Question: What Do You Want Most?

Finally settling down. This day was anything BUT the “rain day” I had planned. I’m laughing because isn’t that how it is at times. The mistake I made was opening my laptop and forgetting to put my phone on Do Not Disturb. Gotta do better.

Anyhoo… I was sitting here and the question came to mind, “What do you want most?”. Not what you want at this moment, but most from life.

What do you want most?

As I often do, I’m sharing this question with you because I know I’m not the only one who needs to sit with it.

Once you find your answer, strive for that. Make that your focus.

I would say to answer the question without thinking financially or in monetary terms, but if that’s what YOU want most, then that’s what you want most. Don’t let anyone’s opinions or influence stop you from going after what YOU want most. Just don’t make it a person because that would be creepy. Just saying…

You may wonder how you would know when you’ve figured it out. Well, I believe that if you really think about it—as I am doing now—it’s that thing that’s been with you since childhood. It’s the one goal or dream you can’t seem to shake. It’s that thing that’s soul-deep.


By the way, I wish I’d had Dolly Parton on my list of people to meet. She was soooo cool!! Definitely my kind of person. And I didn’t know she loved butterflies as much as she did. I love butterflies.🦋😩

Y’all, we must keep hope alive. We can’t let it die with the greats of our time. We have to carry it on. And not only hope. We must carry on love, kindness, compassion, empathy, and goodness.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

It’s A Rain Day

Good Morning🌧️ And Happy Thursday!

Right now, my room is dark, and the only sound I hear is coming from the rain falling outside my window. I thought about getting up and doing something productive. Then I looked at my schedule and my day is FREE.

Since rain is in the forecast for the entire day, I’m going to make this a rain day. I’m going to make myself a cup of hot chocolate. Find something to eat for breakfast. Then, I’m going to get back in bed and enjoy the rain. Yep! I’m getting back in bed.

Y’all, I do not take days like this for granted. I know it’s a privilege that I get to spend my day how I choose. For this, I am forever grateful. I’m truly blessed.🥰


I pray you have a wonderful day! May it be filled with love, grace, and kindness.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Happy 53 Years & 2 Months To Me🎉

Today, I’m taking a moment to celebrate two months of being 53 years old. Y’all, it’s a blessing that I do not take lightly.

Over the past few weeks, I have witnessed so much suffering, pain, loss, grief, and sadness. So many young lives lost. So many people losing hope. Honestly, seeing it all made me want to retreat into my bubble and disconnect from everything outside my small circle. No matter how much light I tried to fill my timelines with, the more heart-wrenching stories seeped in. It was too much—so overwhelming. I know I can’t disconnect as I did before. I have too much work to do, and my purpose won’t allow it—Not this time!

As I prayed last night, God gave me this message—

You were never meant to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. It’s far too heavy a burden to bear. If you really must help, here’s what …

Release It To God

Today, I’m giving every burden and every care to God and celebrating life.🌺

I pray that you do the same. I know it’s much easier said than done, and I’m pretty sure I’ll have to remind myself to do so throughout the day. Smile, I’m human. But we’ve got this because God’s got us!

Wishing you a wonderful day filled with peace, love, and joy. You deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Happy Self-Love Saturday! August 22, 2026

Today, receive the love that you so freely give to others.

Receive The Love

Happy Self-Love Saturday!

As you go about your day, remain open to receiving the love you give. Too often, we focus so much on making sure others feel loved that we don’t allow anyone to fully show us love.

Today, I encourage you to embrace every ounce of love that comes your way. You deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Let God’s Glory Shine Through You

Good Morning☀️ And Happy Friday!

Let God’s glory shine through you and through everything you touch and do. Allow Him to fill you with His presence. Amen


The song of the hour is Earnest Pugh’s song, “Rain On Us.” The song says—

Let your glory fill this place
Let your all-consuming fire, fill this tabernacle
Purify our hearts
Surround us in this place
And breathe new life within us
Send a refreshing glory
Purify our hearts

Rain on us, Breathe on us
Shower down, Shower down
Send your Spirit, Lord

Lyrics: Genius.com

Rain On Us” by Earnest Pugh

Continue to be a beacon of God’s light. Allow Him to use you as He sees fit.


Wishing you a wonderful day and beautiful weekend. May it be filled with lots of love, joy, and happiness.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Always Choose Kindness And Love

Good Morning☀️

Today’s post is a gentle reminder to always choose kindness and love—always.

These are not your weaknesses, but your strengths.

Kindness And Love

Y’all, this week has flown by! I can’t believe it’s almost the end of the year. Seems like 2026 just began. I say it all the time, all you have to do is blink and it’s 10-20 years later. Smileor Sigh

Listen, stay present, but also keep moving. Don’t let time get away from you. As I wrote a few days ago about life, time is also precious and should be respected and held dear.

I pray you have a beautifully blessed day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Optimism

Good Morning☀️ And happy Wellness Wednesday!

Optimism

Cambridge Dictionary defines optimism as: “the quality of being full of hope and emphasizing the good parts of a situation, or a belief that something good will happen.”

Optimism isn’t a lost cause.

The Best

Optimism is most definitely not a lost cause, and as the late General Colin Powell put it— “perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.”

Listen, your optimism could be the difference between a plain old good day and a FANTABULOUS day!✨

Remain optimistic!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Happy Tuesday!

I believe this is my first post having a Tuesday title. Will have to check and see. Poor Tuesday… I need to be more intentional about showing this day some love. Smile🥰

Anyhoo… I hope your week has started off well and continues to go well. Here’s the post I shared today on Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

God knows what lies ahead. He knows the uncertainty you will face, the hills you will climb, and peaks of mountains you will see. Allow God to guide.…

Allow God To Guide

Allow God to guide you to where you need to be. You can trust Him—always trust Him.


Wishing you a wonderful day! Remember to be kind to yourself and give yourself grace.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Song Of The Hour

Woke up with Hezekiah Walker’s song “I Need You To Survive,” playing over and over in my head. The song says—

I pray for you
You pray for me
I love you
I need you to survive
I won’t harm you with words from my mouth
I love you
I need you to survive

It is His will that every need be supplied
You are important to me
I need you to survive

Lyrics: LyricFind

I Need You To Survive” by Hezekiah Walker


Y’all, we’re in this thing called life together. We need each other to survive.♥️

I love you,

Shaun
