Year 50: Month 10

Around this time last year, I was trying to spend as much time as I could with my mom. We knew, and she knew, she wasn’t going to be around much longer.

I miss her…

Two more months left in this jubilee year! God is good. Thankful for peace and contentment. Thankful for life. I believe I will celebrate this day by doing something my mom would have liked, or eating one of her favorite dishes. Yeah… that’s what I will do. This one is for you, Dorothy Ree. I love you.♥️

Her firstborn. Almost 50 years together. My momma.💗

My Soul Is Content

I made it to the water, y’all! Now my soul is content. Just needed to feel the vibes and hear the waves. God is good. I am so grateful He loves me. Can’t say it enough, I am truly, truly blessed.♥️ ~Shaun

God always provides what we need. Be careful not to overlook your blessings because they are not what you envisioned. Release control.

I needed this. Serenity…

A Friendly Reminder

Last year, I shared the following Facebook memory below under “Self-Love Saturday.”

Question: When was the last time you reminded yourself of how amazing you are? If it has been a while, stop what you are doing and do it now!

Never wait for others to recognize the greatness God has placed inside of you, or tell you that you are amazing. Just know that you are!

Facebook Memory: January 28, 2023

You are absolutely, undeniably AMAZING! Yes… I’m talking to YOU!♥️

Stay humble, now.😊

Hello Sunday

Celebrating the Final Sunday of Heart Month

Overall, this month has been pretty good! I am excited to announce that I have adopted a new favorite pastime – Drawing!

I have always loved art and spent countless hours drawing as a child (no cable television– lol). While in middle school I took art classes as electives but wasn’t really serious about it. In adulthood, I have spent years admiring others’ work while secretly wishing I could tap into my artistic side again. Well, as the saying goes, “There’s nothing to it but to do it.” Smile.

So that’s exactly what I am doing. I am drawing again! Every day I draw something. Anything. The finished product doesn’t have to be perfect, look good or even be recognizable, as long as I am drawing something. My intention is to become a better drawer/artist over the next year with the ultimate goal of one day becoming an renowned artist. Lately, I have been thinking a lot about legacy and what I want to be known for. Well, besides love, kindness, compassion and being an overall good person, I want to be known for my writings, quotes and artwork. If you have been following my blog over the past month, then you have seen some of my work. I am calling my collection Shaun’s Smile because it’s what makes me smile. Feel free to follow me on Twitter: Shaun’s Smile or Instagram: It’s Shaun’s World to view more of my work.

I used the following drawings with my quotes. Enjoy! ~ Shaun
