Today is Monday, August 22. What I’m wishing for myself today is the same thing I am wishing for you – a lifetime of love, peace and prosperity. Be blessed.♥️ ~ Shaun

Hello Sunday
It’s 3:00 AM and I haven’t been to sleep yet. Ugh!! One day I’ll follow my sleep schedule.
Anyway.. I just read my journal entry from this date a year ago, August 21, 2021. I’m smiling because my life actually follows a certain pattern. Y’all, I never realized this until a few days ago after reading several entries from the same date but different years. When I say I’m amazed! And quite amused too. Laughing. Y’all, my life is so interesting. It’s definitely Oscar worthy. My daughter says it’s my Cancer energy. That my life and behaviors are true to my sign. Whatever…
Honestly, I believe it’s God’s way of keeping me entertained and grounded while helping me become the woman I’m meant to be. It’s taken years, but I can finally see and feel God working. And it’s such a wonderful feeling.
Okay.. I need to go to sleep. Have to be up in a few hours to attend a conference. Yesterday’s sessions were pretty good! So good that I created a YouTube channel. More info to come!
Well, good night/morning. Wishing you an awesome day.

Time
When we were younger, we believed we had all the time in the world to do those little things we knew were significant but found insignificant at the moment. Things like living healthier and cultivating meaningful relationships. They were always at the back of our minds, or on our to-do lists, but somehow they never quite became a priority.
Unfortunately, we cannot turn back the hands of time. Those health issues that could have been prevented are now being managed. Relationships that could have worked, or been better, are either long gone or beyond repair. Sadly, time didn’t wait until we were ready. However, the good news is we are still here and have the opportunity to make wiser choices.
Listen, time isn’t stopping nor is it slowing down. So if there is something or someone you value, make it or them a priority. It’s so important that we take advantage of the time we already have, not the time we believe you have. Be sure to make every moment count.♥️ ~ Shaun
Blessed & Favored
I can hear the Clark Sisters singing–
“Never let a day go by and not realize we are blessed. Don’t take it for granted that we are here today. Just know we’re blessed and highly favored.”
I can undoubtedly say that I AM blessed and favored– highly favored. And so are you!♥️ ~ Shaun
Rejoice
Rejoice – to feel or show great joy or delight
Yes, I’m blogging! Today is Day 460.
When I woke up this morning, the first thing I did was open my iPad and start drawing. While drawing, the word “Rejoice” came to mind and I immediately knew it was the word/quote for today. It was a word that needed to be shared.
Today, I’m rejoicing because I’ve decided to continue moving forward with blogging daily. Yes.. I’m celebrating my decision. Y’all, I remember how I struggled to blog for 100 consecutive days, then 150. When I made it to 200 days, I really wanted to quit. Believe me, the struggle was real. However, I kept going. Now, blogging daily is like second nature. So going back and starting over just isn’t an option. I have to keep going.
It’s what I’m meant to do.
Rejoicing!
Shaun
Wednesday Writings
Decided to use the quote that initially accompanied the graphic. It’s a much needed reminder that I control the pen that’s writing my story.
Lately, I’ve been warring between disconnecting so that I can fully recharge or staying connected so that I won’t lose connections. There’s this fear of starting over and disappointing others that has me hesitant to disconnect, yet I know it’s necessary.
Today will be my 459th consecutive blog. Believe me, ending this streak is one of the most difficult decisions I have to make. And social media… Listen, I can’t even begin to describe how difficult it’s going to be logging off social media. Sadly, it’s become an integral part of my life. Y’all, I have upcoming events and community information to share on Mississippi Thriving. I have content to post for Nutrition with LaShaundreaB. Daily posts for Shaun’s Daily Inspiration. Morning greetings for my sistas in We Are Sistas. Sunday tweets with my e-church family during Sunday service. Shows and movies to promote. Issues to support. Y’all, there’s so much that I do– that I LOVE doing– that I’m finding it difficult to take a break from. Honestly, I feel like I’m abandoning my friends, followers and community– as if I’m abandoning my tribe.
Side Note: I believe I have blogged about this before, but until recently (like a year or so ago), I suffered from abandonment issues. I always felt like those I cared about most would abandon me. Well, it’s the same way I feel about disconnecting to recharge. Even though I know I’m not abandoning anyone, I don’t want them to feel as if I am. I know that probably sounds a bit crazy, but the fear of abandonment so real.
Well, with everything said…
Y’all, I need to press pause and take an indefinite break. I need to take a moment to fully recharge. Operating on half empty just isn’t working anymore. I know it may sound like farewell, but it’s not. I assure you that I will return.
Please take care of yourself!
Love you always,
Shaun
