Woke up singing, “I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”
God is so good.
God’s praise shall continually be in my mouth. Amen
I’m still on a high from my birthday weekend and my actual birthday. Will share pics from yesterday later. My sisters are coming to town today. So I get to celebrate some more! Yay, Me!!☺️🎉
I pray you have a wonderfully, blessed day. May it be filled with love, laughter, joy, and peace.♥️
I finally looked at my Facebook memories from past birthdays. Here are a few that made my heart smile.
Facebook Memories:
My brother was creating digital art 14 years ago. He created this for my birthday. I miss him.🕊️Even when it doesn’t seem beautiful, it’s beautiful.Forever grateful.🥰My beautiful momma. This morning, I had a hard time writing my first post because I was missing her so badly. I wish she could be here with me. I’m so glad I have memories like this. They’re my treasures.♥️Six years ago, I celebrated my birthday with kids at a summer camp. My heart was full.
Now, I’m getting ready to go make more memories with my son. Today is his day with me.☺️
Thanking God for allowing me to see another beautiful birthday.
Thankful for 52 years of life.
Fifty-two…
Over the past few weeks, I’ve contemplated this year’s theme for Year 52. I kept hearing the words “favor,” “overflow,” and “grace.” So, today, I decided to include all three. Since there are 52 weeks in a year, I am declaring 52 weeks of favor, overflow, and grace over my life!
When I reached 1,400 days of posting, I mentioned that I wanted to do something special to commemorate my 1,500th day. So, I decided to create an Instagram account for Shaun’s Daily Inspiration.
For my 1,000th day, I created a YouTube channel for Shaun’s Daily Inspiration, which allowed me to incorporate music into my posts. However, I had to create Shorts to do so. With Instagram, I can add music to my posts without having to create a reel or story, and I love it! As you’ll see in the video below, I’ve also updated the look of my graphics.
Here’s a glimpse at Shaun’s Daily Inspiration on Instagram.
My Bio says: Releasing into the world everything I desire to receive back—love, hope, peace, kindness, and inspiration. Allowing God’s glory to shine through me.✨
As you can see, my new look is the overall look on the landing page. However, I also kept the old look (with my artwork)—those can be found under my “Tags.”
I usually share the same posts here on my blog. However, if you would like to hear the music I chose to accompany the posts, you can find it on Instagram.
I always say I absolutely love the way God loves me, and I do!! I was beyond excited when I discovered my 1,500th day of posting fell on the day before my birthday. Who knew?! What a beautiful gift to me. I am truly beyond blessed.🌺🥰
“Shaun’s World” was the original name of my blog. I’m not sure when I changed it to “It’s Shaun’s World.” A couple of days ago, I celebrated my 7th Anniversary of blogging. I hadn’t realized I had been blogging for so long.
On June 11, 2018, I wrote the following in my journal—
“I launched my birthday blog early. I was bored and had things to share. It’s called “Shaun’s World.” It’s me and all of my quirkiness. I needed this outlet. I’ll see how long I can keep this up.”
I started this blog to commemorate my 45th birthday, but as I mentioned, I launched it early. I needed an outlet besides Twitter and Facebook to express myself without being completely judged. Thank you for allowing me this space.
Here’s what I shared in my first post on June 9/10, 2018 (there are two different dates on the post).
Ha! I had published this same blog on my old site. That site is being deactivated. So follow me on this site. My new site.
Welcome to the world of random thoughts, inside jokes and carefree writing. Yes, it’s Shaun’s World!
This site isn’t meant to be stuffy or too serious because all of that is pretty boring. It takes too much thought and time to create those sites (been there, done that) when all I want to do is share.
So, be warned, grammatical errors will happen; corny jokes will be told; heartfelt and meaningless stories will be shared and life will go on.
Again, welcome to Shaun’s World!
Muah! #Year45
Again, thank you for allowing me this space to freely express myself and be ME. I truly appreciate YOU!
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.♥️
It’s Shaun’s World
