Nothing Can Stop God’s Plan

Nothing and/or No One can stop God’s plan for your life. Nope. Not at all. Everything will work out in your favor, even those things that seem impossible. Now, breathe and trust God. He’s got you.

Love you!♥️

Keep Looking Ahead

Such a timely reminder. Keep looking ahead. That’s the way you are going.

Facebook Memory: June 20, 2022

Focus on what’s ahead, not what was left behind. Believe me, God has so much more planned for your future. Trust Him.

Trust God.

That last part—greater is waiting—should be encouragement enough to keep your eyes and focus forward. Again, that’s where you are headed.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Only four more days left in this jubilee year. My next will be 50 years from now. Woohoo!!

Stay Covered

Just woke up from a series of dreams. All three were different. Some people I knew. Some I didn’t. The main themes in all of them were manipulation for entrapment.

Y’all, please be careful out there. Everyone who is pretending to be for you, ain’t for you, and they will go to all ends to achieve detriment. All ends! Even faking being hurt. This isn’t only to destroy you physically but spiritually. They will also use others to finesse you to get it done. So it’s not just them alone. Others are helping.

Not writing this for anyone to be paranoid; however, be cautious. In the last dream, the one that jolted me out of my sleep, I was told the person was going to offer me something small and simple. So simple and small that it seemed harmless. Right before I woke up, someone was handing me something.

Can’t stress this enough—Stay covered!! And use discernment. If it doesn’t feel right, get out!

Please, be careful.

Love you!♥️

Write Your Own Story

Remember to stay in control of the pen. Your life is your story, and you control the narrative. While you may not be able to control everything around you, you do have control over how you react or respond in different situations. This, in turn, lends to the outcome of your story. So, write your story, and make it good. Oh… and start over as many times as you please. Remember, it’s your story. Also, be sure to write the truth because lies will only limit the impact of wonderful experiences.❤️

Love you,

Shaun

Who knows you better than yourself? No one. You are the only one, besides God, who truly knows what you desire from life. So write your story. Feel free to revise as you evolve. Remember, it’s YOUR story.

Write from your authenticity.

Push Through

You got this!

Push through feelings of awkwardness, anxiety, fear, and uncertainty. Push through insecurities, thoughts of inferiority, and feelings of shame. Push through the setbacks, disappointments, feelings of abandonment, and heartaches. Push through the anger, sadness, and loneliness. Push through until you make it to the other side. I can attest that it will not be easy, but it will be so worth it.

Oh… While you are pushing, make sure you are also praying. Prayer and continuous communication with God will sustain you once you get there.

Praying you have a beautifully, blessed day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Today’s Facebook memory has me smiling from ear to ear and in tears. Y’all, what are the odds of actually getting a second chance, getting a do over? Listen, and hear me good, DO NOT give up on your dreams. I can hear Yolanda Adams singing—

“I have a word to share with you. Those who feel God has forgotten you. I know you feel your time has passed. God’s only saving the best for last. And your future’s greater than your past.” Donald Lawrence’s Best For Last featuring Yolanda Adams

I know this word isn’t only for me!! Listen, it’s not over. Your dreams are still intact. If God has given me another go at my dreams, I know He will do the same for you. Your time has not passed. Nope. Not at all. God was only saving the best for last. Your future will be greater than your past.

My advice, because this is what I did and am still doing, stop trying to figure this thing called life out. Stop trying to figure out what your future will look like. Honestly, we can paint a million pictures of how our future might look and God will flip the script and do something we never imagined. We cannot predict what will happen or how things will turn out. We just can’t. So, let life flow and be open to new opportunities and possibilities, and keep your dreams alive. Don’t let them go. I’m seeing 80 year olds getting their doctorate degrees. So all isn’t lost, just delayed until the right time; and only God knows when that is. Until then, enjoy the here and now. Stay present and let God do the rest.

Love you!♥️

Shaun

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to have another conversation with the late John Lewis. However, that opportunity happened by chance anyway. I literally bumped into him as he was coming out of his office. Truly a destiny moment. This is definitely a sign that I cannot give up. I must keep going.

Purpose Part 3

Decided to continue my Purpose series (didn’t know it would become one). For years, I have known what my purpose was/is; however, I have never known how to fully embrace it. My purpose is connected to my dreams and part of my DNA, and there are people attached to them.

