My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Life happens. Go with the flow.
Happy Tuesday!
Woke up with the song, “Be Encouraged,” playing over and over in my head. Not long afterwards, I checked my Facebook memories and low and behold look at what popped up!
Kept scrolling through my memories and found another gem from July 11, 2017. I immediately began singing Donald Lawrence’s song, “I Speak Life.”
Thanks for dropping in to see what I had to say today. I so appreciate you! Enjoy your day.♥️

True happiness comes from within. Wishing you much happiness and peace.♥️ ~Shaun
Decided to check my Facebook memories–which seem to be feeding my soul lately–before going to bed. I’m sleepy but restless. I do not have anything in particular on my mind just tired, too tired to sleep. My visit with my parents will be over in a few hours. Not ready to leave them but I have to get back home.
Anyhoo… wanted to share this gem with you. I shared it on July 10, 2017. Back then my sacrifices were much different than they are now. Today, I can see how my sacrifices are directly related to my goals and dreams. Couldn’t see it then. Guess I wasn’t ready. Life…
Good Night♥️
I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Psalm 34:1
Enjoy your Sunday!♥️
Was going to share this with this morning’s blog, but I knew it would have been too long. This memory is a caption that I had written in response to a video Michelle Obama shared on July 7, 2019. She was speaking about women finding it difficult to put themselves first. It has taken a while, but I am finally finding it so much easier to put myself first.

Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. Caution: it’s pretty long, but needed.
I’m a nurturer. I’m a problem solver. If I see something that needs to be done, I do it, whether asked or not. So, I don’t blame anyone else for expecting me to do what I’ve always done.
Since my 45th birthday, stepping back and allowing others to handle problems has become easier. I’m finally focusing on me. These past two weekends have been rejuvenating. I’ve actually enjoyed myself without worrying about my kids (my cheerleaders☺️), my family, or work.
Y’all may think I’m over exaggerating, but I haven’t felt free to only think about myself since I was a little girl. Back then, I was either the oldest, or most “mature,” so I was always put in charge of things. This carried over into my adulthood and 1) was great for my career, 2) benefited others around me, but 3) caused me to lose myself. Well… at 40 I started searching for “ME,” and on June 17, 2019 ALL shackles were released. Whew!! From now on, I’m putting myself first! I deserve it!
Note: Please stop placing so many responsibilities on girls at a young age. It’s okay to teach them to be self sufficient, but also teach them how to take care of themselves. When we know better we must do better. Let’s raise, whole women, not broken women. That’s all!😊
I am enough. Taking care of Shaun. Self care is a must.
Okay… that’s all for today.♥️
Hello!
Confession… Before writing this particular blog, I had written another one. Right in the middle of writing, I heard that that particular message was only for me and not to share it at this time. I am learning that the enemy will often use your own words as fuel to attack you. Listening and learning.
On another note, here are a few memories from July 8th. I had so many memories I wanted to share but will only share a few. Will begin with last year’s and work my way back.

In case you forgot–YOU are enough.♥️

This was in response to a post someone else made–
THIS!! Most people won’t understand. I’m learning more and more that sometimes you just have to be quiet. God’s really been working with me about over sharing. I want to tell EVERYTHING! “Guess what God showed me!” Umm… be quiet Shaun. Lol. I’m so grateful for God’s love and patience. I’m learning.
I still want to tell EVERYTHING! However, I know that I can’t. There are things I must keep sacred.

I am going to end with a quote from a video I saw earlier today. It’s by track star Sha’Carri Richardson–
I’m here to stay. I’m not back, I’m better!
Sha’Carri Richardson after gaining the title for the women’s 100 meter race.
Yes, I am here to stay and I’m better. As I keep saying, this side of 50 is already different. God is good.
That’s all I have for you today. I pray you have a fantastic weekend. Love you!♥️
