My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Y’all, I’m still singing Koryn Hawthorne’s song, “Look at God.”
“Sitting here counting my blessings…”
Whew!
Despite all the craziness I’ve been through, my blessings outweigh the bad. I can’t help but be in awe of God and His love for me. It’s like nothing I have ever experienced. I pray that you’ve experienced the same.
Love you!♥️
Shaun
Blessed.♥️
When I tell you God KNOWS just what we need when we need it! I needed this message below to kick off today’s celebration.🎉
“Leave No Crumbs” by Sarah Jakes Roberts
Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts’ (SJR) words reminded me that I’m not who I used to be. I’m no longer the person I was ten years ago, not even a year ago (yeah…my life is transitioning fast). As she suggested in her message, the self-preservation method I was using before is no longer effective for where God is taking me. It’s time for me to let it go, stop resisting the change, and embrace the newest version of myself so I can move forward. I’ve been feeling this a lot lately. I just needed to hear it, and hear it clearly.
I’m listening, God! I’m ready for where you’re taking me!
Forever grateful and beyond blessed to experience and reside in God’s love.♥️

This weekend, I was told that nothing seems to bother me and that I’m always calm. Well, if you read my post from yesterday, “Look At God,” you’d know that’s not entirely true. Things do bother me, but I have learned not to dwell on them and to keep moving. It’s called moving and living in a space of peace.
Here’s what I have learned over the years. Peace is not something you can buy, nor can it be masked and displayed for others to see. True peace happens within. There’s this calmness you feel inside—even when chaos surrounds you and your mind begins to worry (yes, it still happens—you’re human)—this deep peace within never wavers. That’s the peace I’m referring to. It’s that peace only God can give! Listen, once you have it, you’ll do whatever you must to protect it.
Protect your peace.♥️
Love you much,
Shaun
Here’s a little encouragement for today. Know that you WILL receive beauty for your ashes. Your tears and pain were not in vain. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun
Happy Sunday! I hope your weekend has been just as lovely as you.🥰
Here’s what I shared on this day four years ago—
Claim it.
Receive it.
Walk in it.
It’s YOURS!♥️
I love you always,
Shaun
Today’s affirmation:
Everything I touch is and will be blessed because I am blessed.
Sending you blessings and love.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
On March 28, 2019, I began my journal entry with—
“Note to future LaShaundrea: I love you.”
Can’t help but cry.
Shaun… LaShaundrea, I love YOU! I love you for life. I love the little girl, teenager, young adult, and now seasoned adult you’ve become, and the wise elder you will be. Yes, I love ALL of YOU.
Many thanks to my past self for leaving that message for me. I have a notification on my phone set at different times throughout the day that says, “Smile. I love you.” I set them to remind me to smile and know I am loved. Well, now it’s just something that pops up and I swipe away. However, seeing this today means so much more. I needed to see it today.
Thank you, past Shaun, for sending love to me today, of all days. Smiling while crying. The fact that I didn’t send it to future Shaun, but to future LaShaundrea is mind blowing. Although we’re the same person, we are not the same. LaShaundrea needs the love today.
Y’all, welcome to my world, where I leave messages for my future self.
I love my life. I used to wonder, and still do at times, why God created me the way He did. I believe the answer is because He loves me, and He loves what He created.
I love you!♥️
Shaun/LaShaundrea
Just when you are about to give up, He nudges you to hold on just a little longer. Then, He steps in and makes everything alright.
I am so grateful and blessed that He loves me.♥️
Good Morning☀️
When I tell you the following Facebook memory gave me chills! Whew!!
When I shared this post four years ago, I had just taken a giant leap of faith. Today, I’m finally beginning to see the fruits of that leap. God set the stage. All I had to do was make things happen.
In a few hours, I’m giving another nutrition presentation. This one includes a cooking demo—grilled honey-lime salmon with pan roasted vegetables (both low-sodium). Then, tomorrow and Saturday, it’s conference time. Yay!
Y’all, I am so grateful God didn’t give up on me and kept my dreams alive. I am truly blessed.🙏🏽
That’s all for now. I pray your day is just as amazing as you are!♥️
Je t’aime,
Shaun
