Today’s A New Day
Good Morning☀️
Today’s a new day! Be sure to leave yesterday’s worries, fears, hurts, and disappointments behind. Start today with a fresh mind and open heart, expecting great things to happen. Remember, God is still in control.
I pray this week brings you peace and clarity. May God’s love and grace surround you. Remain open to new ideas and opportunities that align with God’s divine purpose for your life. Remember, more of God and less of you. It’s all about God and His glory, not ours.♥️
I love you always,
Shaun

I Still Believe
Being reminded of my “Why” keeps me hopeful.
I hadn’t looked at all of my Facebook memories until moments ago. Six years ago, I created my social media platform, “Mississippi Thriving.” I posted my official welcome message in December of that year, so you may see me celebrate milestones in February and December.
Here’s what I wrote on this date in 2019 and 2020.
In the past six years, I have connected with so many wonderful people who share my same vision for a healthier, brighter, and thriving Mississippi. Although it may feel as if we’ll never see it happen in our lifetimes, I still believe it’s possible.
I must keep hope alive.♥️

My Journey With God, No. 67
God has been speaking to me this morning, and y’all, I’m listening.
His message to me, which may also be a message for you—I (you) can’t carry someone else’s load (this includes their fears). Their load is theirs to bear. I can pray for them and help however I can, but I cannot carry their load for them. My hands and heart weren’t meant to do God’s job. Just like I have been attempting to rest in Him, others will have to find rest in him as well. He let me know that it doesn’t mean that I don’t care, it only means that I cannot do what only He can do.
I just love how He loves me.🥰 ~Shaun

What advice would you give to your teenage self?
I would advise my teenage self to extend grace to my mother. Understand that although she is a mother, she’s human, too. She wants to be loved, respected, and appreciated, just like you. She’s had her heart broken more times than you know, but she always manages to recover—at least outwardly. You will later learn the toll it took on her mentally, emotionally, and physically. Give her hugs. Tell her you love her. Buy her little gifts. Write her notes. Love on her because one day, she’ll be gone, and you will wish that you had done all those things throughout your relationship, not just the last few months of her life.

Hello Sunday
Happy Sunday!☀️
Psalm 118:21–24 (NIV)
21. I will give You thanks, for You answered me; You have become my salvation.
22. The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;
23. the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24. The Lord has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.
Rejoice!
Today’s a new day, which means there’s still hope for something miraculously wonderful to happen. Never give up hope.
I love you,
Shaun

**So many are afraid right now. They’re not sure if they’ll have jobs in the upcoming weeks or if they’ll be able to afford food or medication. What’s happening is real. Please keep them in your prayers.🙏🏽
Never Too Old
As C.S. Lewis said, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”
I will also like to add—You are never too old to continue believing in your childhood dreams. Keep those dreams alive, too.
Never stop believing.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Yes, It’s Still Love Month
Good Morning☀️
Yes, I am still talking about love! Smile
I’ve shared the same image below since 2022. To continue with the “love” theme, I’m sharing it again today, along with two of my previous captions—the first is included in the screenshot.
Here’s the second caption, which was shared last year.
Feeling a bit nostalgic this morning. Taking it back to when times seemed simpler. When love seemed simpler. But what would I know? I was only around four or five when “When Somebody Loves You Back,” was released.🤭 Let’s just say I felt the love Teddy was singing about. It was between this song and L.T.D.’s “Love Ballad.” I’m a 70’s baby, of course I love “LOVE.”☺️
When I shared last year’s post as an Instagram story, I included Teddy Pendergrass’ “When Somebody Loves You Back.” As you can see, I was torn between it and another 70’s favorite, L.T.D.’s “Love Ballad.” I remember my granddaddy playing L.T.D.’s eight track while driving his midnight blue L.T.D. I was so intrigued by the fact that they were both L.T.D.s that I never forgot either—not even the color of his car. Great memories.☺️
As I said in my caption from last year, “I’m a 70’s baby, of course I love “LOVE.”☺️” It’s who I am, and this year I’m embracing it. I am a lover and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said—
“Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.”
Let’s light up the world with LOVE!♥️
I love you,
Shaun
