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
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!♥️
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!
Thanks to Senator Cory Booker’s post this morning, PERSEVERE is the word of the day!
No matter how many setbacks you have, keep trying. No matter how many times you have to restart, keep starting. Keep dreaming. Keep creating. Keep building. PERSEVERE! In time, everything you once dreamed will be your reality.
How many of you were dreamers as a child? Well, I sure was! From designing clothes, cars and houses to becoming an ambassador walking the halls of the United Nations, the list of things I wanted to do or become was endless. Guess what? I still believe I can do and become whatever I want. And so can you! Tap into your inner child and create the life you’ve always dreamed.
Boy, did I have an imagination as a child! I remember when I was around six or seven thinking the world would probably end before I was 13. I imagined having to go into survival mode and the things I would do to survive. My mom had taught me how to crochet so I was going to crochet a pair of sandals and use wood from fallen trees to make the soles. Saw something on Daniel Boone or Little House on the Prairie (television shows) about whittling and tried to teach myself to do it. Baby, I was going to survive off the land! Then, when I got older, there was MacGyver and Knight Rider. By that time, I was no longer in survival mode, I was in my creative mode. I wish they had STEM classes back then. There is no telling what I would have created. I remember drawing this car I named, “Silver Moonlight.” It was a car that could transform into a boat and jet. It was BAAAD (very good 😊)! I just knew that would be my car someday.
I can go on and on about dreams. I had so many. It seems like the older I become, the more dreams I have begun to erase from my list. Not necessarily settling (or am I… hmmm) but making them more realistic. My mind keeps telling me I can have it all, but time is saying otherwise. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying I am old, but some things I just cannot see myself doing at this age like taking a space trip—especially not on what is currently created. Now, if it were my own creation, maybe so.😁
Anyhoo… It’s a little after 4 AM and I’m getting sleepy again. Going to go ahead and post this since it’s close enough to the time. Let’s just call this my sleepy post because I have no idea why I wrote so much. Laughing. Guess I felt like chatting. Well, now I am sleepy.
Wishing all of you a wonderful day! Forgive any typos. I will edit later. Love you!♥️
It’s Shaun’s World
