Unconditional Love Begins Within

Happy Self-Love Saturday!

I spent decades yearning for someone to love me for me. To love all of me unconditionally. To love me not only when I was at my best, but when I was at my worst—insecure, unmotivated, feeling ugly, and unsure of myself. To love me when I did not make the best decisions. To love me through both good and bad times. Just to love me.

Well, I have finally realized and accepted I am that person I spent years searching for. I had to learn to love myself not only when I was up, but also when I was down. Had to learn to stop criticizing and beating myself up over mistakes and bad decisions. Yeah, I had to love and accept all of me.

I am so very thankful I finally—took forever—found me.♥️ ~ Shaun

You deserve unconditional love, and there is no better person to give it to you than yourself.♥️

We are history in the making.

Keep shining.

Keep glowing.

Keep loving.

Keep sowing.

Through you, life grows.

You were not meant to carry the world on your shoulders, yet you do. It is what you do without a second thought. Your love and nurturing is invaluable.

This month, we celebrate all of the strong, brilliant and tenacious women who paved the way for us to live in our strengths and truth. This month we celebrate YOU!♥️

Love you,

Expect Great Things To Happen

Look and think beyond what you see. Great things are already happening. Yes, they are ALREADY happening and will continue to happen!♥️

Yes, my first post for today has the same message. Smile. After sharing it here and across my social media platforms, I actually felt the message. It’s one thing to speak/say it and another to feel it. Well, I felt and still feel it, so I am sharing it…again.

Expect great things to happen! Expect it with all your heart and soul. Block the thoughts that you’re only psyching yourself up for disappointment. Baby nawl! NOT TODAY!! From here on out, despite our current situation or what we currently feel and see—keep hope and optimism flowing—great things will happen. Let’s intentionally expect them to happen. Just like I truly believe love conquers all, hope does also. Let’s fill the atmosphere with hope.

Love you!♥️

Shaun

P.S. Couldn’t wait until my schedule time to share. Had to share it now. Listen, God is working and moving. Let’s move with Him.

Wait with expectation!

Hello March: I Am Expecting Great Things To Happen

Could not decide between the two memories so I am sharing both.

Hello March!🌷
New Month
New Blessings
Wishing you a month of peace, love, happiness and blessings.♥️

New Day.
New Month.
Never lower your expectations. Always expect something wonderful to happen!🌸

Never stop expecting great things to happen even when you can’t see or feel anything happening. There was a time when I had stopped expecting anything at all. I had lost all hope. So grateful that time was short lived.

Today, I am expecting great things happen because I know God loves me. I can never lose hope again. Not on this side of 50. I have witnessed too many great things happen in my life and for others to believe I have already received and/or experienced all life has to offer. I know there is so much more to come.

Hello March! I am expecting great things to happen.♥️

Just Felt Like Writing

Today has been one of those steady, long days. Finally settling down and watching Kung Fu Panda 3 with my nieces (a 5 and 2 year old) and nephew (3 years old). I am sitting here trying so hard not to fall asleep. They took a long nap this afternoon so they are wide awake. Y’all, I don’t know how people my age have grandchildren or little ones. I am so used to falling asleep whenever I please. Please pray for me. Lol.

By the way, my sister’s labor and delivery went well. They induced her at 7:30 AM. Then around 10:45 AM she texted me and my sisters to tell us she was ready to start pushing. My nephew was born at 11:03. Had to be one of the smoothest deliveries I ever. He weighed 8 lbs 14 ounces. Her last two weighed a little over 9 lbs and she was induced with them too. Both mom and baby are great. She’ll be home tomorrow.

Anyhoo… As I said, please keep me in your prayers. I am sooo sleepy.

A New Life

In a few hours, I will have another nephew! A leap year baby!! He will be the newest member of our family since my mom passed. I’m excited. Can’t wait to see his little face.

It’s funny how the mind works. Two things came to mind when I wrote the title, a scripture and a song.

The scripture: Revelation 21:5 (NIV)

He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

The song: Boyz II Men’s “On Bended Knees” (the part where they sing about a new life)

I want a new life
And I want it with you
If you feel the same
Don’t ever let it go
You gotta believe in the spirit of love
It’ll heal all things
It won’t hurt anymore

Welcome to my world! I just love how my mind works. Keeps me entertained, for sure.

The message – God is making everything new.

Wish my mom was here to celebrate our newest member. It’s funny that about a month or so before she passed she told us my sister was pregnant, and my sister denied it. My mom only smiled. Well, a few months after she passed we found out my sister was pregnant. She knew. Smiling

Wishing you wonderfully, blessed day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

From The Heart

Last year I shared, “Love and give freely.” When you love and give from your heart—without zero expectations in return—life becomes more beautiful.♥️ ~Shaun

Blessings Without The Struggle

Today’s blog is a short excerpt from my journal entry written on February 28, 2021. At the time, I happened to be listening to Bishop T.D. Jakes’ Sunday morning message, “Give Us An Awakening.” Here’s what I wrote:

Shaun, the gate is going to be open when you get there. You won’t have to push it open, it will just be open.

Listen, I am at a point where I refuse to accept that there will always be some sort of struggle before a blessing is received. I refuse to accept it as truth. There just has to be a time when we walk straight into our blessing(s). No struggle. No pain. Only bliss. And not in the afterlife.

So, today, instead of speaking in future tense, I am speaking as if it is so.

Shaun, you are at the gate. It’s open. Walk through.

Simple.

Walking through.♥️

Take Care,

Shaun
