Three More Weeks!

I’m almost 52!!☺️✨🥰

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.

God is so good.

I am truly, truly blessed.🥰

Celebrating My Momma, Today

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.🥰

Hello Sunday

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I pray that you’re well.🌸

By the way—Welcome to my Birthday Month!😌🎉


For those who don’t know, I LOVE celebrating my birthdays, and I usually celebrate the entire month of June. So, if you don’t like people being extra, you may need to mute me because I tend to celebrate any and everything. Lol. Listen, if a butterfly happens to cross my path and I smile (all it takes is a smile), baby, that’s God’s gift to me and ONLY me.☺️ Yeah… prepare to be sick of me.

I love life.

I love my birthdays.

And I absolutely love my God.

Now that I’m getting older, every day and every year I’m alive feels more and more special. Just knowing that I am still here, and that I am surrounded by love, makes my heart sing praises to my God. Father, I thank You.🙏🏽

The theme I chose for Year51 was “Beyond Blessed,” and I am blessed. I am truly, truly blessed. I’m not sure what this coming year’s theme will be. I still have a few weeks to come up with something. Until then, I hope you’ll stick around and celebrate my month with me. And to everyone celebrating a birthday in June—Happy Birthday Month to YOU! Let’s celebrate!!🎉

I pray you have the most amazing day! May it be filled with pure, unconditional love, indescribable peace, and an abundance of joy. YOU deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Have a good night!♥️

Celebrating Mother’s Day

When I woke up this morning, the last thing I wanted to do was celebrate Mother’s Day. I just wasn’t feeling it. But God and my daughter had different plans. I’m so glad she decided to come home this weekend. I needed her company. I needed the love, laughs, hugs (from both of my hearts), and good food. I may have lost my mother, but… I am a mother. God blessed me with two beautiful souls. How could I not celebrate this honor?

My daughter is on her way back home. We did more in about 18 hours than we would have done the entire weekend. When I tell you we laughed, danced, sang, ate, watched Netflix (started “Forever”), had a few deep conversations, and ate some more.🥰

To the mothers and mother figures who nurture and give selflessly, “Happy Mother’s Day!” You are loved and appreciated.💕🌸💗

The Countdown

ONLY speaking blessings over my life.🌸🌿

Good Morning☀️

The countdown to my 52nd birthday has officially begun. Yay!!!🎉 Although it’s two months away, I’m already excited like it’s happening next week or in a few days. For those who don’t know, I love celebrating my birthdays. No matter the age, I still feel like a little kid turning a year older. I’m not entirely sure what I’ll do this year. However, whatever I decide to do will be wonderful because I will make it so.🥰 I’m thinking a floral theme this year—something light and summery.😊🌸

Yessss… Year52 is loading!!!🙌🏽🎉🤩


Wishing you a glorious day!♥️

I love you,

Lord, Guide Me

Good Morning☀️

Ten years ago, I ended my journal entry with, “Lord, please guide me.”

Ten years ago, my entire world changed. During the final days of March 2015, I experienced my greatest heartbreak but also my greatest relief. My ex-husband had finally moved out. That was the relief. However, the greatest heartbreak came from those I always thought would have my back but instead turned their backs on me.

Y’all, it’s been a very long ten years. Not only did I have to rebuild a life for me and my two (my hearts and rocks!), but I had to rebuild relationships. I’m not going to go into details, but just know that when I say I made it, believe me—I MADE IT!!!

I am forever indebted to God. I know I wouldn’t be here had it not been for Him. I am so grateful for His love, mercy, grace, kindness, patience and GUIDANCE. I asked for His guidance, and He answered.

Today, I’m celebrating.

Yes, I’m celebrating!

I made it!!🎉


Thank you so much for your love and continued support. I pray you have a beautifully, blessed day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

It’s Day 1,400!🎉

I’m celebrating every milestone and every success! Celebrating God’s gift and love for me. I’m truly blessed.🌟

Thank you for reading, liking, sharing, and commenting on my posts. Your continued support and love is greatly appreciated.

Love you much!♥️

300 Days

Smiling.☺️

Three years ago, I was almost a year into my journey of posting daily.🎉

This Saturday, I will be celebrating 1,400 days of posting daily. At 1,300 days, I decided to add an extra post. I believe that’s when I began the “My Journey With God” series. At 1,000 days, I launched my YouTube channel. This time, I’m not sure what I’ll do. Maybe I’ll wait until 1,500 days to do something different. Either way, I still plan to celebrate it in some way.

Thanking God for this space. It’s my own little world. And THANK YOU for visiting my world. Seriously, thank you for the continued love and support and for allowing me to be me. This means a lot in a world that’s so judgmental. I appreciate you more than you know.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Our Leap Year Baby

Today, we celebrated my youngest nephew’s first birthday. He’s our leap year baby! His parents decided they would celebrate his birthday on February 28th each year until the 29th rolls around again.

Last year was a roller coaster ride for him and my sister. My sister had to be induced a week early due to preeclampsia. A few days after giving birth, she began experiencing shortness of breath, so she went to the emergency room. Well, without consulting with OB/GYN, the ER doctor diagnosed her with acute heart failure, released her (said there was nothing he could do), and referred her to a heart specialist. The next day, she called her doctor and was readmitted for preeclampsia. It wasn’t heart failure. Talk about a frightening and emotional time! After receiving the proper care, she was released a few days later. A couple of days after that, the baby was diagnosed with jaundice.

The first few weeks of his life were very eventful. Now, here we are a year later, and everyone’s healthy. God is good.♥️

I kept him while my sister was in the hospital. He was only a few days old. Before then, I hadn’t kept a newborn since my son was born. What an interesting time.

Today!! He’s one!
