Are You Doing What You Love?

Shaun Bradford

Think about it. I mean, really think about it. Are you doing what you love? Not only career wise but in life. Or…are you waiting for conditions to be right or better before you decide to do it?

It’s my hope that you are doing what you love and that you absolutely love what you are doing. Sometimes we find ourselves doing what we love but because we are not in the right environment our experiences are not favorable. Been there.

I hope you are doing both. If not, I pray you will be soon. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

Life is too short not be doing both.

Gotta Get This Out

Shaun Bradford

Trying to hold it together. A wave of emotions just hit me and I am trying not to cry. Was going to write about it tomorrow but I need to write about it now. First off, it’s nothing bad. Smile

Sooo… My daughter is moving to another state tomorrow. This has been in the works for some time, and now that time is here. Gotta love on her all day. When I tell you my kids and I are so close! We have never been more than minutes away from each other unless we’re traveling.

Listen, my baby girl has been with me since conception. I almost got put out of the military because I refused to take orders to Turkey unless she could go with me. I was advised against it. Was advised to leave her with my mom, but I couldn’t. She was mine and my responsibility. She went with me and we made it! I am so happy I made that decision because she still remembers her experience. The only time I had to leave her was when I was activated (Air National Guard) after 9-11. But even then, I was only an hour and a half away from her. I could see her at any time. Y’all, she’s my heart.

I know it sounds like I do not want her to leave, but that’s quite the opposite. To me it’s long overdue, but timing is everything. I guess she gets her patience and instincts from me—watching and learning what and what not to do. Laughing. I am so happy for her! However, I am definitely going to miss her presence, her hugs, and our passionate debates about politics, religion and pretty much any topic under the sun. She’s my horoscope advisor. Always telling me where my moon is or what’s rising. Listen, I have absolutely no clue what any of it means, but I love hearing her talk about it. All I know is I am a Cancer—a true Cancer is what she calls me. Y’all, she’s my sounding board. She’s brutally honest and keeps me on my toes. And I love every minute of it!! Every time I see her I smile. God blessed me with her. Never in a million years could I have expected to love so deeply and be loved as she loves me—as both of my two do. I am actually a mother!! Can’t stress it enough. I am truly, truly blessed!

Anyhoo…

I am so happy for her. And soooo very proud of her. Now I have another place to visit. Smiling

God is good. Just had to get that out.

Live, Laugh, Love, and Be Kind

Shaun Bradford

I believe the secret to a good life consists of actually living it; laughing often (gotta laugh); loving wholeheartedly; and being genuinely kind to others (not for show). Here’s what I shared two years ago.

Facebook Memory: January 23, 2024

Smile, if you’re already here. If this is how you’re living. If you are not here, get here quickly. This is where peace resides.

Live: Stay present!

Laugh: Your soul needs it.

Love: Unconditionally – it’s the secret of true peace and happiness.

Be Kind: EVERYONE’s struggling with something. No one’s exempt.

Focus on who & what truly matters and let the rest go. Life is short, spread LOVE!♥️ #ILoveYou

Again, spread love. Everyone needs love, even those we do not believe deserve it—they need it. Approaching them with hate only adds hate to your heart. Also, add hope. Whenever possible, add a little bit of hope to your conversations. Give people something to look forward to even if you cannot see it. Listen, hope goes a long way. It keeps life going.

That’s all I have for now. Wishing you a beautifully, blessed day.

Enjoy!♥️

The Good Times

Shaun Bradford

Yesterday, I could not decide which Facebook memory to share so I didn’t share one. Well, instead of sharing my “Hello Sunday” on my social media accounts, I decided to share this memory. It’s a day later, but worth sharing.

Facebook Memory: January 21, 2023

Much too often we remember hurts and disappointments before we remember the good. Today, I encourage you to focus on the good times. The moments that made you smile and feel loved. Have a wonderful day.♥️

Always hold your good memories close and dear.

Praying you have a blessed day and joyful week. May God shower you with unexpected blessings.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
