really needed to talk to someone. Not text, but talk. It’s crazy that I didn’t realize I needed to hear another’s voice until my phone rang. Then, when the person on the other end asked, “How are you doing?” Whew! Boy did I start talking!!
The funny thing is, we didn’t talk about much. I just needed human interaction that didn’t involve working or solving problems. Honestly, I needed to laugh.
Yesterday, I wrote about how drained I was. Well, this is how drained I really was.
While I was on the phone, I was also changing my bedding. I kept trying to put a fitted sheet on the bed but for some reason it wouldn’t fit. I would put it on one corner and by the time I tried to put it on the opposite corner, the other side would come off. I tried this several times before realizing I was trying to put a twin sheet on a queen size mattress. Ugh!! All I could do was laugh. I was out of it!
After our call ended, I texted my friend and thanked her for the call. It was definitely a God thing. You see, my friend and I rarely talk on the phone. We either text or talk in person, but never over the phone unless we’re working on something.
Again, I needed that call.
I also need to get out of the house more. I work from home and rarely interact with people in person, and rarely for fun. But this is about to change.
It has to change.
Okay… This was another random one. Or maybe I’m finally using my blog for its intended purpose, to share bits and pieces of my world with the world. Yeah… I think I’m back!
Welcome to Shaun’s World.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
