As a kid, I never imagined my life beyond my 20s, and my 30s never crossed my mind. Now, here I am in my 50s! Talk about mind-blowing! I am beyond grateful, taking nothing—not one thing—for granted.
“Shaun’s World” was the original name of my blog. I’m not sure when I changed it to “It’s Shaun’s World.” A couple of days ago, I celebrated my 7th Anniversary of blogging. I hadn’t realized I had been blogging for so long.
On June 11, 2018, I wrote the following in my journal—
“I launched my birthday blog early. I was bored and had things to share. It’s called “Shaun’s World.” It’s me and all of my quirkiness. I needed this outlet. I’ll see how long I can keep this up.”
I started this blog to commemorate my 45th birthday, but as I mentioned, I launched it early. I needed an outlet besides Twitter and Facebook to express myself without being completely judged. Thank you for allowing me this space.
Here’s what I shared in my first post on June 9/10, 2018 (there are two different dates on the post).
Ha! I had published this same blog on my old site. That site is being deactivated. So follow me on this site. My new site.
Welcome to the world of random thoughts, inside jokes and carefree writing. Yes, it’s Shaun’s World!
This site isn’t meant to be stuffy or too serious because all of that is pretty boring. It takes too much thought and time to create those sites (been there, done that) when all I want to do is share.
So, be warned, grammatical errors will happen; corny jokes will be told; heartfelt and meaningless stories will be shared and life will go on.
Again, welcome to Shaun’s World!
Muah! #Year45
Again, thank you for allowing me this space to freely express myself and be ME. I truly appreciate YOU!
Last night, I watched the BET Awards. I’m not sure how others felt while watching it, but this year’s ceremony seemed different—not necessarily different in a bad way, but in an eerily good way. Maybe it was because they were celebrating BET’s 45th Anniversary and I’m old enough to remember what I was doing 45 years ago, or because they celebrated a few 90s music icons who are all around my age. Hmm…
When I think about it, it felt more like a family reunion where one generation was passing the torch to another—and I happen to be in that generation of torch passers. Overall, the entire event was very emotional and felt more significant than past awards shows. If I could sum it up, I would say the mood was, “We are all we’ve got.”
There was one quote that stood out last night that I am still feeling the importance of this morning—
“Don’t let your worry be greater than your faith.” – Tyler Perry
Let that sink in…
Our faith must be stronger than our worries. It’s the only way we are going to make it. It’s the only way we have made it.
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love, peace, joy, and laughter.
On another note …
I will be 52 in two weeks!🎉
Yesterday, it dawned on me that I could have been counting down the weeks from the day I turned 51. My theme could have been “52 in 52 Weeks!”
By the way, besides dropping gems of wisdom, my fav just dropped another hit series on us, “Divorced Sistas”! It’s streaming on BET+. Check it out!
Okay… I’m done. Please take care of yourself and live life to the fullest. Don’t take a second for granted. Not one.♥️
Listen!!! Y’all thought I was hyped last night! See my post “My Fav.” Seeing this has me over the moon! In 24 hours, STRAW is number ONE in the nation!!
Let’s give Mr. Perry his flowers TODAY!! He gets it DONE!🌹
Okay… I’m done for today. Lol! I told y’all, I’m celebrating any and everything that makes me smile this month. And this makes me smile.
Lately, I have been intentionally stepping outside my comfort zone, doing new things, and meeting new people. I’m absolutely loving this space over 50. I will be 52 in exactly three weeks.
For as far back as I can remember, my mom had always wanted to be a published author, and four years ago, her dream came true.
I remember the day of the Facebook memories below. My mom was so nervous and excited. I told her to make the initial post, and I’d share it. Y’all, she received so much love that day!🥰
Here are a couple of my shares.
I miss my mom. I’m so grateful I captured this moment on the first of June. Thank You, God, for knowing I would need this memory for future June firsts. I’m blessed.🥰
