My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
You may not feel it, might not even believe it, but you were chosen for a reason and this season. God could have chosen anyone else, but He chose you. You already know what you have been called to do. God did not call anyone else to fulfill your purpose. No, He called you. It’s time for you to step up and walk in your calling.♥️ ~Shaun
I haven’t rambled in quite some time. Smile. Y’all, I used to ramble at least every other month. Sometimes several times a month. Guess I had a lot to say back then. Now, life isn’t necessarily boring, but I do not have as much to write about anymore. That’s why I use my Facebook memories for inspiration.
Two years ago, which is when April’s Random Ramblings was written, I was almost a year into posting daily. Now I am on day 1066. Woohoo!! When I tell you I am so proud of myself! It took me several tries before I actually got the hang of it. I was determined to do it for at least a month. Y’all, I was like the blue heart guy. Laughing. Didn’t know it would be so difficult to be that consistent. Sure, I could have written and scheduled several posts in advance, but I wanted to share my thoughts daily. As I said yesterday, you have to keep trying until you see what you dreamed. Well, I did!
Okay… I didn’t necessarily see myself as a blogger; however, I saw myself connecting with the world sharing hope, love, and kindness, and a few life experiences. Making global connections has always been a lifelong dream; and blogging has allowed me to connect. Now, I’m connecting through TikTok and YouTube. My ultimate dream is to sit among leaders and diplomats from different nations and share my thoughts on hope, kindness and compassion. Listen, by the time I’m done, I’m going to have everyone singing my song, “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony).” I can see it! Smile
Anyhoo… I’m running behind this morning so I’m not going to write much more. If you have time, read “April’s Random Rambling’s,” below. Can’t believe it’s been almost two years since my son graduated from high school. Now, I have a young adult who is getting ready to enter his junior year of college, and he’s working. My babies definitely aren’t babies anymore. Life…
Well, that’s all for now. Wishing you a beautiful, peaceful day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Most things nowadays are so fast paced. Before you can get a simple thought out, people have already moved on to something else. I guess that’s just where we are as a society. It’s good to keep up with the flow, but make sure you are not moving so fast that you do not notice the blessings surrounding you. Even when life requires more, slow down enough to embrace your blessings.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Just dropping in to remind you of how good God is. That’s all.
Y’all, there’s no other like Him.
Keep Him close, and keep Him first.♥️

How many dreams have you given up on in your lifetime because they just seem unrealistic, unobtainable, or your time has passed? I don’t know about you, but I have given up on many dreams—too many. Mostly because they had not come the way I imagined they would. They always required work that I was either not prepared to do or didn’t want to do. Yes, dreams take work. Smile. Well, this year, Year50, I had to ask myself if I was going to spend this side of 50 giving up on what I wanted most or go get it. My answer, “Baby, I’m getting everything God has for me!” I am not letting any of the dreams I still have die with me, and I suggest that you don’t either. You cannot afford to let them die. God gave you those dreams, which means you can actually have them if you want them. Now, go get them!♥️ ~Shaun

Don’t give up and never stop believing. You’re closer to your dream than you think.
I rarely check my Facebook memories on my other accounts, but decided to check them just now. Here’s one from my LaShaundreaB account. Trying to hang out on it a little more often.

What would life be like without flaws? I believe our imperfections represent God’s perfection. He never intended for us to be clones or perfect. Today, I encourage you to embrace YOU, the real you, imperfections and all. Believe me, YOU make life exciting!
Just be YOU!♥️

As you can see, I have been creating my own graphics for a while now. Seeing how far I have come makes me smile. I smile because I found something that I really enjoy doing. I smile because I did not stop because my graphics did not look like everyone else’s. For some reason I wanted mine to be just as unique as me. Lastly, I smile because I cannot wait to see what it evolves into. What was once LJB2019 became LJBSmiles, Shaun’s Smile, LaShaundrea, LaShaundreaB, and now Shaun’s Daily Inspiration. I believe Shaun’s Daily Inspiration is the one I am going to stick with.
Here is what I wrote on the day that I created the graphic.
Facebook Memory: April 8, 2019
Good Morning! This morning I decided to create my own social media find.😉 We’re all different. We are like pieces of a puzzle. Our unique gift/talent is needed to complete the puzzle. So don’t sleep on your gift because it’s needed. Always remember, YOU matter. You have a purpose.
My gifts and talents are definitely unique to me and provide something only I can. This is me fitting perfectly in the space God designed just for me.
Wishing you a wonderful week! Don’t let too much stress you out. If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed, take a break and breathe. You deserve a stress free life.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Had a very long day today. Went to visit my sister and spent the majority of the afternoon at a nature and wildlife museum and the park. When I tell you those babies can play for hours. Lol. Got home around 8 PM. As soon as I sat down I fell asleep. Baby they wore me out! Just woke up thinking it was at least 4:00 AM and it’s barely midnight here. Not sure what I had dreamed about but I woke up singing “To God Be The Glory” so it must have been a good dream. Smiling
Y’all have a blessed night. About to get ready for bed and go back to sleep. Talk to you in a few hours!
Good Night♥️

Facebook will create reels for you from past stories shared on a particular date. So, instead of sharing one of my Facebook posts from this date, I am sharing the reel it created. Soul II Soul’s “Keep On Movin’” was the recommended song. I removed the sound from the video for this post; however, if you would like to view the reel as shared, feel free to click the link.

Here’s Soul II Soul’s Keep On Movin’. First time hearing it in years! Used to be one of my favorite songs.
Praying you have a wonderful day and peaceful weekend.♥️
Love you,

Shaun’s Daily Inspiration: April 5, 2022
Smile. God is still working. Whatever He began, He will finish. Hang in there.
It might take years, but God always finishes what He begins. Unlike us, He does not get tired or give up. Even when we have given up, He continues working. So, do not be discouraged by the wait or setbacks. I believe it is His way of making sure we are prepared to properly accept, handle, walk in, and live in the finished product. We have to be ready for it.
Y’all, I am so grateful God is patient and allows us time to process our fears and doubts. That He overlooks the countless times we self-sabotage opportunities because of our feelings of inadequacy. Yes, I am so grateful that He does not allow our egos to win. I don’t know about yours, but I know my ego can be a bit much at times. Grateful He does not give up on us when we have given up on ourselves.
Grateful and blessed.
Remember, whatever God began—even in your childhood—He will finish.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
