My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Y’all, this has been one looooooong Friday. Did anyone else’s Friday seem long? Usually, my Fridays are just as short as my Sundays. However, today was really long. Well, I can only hope that my weekend feels just as long as today. Oh…and that it’s lovely. Hopeful.☺️💗 ~Shaun
I know life has been somewhat rough at times, and you have felt like giving up more times than you care to admit, but hang in there. Please don’t give up. I promise you, you are going to make it. Speaking from a wealth of experiences. Y’all, I made it!!!
Always remember, God has the final say. You were never meant to fail, but to prosper.
Now…
Breathe and keep going!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning! Couldn’t decide which Facebook memory to share, so I decided to share both. The message—
Persevere and create the life you desire and deserve. Don’t stop going or creating until you’ve achieved both. Then… KEEP GOING!♥️
Love you,
Shaun

No holding back. Create the life you desire and deserve.♥️
Good Morning! God is working. He’s moving. Make sure you’re working and moving with Him. Keep going until you see what He said. Then, await further instructions.
That’s the message!♥️
Love you,

Never forget who you are. YOU are brilliant, amazing, and beautiful inside and out. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun
Good Morning!
Last year I shared the following on Facebook:
“It’s YOUR story.
Keep writing!♥️”
Well, the same message applies today. Keep writing because your story is far from over. As long as you have breath in your body, there’s more to be written.
So, keep writing!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Good Morning! Today’s Facebook memory is a great reminder to use discernment when making decisions. Especially when making decisions that are potentially life changing. Here’s what I shared two years ago.
Facebook Memory: September 6, 2022
Discernment– the ability to judge well: the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend what is obscure.
God has given each of us the ability to discern whether or not something is in our best interest. If it’s not, let it go. If it is, embrace it. Discernment is one of our superpowers. Be sure to use it.♥️
That’s it for now. Remember, God has given us all the power of discernment. Let’s use it. Our purposes are too great for us not to.
Love ya.♥️

Good Morning! While we are busy searching for sources to fulfill our needs or fill voids, God is sitting back waiting for us to seek Him. He is the source. He’s the one who provides everything we need, and Ge fills our voids.♥️ ~Shaun
This is so true. Everyone cannot handle our truths. It took me a very long time to realize this—basically, a lifetime. For years I believed people wanted to know the authentic version of me. I thought I could be free and open with people who seemed to like me. It took many heartbreaks and letdowns to learn that most people didn’t want to know the real me, they only wanted to interact with and know the version they could tolerate (not accept). This is why I only have a handful of close friends, and my closest get to experience all of me.
In one of my very first blog posts (June 2018) I wrote—
“It’s not easy being transparent in a world that glorifies what’s fake and shuns reality. Reality isn’t pretty. Reality shows vulnerability– the bumps, bruises and scars.”
This blog site, “It’s Shaun’s World,” was originally created to be a space where I could be authentic and transparent. I really wanted to share my world with others. However, over the years I learned to tone it down and only release bits and pieces of me in small doses. Not everyone likes happiness. Some don’t like quirkiness. And many don’t like when people share their vulnerabilities with the world. Those are things I guess are supposed be kept private or only shared with friends or a therapist. I believed people wanted to know the human side of people—because that’s what I want to get to know, the real—when in reality they only want a character.
Anyhoo… I could go on and on. Here’s what I shared two years ago.
Facebook Memory: August 16, 2022
“Being transparent has its limits. Our lives were never meant to be an open book for all to read. Knowing when, what and with whom to share is vital. Everyone can’t handle your truth.♥️”
Yes, unlike in 2018, I now know this is true. Everyone can’t handle my truth—which is the reason I sometimes write posts that I never share—even when they’re my true experiences. Not everyone would or could understand, and that’s okay.
Well, that’s my truth for now. I pray you have a lovely Friday and beautifully, blessed weekend. Love you!♥️

Y’all, I am still here. Still standing!! When I tell you God is so wonderful. I can hear Marvin Sapp singing–
Here I am, I’m still standing
Here I am, after all I’ve been through
I’ve survived every toil, every snare
I’m alive, I’m alive
Here I am
“Here I Am” by Marvin Sapp
If you’re reading this, YOU are still here and still standing, too. Whatever was meant to destroy you, couldn’t. You’re STILL here!! Love you!♥️ ~Shaun
