“Time is just time. It’s what we do within the time we are given that matters most.” –Moi😊
On April 20, 2026, I shared the following in my post, “My Journey With God, No. 141”—
“I didn’t want to stop posting at Day 1800—I loved the challenge of seeing how far I could go—but I needed to set an endpoint.”
Now, here I am on the other side of the “endpoint,” as I called it—which, by the way, never happened at Day 1800. I’m laughing because to stop posting wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. I woke up every morning after my deadline and kept posting like clockwork. However, on Day 1811 (April 30) I finally ended the streak. Yep… some time around 11:00 PM on April 30th, I made it official. I stopped blogging, disconnected from every social media outlet, including YouTube, and took a much needed break.
For weeks it was just me, those in my close circle and actual presence, and God. Taking the month off was one of the best decisions I’d ever made. It was the most peaceful time I had had in years. It was long overdue.
On June 1st, I returned to blogging and my daily count restarted at Day 1.
So, how did I feel about starting over?
Honestly, I picked back up as if I had never taken a break. The daily count was just a number—that’s all. Ending my streak of posting daily for almost five years didn’t feel like the loss I thought it would. It was just time…
And time continued while I wasn’t blogging. It was the experiences that took place during my break that truly mattered. Nothing was lost from not posting daily. Actually, much more was gained. I became more focused. Conversations were more engaging. Quality time was actually quality time. My time with God increased tremendously. I was able to block out the outside noises and hear from Him, and only Him. And in addition to all of that, I got to love on me more. Yessss! I needed it!
As I said, time is just time. It’s what we do within the time we’re given that truly matters most.
This is all for now. Will talk to you again soon. Have a wonderful day!♥️
I love you,
Shaun
The countdown has officially begun. Less than a week away! Year53 is loading…🥰
What is something you wish you could tell your 20-year-old self?
If I could, I would tell my 20-year-old self to ditch the plan and enjoy life. Enjoy being 20!
Girl… you’re in Germany!
HAVE FUN!!
LIVE!!!
But would I have listened?
Probably not!😂
Gotta love life.♥️
Thought I’d share something a little different than my usual Shaun’s Daily Inspiration posts. Smile
I’m not sure how long WordPress has been providing their “On This Day” feature, but it’s nice, especially since I’m not currently on Facebook to review my daily memories. The “On This Day” feature shares past posts written on a particular day, and on this day two years ago, I shared a post about love which was a reshare of a post I made on June 16, 2022, “Allow Love In.”
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.…
Love
Soooo…
What do you do?
Do you let love in or not?
Thought it’d be fun to ask, so I’m just asking. Smile
At age 52 (soon to be 53🎉), I honestly don’t know the answer to that question. I have technically spent over a decade single—separated from my ex in 2015 and divorced in 2019. Y’all, it just dawned on me that tomorrow I will be 7 years divorced!! Wow!!! Time passes so fast!
Anyhoo… I always say I’m getting married again, but I haven’t even started dating. Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. A few friends have suggested dating apps (tried it before and I logged in and out within 8 hours—couldn’t get into random men looking at my profile😅). I’ve also been advised to get out the house, make eye contact, answer those men in your DMs, stop streaming and go to a physical church, go sit at Starbucks, and the list goes on and on. Lol. My dad believes I’m too mean (I just don’t have time for foolishness), and my uncles know I don’t put up with craziness. One of my uncles recently said, “You cut them off quick.” Now I’m sitting here asking myself— “Do I not give men a chance?” “Am I mean?”😂😂😂 I guess I need to learn how to be a soft girl.🤣🤣🤣
My life…
I know if I don’t want to be 80 or 90 years old and finally finding love, I need to figure something out. My younger advisers say I need to consider dating younger (but not too young). I’ve also been told cowboys are the way to go.🤠 We shall see what happens. Until then, I’ll continue focusing on my inspirations and finding more ways to provide hope, love, and support to those who need it. Maybe that’s where my love and focus are needed at this moment.
