Note To Self

Shaun Bradford
From 2020–2021, I volunteered as a registered dietitian for the nonprofit Peace & Pearls Single Parent Support Network, Inc. I also created motivational messages/graphics for their social media platforms. As you can see, I shared this particular message on March 31, 2021. The messages were not only for the parents but they were also for me.🥰

Note to Self: The comeback is always stronger than the setback. – LaShaundrea

Setbacks will happen. They are a part of life. But so are comebacks!

You got this!!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 80

Shaun Bradford

When I tell you God KNOWS just what we need when we need it! I needed this message below to kick off today’s celebration.🎉

“Leave No Crumbs” by Sarah Jakes Roberts

Thank you, SJR!

Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts’ (SJR) words reminded me that I’m not who I used to be. I’m no longer the person I was ten years ago, not even a year ago (yeah…my life is transitioning fast). As she suggested in her message, the self-preservation method I was using before is no longer effective for where God is taking me. It’s time for me to let it go, stop resisting the change, and embrace the newest version of myself so I can move forward. I’ve been feeling this a lot lately. I just needed to hear it, and hear it clearly.

I’m listening, God! I’m ready for where you’re taking me!

Forever grateful and beyond blessed to experience and reside in God’s love.♥️

I Love You

Good Morning☀️

On March 28, 2019, I began my journal entry with—

“Note to future LaShaundrea: I love you.”

Can’t help but cry.

Shaun… LaShaundrea, I love YOU! I love you for life. I love the little girl, teenager, young adult, and now seasoned adult you’ve become, and the wise elder you will be. Yes, I love ALL of YOU.

Many thanks to my past self for leaving that message for me. I have a notification on my phone set at different times throughout the day that says, “Smile. I love you.” I set them to remind me to smile and know I am loved. Well, now it’s just something that pops up and I swipe away. However, seeing this today means so much more. I needed to see it today.

Thank you, past Shaun, for sending love to me today, of all days. Smiling while crying. The fact that I didn’t send it to future Shaun, but to future LaShaundrea is mind blowing. Although we’re the same person, we are not the same. LaShaundrea needs the love today.

Y’all, welcome to my world, where I leave messages for my future self.

I love my life. I used to wonder, and still do at times, why God created me the way He did. I believe the answer is because He loves me, and He loves what He created.

I love you!♥️

Good Morning☀️

When I tell you the following Facebook memory gave me chills! Whew!!

When I shared this post four years ago, I had just taken a giant leap of faith. Today, I’m finally beginning to see the fruits of that leap. God set the stage. All I had to do was make things happen.

In a few hours, I’m giving another nutrition presentation. This one includes a cooking demo—grilled honey-lime salmon with pan roasted vegetables (both low-sodium). Then, tomorrow and Saturday, it’s conference time. Yay!

Y’all, I am so grateful God didn’t give up on me and kept my dreams alive. I am truly blessed.🙏🏽

That’s all for now. I pray your day is just as amazing as you are!♥️

Je t’aime,

Shaun

Peace

Shaun Bradford

Peace.

At the end of the day, we’re all longing for peace—peace of mind, a peaceful life, and world peace. It’s peace that we want.

As with love and hope, God is peace. And His peace transcends everything.♥️

Wishing you love and peace,

Shaun