Here is another Facebook memory (had so many gems today, some I shared elsewhere):

Facebook Memory: June 8, 2019

Happy Saturday! Here’s today’s social media find. Progress IS progress. Encourage others, but also encourage yourself. It’s true, we’re usually our own worst critic. Just because you’re not where you thought you’d be by now, doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.

This is where journals come in handy. Journals allow us to look back and see how far we’ve actually come. Believe me, if you’re better off than you were a year ago (like me 🙋🏽‍♀️), then you’re making progress. So cut yourself some slack. You’re doing great! Remember, God is working!!

It’s definitely been slow, but continuous. Had a few setbacks but I kept going, and will keep going. Photo Credit: Unknown

This was my first time serving as President-Elect. Beyond grateful for second chances. I had so much more to give, so much more to do. Listen, even when you have given up on your dreams, God has not given up on you. Your purpose is much too great for you not to keep going.

Love you,

Shaun

Make Your Story Beautiful

A few years ago, I shared the following image with the caption, “What are you writing? Hope it’s something beautiful.”

Shared on Facebook on June 6, 2021. (Photo credit: Unknown)

None of us knows what the future holds. Most of the time we look at it through the lens of our past. If we are not careful, we will continue to write and create the same stories.

This year (Year50), and my mom’s death, forced me to stop and reflect on the limiting patterns and stories I kept repeating and creating. Some I had been doing my entire life. I couldn’t seem to let certain parts of my past go. Not so much physically, but mentally. However, once I decided this side of 50 would be different, I intentionally began to make it different. And I am still doing so. It’s an ongoing process that I am committed to continuing. Not sure where my story will take me, but I do knownot believe—it will be beautiful.

I pray your future is just as beautiful. My advice is to release control and allow God to do the rest.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Side note: I used to be terrified of giving God complete control. Didn’t fully trust Him with my future. (Being transparent.) I believed He would bypass my dreams and aspirations to only fulfill His purpose and plan. Now I realize my dreams and aspirations were always part of His purpose and plan. He’s the one who gave them to me. So I have to trust Him to do the rest.

This is Year50

Full Circle Moments

Where do I begin?! Y’all, I wish I wasn’t such an emotional person. My daughter keeps telling me it’s just me. Cancer is my zodiac sign, and she swears I exhibit every single trait. Laughing.

On June 1, 2015 (I can’t believe it’s been nine years), I took office as the president-elect of our state’s dietetics association. Today, nine years later, I am assuming that role, again! This is a three-year commitment—president-elect, president, and then past president. Several posts ago, I mentioned that I had left favor on the table. Well, this is one of those favors I was referring too. Y’all, this favor was packed with opportunities. Opportunities that I believe would have gotten me closer to where I had dreamed of being. However, life happened and I didn’t know how to handle both—life and the opportunities. Well, life won.

As they say, everything happens for a reason, and I am beginning to accept the fact that some of those reasons I may never know. Life is funny like that. However, I do know I have been granted a second chance, a do over, and this time I am going to keep going. I have to keep going.


Y’all, when I tell you God is so good and His love is unmatched! Returning to office wasn’t even on my radar. I had given up on that dream. Had written it off as one of those things that had run its course. Now, here I am again, much wiser, more equipped, and better prepared to see this dream come to fruition.

This is my Year50!

Happy Monday

Found the following images in my Facebook memories. Couldn’t decide which to share so I decided to share both.

Photo Credit: Unknown

On May 27, 2018, I added the following caption when I shared the image above:

I saw this in a tweet and decided to share. When I describe my life to others, I always say my life is full of adventures, and this is EXACTLY what I mean. One roller coaster ride after another. I’m so grateful I know God. He keeps me grounded. Amen

Yes, life is like a roller coaster ride full of ups and downs and twists and turns, but God continues to keep me grounded. I am so grateful for my relationship with Him. Without it, I am not sure where I would be today.

This next image represents who I have become—a woman of vision and faith. The dreams are slowly, but truly, becoming a reality. I am loving this space I am in.

Praying you have a wonderful day.♥️

Thought I’d leave you with a little cuteness. He’s getting so big! I just love being an auntie.🥰
