Just Asking

Do you believe in what you’re believing for?

The first step is to believe in what you are believing for. The next is knowing that you will have it. The final step is obtaining it.

The goal is to get from believing to obtaining.

Where are you in the process of having what you’re believing for?

Just asking.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I truly hope you’re doing well.🌸


Last night, I watched the BET Awards. I’m not sure how others felt while watching it, but this year’s ceremony seemed different—not necessarily different in a bad way, but in an eerily good way. Maybe it was because they were celebrating BET’s 45th Anniversary and I’m old enough to remember what I was doing 45 years ago, or because they celebrated a few 90s music icons who are all around my age. Hmm…

When I think about it, it felt more like a family reunion where one generation was passing the torch to another—and I happen to be in that generation of torch passers. Overall, the entire event was very emotional and felt more significant than past awards shows. If I could sum it up, I would say the mood was, “We are all we’ve got.”

There was one quote that stood out last night that I am still feeling the importance of this morning—

“Don’t let your worry be greater than your faith.” – Tyler Perry

Let that sink in…

Our faith must be stronger than our worries. It’s the only way we are going to make it. It’s the only way we have made it.


I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love, peace, joy, and laughter.

On another note …

I will be 52 in two weeks!🎉

Yesterday, it dawned on me that I could have been counting down the weeks from the day I turned 51. My theme could have been “52 in 52 Weeks!”

By the way, besides dropping gems of wisdom, my fav just dropped another hit series on us, “Divorced Sistas”! It’s streaming on BET+. Check it out!

Okay… I’m done. Please take care of yourself and live life to the fullest. Don’t take a second for granted. Not one.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Release LOVE

Singing Commissioned’s “Love Isn’t Love.”

“Love isn’t love till you’ve given it away. It’s just waiting to be given; all bitterness erased. …

What good will love do you if you keep it to yourself. Somebody needs to receive it from you so give it to somebody else.”


Release into the world what you desire to receive back.

Release LOVE.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

Beyond Measure

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I hope and pray you’re doing well.🌸


It truly is a blessing to be spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically well. Not everyone can say this. Not even those who appear to have it all.

I’m blessed.

And…

So are YOU!

Amen

I pray you have a fabulous day and the most wonderful week. May it be filled with lots of love, joy, peace, and laughter.♥️

I love you,

Fell Asleep Too Early

I fell asleep much too early. Now, I’m up singing—

“God has smiled on me. He has set me free. Oh God has smiled on me. He’s beed good to me.”

God has indeed been good to me.

Forever thankful.

Forever grateful.

Beyond blessed.

Amen

Progress Is Progress

I shared the following image and quote six years ago (June 8, 2019).

Here’s what I shared last year when I reposted it:

Progress has definitely been slow, but continuous. Had a few setbacks but I kept going, and will keep going.


That was last year. I’ve learned that as long as I know I’m moving forward, other people’s opinions and thoughts don’t matter. I’m moving and operating in God’s timing, according to His plan, and within His purpose.

Know that progress is progress. Stay focused on what God is doing in YOUR life and keep moving forward. You got this!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I hope you’re doing well.


With the help of my Facebook memory from last year (June 8, 2024), I’m going to keep this one short and sweet.

The message…

Keep pursuing your dreams! Your purpose is much too great for you to settle.

That’s it!

I pray that you have a beautifully blessed day filled with love, joy, laughter, and peace.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Your Purpose Is Unique

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I hope you’re well.🌸


As I stated two years ago, your purpose is unique and connected to something you do effortlessly. Pursuing your purpose will lead to a more fulfilling life.


I pray you have a fabulous self-love Saturday. May it be filled with love, joy, and blessings.♥️

I love you much,

My Fav

Listen!! Let me brag on my fav, Mr. Tyler Perry!! Gotta give him his roses!🌹

I have watched every movie, show, and play he’s created (yes…I’m a fan—Lol), but this last movie, STRAW, has to be one of my favorite movies yet! I love his other movies, but this one pulled at my heartstrings. Whew! Y’all know I love my babies, and this one was about a mother’s love for her daughter. Didn’t know I would cry as much as I did. I felt Janiyah’s (Taraji P. Henson—the mother and main character) pain. It was the pain of a mother not being able to properly provide for her baby. It’s a pain I know all too well. Not only personally, but also from watching my mom struggle when we were kids.

And, that ending!

Whew!!!

Y’all, I lost it at the end!

Phenomenal acting by Taraji P. Henson, Sherri Shepherd, and Teyana Taylor. They did their thing!! Queens!

And while watching Straw, I was also watching clips from the red carpet premiere of his new BET+ series that’s coming out next week, “Divorced Sistas.” Y’all already know I’m watching it!!

Listen, besides watching God work, I absolutely love watching Tyler Perry work. Y’all, he’s making dreams come true. To me, it’s his way of giving back, and I’m here for it!


I guess I’ll go to sleep now, but honestly, I’m too hyped to go to sleep.

God is good.

Good night, y’all!♥️

I love you,

Shaun
