Love, Peace, & Prosperity (It’s Shaun’s World, August 22, 2022)
“Today is Monday, August 22. What I’m wishing for myself today is the same thing I am wishing for you – a lifetime of love, peace and prosperity. Be blessed.♥️ ~ Shaun”
Needed to take a break so I decided to write. I was beginning to get frustrated with something I was working on. Then the thought came to me that I am doing exactly what I want to do. Exactly what I enjoy doing. Couldn’t help but smile because it was the truth. Trying not to tear up as I think about just how good God is to me.
By the way—off the topic—the other day when I wrote I have finally found my people, y’all, I have finally found my people! They love life just as much as I do AND they become just as emotional when talking about the beauty of life, love, kindness, and joy. I finally feel understood. We’re not weird, we just feel everything, and it’s okay. It’s absolutely okay.
Anyhoo… Yesterday someone asked me what I did for a living. After I listed a few things she said she could tell I loved what I do. And I do. To me, that’s living! I’m doing what I love. Dancing to the beat of my own drums. And I am finding my tribe. Can’t express it enough, I am truly, truly blessed. I am so very grateful God loves me.♥️

Nothing or no one can stop God’s amazing plan for your life. Please remember this—especially when everything seems to be falling apart or not happening in your favor. Know that God has not forgotten you. He’s forever working behind the scenes. Believe me, everything will happen when it’s time and better than you imagined. Trust Him… or, as Rev. Jesse Jackson would say, “Keep hope alive!” Y’all, he looked so good and well at the Democratic National Convention. When I tell you my heart is still overflowing this morning. Whew!
Listen, timing is everything! Keep hope ALIVE!♥️

Had to stop and make yesterday’s quote the wallpaper for my phone. Every time I look at my phone I will be reminded of who I am and Whose I am. I am God’s child ALL day long!🥰
Same for you. Remember who you are and Whose you are. You are God’s child. Own your position!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Hope this gives you a reason to smile. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun
Nothing that you have gone through or are currently going through will be wasted. NOTHING! Not one thing!! How wonderful is that!
Here’s a word from my cousin, Joy. I pray it blesses you as much as it’s blessed me. Love you.♥️ ~Shaun
Good Morning! I don’t know about you but I am so grateful for God’s protection. For His protection from things I often don’t know I need protecting from. Also, I am forever grateful for His love, mercy, grace, and favor. I am beyond blessed.♥️ ~Shaun

“Just because your intentions are pure doesn’t mean everyone else’s are. Stay true to who you are and keep doing what you do. Use your God-given discernment to stay protected. In other words, if it doesn’t feel right, it’s not right.♥️”
This is so true. Everyone cannot handle our truths. It took me a very long time to realize this—basically, a lifetime. For years I believed people wanted to know the authentic version of me. I thought I could be free and open with people who seemed to like me. It took many heartbreaks and letdowns to learn that most people didn’t want to know the real me, they only wanted to interact with and know the version they could tolerate (not accept). This is why I only have a handful of close friends, and my closest get to experience all of me.
In one of my very first blog posts (June 2018) I wrote—
“It’s not easy being transparent in a world that glorifies what’s fake and shuns reality. Reality isn’t pretty. Reality shows vulnerability– the bumps, bruises and scars.”
This blog site, “It’s Shaun’s World,” was originally created to be a space where I could be authentic and transparent. I really wanted to share my world with others. However, over the years I learned to tone it down and only release bits and pieces of me in small doses. Not everyone likes happiness. Some don’t like quirkiness. And many don’t like when people share their vulnerabilities with the world. Those are things I guess are supposed be kept private or only shared with friends or a therapist. I believed people wanted to know the human side of people—because that’s what I want to get to know, the real—when in reality they only want a character.
Anyhoo… I could go on and on. Here’s what I shared two years ago.

“Being transparent has its limits. Our lives were never meant to be an open book for all to read. Knowing when, what and with whom to share is vital. Everyone can’t handle your truth.♥️”
Yes, unlike in 2018, I now know this is true. Everyone can’t handle my truth—which is the reason I sometimes write posts that I never share—even when they’re my true experiences. Not everyone would or could understand, and that’s okay.
Well, that’s my truth for now. I pray you have a lovely Friday and beautifully, blessed weekend. Love you!♥️

Wait.
That’s the answer.
Be still and wait.
Yes, it’s uncomfortable.
Yes, you feel like you’re stagnant.
Yes, it seems like you could and should be doing more.
Yet, the answer is “Wait.”
So, wait.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Hello, again! Here’s the polished version of the Facebook post I shared six years ago (see previous post, “Where’s Your Mind These Days”).
Facebook Memory: August 13, 2022
“Whatever OR whoever controls your thoughts controls you. Don’t believe me? Watch your actions. Whether noticeable to others or not, your actions will always tell the truth.♥️”
Whew, now that’s some truth! In my earlier post I asked, “Where’s your mind nowadays?”
Well… Where is it?
Is it where it was ten years ago? How about a year ago?
Change your mindset and your life will change.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
