There’s Greatness In You

Shaun Bradford

What a day this has already been!

Woke up to my first scheduled posts on Shaun’s Daily Inspiration displaying incorrectly on the reader’s feed. After Googling how to remove the statement that was attached to the post (was supposed to be the post’s text) and going through the process of removing it, this was what I ended up with…

It took me over an hour to get everything straight (ran into another issue while using the code editor). Very long sigh…

This is a screenshot of the feed after the post was republished…

Now, here’s what’s currently displayed…

Whew!!! Smiling as I write, y’all, THIS is my life. Gotta love it!

Here’s today’s post.

Greatness

There’s greatness inside of you. You may not see it yet, but so many others do. In the right light, you’ll see it too. Signed and sealed with love,…

Greatness

I added a reflection section, “Let’s Pause & Reflect,” at the end of the post. After the morning I’ve had, I guess I’ll be the first to finish the following statement:

“I didn’t always see it, but one great thing about me is …”

Y’all, one great thing about me is that my level of patience is extremely high.

I have been told many times that I have a lot of patience, especially by my older people, but I see it as me providing them with assistance or doing my job.

Today I saw that patience… or maybe it’s persistence. Having an “Aha” moment.

Thinking about several matters I worked on over the past few weeks, even yesterday—my birthday, and even moments ago (just got off a call)—I refuse to stop until an issue is resolved. So maybe it’s a little bit of both, patience and persistence.

Anyhoo… This problem is somewhat resolved. I still need to play around with a few more things to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

By the way, today’s Quote of the Day has posted, so I guess I’ll include it too. Honestly, it’s very fitting for this moment—

“This is your moment. Seize the opportunity to be great.” –Eric Thomas

And I did!😊

Sooo… how’s your day going so far?😅

I hope it’s going great and has been less eventful. Talk to you later!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

53… Such A BIG Number

Shaun Bradford

Today has been pretty quiet, which is what I wanted.

Calm.

Peaceful.

Quiet.

Several times today, I found myself telling people “53 is such a BIG number.” One of my sisters agreed. She said “yeah, it’s close to 55.”

Honestly, I don’t feel like I’m in my 50s. I feel closer to my late twenties, early thirties. But… I’m 53.

Hmmm…

Not really sure what to make of this number.

Think I’ll just let it be…

a number.

Ending my first day/night as a 53 year old with gratitude.🙏🏽

Wishing you a peaceful night.♥️

Signed and sealed with love,

Shaun

Year 53

Shaun Bradford

Today is my birthday, and I am blessed to be here, to be ALIVE!!🎉

My prayer for this year and years to come is to be covered and completely surrounded by God’s love, goodness, and grace.

My scripture for this year is Psalm 23:6—

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”

Wishing you a wonder-filled day!☺️ May yours be just as joyous as mine.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Roasted Mini Sweet Peppers

Shaun Bradford

My daughter texted me and asked how I roasted my mini sweet peppers, and I responded with “Glad you asked!”

You want to know why?!

It’s because I already had a video on roasting sweet peppers.

“Roasted Mini Sweet Peppers” –Nutrition with LaShaundreaB (October 30, 2022)

This was my first YouTube short on my Nutrition with LaShaundreaB channel. I launched my new channel exactly one week before my mom was admitted to ICU (launch date: August 20, 2022; mom admitted: August 27, 2022).

Life and its memories…

I’m not sad.

But I do miss my mom.♥️

My Journey With God, No. 143

Shaun Bradford

What’s your top tip to be successful in life? Today, I still journal several times a day. What I’ve learned over the years is that for me to be …

Reflect and Make The Necessary Changes

Above is the post I made not to long ago. It’s my answer to one of the Daily Prompts. I’ve been awake for a couple of hours. Nothing’s wrong, just preparing for the day/week. I’ve finally learned to work with my internal clock not against it. I’m my most productive during the wee hours of the morning, so why keep fighting it? Smile

I’ve been thinking a lot about a theme for my 53rd birthday year (Year53). I always set one right before or on my birthday. However, I believe I’m not going to set one this year. I’m just going to let Year53 be what it will be.

Anyhoo…

I’m about to rollover and go back to sleep before my real day gets started. But before I do, I just want to thank God for life—for my life. I am truly blessed. Amen

Wishing you a wonderful day and a blessed week.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday (282)

Shaun Bradford

Happy Sunday!☀️

Today, I am so grateful and blessed to be alive. Blessed to hear the birds singing. To see the beautiful sunshine. To breathe in fresh air. To have food to eat, water to drink, shelter, transportation, and the ability to move about freely.

Yes, I am blessed.

Ten Days until Year53…

This year’s excitement about my upcoming birthday is quite different. Usually, I’m bubbling with excitement, counting down the days, and imagining what I’ll do. However, the excitement I currently have is more contained. It’s a peaceful excitement. If that makes sense. It’s an excitement of knowing that I’m stepping into another year of wisdom—another year of maturity and growth.

Before I took my break (which I’m now referring to as a short sabbatical), I finally accepted the role as the matriarch of my family. A role that was already mine, but one that I wasn’t ready to accept. Well, I have accepted it, which means I must move differently. I have to be more mindful of what I do and don’t do (because that also matters). I’ll never be all stuffy because I love life too much. However, the way I move through life will change a bit. It’s already changed…for the better. Smile

I know I say it all the time, but I never knew this side of 50 could be so different. I’m thankful for the change. Thankful for God’s love, patience, and grace because they have gotten me to this place. I’m so looking forward to the blessings this side of 50 will continue to bring.

I pray that you have a lovely Sunday! Talk to you later.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

God’s Timing, Life

It’s Time To Take That Leap!

Shaun Bradford

Hey Y’all!

Happy Self-Love Saturday!

I couldn’t decide which one of Shaun’s Daily Inspiration posts to link with today’s post, so I’m linking both!

It’s time to take that leap you’ve been hesitant to take. No more excuses—

“Take The Leap” by Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

The Quote of the Day is—

“If you keep standing on the verge of greatness, you’ll eventually get the opportunity to leap into it.” –Curtis Tyrone Jones

You’ve been standing on the verge long enough—Leap into it!✨

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

The Peace of God

Shaun Bradford

“God’s Peace calms storms and soothes souls.” –Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

The peace that God gives is nothing like the peace we attempt to create for ourselves. His peace isn’t superficial. It’s not something that can be captured in a photo. His peace is soul deep, and once you’ve experienced it, you never want to live without it.

This morning I’m thankful for my God-given peace.

In less than two weeks, I’ll be 53!!🥰🎉

I already know Year53 will be different because I’m different. As I told my sister-friends (because we’re more than besties☺️), with each decade comes a different level of maturity, wisdom, and desires. Our fifties aren’t meant to be like our forties, and our sixties are not meant to be like our fifties. Change is good. Growth is good. This side of fifty is good.💖

This is all for today. Be sure to check out my newest blog site “Shaun’s Daily Inspiration” for more inspiration and daily quotes.

Wishing you a wonderful day and weekend! May it be filled with lots of love, laughter, and joy.♥️

I love you,

Shaun
