My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Just finished a Zoom meeting for my ‘oh so’ exciting second chance. Laughing at myself. Umm… Tell me why I thought things were still the same as nine years ago. I mean, of course I knew things had changed, but I don’t remember so much work being involved. Laughing. Boy, have times changed. But I’m up for the challenge. Team work will definitely make this dream work. We’re in this together.
Listen, y’all pray my strength in the Lord.😅

Somebody lied. Fifty is not the new forty. Just saying.
Such a timely reminder. Keep looking ahead. That’s the way you are going.
Facebook Memory: June 20, 2022
Focus on what’s ahead, not what was left behind. Believe me, God has so much more planned for your future. Trust Him.
That last part—greater is waiting—should be encouragement enough to keep your eyes and focus forward. Again, that’s where you are headed.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Only four more days left in this jubilee year. My next will be 50 years from now. Woohoo!!

Today’s Facebook memory has me smiling from ear to ear and in tears. Y’all, what are the odds of actually getting a second chance, getting a do over? Listen, and hear me good, DO NOT give up on your dreams. I can hear Yolanda Adams singing—
“I have a word to share with you. Those who feel God has forgotten you. I know you feel your time has passed. God’s only saving the best for last. And your future’s greater than your past.” Donald Lawrence’s Best For Last featuring Yolanda Adams
I know this word isn’t only for me!! Listen, it’s not over. Your dreams are still intact. If God has given me another go at my dreams, I know He will do the same for you. Your time has not passed. Nope. Not at all. God was only saving the best for last. Your future will be greater than your past.
My advice, because this is what I did and am still doing, stop trying to figure this thing called life out. Stop trying to figure out what your future will look like. Honestly, we can paint a million pictures of how our future might look and God will flip the script and do something we never imagined. We cannot predict what will happen or how things will turn out. We just can’t. So, let life flow and be open to new opportunities and possibilities, and keep your dreams alive. Don’t let them go. I’m seeing 80 year olds getting their doctorate degrees. So all isn’t lost, just delayed until the right time; and only God knows when that is. Until then, enjoy the here and now. Stay present and let God do the rest.
Love you!♥️

Decided to continue my Purpose series (didn’t know it would become one). For years, I have known what my purpose was/is; however, I have never known how to fully embrace it. My purpose is connected to my dreams and part of my DNA, and there are people attached to them.
Here is another Facebook memory (had so many gems today, some I shared elsewhere):
Facebook Memory: June 8, 2019
Happy Saturday! Here’s today’s social media find. Progress IS progress. Encourage others, but also encourage yourself. It’s true, we’re usually our own worst critic. Just because you’re not where you thought you’d be by now, doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.
This is where journals come in handy. Journals allow us to look back and see how far we’ve actually come. Believe me, if you’re better off than you were a year ago (like me 🙋🏽♀️), then you’re making progress. So cut yourself some slack. You’re doing great! Remember, God is working!!
This was my first time serving as President-Elect. Beyond grateful for second chances. I had so much more to give, so much more to do. Listen, even when you have given up on your dreams, God has not given up on you. Your purpose is much too great for you not to keep going.
Love you,
Shaun
God has already equipped us with everything we need at this present moment to fulfill our purpose and calling for this present moment. Of course, we may desire more. I mean, that’s human nature. However, we do not need more. Y’all, it is on us to make things happen with what God has already provided. As we need more, He will provide more.♥️ ~Shaun
Where do I begin?! Y’all, I wish I wasn’t such an emotional person. My daughter keeps telling me it’s just me. Cancer is my zodiac sign, and she swears I exhibit every single trait. Laughing.
On June 1, 2015 (I can’t believe it’s been nine years), I took office as the president-elect of our state’s dietetics association. Today, nine years later, I am assuming that role, again! This is a three-year commitment—president-elect, president, and then past president. Several posts ago, I mentioned that I had left favor on the table. Well, this is one of those favors I was referring too. Y’all, this favor was packed with opportunities. Opportunities that I believe would have gotten me closer to where I had dreamed of being. However, life happened and I didn’t know how to handle both—life and the opportunities. Well, life won.
As they say, everything happens for a reason, and I am beginning to accept the fact that some of those reasons I may never know. Life is funny like that. However, I do know I have been granted a second chance, a do over, and this time I am going to keep going. I have to keep going.
Y’all, when I tell you God is so good and His love is unmatched! Returning to office wasn’t even on my radar. I had given up on that dream. Had written it off as one of those things that had run its course. Now, here I am again, much wiser, more equipped, and better prepared to see this dream come to fruition.
This is my Year50!
