I have discovered it’s not the big, glorious things that make life so interesting. It’s the small things leading to the big ones that are so remarkable and rewarding!
Be mindful of the small blessings.♥️
Take nothing for granted.
That was the caption I used when I shared that date’s Hello Sunday.
When I tell you this message has hit on EVERYTHING I have been sharing lately! Listen, whatever you do, DO NOT GIVE UP!!! Stay the course. God’s got you!♥️ ~Shaun
I tend to give people a lot of grace because I know people be peopleing (yeah, I know it’s not a word—I’m peopleing. Smile). You never know if someone is having a bad day so they come off as rude or unapproachable; or maybe that’s just their demeanor, but they are still good people. Listen, I have relatives who will cuss you out and love on you in the same breath. I also have some that will treat you like you’re the best thing walking and tear you down when you’re out of sight. Yes, I have seen it all.They just be peopleing. (Smile) So, for me, first impressions don’t really mean anything. It’s a person’s actions and character the majority of the time that shows me who they truly are. People can hide who they are some of the time but not all the time.
If you’re not privy to someone’s daily life, trust your instincts. Do not keep overriding them. If something does not feel right, it’s probably not right. If something seems off, it probably is. Stay covered. Believe me, when you stay covered, God will keep you protected.
And yes, this message is definitely for me too. I tend to extend too much grace. For some reason, I believe there is good in everyone. It just baffles me that some people intentionally set out to use, misuse, abuse and hurt others. Just writing this seems unreal. Thankful for God’s protection.
Hopefully this wasn’t too dark. Didn’t mean for it to be. Praying you have a wonderful Sunday and fabulous week. And remember to be kind. I really wish there was a way we could add more kindness to the world.
Love you!♥️

Trust your gut; and always, always, ALWAYS, trust God. Do not override your feelings.
I spent decades yearning for someone to love me for me. To love all of me unconditionally. To love me not only when I was at my best, but when I was at my worst—insecure, unmotivated, feeling ugly, and unsure of myself. To love me when I did not make the best decisions. To love me through both good and bad times. Just to love me.
Well, I have finally realized and accepted I am that person I spent years searching for. I had to learn to love myself not only when I was up, but also when I was down. Had to learn to stop criticizing and beating myself up over mistakes and bad decisions. Yeah, I had to love and accept all of me.
I am so very thankful I finally—took forever—found me.♥️ ~ Shaun

You deserve unconditional love, and there is no better person to give it to you than yourself.♥️
