Life is a process. Last year I wrote to trust the process. What I should have written was “Trust God through and throughout the process.” Life is always going to do what it does, but God will always remain stable. Trust Him.♥️
Love you,

My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.

Growth is a process. Nothing happens overnight. Be patient with yourself, and be patient and kind to those you see growing.♥️

Good Morning!☀️
Always, always, always expect great things to happen.♥️

Hey You!
Yes… YOU!
You have come too far and endured too much (way too much) to stop now. God is always working, even when you do not feel it or see it. Listen, now is not the time to give up.
Keep Going!!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun

Wanted to add this. I am literally watching God work in so many people’s lives (including mine). It’s so amazing to see. The problem is—and I’m including myself in this as well—they/we don’t always see it. I pray God opens our eyes, hearts, and minds so we’re able to fully experience the magnitude of what He’s doing. Amen
Good Morning!☀️
Simple, yet necessary words to live by daily—
“I believe in me.”

Listen, if no one else believes in you or what you have to offer the world, make sure you do. You must believe in YOU.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Just a friendly reminder. You are not behind. No, you’re right where you should be at this moment in time. Remember, everything happens according to God’s timing, not ours.
While waiting, your/our (yes, myself included☺️) job is to continue following God’s instructions and guidance until whatever we dreamed comes to fruition. And you know those instructions I’m referring to. Yeah…the ones you keep putting off like God doesn’t see you. Smile. Well, follow those instructions first, and everything else will fall into place. Before you know it, you’ll be standing in your dream.♥️
Love you,
Shaun

Good Morning!☀️
Decided to stick with the trend and share the same post I shared last year and the year before.

Today, I am wishing you love, light (to guide you through the tough times), peace, joy (you deserve it), and prosperity. May God continue to bless you and keep you under His care. Always keep God first, and stay covered.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Short story…
When I formed my LLC three years ago, I also formed a nonprofit (my ♥️). For years now, I have been working on perfecting it. I know, perfection is only an illusion. Smile
Well, last night, I was asked if I wanted to set up a table at an upcoming health fair and I said yes. However, this time, instead of representing LaShaundreaB or Nutrition with LaShaundreaB, I will be representing my nonprofit, We Are Thriving.
Y’all, no more hiding or waiting for the perfect time to launch. As I have been writing the past few days, we have to use what we have and God will do the rest.🙏🏽
Also—and this has me on cloud nine—today is one of my faves birthday! Yes, today is former president Jimmy Carter’s 100th birthday! 100!!!🎉🎉🎉 I’m excited because he’s the one who ignited this humanitarian spark in me over 45 years ago! Y’all, I am who I am and do what I do because of him. So, today is extra special.🥰
Anyhoo… Half of this may seem like I’m rambling. I’m a little emotional and running behind. Just wanted to share.

Love you!

Good Morning!☀️
Not only is today a new day, but it’s the beginning of a new month. Meaning, it’s the perfect time to start afresh and refreshed. Remember, yesterday is gone. You can only move forward from here.
Praying you have a wonderful day and a beautifully, blessed month. May God bless everything you touch and set out to do.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun

Several posts ago, I mentioned a conversation with Dr. Cheryl Wood (motivational speaker) about taking a leap into the entrepreneurial world. Well, until I saw this Facebook memory (screenshot below) this morning, I had forgotten that a few years earlier I had become a sole proprietor, which became my side hustle for a few years. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking it because it—The Research Diva–RD—eventually became LaShaundreaB, Registered Dietitian and Research Consultant, the hub for all of my projects. I started with what I had.
Facebook Memory: September 30, 2017

As I said in my previous post, “Make It Happen, Today!”, if it’s something you really want to do, don’t put it off. Start with what you have and God will do the rest. After creating The Research Diva–RD, not even a year later, my confidence took the biggest blow. Y’all, knocked it down to ZERO. In all of the conferences and workshops I had attended, no one had prepared me for the hits. Every speaker made them seem like a small hiccup in the process. You know, “It’s just something you have to go through to get to the other side.” And to their credit, I will say, the pain or disappointment isn’t something easy to describe. All I can say is, it hurt! Had me second guessing my dreams and purpose. Didn’t even know if I wanted to remain a dietitian or in research. It was a terrible time for me, but eventually, like everyone else who’d experienced setbacks, I found my way back.
Listen, life is going to happen, and sometimes it will literally knock the life out of you. If or when it happens, please be kind to yourself, and give yourself grace and time to find your way back. Just don’t give up on your dreams. God put them in you for a purpose that’s much greater than yourself.
Well, that’s all for now. Just saw that post and thought I’d share it with you. Listen, don’t wait, make your dreams happen, now!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
