Keep Your Head Up

You have yet to see your brightest days.

I am a living witness that the saying is true, it is always darkest before dawn. I will never understand why, but it is. However, despite our darkest experiences, there’s great news! Nothing and/or no one has the power to stop God’s purpose for our lives. Nope… not at all. Instead of focusing on our pains, disappointments, hurts, and setbacks, let’s keep our heads up and stay focused on the Son (smile). Brighter days are coming.♥️ ~Shaun

Unconditional Love Begins Within

Happy Self-Love Saturday!

I spent decades yearning for someone to love me for me. To love all of me unconditionally. To love me not only when I was at my best, but when I was at my worst—insecure, unmotivated, feeling ugly, and unsure of myself. To love me when I did not make the best decisions. To love me through both good and bad times. Just to love me.

Well, I have finally realized and accepted I am that person I spent years searching for. I had to learn to love myself not only when I was up, but also when I was down. Had to learn to stop criticizing and beating myself up over mistakes and bad decisions. Yeah, I had to love and accept all of me.

I am so very thankful I finally—took forever—found me.♥️ ~ Shaun

You deserve unconditional love, and there is no better person to give it to you than yourself.♥️

Year 45 Month 8 (February 24, 2019)

Smiling as I think about how far I have come. I actually love who I am—without filters, without trying to fit in, without criticizing myself, without trying to change who I am, without seeking validation from others. I love the woman God created. I am truly His child.

When I originally shared this, I was actually trying to encourage myself to embrace all of me. However, it wasn’t until this year, Year50, that I actually did it. I embraced ALL of me. As I said in my previous post, this has been some year! Not the year I thought it would be, but the year I needed it to be. I’m blessed.♥️ ~Shaun

Happy Sunday! Here’s today’s social media find. During different stages of my life, I found myself trying to fit in. I didn’t realize that being different was a blessing, not a curse. I’m not going to lie, I still struggle with the fact that I don’t fit in most circles. Guess you can say I’m more like an octagon.😉😁 Multifaceted. I am rare. I’m exactly how God made me. If you find yourself feeling down because you’re not quite like others, remember, you’re God’s child. You’re exactly who you’re supposed to be. Don’t try to change to fit in. Embrace your uniqueness!

When I shared this, I used the hashtag “EitherULoveMeRUDont.” The same applies today. Either you love me or you don’t. The only thing that matters is that I love myself, and I do.☺️
