My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
I know it’s Thanksgiving and most aren’t thinking about health or healthy anything; however, your health still matters. Not only am I speaking about physical health, but mental and emotional health as well. Be mindful of what you put in your body (enjoy, but eat in moderation) and who you allow in your space (separate yourself from people and things that causes you stress). Prioritizing your health is of utmost importance.
That’s all. Carry on with your wonderful day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
This morning, I am most thankful for family. Since my mom passed, I seem to value the time I spend with family a little bit more. Of course, I always cherish the time I spend with my two hearts (smiling because my daughter’s home🥰); however, lately, I have been intentional about not rushing time spent with extended family, especially my siblings and their families, and my mom’s siblings. Now, when I am in their presence, I’m present. I soak up everything—from their words and expressions to the very essence of their being. Yes, I’m right there with them. Before, I may have taken it all for granted, but now I realize just how precious family is.
What are you most thankful for today?

I couldn’t choose which Facebook memory to share, so please choose the one that resonates most with you at this moment.
Facebook Memory #1: November 27, 2022
Stay focused!
Facebook Memory #2: November 27, 2023
Keep smiling!
At the moment, they are both significant. Right now, I’m all smiles, and as you know, smiles are quite contagious. So, even though we are miles apart, I hope you are smiling. As for staying focused, I am definitely focused.♥️
How about you? Which did you choose?

Saw this message and thought I’d share.
The message is true. No matter what someone else does, even if it appears to be the same or similar, it isn’t. YOU are the key that makes it different.
When I first began blogging, I really didn’t care much about what others thought of my writing style. However, after reading other blogs, I started questioning and critiquing it. I have always written as if I’m holding a conversation with a good friend or writing in my journal. So, for a while I was conflicted between being authentically me and trying to fit in with other writers. After a while, I settled on being myself. It’s my blog and it’s about my world. Those who continued reading did, and those who left, well, my style wasn’t for them.
Today, I write not only to share my stories but also to spread love, hope, and inspiration. Millions of writers are doing the same; however, they are not me. They are not Shaun. Honestly, I’m just grateful to be able to write and share with others.
Before I end, I would like to thank you for your continued support and for sticking around. I really do appreciate you taking time to read my posts.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
As you can see, I was praising God on this day eight years ago, and I’ve been praising Him all day. Listen… NO ONE is comparable to my God! No one. NONE!! Y’all, He’s so wonderful and worthy to be praised. As Marvin Sapp says, “There’s no question of His greatness.” Whew!💃🏽
I pray your day is going well. Please feel free to join in on this praise!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Last year I wrote—
“God’s favor is surrounding you. Embrace it. It’s already yours.”
I guess that message was written for me to read today.
God’s favor is all around me, and I am embracing every bit of it.

Today’s Facebook memory has me pretty emotional. It’s about taking leaps without knowing the details, without knowing what’s to come. All you have is God’s assurance that you won’t fall or fail. Everything else is unknown.
Here’s what I shared on Facebook five years ago (November 25, 2019), unsure who to give credit to for the illustrations.
I wrote—
“Trust God. No matter how outlandish it may seem, if He tells you to do something, do it. He knows what lies ahead. Trust Him.”
I needed this reminder today. I don’t need to see the entire staircase or where the next step will lead. All I need to do is be obedient and trust God, and the rest will unfold.🙏🏽
If there’s a leap you’ve been hesitant to take, perhaps this is your sign to take it. You won’t fail. Praying you have a great day and wonderful week.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
So much has happened since last year. Around this time last year, I was experiencing what I considered a spiritual pruning while also trying to adjust to life on this side of 50. The only definite thing was that I knew these next 50 years had to be different from the last.
Here’s what I shared last year.
After asking myself the same question from a few years ago—am I someone who has fully embraced my true, authentic self?—the answer is “yes.” A year ago, I was close but not entirely there. Today, I can confidently say that I have fully embraced all of myself while still growing and evolving—as we know, both are continuous. As I have mentioned several times this year, I love this space I’m in—living life, loving God, and dancing to the beats (because there are many) of my own drum.
Y’all, I wanted this side of 50 to be different, and it truly is.♥️
I am beyond blessed.🥰

Last night I shared how the song, “Shower Me With Your Love,” randomly started playing in my head. I hadn’t heard it in years, probably decades. That’s not a song that people just play everyday. Well, after that song ended, the next was “I Do” by my favs, Bell Biv Devoe (BBD), which was followed by “Smile Again,” and then Jodeci’s “Forever My Lady” and “Stay.” When I tell you I felt like a teenager/young adult in love. Those were the days! Then, just a little while ago, I saw that Whitney Houston’s “How Will I know” was released on this day in 1985.
Listen, I just love my life!! Despite the craziness, love is beautiful and music is life. I’m sooooo loving this space I’m in.
God is good.
