Be inspired.
Then inspire others.♥️

Random Thought
And yes… I’m still awake.
My thought is actually a question:
Why do people share personal things on social media? Asking because I just shared something personal. Then, after sharing it, I asked myself why I shared it. It wasn’t anything too personal. Just a few pictures. But why did I share them?
I’ve been so plugged in for so long that it seems like second nature to share. For the longest I have wanted to get back to my pre- social media life, and I’m somewhat doing it on a personal level, but it feels a bit lonely. I feel disconnected.
Maybe people find comfort in sharing their personal experiences. Maybe it makes them feel connected.
Wednesday Writings
Fell asleep early yesterday. I was so tired. Hadn’t realized how tired I was until I looked at my selfies. My eyes said it all. Not the smeared, half-crooked eyeliner (laughing), but the red line that I noticed going across the white of my eyes. I had spent hours in front of a computer screen for days, trying to complete a 20 hour course in five days. Anyone who knows anything about academia knows 20 hours isn’t actually 20 hours. Yeah.. the lies! Laughing. Anyhoo.. I completed the course. Got the certificate. Woohoo!! Now it’s time to rest, or at least try. Always easier said than done, right?
On another note, I’m excited about today’s adventure! There’s this Van Gogh experience I’ve been wanting to attend for some time now, but it’s always been somewhere far away. Well, yesterday, I stumbled upon it. Like, literally. Was on my way to CVS and it was right there! I just love the way God loves me. I’m so blessed.
My prayer for today is that I stay present and enjoy the moment. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow isn’t here yet. Lord, please help me to enjoy Now.
Now, let me close my eyes and go back to sleep. Rest is a gift, a gift I rarely take advantage of. Talk to y’all Sunday. Take Care!♥️

Peace Stealers
One of the keys to living a healthier, stress-free life is protecting our peace. While we often think of things and people stealing our peace, rarely do we consider our own thoughts of doubt, fear, uncertainty and unworthiness. These are also peace stealers (yes.. stealers, not thieves😁).♥️
Give God Your Best
If we want and expect the best, we must make sure we are giving God our BEST.♥️ ~ Shaun
Hello Sunday
When you are given a gift, use it.
Shaun Bradford, Journal Entry– January 8, 2021
As I look back over my life, I have received so many gifts, tangible and intangible. Sadly, I have only used about about 75-80 percent of them properly. With that said, I may not have used them properly at the time I received them – because honestly, I did not know they were gifts – but once I recognized they were gifts, I used them.
As I move into this next year and next decade, I pray that I am more attentive to what I am given. I pray that I am open to receive and properly utilize what I’m given, as well as use them in a timely manner. Moving forward, I cannot and will not allow fear to stop me from embracing what is already mine.
Question – Are you properly utilizing the gifts you have been given, tangible and/or intangible? If not, what’s stopping you?
Thanks for reading! Wishing each and every one of you a wonderful week.

Dance to Your Own Beat
Dance to your own beat. It might not be perfect, and may even sound a little weird, but it’s yours. Own it. Love it. Protect it. It’s what makes you YOU!♥️ ~ Shaun

Celebrating Day 600
Stay Present
Let’s not be so consumed with the past or the future that we miss out on the present. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not promised. All we have is now.
Believe me, it’s possible to plan for the future and still be present. Try it!♥️ ~ Shaun
