Here’s a post I shared in 2021. The message about worth is great, but it’s the hashtags for me!
Walk in your worth.
Live in your worth.
You ARE amazing!
And you are. You are absolutely amazing!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
You Are Amazing!

My Journey With God, No. 17
When I tell you this message right here—“HEAL OUT LOUD. Because you nearly died in silence.”—touched me to my core!
No one but me and God knows the real journey—the struggles, the hurts, the disappointments, the heartaches, and the breaks. Whew!! The things I have endured in silence.
My blog, “It’s Shaun’s World”, is me healing out loud. Sometimes I might overshare (getting better at not doing so), but it’s part of my healing. It’s part of my journey to becoming the woman God’s created me to be.♥️
God, Your Will Be Done
Good Morning☀️
How often have you heard or used the phrase, “Thy will be done”?
This morning I’m saying…
“Thy will be done.”
Not my will, God, but Yours.
“Thy will be done.”
Expecting more than I asked or imagined.
“Thy will be done.”
As Marvin L. Winans said, “I’ve seen You work in others, now I want You to work in me.” —“Draw Me Close/Thy Will Be Done”
Wishing you a lovely day and a beautiful weekend.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Late Post
Just noticed I missed sharing an afternoon post!
Here’s something for you…
Love and be loved. You deserve to receive just as much love as you give.
Laugh often. Belly laughs are the best. I had a few today.
Live life to its fullest. Remember, you only have one life, make this one count.
Y’all, time passes so quickly. One day you’re in your 20s and the next you’re in your 50s.
Today, my best friend celebrated her 51st birthday. What a blessing.🙏🏽
I also discovered that today marks the 29th anniversary of the release of the “Waiting to Exhale” soundtrack (November 14, 1995). Boy, do I remember that soundtrack. “Sittin’ Up In My Room” by Brandy was my favorite song back then, followed by “Exhale” (the shoop song), by Whitney Houston.
Good music.
Good memories.
I pray you had a wonderful day, and that you’ll have a restful night.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Are You Thinking About Settling?
Good Morning☀️
Are you thinking about settling for something less than what you dreamed possible?
Well, here’s what I wrote two years ago and a year ago when I shared this graphic.
Caption from November 14, 2022:
“Have you ever settled because you were too anxious to wait? OR…because you believed that what you were offered was the best you could get? You know– “You better take what you can get.”
Nah! NEVER settle for less than what you desire. Believe me, you’re worth it and more!”
Caption from November 14, 2023:
“Don’t do it.
Don’t settle.
If you’re not careful, temporary decisions can easily become permanent. Be patient and keep waiting. God’s got you.”
Word of advice—based on my experience and the knowledge I’ve gained over the years—be careful not to tie your dreams to persons, places, or things. Instead, connect them with what’s in the core of your heart—your passions, your purpose, your values, and the essence behind your dreams.
If you have been following me for a while, you know that going to the United Nations and working with people from different nations is my ultimate dream. However, the core of that dream is to serve others while spreading love and hope. And guess what? I’m already doing it and am preparing to do more. Y’all, I am living my dream. As I have mentioned in past posts, it looks nothing like I imagined; however, it feels like everything I imagined and more.🥰
Listen, I genuinely believe our dreams are God-given, and they are too important and too dear to settle for anything less. Go after your dreams!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 16
Today has been a very busy day. I have been multitasking nonstop since early this morning. I just paused for a moment to catch my breath and share my afternoon post.
The following is an excerpt from last year’s journal entry. It references another journal entry I made in 2017 when I thought about the advice I would give to my five-year-old self. Here’s what I wrote—
“You’re going to have some good days and some bad days. Sometimes you’re going to feel like giving up, but you won’t. You’re a survivor. See every moment as an adventure. It will help you through the tough times. Don’t be afraid to take chances. Don’t settle for less than what you want and what you’re worth.”
Whew… ALL of that has been the story of my life—not giving up, viewing difficulties as adventures, taking leaps, being a survivor/superhuman, and not settling. Yeah…that’s been the story of my life, but now I’m tired. Now, it’s time to advise little Shaun on how to thrive without being that survivor/superhuman. On how to take better care of herself while taking leaps. And still, never settling for less than what she wants and what she’s worth—this part is nonnegotiable.
On another note…
During a meeting today, someone referred to me as middle–aged. I was like, “Who? Me?” Then I thought about it, I am over half a century old soooo… I must be middle–aged. Smile
Life…gotta love it.♥️
