Nothing Wasted

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I hope you’re doing well.🌸


If you don’t remember anything else, remember this—nothing is ever wasted. Not one thing. Not a single tear. Not a single heartbreak. Not a single setback. Nothing is wasted.

Live!✨

I love you,

Shaun

Fix It

Never patch what you can repair. Instead, take your time and fix it. Fix it or it will continue to fall apart.♥️

Love you,

I’m There

Good Morning☀️

I shared the following on May 12, 2022—

Thank You, Lord for hearing my prayers and making this side of 50 different. Amen

That was God’s word to me three years ago, which I so graciously shared with you. Smile. You’ll never get to where you want to be if you can’t see or feel yourself there. It’s all about mindset.

Same questions as before:

– Can you see yourself there?

– Can you feel yourself there?

– Are you already there?

Me, I’m already there.

I’m there (here), fully immersed in and experiencing it all.


Y’all, God is so good! When I think about where my life and mindset were three years ago compared to where they are now, all I can do is praise God. I’m so thankful that He never gave up on me. So grateful that He kept nudging me forward when I felt like giving up and when I wanted to settle. I am so very blessed.


I pray you have an exceptionally wonderful week. Remember to keep God first and keep shining!✨♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

Your New Life

You say you want change. You say you want something different.

Question—

Are you willing to trade your old life for your new one?

Hmmm…

Love you!♥️

Treasure Your Gifts

Good Morning☀️

Treasure your gifts. Not gifts, as in talents, but the gifts—the people—God has placed in your life. They are irreplaceable and one of a kind. Whether for a season or a lifetime, God placed them in your life for a specific purpose that only they can fulfill. Never take them for granted. Life is much too short and precious not to treasure them.

As I mentioned last night, I was with my two hearts (daughter, 30, and son, 21). Words can’t even begin to describe the way I feel about them. As a child, I always longed to feel loved unconditionally and accepted for me. One of the things we talked about last night was me always dancing to the beat of my own drum. I never quite fit in, even when it came to my own family. I thought and moved differently. Not so differently that I didn’t blend in, but different enough to know I didn’t fit. Well, here I am 30 years later with two adult children, and I finally feel the love and acceptance I longed for. They’re not cookie cutters of me. As we often joke, we couldn’t be more different, but we’re so much alike. All three of us dance to our own beat, and we don’t judge. We embrace each other’s uniqueness.

Y’all, they are my gifts.🥰🥰

This was taken in January during my daughter’s 30th birthday weekend.

On another note—I know I never mentioned anything else about celebrating the 30–year breakthrough or rebirth I was experiencing leading up to my daughter’s birthday. I intentionally stopped celebrating when I noticed she had made her celebration mine. I explained to her that I had already lived and celebrated my 30th; the weekend and occasion were all hers. And we celebrated her! Yes, her birthday felt like a great release for me. I finally felt free to release myself from being a mother, provider, and caregiver to being me—a woman taking care of me.🦋


I pray you are treasuring your gifts. Also remember this too—something that took me far too long to realize—YOU are also a gift. Yes…YOU!

Have a beautifully, blessed day.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

As you start your week, here’s a friendly reminder—change begins with YOU. Be the change you wish to see.♥️

Rooted And Grounded In God

Stay covered.

Many changes and anticipated changes are happening at the moment, causing fear, anxiety, and conflict. My advice is that, no matter what happens, we must first stay rooted and grounded in God, and secondly, remain committed to protecting the sanctity and integrity of humanity. We must remain loving, kind, caring, compassionate, empathetic, and respectful. Y’all, the well-being—not only physical but psychological—of our future and future generations is dependent on it.🙏🏽

Yes, life as we once knew is slowly changing. Please, stay rooted and grounded in God.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Good Morning!☀️

How is everything going?

How have you been feeling lately?

Me? I’m so glad you asked.☺️

So, my new year started off on a high note. However, it went downhill soon after—like the next day—when I began thinking about my personal life. I thought about how I chose to be a mom first and built my life around my two—no disrespect to my babies because I would do it all again if I had to. It’s true.

Side note: If you don’t already know, I love being a mom. Y’all, I love everything about motherhood—the good and bad. Believe me, my adult children were regular kids like every other kid. They tested their boundaries and my patience, but I never once regretted having them. They were and truly are my blessings.

Anyhoo… Reality hit me hard a couple of days ago. I’m talking hard! For a minute, I felt completely lost and alone. Y’all, I am single—like, single, single—grown kids, no man single—and I’m 51.

That’s when I knew I needed a change of scenery to clear my mind, so I hit the road. I wasn’t about to sit and wallow in my thoughts of what I didn’t or don’t have. Yes, I am 51, but I refuse to believe my best days are behind me. That I missed out on God’s plans for my personal life because I chose to make my babies a priority.

This morning I came across a Facebook memory from a few years ago and was reminded that everything that happened in my life, happened the way and in the order that God planned. I may not understand it, but I accept it. I accept it, and I’m letting it go. I must let it go. I know God’s got me.


Well, that’s how I’ve been feeling lately. How about you?😅

Don’t forget, today is Self-Love Saturday! Remember to treat yourself a little extra special today.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Transformation

** Had this already scheduled to post before I found out President Carter passed. Was going to reschedule it but won’t. I pray that this message encourages someone to allow God to move in their lives. I love y’all!!♥️


We’re only days from 2025, and a change is already happening. I know you can feel it because I surely can!

It’s the feeling of God transforming you into who you were created to be. Don’t resist it. Instead, lean into it and allow Him to work.

Love you!♥️

Shaun

You

Good Morning!☀️

It’s YOU! You’re the key.

Everything you touch, you change.

And everything you change, changes you.

Let that sink in.

You’re God’s child.

Inspire someone today!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
