I Love You
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!♥️

God Is So Amazing
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.♥️
Chills!
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
Breathe… You’ve Got This
Breathe… You’ve got this. And God’s got you.
Love you!♥️

Things That Make You Go Hmmm…
As Arsenio Hall used to say, “Things that make you go ‘Hmmm’.”
Found this amongst my handy-dandy saved photos. It seems like my photos are creating their own stories nowadays.🙃 As you can see, love was on my mind at 1:48 AM. Really?! Y’all, I’m cracking up. Seriously… at one o’clock in the morning, I was writing the word “Love.” The sun is cute, though. Why am I hearing, “Sunny days, everybody loves them? Tell me, baby, can you stand the rain?” I guess that’s the adult version of “Sunny Days.” See previous post.
On a serious note, though. I truly love life, even the craziness of it all—which wasn’t always the case. I believe me having a near death experience changed everything. You see, several years ago, I had a car accident not even 30 minutes after thinking I no longer wanted to be here. Yeah… I was so done with life that I wanted to be gone. It was only a thought. Then, the accident happened. Since then, I cherish life and everything that comes with it. Bad times happen. The hurts and disappointments haven’t stopped, but I’m still here! I’m still here! I would have missed out on soooo much had I not lived. Y’all, I’m still here!
Think I’ll end now. I’m not sure if I’ll share a mid-morning post or if this will be it. If I don’t, I’ll talk to you this afternoon.
Love you!♥️
Shaun
Since I mentioned sunny days, here’s “Can You Stand The Rain” by my all time favorite male RnB group, New Edition (#NE4Life!!).
“Can You Stand The Rain?” by New Edition
When No One Is Watching
Who are you when no one is watching?
Does kindness and goodness authentically flow through and from you?
Are you loving and compassionate?
Are you humble and trustworthy?
Are you a peacekeeper or a drama creator?
Is revenge or forgiveness the first thing you think of when mistreated?
Is your relationship with God a priority, somewhere between, or last on your list?
Who are you when no one is watching?
I don’t know about you, but I always strive to be who I say I am because if no one else is watching, God is always watching.♥️
Love you much,
Shaun
I’m Here, Part 2
Y’all, God is so good! Yesterday, when I shared my “I’m Here” post, I had no idea Bishop T. D. Jakes had preached a similar message on Wednesday. As I said yesterday, the image and message I shared was based on me searching through my pictures on my phone for the word “here.” I had no idea there was so much more God wanted to share with me. Whew!!
Since God shared this message with me, I’m sharing it with you. I hope it blesses you as much as it blessed me.♥️
Y’all, I’m STILL here!!
Sustainable Outcomes: Still Here by Bishop T.D. Jakes
My Journey With God, No. 77
Good Morning☀️ It’s Self-love Saturday and I decided to sleep in.😌 I hope you decided to do the same.💕
Here’s what I wrote six years ago—
When I tell you this Facebook memory is so timely! Although it’s been six years, I feel it more than ever today. You see, next Saturday, I will be attending our state’s annual dietetics conference, where I will be introduced as the incoming president for 2025–2026.
Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel at the moment. Seems like I have been going nonstop since taking on the role of president-elect. So much has changed since I was last president (2016–2017), and even more is changing now that our government is moving in a different direction. We are a nonpartisan organization and have to move as such. Meaning, my personal feelings and opinions have to take a backseat during this ride. It’s a lot, but I’m up for the challenge. As I have asked myself so many times throughout my adult life, “How did I get here?” Laughing. My life and its adventures. As Mario from Mario Bros. would say, “Here we go!”
Honestly, who would have thought I wasn’t done with this part of my life? If I didn’t know it then, I can certainly say it now, this role is a significant part of my dream and future endeavors. I’m not sure where God is taking me—ONLY He knows—but I’m here for it!♥️
Stay tuned…
Shaun
