My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
How does the song go, again?
In times like these you need a Savior
In times like these you need an anchor
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
Y’all, this isn’t the end, it’s the beginning…
So, be very sure that your anchor is firmly secured in God, and only God. Unlike us mere mortals, He knows what lies ahead. I know He will get us through this.
Love you!♥️

Today is Day 1111! Woohoo!!!🎉🎉🎉
I just love seeing repeating numbers. Some refer to them as angel numbers. Although I don’t put too much faith into the symbolism, I do look up their meanings from time to time. Especially if I continuously see the same numbers throughout the day or during a certain time period. I’m not going to lie, I often end up confused because there are so many sites with different meanings. So, most of the time I choose the meaning that fit closest to where I am in life, or the most positive.
Here’s one I found just now (went with one of the first ones I saw):
“Angel number 1111 is a powerful and transformative symbol that carries a message of spiritual awakening, manifestation, and divine guidance.” (Science.Howstuffworks.com, September 20, 2023)
Well, my first post for today was, “God’s guidance is strategic.” So, I guess it’s somewhat on point. Laughing. I did read a bit of the article. Will probably read a little more later. It was very interesting.
Y’all, I wonder where they get this stuff.
Anyhoo…
Happy Day 1111 to me!🎉

God’s guidance is strategic. Don’t worry yourself trying to figure it out. He knows where He’s taking you. He knows what lies ahead—the good and the bad. Trust Him and allow Him to lead and protect you. Rest assured, He’s got you! Everything is going to work out in your favor.♥️ ~Shaun
Year50…
“In Times Like These,” is once again stuck in my head. Not sure what it means. Trying not to read too much into it. Intentionally blocking the negative. However, I am human and this human side of me is wondering if my anchor is as secure as I believed it to be.
Hmmm…
Giving it to God, but also heeding the message.
That’s all. Praying you have a wonderful night!♥️
By the way, my show, Tyler Perry’s Sistas returns tonight! Can’t wait to see what factitious drama happens tonight. I believe we could all use a break from the real craziness that seems to be happening. Shaking my head.
Anyhoo… make sure your anchor is secure also.
Good Night!

I really don’t have much to write about today; however, my spirit is speaking and this is what I’m hearing…
“I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34:1
I actually slept in this morning! Yes, that’s what I did! I went to bed early and woke up much later than usual. I guess I needed the rest. Had a busy weekend and yesterday was exhausting.
I don’t have any Facebook memories or journal entries to share today. Just stay safe, keep trusting God, and have a blessed day. Talk to you again soon.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Here’s an excerpt from my journal entry written on May 28, 2017:
“God’s not dead. Jesus is not dead. Remember this. He’s all powerful! God is about to open windows. You NEED to be ready! READY! PREPARED!”
Not quite sure what all happened after that, but I do know later that year I launched my first consulting business, The ResearchDiva–RD. Y’all, I was ready. Couldn’t tell me nothing. I was The Research Diva–RD, ready to save the world! Global health equity was my mission and I was on it. When I tell you I just knew I was about to be working with international entities. Looking back, maybe I was a little too confident. Doors were opening and I was making moves and connections. However, what I had not accounted for were the hiccups and setbacks that came with my quest. Y’all, why did I think everything was going to flow as smoothly as I had planned in my head and on paper? All it took was one blow and I was out. Just being transparent. I was done. Physically I was still there doing the work; however, mentally I was gone.
So, here I am seven years later seeing and hearing that same message everywhere—“Be Ready! Windows are opening.” And I see it happening. Over the past few months some of the same opportunities I had 7-8 years ago have re-presented themselves and of course I am taking them. I know everyone doesn’t get second chances so I refuse to let them slip away. However, unlike seven years ago, I am not oblivious to the fact that all good things and successes come with challenges. This time I’m prepared. Yes, this time, no matter what happens, I will keep going.
Listen, please do not think this message is only for me. No, YOU should also be ready and prepared. Windows are opening. Setbacks and disappointments will happen as you move forward, but keep going!
I pray you are having a wonderful day thus far. Be blessed and again, keep going!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Today, I am thanking God for just being God. For loving me unconditionally. For being patient with me time and time again. For giving me life when so many my age have already taken their final breath. For allowing me to restart multiple times without judgement. For continuously nudging me forward and not allowing me to give up. For His revelations, affirmations, and confirmations. For His protection. For peace.
I am blessed. Beyond blessed.♥️
Thankful
Shaun
Before you send that text or email, or make that call or post, or act or react—
Stop…
Breathe…
and
Ask yourself…
“Is it worth it?”
“What will I gain?”
“What will I lose?”
“Is it worth it?”
A moment of stillness can save you a lifetime of regrets—speaking from experience. Also, momentary satisfaction doesn’t always end well—experienced in this area as well. As the saying goes, the chickens will eventually come home to roost. Again…
Stop…
Breathe…
and
Ask yourself…
“Is it worth it?”
“What will I gain?”
“What will I lose?”
“Is it worth it?”
Love you!♥️

Found the following images in my Facebook memories. Couldn’t decide which to share so I decided to share both.
On May 27, 2018, I added the following caption when I shared the image above:
I saw this in a tweet and decided to share. When I describe my life to others, I always say my life is full of adventures, and this is EXACTLY what I mean. One roller coaster ride after another. I’m so grateful I know God. He keeps me grounded. Amen
Yes, life is like a roller coaster ride full of ups and downs and twists and turns, but God continues to keep me grounded. I am so grateful for my relationship with Him. Without it, I am not sure where I would be today.
This next image represents who I have become—a woman of vision and faith. The dreams are slowly, but truly, becoming a reality. I am loving this space I am in.
Praying you have a wonderful day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