I hope you enjoyed today’s post. Listen, if you’re ready, by all means let love in. Life just isn’t the same without doing so.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
Happy Sunday!☀️
Today, I am so grateful and blessed to be alive. Blessed to hear the birds singing. To see the beautiful sunshine. To breathe in fresh air. To have food to eat, water to drink, shelter, transportation, and the ability to move about freely.
Yes, I am blessed.
Ten Days until Year53…
This year’s excitement about my upcoming birthday is quite different. Usually, I’m bubbling with excitement, counting down the days, and imagining what I’ll do. However, the excitement I currently have is more contained. It’s a peaceful excitement. If that makes sense. It’s an excitement of knowing that I’m stepping into another year of wisdom—another year of maturity and growth.
Before I took my break (which I’m now referring to as a short sabbatical), I finally accepted the role as the matriarch of my family. A role that was already mine, but one that I wasn’t ready to accept. Well, I have accepted it, which means I must move differently. I have to be more mindful of what I do and don’t do (because that also matters). I’ll never be all stuffy because I love life too much. However, the way I move through life will change a bit. It’s already changed…for the better. Smile
I know I say it all the time, but I never knew this side of 50 could be so different. I’m thankful for the change. Thankful for God’s love, patience, and grace because they have gotten me to this place. I’m so looking forward to the blessings this side of 50 will continue to bring.

I pray that you have a lovely Sunday! Talk to you later.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
*Embracing my journey with God*
Hey Y’all!
Happy Self-Love Saturday!
I couldn’t decide which one of Shaun’s Daily Inspiration posts to link with today’s post, so I’m linking both!
It’s time to take that leap you’ve been hesitant to take. No more excuses—
“Take The Leap” by Shaun’s Daily Inspiration
The Quote of the Day is—
“If you keep standing on the verge of greatness, you’ll eventually get the opportunity to leap into it.” –Curtis Tyrone Jones
You’ve been standing on the verge long enough—Leap into it!✨
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!♥️
I love you,
Shaun
“God’s Peace calms storms and soothes souls.” –Shaun’s Daily Inspiration
The peace that God gives is nothing like the peace we attempt to create for ourselves. His peace isn’t superficial. It’s not something that can be captured in a photo. His peace is soul deep, and once you’ve experienced it, you never want to live without it.
This morning I’m thankful for my God-given peace.
In less than two weeks, I’ll be 53!!🥰🎉
I already know Year53 will be different because I’m different. As I told my sister-friends (because we’re more than besties☺️), with each decade comes a different level of maturity, wisdom, and desires. Our fifties aren’t meant to be like our forties, and our sixties are not meant to be like our fifties. Change is good. Growth is good. This side of fifty is good.💖
This is all for today. Be sure to check out my newest blog site “Shaun’s Daily Inspiration” for more inspiration and daily quotes.
Wishing you a wonderful day and weekend! May it be filled with lots of love, laughter, and joy.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
“Compassion is an expression of God’s love, and it’s offered freely.” Shaun’s Daily Inspiration
If you’d like to be a beacon of God’s love, start with compassion.🌺
On another note about an expression of God’s love, today I’m celebrating the 8th Anniversary of It’s Shaun’s World! Woohoo!!🎉
Grateful and blessed to have been here for eight years! I pray that throughout the years I have been an expression of God’s love and that I continue to be.
Thank you for supporting me over the years, giving me a safe space to grow, and for allowing me to BE. I truly, truly appreciate you!💕
Wishing you a beautifully blessed day!♥️
I love you always,
Shaun
ALSO….
In two weeks I’ll be 53!!!🎉🎉🎉
I’m so ready. Lol
Moments of Hope by Shaun’s Daily Inspiration
“Moments of hope are found in the memories of smiles, the sounds of laughter, and stories of goodness. It’s those memories, and the anticipation of more like moments, that keep humanity alive. They keep hope alive.”
Today, if only for a moment, remember the smiles, the laughter, the good times, feelings of love, happiness, and joy. They’re not only experiences of the past but a glimpse of more like experiences to come. As songstress Maurette Brown Clark says, “It ain’t over until God says it’s over. Keep fighting until the victory is won…God has the final say.”
It Ain’t Over by Maurette Brown Clark
Remain hopeful.
God has the final say.♥️
