You Are Blessed

Shaun Bradford

Listen, this year, Year51, is all about experiencing God’s blessings in real time. From the moment I wake up until the time I fall asleep, I plan to acknowledge my blessings. Y’all, there are way too many blessings surrounding me for me not too. They are like God’s hugs and kisses reminding me that I am His child. Such a great space to be in.

Last year I celebrated all year long. This year I plan to do the same, by expressing my gratitude for my blessings. So, get ready! I am preparing you now. The words “blessed” and “blessings” will be used quite frequently. Smile

Before I end, I would like to invite you to join the celebration. Because if you did not know… You are blessed too!! Yes, YOU!! So, let’s celebrate!🎉

Love you!♥️

Smile, this is Year51. Celebrate with me!

What’s In A Theme?

Shaun Bradford

Here’s what I shared last year.

Facebook Memory: June 26, 2024

“Present and At Peace,” is my theme for #Year50. For years I have missed out on some great experiences because I was always anticipating the next. Not anymore! From here on out, I am staying present so I can fully enjoy my blessings.♥️

Peace like no other.

Until today, I had forgotten “Present and at peace” was my theme for Year50. Now, I look back and smile. Even though I had forgotten, God had not. All year long He made sure I didn’t miss a thing. While I was present, He was providing the peace. Y’all, God’s love is unmatched.

This year’s theme for Year51 is “Beyond Blessed.” I know that I am blessed, and I will not accept anything less than blessed, nor should you. Smile

Praying you have a wonderfully, blessed day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Blessed

Blessed seems to be the only word I can think of to describe how I feel right now. As John P. Kee sings, “You don’t know my story.” Y’all, this little girl… This baby right here…

Is now, this woman.

Never in a million years did I imagine 50 and beyond… healthy, drama-free, adult children, living carefree. I made it through my teenage years and my 20s. What a time they were! Been married and divorced. Life. Loved and experienced losses. Been hurt and bounced back. That little girl had no clue what life was sending her way. But she made it!!! Everything she went through made me the woman I am today.

One word — Blessed.♥️

Chosen For This: Part 3

Shaun Bradford

Went back to read what I had written on my birthday and happened to read what I had written the day before, exactly one year ago. You see, when I shared my first post for today, both quotes were from my Facebook memories. I had decided not to share the captions because I wasn’t really feeling them. Well, little did I remember, I had already shared one of the captions before. Smiling. Here’s what I wrote last year.

Chosen For This: Part 2 – June 23, 2023

“Not going to wait until next year when the Facebook post I shared today pops up as a Facebook memory. Nah… it has to be shared NOW, before Year 50. 

My words of affirmation…

Listen
Listen
LISTEN

Out of BILLIONS, YOU were handpicked to fulfill a purpose that only YOU can fulfill. Do not for one minute think your life has no meaning or you are not worthy of the dreams God placed in your heart. You are different for a reason. You were chosen for this. Not them, but YOU!

Walk in your purpose with confidence! Own it!!!

#Year50 is TOMORROW!!! It’s not what’s happening on the outside. It’s ALL about what’s happening on the inside. Whew!!!

Y’all already know I was pretty emotional when I wrote this. I am so serious and intentional about this next leg of my journey. God has been too good to me for me to keep suppressing His gifts. He made me like I am for a reason. I am Shaun and there is absolutely no other like me. I am one of one, for real.

Blessed!”

In tears. I love me some ME. For real. I am absolutely, without a doubt, one of a kind. Year50 showed me this. There is no one like me. Not at all.

When I tell you I am loving this side of 50!!! I am beyond grateful for the experiences, lessons and blessings of this past year. Never knew I needed them. However, God did! Before this day ends, and I enter another year, I would like to thank God for loving me. For holding my life, heart, and soul in His hands. For His covering and protection. For His mercy and grace. For His gentleness. For showing me, Me. When I tell you I am truly blessed, I mean it.

What a Jubilee Year!!! I made it!!!🎉🎉🎉

Year51 is loading… The other side of 50 is officially here!♥️
