Today, we celebrated my youngest nephew’s first birthday. He’s our leap year baby! His parents decided they would celebrate his birthday on February 28th each year until the 29th rolls around again.

Last year was a roller coaster ride for him and my sister. My sister had to be induced a week early due to preeclampsia. A few days after giving birth, she began experiencing shortness of breath, so she went to the emergency room. Well, without consulting with OB/GYN, the ER doctor diagnosed her with acute heart failure, released her (said there was nothing he could do), and referred her to a heart specialist. The next day, she called her doctor and was readmitted for preeclampsia. It wasn’t heart failure. Talk about a frightening and emotional time! After receiving the proper care, she was released a few days later. A couple of days after that, the baby was diagnosed with jaundice.

The first few weeks of his life were very eventful. Now, here we are a year later, and everyone’s healthy. God is good.♥️

I kept him while my sister was in the hospital. He was only a few days old. Before then, I hadn’t kept a newborn since my son was born. What an interesting time.

Second Time Around

February 28, 2025 Shaun Bradford

Can’t you hear Shalamar singing “Second Time Around”? Well, I surely can. Smile

Well, this isn’t about a relationship, at least not the kind they were singing about. This one is about my second term as my association’s president-elect/president. Y’all, everything is finally making sense. I now understand why I’ve been given a second opportunity to serve.☺️

Feeling grateful. I’m blessed. Beyond blessed.🥰

Struggle–Free Blessings

February 28, 2025February 28, 2025 Shaun Bradford

Last year I wrote—

“Walking into blessings without the struggles. I refuse to accept that struggles are a prerequisite for blessings. Nope. Not today!”

As last year, I refuse to accept that I will always struggle before receiving blessings. Not buying it! NOT AT ALL!♥️

Side Note: Be obedient! If you’re hearing that still small voice saying “be obedient”—Do it! You don’t have to know why. Just be obedient.

We Are LOVE

February 28, 2025February 28, 2025 Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Although today’s the last day of Love Month, it’s not the last day to love and be loved. Love is an everyday occurrence. We wake up and fall asleep to love. It’s in our hearts and souls. Its warmth and joy radiate from us daily. It’s who we are.

We are LOVE.♥️

I love you to the moon, stars, and other galaxies and back!
