My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Here’s what I shared six years ago. Don’t pay too much attention to the caption because I have absolutely no idea why I wrote, “All the time.” Smile. However, the messages are in the hashtags and Pastor Joel Osteen’s post.
Believe in the promise, and allow God to do the rest. The promise is coming.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
I decided to go check out what I was doing the day I shared the quote above (March 15, 2021), and now I’m bawling. I began my journal entry with this—
“Today’s Monday. I turned in my letter of resignation on Friday.”
Y’all, I had just taken one of the biggest leaps of my life, and that was to bet on me!!!
I am so proud of myself for taking that leap. I had no idea what life would be like afterwards. I just heard God say it was time, and I moved. Whew!!
I didn’t expect to find all this when I searched my photos for the image above. I just kept hearing, “I woke up like this.” Who knew one image could hold so much meaning. That entire journal entry has me in tears. I did that!! Now, here I am, almost four years later, still doing what I love. Y’all, that was one of the best decisions I ever made, and I did it unafraid. I had absolutely no clue what was to come, and I was completely at peace when I did it, not one ounce of fear or anxiety. That’s how I knew God was in it.
When I tell you God is sooooooo amazing!! So amazing!
Yes, I woke up like this…BLESSED!
Thank you for reading. I pray you woke up feeling the same—Blessed.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Today’s a newly blessed day. Don’t take it for granted. New opportunities and blessings await you. Seize them!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
Today, I am dedicating my first post to my two loves, my hearts—my daughter and son. Never in a million years did I think two wonderful beings could come from me. By no means are they perfect, but they’re perfect for me. Watching them grow from infancy to adulthood has been the honor of my life. I love the people they’ve become. And a bonus is they love me. They actually love me. Y’all, their love is a gift I will always treasure. I am blessed, so very blessed.♥️

Good Morning!☀️
A few months ago, I was given a specific date to take another leap into the unknown. As time crept closer to me taking that leap, I kept playing around with the date until one day when I heard loud and clear, “That’s the date.” I was like, “Okay, I hear You, God,” and did what was asked. I was told that delaying what was asked of me would delay what He was trying to do for me. I took the leap even though I didn’t know and still don’t know how things will work out. I’m not sure what He has in store, but the atmosphere did change as soon as I leaped. Honestly, it changed when I decided to be obedient, which was before I actually leaped.
Be obedient and take the leap! As Pastor Joel Osteen said nine years ago, God will not ask you to give up something without giving you something better in return.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Please keep showing up. I know sometimes it’s easier said than done because, on some days, it’s hard showing up for yourself. But please, keep showing up. The world needs you.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
I’m back! Back with a continuation of my previous post, that is. Smile
In my last post, I wrote, “So, to reconnect ten years later had me wondering why. Why, now?” Listen, when I tell you God is so timely with His answers! I just read my journal entry from December 7, 2014, ten years ago, and all I can say is “Whew!!!” Y’all, I was going through it. My ex-husband and I were on the brink of a divorce and my life was completely chaotic. I wrote how we were down to our last bar of soap and he was talking about getting a new air conditioning system for the house. He had the money I needed for things for the house but wanted me to ask for it. I ended my entry with, “AAaaahhhhhh!!! I wish I could actually scream!!!”
Again…WHEW!!!
There’s no way I could have successfully carried out any project at that time. I was breaking.
As I said a while back, this year has been about opportunities resurfacing. Earlier this year, I was re-elected as the president-elect of my state’s dietetics association. In 2015, in the midst of all the chaos that was happening in my life, I was elected to the same position. Talk about God restoring everything I lost! I carried out all of my terms—pres. elect, president, and past president—but not as successfully as I would have liked. I wasn’t completely there and just couldn’t perform as I wanted to. Now, I’m getting a second chance.
Okay…I’m going to end now. Crying too much—both sad and happy tears. Sad ones for the broken woman I was ten years ago, and happy ones for the woman I am today. Y’all, God is soooooo good!!
Listen, please don’t give up! Where you are today is not final.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Thought I’d add this excerpt from the beginning of my entry from December 7, 2014. I used to refer to all life experiences as adventures, including the bad ones. That was how I was able to cope with life. Had been doing it from childhood. I recently wondered if something was wrong with me because I no longer saw life as an adventure. Now I know why. I no longer need to.☺️
“I really should write a book- The Life of LaShaundrea Bradford. I’ve had a crazy life. It’s been one adventure after another.”
Ha! I guess that “book” is now my blog “It’s Shaun’s World.” Y’all see how God works? Had no idea what He was doing, but He did!
Okay… I’m really done now. Love you!
Good Morning☀️
Be careful not to let your current situation stop you from pursuing your dreams. This is only one small part of your story. As long as you are living, your story continues, and life goes on.

Where you are today is not final. Life does go on.
From several events that happened over the past few days, even to over a week ago, to reading my first blog and celebrating my niece’s graduation yesterday, life does go on. Where we are today is not where we are meant to stay. As long as there’s breath in our bodies we will keep moving.
As I mentioned in a previous blog, I was recently reconnected with someone I wanted to work on a project with ten years ago. Unfortunately, that project never happened. I told my daughter how I wanted to do that project so badly, but nothing ever worked out. I just kept getting the runaround. So, to reconnect ten years later had me wondering why. Why, now? I told her I felt like I had taken a ten-year detour, and now I’m finally back on track. It’s the same with reading my first blog post. There were so many things I had mentioned in that post that never panned out. However, seeing what I had written was like a greeting from God saying, “Welcome back, Shaun!”
Remember, where you are today isn’t where you are meant to stay. So much has happened over the past ten years, so many lessons and experiences—not all good and not all bad. As they say, nothing is ever wasted. Everything was preparing me for this moment and my future.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for being part of my journey. I pray you have a wonderful day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
On this day last year, I shared the following on Facebook—
“Everything always works according to God’s plan, and it always works out better than you imagined. Trust His plan.”
If you’re like me, you have absolutely no idea of what God’s plan entails. So, all you can do is trust Him. With that being said, I do and always will believe that His plans for our lives are greater than anything we’ve ever imagined. I believe this.
Now, let go and trust Him. He’s got you!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
