Embrace Who You Are

Shaun Bradford
One of my first graphics. LJB2019

As you can see, I have been creating my own graphics for a while now. Seeing how far I have come makes me smile. I smile because I found something that I really enjoy doing. I smile because I did not stop because my graphics did not look like everyone else’s. For some reason I wanted mine to be just as unique as me. Lastly, I smile because I cannot wait to see what it evolves into. What was once LJB2019 became LJBSmiles, Shaun’s Smile, LaShaundrea, LaShaundreaB, and now Shaun’s Daily Inspiration. I believe Shaun’s Daily Inspiration is the one I am going to stick with.

Here is what I wrote on the day that I created the graphic.

Facebook Memory: April 8, 2019

Good Morning! This morning I decided to create my own social media find.😉 We’re all different. We are like pieces of a puzzle. Our unique gift/talent is needed to complete the puzzle. So don’t sleep on your gift because it’s needed. Always remember, YOU matter. You have a purpose.

My gifts and talents are definitely unique to me and provide something only I can. This is me fitting perfectly in the space God designed just for me.

Embracing who God designed me to be and evolving.

Wishing you a wonderful week! Don’t let too much stress you out. If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed, take a break and breathe. You deserve a stress free life.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You Are Priceless

Shaun Bradford

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!♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: April 7, 2022

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.

I originally shared this photo on April 7, 2018.

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

To God Be The Glory

Shaun Bradford

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♥️

Second Chances

Shaun Bradford
Blessed.🙏🏽

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♥️

Keep On Moving

Shaun Bradford

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.

Facebook Stories: April 6, 2023

Much needed reminders.

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,

Shaun
