My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
TEN DAYS till Year 52!💗
As a kid, I never imagined my life beyond my 20s, and my 30s never crossed my mind. Now, here I am in my 50s! Talk about mind-blowing! I am beyond grateful, taking nothing—not one thing—for granted.
God is so good.♥️

Year52 is loading…
Good morning to you!☀️
Today, I am soaking up every ounce of God’s goodness. I am taking in every smile, positive interaction, fond memory, and ounce of love I receive and holding them closely. I’m living in this moment, the here and now.
Thank You, God, for all Your blessings. Thank You for giving me life and surrounding me with Your love. Thank You for covering me with Your peace, protection, mercy, and grace. All honor, praise, and glory belongs to You. Amen
I pray that you have one of the most amazing self-love Saturdays yet. Be sure to disconnect from the negative and surround yourself with positive thoughts and energy, only. Your mind, heart, soul, and spirit will thank you.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
**This may or may not be my only post for today. Today, I’m just vibing with the flow of life. Take care.🌸
As I said in 2019, God is always moving, and I’m moving with Him. Sometimes I wish I knew where He was taking me or what was ahead. Wouldn’t life flow smoother if I did? But then, sometimes I say, “God, surprise me!”
Today, I’m at the point where I am sitting back and watching Him work. Wherever He takes me, He takes me. Whatever lies ahead will be. No matter what, I am certain that wherever I land, He will be with me, He’ll never leave me, and everything will work out in my favor because He loves me.
I am truly blessed.♥️

Never stop creating. There’s so much more to your story. So much more God has in store.
Keep creating.
Keep going!♥️
I love you always,
Shaun
Sitting here reflecting on when my life took a major shift around 10-11 years ago. I was entering my fourth decade of life, and was in the process of getting a divorce. Looking back, I can’t believe I went through and overcame as much as I did. God is so good!
On June 13, 2015, I wrote in my journal that my house was about to be foreclosed on, and I didn’t know where I’d get the money to save it. Well, I never got the money, and it went into foreclosure. That was a difficult year—probably one of my most difficult ones—but I made it.
I started that entry with—
“Thank you Lord for all you’ve done and continue to do. Lord I thank you for grace. I thank you for loving me. So many times I don’t see a way, but you make a way.”
Well, God didn’t make a way in the way I wanted Him to. I lost the house. However, I’ve gained so much more since that loss. The knowledge and experience I’ve gained from multiple setbacks and restarts over the years have only made me stronger.
I ended the entry with a self-discovery that has shaped who I am today. I wrote—
“I’ve tried to be like others, but it didn’t make me happy. Now I’m embracing the true me, the forever evolving me, and I love it, but some don’t. They liked the fake Shaun. Well, I’m me!”
I love how I picked up on and embraced the “forever evolving me.” Because that’s who and what I am. I am forever evolving. Who I am today will not be who I am next week, next year, or ten years from now, and I’m okay with that, because I love being me!
God, thank You for making me, ME!♥️
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I pray that you’re well.🌸
Here’s one of my Facebook memories from three years ago (June 13, 2022).
“Nothing that is truly for you will require you to betray yourself in order to achieve it.”
I believe this quote to be true. You will never have to betray yourself for whatever is meant for you. What’s meant for you will align with your purpose, which can only be fulfilled by being authentically you. So, stay true to who you are. Everything will come at the right time and fall in line. Believe me, God’s got you!
I pray you have a wonderful day and beautiful weekend. May both be filled with love, joy, peace, and laughter.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
For the last hour or so, I have been singing Commissioned’s song “Victory.”
The song says—
“But God said. Hold your peace. Vengeance is mine. Enemies will bow down in due time. Hold your peace. I’ll fight your battles. Victory, victory shall be mine. Victory, victory shall be mine. Victory, victory shall be mine. …
Victory’s mine I know. The Bible tells me so. And if I hold my peace, it is mine, indeed. Oh, victory!” Amen
I don’t know about you, but I’m allowing God to fight the battles I can’t. Some things are just above my pay grade.
I pray your day has been great so far. Keep God first, and continue to allow Him to lead and handle those things and situations you cannot. He’s got you!♥️
I love you,
Shaun
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
“Shaun’s World” was the original name of my blog. I’m not sure when I changed it to “It’s Shaun’s World.” A couple of days ago, I celebrated my 7th Anniversary of blogging. I hadn’t realized I had been blogging for so long.
On June 11, 2018, I wrote the following in my journal—
“I launched my birthday blog early. I was bored and had things to share. It’s called “Shaun’s World.” It’s me and all of my quirkiness. I needed this outlet. I’ll see how long I can keep this up.”
I started this blog to commemorate my 45th birthday, but as I mentioned, I launched it early. I needed an outlet besides Twitter and Facebook to express myself without being completely judged. Thank you for allowing me this space.
Here’s what I shared in my first post on June 9/10, 2018 (there are two different dates on the post).
Welcome to Shaun’s World, Again! Lol
Ha! I had published this same blog on my old site. That site is being deactivated. So follow me on this site. My new site.
Welcome to the world of random thoughts, inside jokes and carefree writing. Yes, it’s Shaun’s World!
This site isn’t meant to be stuffy or too serious because all of that is pretty boring. It takes too much thought and time to create those sites (been there, done that) when all I want to do is share.
So, be warned, grammatical errors will happen; corny jokes will be told; heartfelt and meaningless stories will be shared and life will go on.
Again, welcome to Shaun’s World!
Muah!
#Year45
Again, thank you for allowing me this space to freely express myself and be ME. I truly appreciate YOU!
Love you!♥️
Shaun
On June 11, 2019, I began my journal entry with—
Singing, “Anointing fall on me. Anointing fall on me. Let the power of the Holy Ghost fall on me. Anointing fall on me.” Amen
I mentioned that I was about to rewatch Sarah Jakes Roberts’ message “Unfinished Business ” from that Pentecost Sunday. I had been on the phone with my mom and had missed most of the message.
I also wrote about Leah Chase being laid to rest the day before, and how my conversation with her was connected with the nutrition sessions I was providing for children attending a summer camp. During our meeting in 2014, Chef Leah encouraged me to teach children about where food came from—that it didn’t come from the grocery store but from gardens and farms. So, on the day of her funeral, I was doing just that.
I wrote so much more on that day (I usually write several times a day); however, I ended the day with this—
“Whew! God just blows my mind. For real.”
And He does. Every day He blows my mind. He’s so wonderful. Just to know Him and be in His presence is indescribable.
God, thank You for loving me. Thank You for showing me YOU!
Amen
Shaun♥️
It’s Shaun’s World
