Love

Saw this Facebook memory and immediately heard Earth, Wind & Fire’s, “Can’t Hide Love.” You can’t hide it so you may as well let it in. Just saying.♥️ ~Shaun

For love to win, you must first allow it in. Love cannot enter a closed heart.♥️

Love and be loved.

Happy Father’s Day

Today, I am veering a little off script. Instead of writing my Father’s Day message under my “Hello Sunday” post, I have decided to give fathers their own post.

To all of my wonderful fathers out there, know that we see you. Yes, we actually see you. We see you, and you are loved and appreciated. Enjoy your day!💙

Alton Sutton (my daddy) inspired.

Spending the day with my daddy. Not sure how much longer we have left together. Going to spend as much time as possible with him as I can. He’s not sick, but he is getting older and moving a little slower. He’s my heart.♥️

Me and my daddy.

Friendly Reminder…

As I stated six years ago when I shared the message below, things are already getting better. Trust God. He’s got you.♥️ ~Shaun

Grateful, Blessed, and Loved

Didn’t know what I wanted to share this morning. Having a lot of mixed emotions. However, grateful, blessed, loved are what I am feeling most.

Last night I attended a birthday party celebrating my grandmother’s first cousin’s 70th birthday. It was such a beautiful celebration. I only wish my mom and grandma were still alive to celebrate it with us. I miss them both soooo much. However, spending time with family—some of which I hadn’t seen in ages—made me feel as if they were still with me, just couldn’t make it to the party.

My grandma had 11 children—7 boys and 4 girls. My mom was the oldest. My aunt, Jackie, is her last surviving sister on my grandmother’s side. She’s only four years older than me. One of my first babysitters and playmates.💗

Grateful, blessed, and loved.♥️

Friday Vibes

I may or may not have created this image. Can’t remember.😄 Anyhoo… Image Credit: Unknown (2019)

As Aaliyah sings—

It’s Friday (Hey)
And I’m ready to swing, pick up my girls
And hit the party scene
Tonight, oh, it’s alright, mhm
So get up and let this funky mellow grove get you in the mood
‘Cause you know it’s alright, yeah

Keep on groovin’
(Don’t stop movin’)
Don’t stop movin’
Let me see you, let me see you go

Back, back, forth, and forth (Go back)
Let me see you go
Back, back, forth, and forth (Alright)
I wanna see you go
Back, back, forth, and forth (Come on)
Let me see you go
Back, back, forth, and forth (See you go back and forth)

“Back & Forth” by Aaliyah
Lyrics: Musixmatch

Be Kind

Today, let’s intentionally be kind. Let’s even be kind to those who don’t deserve our kindness. Kind, but not a doormat. As my momma use to say, “Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness.” Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

Choose kindness. Kindness is not indicative of weakness. It’s a sign of strength, control and humility. And yes, it’s possible to exhibit all three simultaneously. I dare you to try it!😉

Life Is Funny

Listen, the longer you live the more interesting life becomes. God definitely knows how to keep me amused. Grateful for this ride of a life. A ride that has been tailored only for me. I am blessed.

Good Night♥️

Year51 is loading…

Be Still

I know you are feeling a bit antsy and want to move, but you need to be still. Do not move until God tells you to move.

Again, be still. Don’t you dare step out without God’s permission and covering.♥️ ~Shaun

Ask

Shared on June 13, 2023. Image Credit: Unknown

Not sure who wrote the message on the image above. I shared it on this day last year, and thought it would be good to share it again.

Message: Ask for what you want. As I have often heard, the answer will either be— “Yes,” “No,” or “Not now.”

What I have learned is all of the answers have a purpose. “Yes” means it will happen. “No” means God has something better planned. We may not understand or accept the “No,” but it’s often for our protection—physically, mentally, emotionally, and/or spiritually. “Not now” usually means God is still working on a few things, and sometimes that thing is us. Smile. Remember, delayed is not denied.

So go ahead and ask. Then, learn to be content with the answer if it’s not what you want to hear. Believe me, it only means God has a bigger and better plan.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Never Stop Creating

On June 13, 2022, I wrote:

If you can imagine it, I wholeheartedly believe you can create it. It may not look exactly like what you’ve imagined, but create it anyway. Silence that voice that says it’s not good enough because God will step in and perfect it. So create!

This image was shared with the caption above. What a difference two years make. Smiling because I know it’s only going to get better with time.

Keep creating.

One day what you see will be what you imagined.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
