You Already Have What You Need

Happy Monday!☀️

God has placed within you the keys to becoming everything you desire to be. When it’s time, use them.

You Hold The Keys

You already have everything you need within you to become who you desire to be. No need to continue looking outwardly; look inward. Look at everything you already possess and use it.


This is it for now. I pray you have one of the most amazing weeks!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

empowerment, God’s Timing

Hello Sunday (301)

Good Morning☀️ And Hello Sunday!

Y’all, I woke up with my spirit praising God! My heart is so full right now!! Here’s what I shared on this date five years ago:

“The wait is over. Walk in your season.”

Whew!! Talk about timing! I always say this is the era we were meant to be born in. Not centuries ago (even though we may have been there too😉), not years from now, but NOW! God created us for NOW. We have work to do to ensure future generations thrive!

Yes, it’s on us!

Today’s message is—

It’s your time! Embrace all that God is sending your way. Don’t run from it. Instead, lean into it and give it your all.


Short story and a peek into my world right now:

If you’ve been following my stories, you know I’ve been spending time with my elder friend, Retired Lieutenant Colonel Raylawni Branch (USAF), for a few years now. Most of our conversations center on me joining organizations she’s affiliated with. She keeps telling me that she wants me to serve on certain boards and committees after she’s gone. When she says this, I usually tell her she’ll live at least 20 more years. A couple of weeks ago, she invited me to join her for two luncheons, back to back. This time, instead of making excuses, I went to both. Afterward, I understood the assignment.


I understand the assignment, and this time I’m leaning into it (thanks, Wynne!) instead of running from it. It’s my time!🦋 (Note the “No. 301” in the title. A new beginning!)


This is all I have for now. I pray you have a lovely Sunday. May it be filled with lots of love, joy, and peace.♥️

I’m getting ready to click DND again and enjoy my day. I can really get used to this! Smile

I love you,

Shaun

The Spark I Needed

Hey Y’all! I couldn’t sleep long. Last night’s victories across the nation have reignited every dream I thought possible. Don’t get me wrong, the dreams were still here, but the energy was slowly dissipating. HA! But it’s BACK!!! And this time I… no, we must hit the ground running like never before. Celebrate and get moving. We have work to do!

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” –Harriet Tubman

Your Dreams Are Possible

Georgia’s newly elected governor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, tells the story of being a little girl around six years old, passing the governor’s mansion and wondering what it looked like inside and what it felt like to walk inside. Whew!!! I know that dream. Mine isn’t hers, but it’s so similar. I cannot afford to give up! I must see this thing through.


Before I end, I want to recognize Ms. Stacey Abrams for her leadership and guidance. She was also here in Mississippi, lending her support. Here’s what I wrote several years ago after her run for Governor of Georgia.

“The highlight of the night was not a win, but a beautifully delivered concession speech by Stacey Abrams, Georgia’s gubernatorial candidate. Y’all, Stacey is not finished. I know they thought last night’s results would take her out of the game. Nah.. this loss just gave her more momentum. She’s on fire! And the fire she’s ignited in Georgia is about to spread like wildfire to surrounding states. Yes.. this is ONLY the beginning. Stacey is a change agent.” (Wednesday Writings, November 9, 2022)


This is all for now. We’re still waiting on the results for our Senate race. The race was too close to call, which is a very good thing! This race is so significant for our state. People want change!

I pray that you have a wonderful day. May it be filled with lots of light and love.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

The Power is Ours

“You have the power to choose the direction in which your life goes, how your spirit flows, what your heart and mind hold.” –LaShaundrea B.

You Are Powerful

Hello! And Happy Monday!☀️

I wrote the quote above a couple of years ago and decided to share it again today. It really is true; our power lies in our freedom to decide. Every choice. Every response. Every reaction. Every inaction. Every decision. All are on us.

Of course, there are so many outside factors that can affect our decisions, but when it’s all said and done, as able bodied adults, we have the power to decide.

Anyhoo… This is all for today. I pray that you have a wonderful day and beautiful week! May both be filled with lots of love, joy, and peace.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Wake Up Everybody

Singing Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes’ song, “Wake Up Everybody.” The song says—

Wake up, everybody
No more sleepin’ in bed
No more backward thinkin’
Time for thinkin’ ahead
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be
There is so much hatred
War and poverty

The world won’t get no better
If we just let it be,
The world won’t get no better
We gotta change it, yeah
Just you and me

Lyrics by Genius

“Wake Up Everybody”


“Wake Up Everybody” was written over 50 years ago and the message is still relevant today. We need more people to wake up! Today is Juneteenth (click the “Juneteenth” link to learn more) and so many people still don’t know they’re free.

Empowered people must continue to inform and empower others. Together, we can change the world.

Happy Juneteenth!♥️

I love you,
