Breathe… 🙏🏽♥️

**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

Found saved in my photos on February 22, 2022. Couldn’t find where I actually shared it on social media. I would love to know what caption I added.☺️

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.

Keep it simple. Don’t overcomplicate it.

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

Since I’m Up…

I’ve already written and scheduled my first post, but can’t go back to sleep. Been listening to songs since I shared links to the two songs in my other post (will be published soon). Anyhoo… at the moment, I’m listening to Bell Biv Devoe’s “When Will I See You Smile Again?” and will have to follow it up with “I Do Need You.” Can’t play one without the other. Lol. Got me wishing DJ D-Nice was still doing his Club Quarantine Lives on Instagram. Those were the days!☺️

Keep smiling!♥️

My Journey With God, No. 66

“Never give up on your dreams. You’re still breathing, so your dreams are still possible.”

When I shared the image and caption above on Instagram and YouTube, I included Yolanda Adams’ song “Never Give Up.” The song says (Lyrics: LyricFind)—

Visions that can change the world 
Trapped inside an ordinary girl 
She looks just like me 
To afraid to dream out loud 

And though it’s set for your idea 
It won’t make sense to everybody 
You need courage now 
If you’re going to persevere 

To fulfill your divine purpose 
You’ve gotta answer when you’re called 
So don’t be afraid to face the world 
Against all odds 

Keep the dream alive don’t let it die, if something deep inside 
Keeps inspiring you to try, don’t stop 
And never give up; don’t ever give up on you 
Don’t give up


When I tell you this last year has been about full-circle moments! Last June, I began serving my second term as president-elect for my state’s dietetics association (the first time was in 2015). Back in November, I was reconnected with someone I wanted to work on a project with ten years ago. Today, we are working on a similar project that’s even better than the one I envisioned. Then, last night, I attended an event and connected with someone who could possibly help me with another project I wanted to work on ten years ago.

Y’all, I had given up on both projects—projects that were part of my dream—but God said not so!

Despite the craziness happening right now, God is still bringing dreams to life. I can’t help but be in awe of Him!

Forever grateful and blessed.♥️
