My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
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

“Go where you are wanted,” says Brand Strategist Nancy Martira.
Just listened to the latest episode of Wynne Leon’s podcast, The Life of Try, where guest Nancy Martira discusses how to find your audience based on your specific brand, your personality, and the beauty of forming meaningful connections.
Nancy suggests that if you’re trying to build your audience, find people who fully embrace you and what you have to offer. In other words, you really must go where you’re wanted.
One thing that resonated with me was having a niche style that many people may not embrace. Nancy said that the beauty of having your own business or brand is that you have no one to answer to. You can do your own thing. The downside—which may or may not be a downside—is that your audience may be smaller than most, but more than likely, your connection will be greater.
Sometimes I want a larger audience so that I can spread love, peace, hope, and kindness to every inch of the world. Smile. Then other times (most times), I love having a small audience because I can personally connect with everyone.
Recently, I created a nutrition and wellness Facebook group for women, and I have yet to promote it as I should. The reason is that I don’t want more people in the group than I can personally connect with.
So, here I am at this crossroads. Should I cap the number of group members and not promote it more, or should I allow as many people as possible to join the group and only focus on those who engage in the conversations?
Guess I have some decisions to make.
Be sure to check out Wynne’s latest episode— “Find Your Unique Value with Brand Strategist Nancy Martira,” and SUBSCRIBE to The Life of Try. There are so many great episodes on there, filled with gems of information and ideas.

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

My desire is to please God. Period.
Today/yesterday was long and exhausting. So exhausting that I fell asleep before 7:00 PM and missed the VERZUZ battle between singers Donell Jones and Joe. UGH… This was one I was looking forward to. Don’t plan to watch the replay. To me, the battles are only good when watched live.
Now, I’m wide awake!
Been reading past journal entries from this day and began writing a new one before I decided to share my thoughts here. Overall, the main theme from all the entries I’ve read—and not just from this date, but from my life’s journey—has been to please God. To make sure He received the glory in everything I did.
And today, it’s still the same. Nothing has changed.
Before I attempt to go back to sleep (hopefully it won’t take long😊), I just want to thank God for loving me. Many praises to Him just for being God. It’s funny how that “holy-roller” image I tried so hard to get away from in my late 20s seems to be in full effect now, and I truly love it. I’m laughing because the person, or “holy-roller,” I was in my teenage years lived her life based on perfection. I wanted to be the perfect example of Christ. What I didn’t realize, and it took me years to discover, is that God never asked me to be perfect. He just asked me to be myself, to love Him, and to love those around me. And that’s exactly what I intend to continue doing.
Y’all, God is so good. I am truly, truly blessed.♥️
Shaun
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. Smile…or 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

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

Y’all, life is so very precious. Be sure to respect it and hold it very dear.
Been thinking of how I had just written about Hayden Panettiere. How I mentioned that seeing her clip gave me the courage to speak on things I had been trying to bury. Now she’s gone.
Whew…
Life.
Respect it.
Enjoy it.
Live!!!
Please LIVE!!!!
Shaun♥️
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

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

Over the past few months, I’ve been doing so well with sleeping most of the night. I’ve only had a few days where I’ve fallen asleep so early that I wake up in the wee hours of the morning. And when I would, I made sure not to click on any social media apps. Well, today was different. I clicked. And the first thing that greeted me was the news of Hayden Panettiere’s passing.
Y’all, life is so fragile—so delicate.
On this day a year ago, I wrote “Sending Up Prayers.”
Today, I shared “Prayers” under Shaun’s Daily Inspiration. Here’s what I wrote:
“Sending up prayers for all in need. For those suffering in silence. For those on the verge of a breakdown. For those who feel like they can’t make it another second and are hanging on by a thread.
Father God, place them in your loving arms, hold them close, and never let them go. Give them peace and comfort. Let them know that they are loved and they are not alone. Amen
Scripture: Psalm 61:1-2
“Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to You, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than l.”
Song of the Hour: “Savior More Than Life” by Kirk Franklin & The Family
Allow God in. Allow Him to comfort you. Allow Him to bring you peace. Let Him hold you and love you. You are not alone.🙏🏽
I’m going to attempt to go back to sleep. Please give whatever’s burdening you to God.
Wishing you a blessed day and week.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
