My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Good Morning!☀️
I shared the Facebook memory below six years ago, and I still believe it to be true today. If you keep putting in the work and stay focused, in time, your dreams and goals will come true. The key is to never give up.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Guess what?! You know that thing you thought would take you out; that thing you didn’t think you would ever bounce back from. Yeah… THAT thing. Well… Look at you! You’re still here and STILL standing!!
Yessss…. YOU’RE STILL STANDING!!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
You are more powerful than you know. You have the power to choose…
The direction in which your life goes,
How your spirit flows,
What your heart and mind hold.
Yes, YOU are powerful.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
Setbacks.
Plot twists.
Storms.
Life lifeing.
Exhale… Yes, let it all out.
Below is a reblog of my “Wednesday Writings” written on October 26, 2022. Honestly, I am not quite sure what storm or plot twist, as I called it, I was going through. However, I do know I survived it.
Y’all, by the grace of God I am still here and still standing after the countless storms I have been through. I’m so glad God never left me, and that He gave me the strength to endure the pain of whatever I was going through in those seasons.
I pray that whatever setback, storm, plot twist, or life experience you may be currently going through ends soon, very soon, so you’re able to smile, rejoice, and enjoy the goodness of life. Listen, don’t allow your current situation to make you give up hope or change your outlook on life. Where you are today is not where you will stay. You deserve a beautiful, stress-free, pain-free, storm-free life, and you will have one.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Often easier said than done but… Believe.♥️ ~Shaun
You were never created to fit in. Don’t tone down your presence to make others more comfortable. No… Stand in your fullest glory and be YOU!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
Today is a new day! In other words, it’s an opportunity for a new beginning. An opportunity to do something different. To want something different. To expect something different.
Soooo…
What will you do differently?
What do you want to be different?
What are you expecting to be different?
Just a few questions to ponder. Smile
I pray you have an amazing week that’s different and more wonderful than you expected.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
I have always believed in creating something solid. Something that would outlast even me. Something sustainable.
Sustainability was always one of my first thoughts when asked to work on community-based research projects, especially those that had the potential of making or breaking communities—leaving them healthier or leaving them worse.
I always asked—and I’m pretty sure many were annoyed—What’s the plan for after?
After the funding ends.
After the results aren’t found favorable, or publishable.
After a bigger and better opportunity comes along.
What’s the plan for the community?
I have found that commitment, longevity, and endurance are key to sustainability. You have to be committed to the plan (the vision), and in it for the long haul. You have to push through the hard times. Now, I am not going to lie, there were times when I wanted to give up. Times when my heart was so broken that I did give up. Y’all, people be peopling. However, I am now realizing that when God has a purpose for your life, even you can’t stop it!
So, here I am.
What I am building will last. I know this to be true because God didn’t give me a vision for something temporary. For a quick fix. He gave me a vision for something sustainable, where communities will thrive.
Here’s another great share from Bruce Van Horn. When I tell you his posts kept me encouraged! He is missed.
One crawl, one step, and one leap at a time. It will happen… It is happening.♥️

Facebook Memory: October 14, 2023
“Screaming—
YOU GOT THIS!!!
Don’t let anything or anyone stop you. You can do this. Push through the discomfort and uncertainty. You will make it to the other side of this.”
Continue pushing through discomforts, uncertainties, and distractions. You got this!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Happy Sunday, y’all!☀️
Our mental and emotional wellbeing matters just as much as our physical and spiritual. Be sure to surround yourself with people, thoughts, and media (of all kinds) that protect and promote your wellbeing. Remember, you matter, first. You cannot fully pour into others if you’re mentally and emotionally depleted.
Two years ago, I shared the following—
“They say it’s not the water around the boat that sinks it, but the water that gets inside. My prayer for you today is that the water – drama, chaos, dysfunction, bad vibes – remains outside your boat. The goal is to protect your mental health.”
Again, your mental and emotional wellbeing are of utmost importance. Protect both.
I pray you have a wonderful Sunday. Stay afloat!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
