Trust Yourself To Make It Happen
I often share screenshots of previous posts instead of copying and pasting the captions so you can get the full effect of what was written. Sometimes, the hashtags I used are more meaningful than the text itself. Here’s what I shared two years ago (October 30, 2022).
Side note: Please feel free to let me know if you are not able to view any of my photos or links. I’ll never know unless I’m told.☺️
Trust yourself to make your dreams come true. I truly believe if God gave you the dream, then He gave you the ability to make it happen. First, you must stop trying to figure out how it will happen and start moving with what you have. Move, and God will guide you through the rest.♥️
Love you,

Obedience Matters
Good Morning!☀️
Yesterday, I wrote, “God has spoken. He has already advised you on what needs to be done, next. Now it’s up to you to respond accordingly.”
Well, a portion of that message was taken from a caption I had shared the year before (October 29, 2023). Let’s just say I created a better graphic and repurposed the caption. Smile. Although I made it a bit cuter, the message was still the same, and it was actually for me. Yep! That message was for me.
You see, a few weeks ago, I received very specific instructions from God about something I needed to do. I followed through, but only to a certain extent. What I failed to do was follow through with confidence. So, afterwards, I was easily persuaded to modify what I was told to fit someone else’s plan. Well, almost daily, I kept hearing I needed to be obedient and do what I was told.
Fast forward to yesterday—after coming across my Facebook memory about already hearing what God had said and needing to respond accordingly, I did just that. I did what I was originally advised to do, and when I did, the person responded that God had already given them that same message. Hmmm…
Listen, be obedient. You don’t have to know why you’re being asked to do something, just do it. Just be obedient.♥️

Listen and Respond Accordingly
God has spoken. He has already advised you on what needs to be done, next. Now it’s up to you to respond accordingly.♥️

A Culinary Revival
Good Morning!☀️
“A culinary revival” is how I described the week I had ten years ago in October 2014. However, it wasn’t just the week I met Marcus Samuelsson, Leah Chase, and John T. Edge (the food writer and former director of the Southern Foodways Alliance) but also the months leading up to it. A few months ealier, I had been invited to a culinary event in New Orleans with Chef John Folse. So, by this time, I felt as if the culinary side of my life had been awakened, and it was finally time to use my culinary degree. Yes, I was somewhat of a chef many moons ago (2002)—degree only, never worked in the field. Let’s just say you never know where life will take you. You plan for one thing—I was set on being a personal chef and traveling the world—and life goes in a completely different direction. While doing part of my culinary internship at a local hospital, I met a registered dietitian, and the rest is history!
Honestly, I’m not sure what’s next for me and this culinary thing. It always seems to be lurking in the background. I use it when doing food demos for nutrition education, but I would love to do much more with it. We shall see.
Well, that’s all I have for now. I just love a good trip down memory lane. Thanks for joining me. Wishing you a wonderful day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 3
I know you probably wouldn’t believe this, but John P. Kee’s “I Do Worship” is stuck in my head again. Didn’t even realize it until I sat still.
For God’s goodness and His glory. For the joy inside my story. For the peace He gave to me. For the day He set me free. I do worship Him.
Y’all, God is so good. I am beyond blessed.♥️
