My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Here’s a caption I wrote on April 7, 2019 when I shared Goldcast’s post of Jeremy Anderson’s video, “Do You Know Your Worth?”.
No matter what happens to you, or how worthless you may feel at times, know that your life has value. You’re here for a reason. God, not man, determines your worth, and to Him, you’re priceless.
Your presence matters. Never doubt your worth. Love you!♥️

It’s interesting that I shared this post four years ago while attending the same conference I’m at today. Ironically, this message is more relevant today than it was then. God has a way of bringing things full circle, even messages.
At the time of the original share, I was in the process of rebuilding trust—in myself, in those around me, and in my ability to achieve my goals and dreams. I honestly thought it would be easy. Little did I know it would take several years and cycles of reflecting, regrouping, refocusing and rebuilding, to get to where I am today.
Today, I trust myself. I trust myself to make wiser choices. I trust myself to take care of Shaun. Yes, I finally realize I matter, too. Don’t know why it took me so long to accept this fact. Guess I owe it all to Year50.
I also have a good group of people around me who I trust; who I know have my best interests at heart. God has been weeding people out while strengthening my current relationships. My circle is getting smaller but growing stronger.
As far as me trusting in my ability to accomplish my goals and dreams, I am there. I know I can. A few blogs ago, I wrote about my confidence being restored. Well, I owe that to actually trusting myself to do what I set out to do. Things have always been moving in the right direction; however, my confidence and trust and belief in myself had to catch up. Took a minute—a long minute to rebuild this one—but it’s all back! Grateful
This is it for now. Wishing you a restful Sunday.♥️
Take Care,
Shaun
Had a very long day today. Went to visit my sister and spent the majority of the afternoon at a nature and wildlife museum and the park. When I tell you those babies can play for hours. Lol. Got home around 8 PM. As soon as I sat down I fell asleep. Baby they wore me out! Just woke up thinking it was at least 4:00 AM and it’s barely midnight here. Not sure what I had dreamed about but I woke up singing “To God Be The Glory” so it must have been a good dream. Smiling
Y’all have a blessed night. About to get ready for bed and go back to sleep. Talk to you in a few hours!
Good Night♥️

Do you believe in second chances? Do you believe that missed opportunities actually come around again? Well, I do. I am currently experiencing it. Had no idea it was about to happen. Know this, the dream(s) God placed inside of you will come to pass…when you are ready. You may have thought you missed your chance or fumbled the first opportunity, but you didn’t. The first time was just a test run. Will share more soon.
Listen, I do not care how tempting it is to settle, or how bleak things may seem, do not give up on your dreams. They will happen.
Be Blessed♥️

Facebook will create reels for you from past stories shared on a particular date. So, instead of sharing one of my Facebook posts from this date, I am sharing the reel it created. Soul II Soul’s “Keep On Movin’” was the recommended song. I removed the sound from the video for this post; however, if you would like to view the reel as shared, feel free to click the link.

Here’s Soul II Soul’s Keep On Movin’. First time hearing it in years! Used to be one of my favorite songs.
Praying you have a wonderful day and peaceful weekend.♥️
Love you,

Being covered means operating from God’s will (not your own), even when no one understands your mission, calling, assignment, or purpose—whichever it may be. It means following God’s lead and being obedient when you are uncertain of the outcome. Stay strong and stay covered.♥️ ~Shaun
Shaun’s Daily Inspiration: April 5, 2022
Smile. God is still working. Whatever He began, He will finish. Hang in there.
It might take years, but God always finishes what He begins. Unlike us, He does not get tired or give up. Even when we have given up, He continues working. So, do not be discouraged by the wait or setbacks. I believe it is His way of making sure we are prepared to properly accept, handle, walk in, and live in the finished product. We have to be ready for it.
Y’all, I am so grateful God is patient and allows us time to process our fears and doubts. That He overlooks the countless times we self-sabotage opportunities because of our feelings of inadequacy. Yes, I am so grateful that He does not allow our egos to win. I don’t know about yours, but I know my ego can be a bit much at times. Grateful He does not give up on us when we have given up on ourselves.
Grateful and blessed.
Remember, whatever God began—even in your childhood—He will finish.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
The Only Way to Gain Real Confidence by Pastor Steven Furtick
Whew!!! This message of Steven Furtick’s just touched my soul. Y’all, it’s everything I am currently experiencing. I wish I could add more context, but I don’t have time. Just know that I had to lose the confidence I once had so that I could connect with God on another level. I didn’t see it then. Didn’t understand it. However, now, I know it was purposeful because the confidence that He’s replaced it with far exceeds what I had before. Now, it’s part of who I am.
Listen, when I tell you God’s messages are right on time!! I just love the way He loves me!♥️ ~Shaun
What’s your overall take on life?
Mine…
Overall, I believe life is beautiful. It has its rough moments, but when I think about it, they have never outweighed the good ones. I have had so many more good times than bad.

How we view life is merely a reflection of what’s in our hearts and souls.♥️
Y’all, yesterday was my first day in years of feeling like I was in my zone. Like I was where I was meant to be, doing what I do best—spreading love and hope. Never knew how much I missed people, especially the students and my colleagues. I also had the opportunity to connect with a few new people. Can’t wait to collaborate with them on upcoming projects. Y’all, I am so excited about where things are headed!
Side Note: Never allow others or bad moments in life to dim your light. Whenever you feel it going out, change your environment with haste. Do not stick around waiting for things or people to change. The longer you wait, the dimmer your light becomes. Keep it glowing!
Well, this is it for now. Praying you have a wonderful day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
If you have been following me for a while, then you will know I love attending conferences—mostly nutrition and public health related. Well, during the pandemic everything changed. Conferences were either canceled or forced to go virtual. Although virtual was a great alternative, it was not the same. I missed physically being in the same rooms with my colleagues. I missed catching up with old friends. I missed meeting and networking with new people.
Even though this will not be my first in-person conference since everything returned to somewhat normal, it is the first one I have felt like myself again. The year before last, I was still trying to get used to the entrepreneurial world. Although I had been consulting on the side for years, I was not very confident or comfortable representing myself or my business without being affiliated with some other entity. I was out there on my own. Y’all, I even received an award that year (because I was actually putting in the work as an entrepreneur), but couldn’t fully accept it because I had not fully accepted the space I was in—if that makes sense. Then last year I was a speaker on a panel but didn’t attend the rest of conference because Momma was sick. So, this year is the first year I truly feel like myself. I already have plans to connect with a few people. I’m excited!
Y’all, it feels so good to be back and…better!!! I can’t wait to see everyone!
Hoping you’re having a wonderful day as well.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
