Happy Father’s Day

Shaun Bradford

Today, I am veering a little off script. Instead of writing my Father’s Day message under my “Hello Sunday” post, I have decided to give fathers their own post.

To all of my wonderful fathers out there, know that we see you. Yes, we actually see you. We see you, and you are loved and appreciated. Enjoy your day!💙

Alton Sutton (my daddy) inspired.

Spending the day with my daddy. Not sure how much longer we have left together. Going to spend as much time as possible with him as I can. He’s not sick, but he is getting older and moving a little slower. He’s my heart.♥️

Me and my daddy.

Grateful, Blessed, and Loved

Shaun Bradford

Didn’t know what I wanted to share this morning. Having a lot of mixed emotions. However, grateful, blessed, loved are what I am feeling most.

Last night I attended a birthday party celebrating my grandmother’s first cousin’s 70th birthday. It was such a beautiful celebration. I only wish my mom and grandma were still alive to celebrate it with us. I miss them both soooo much. However, spending time with family—some of which I hadn’t seen in ages—made me feel as if they were still with me, just couldn’t make it to the party.

My grandma had 11 children—7 boys and 4 girls. My mom was the oldest. My aunt, Jackie, is her last surviving sister on my grandmother’s side. She’s only four years older than me. One of my first babysitters and playmates.💗

Grateful, blessed, and loved.♥️

Friday Vibes

As Aaliyah sings—

It’s Friday (Hey)
And I’m ready to swing, pick up my girls
And hit the party scene
Tonight, oh, it’s alright, mhm
So get up and let this funky mellow grove get you in the mood
‘Cause you know it’s alright, yeah

Keep on groovin’
(Don’t stop movin’)
Don’t stop movin’
Let me see you, let me see you go

Back, back, forth, and forth (Go back)
Let me see you go
Back, back, forth, and forth (Alright)
I wanna see you go
Back, back, forth, and forth (Come on)
Let me see you go
Back, back, forth, and forth (See you go back and forth)

“Back & Forth” by Aaliyah
Lyrics: Musixmatch

Never Stop Creating

Shaun Bradford

On June 13, 2022, I wrote:

If you can imagine it, I wholeheartedly believe you can create it. It may not look exactly like what you’ve imagined, but create it anyway. Silence that voice that says it’s not good enough because God will step in and perfect it. So create!

This image was shared with the caption above. What a difference two years make. Smiling because I know it’s only going to get better with time.

Keep creating.

One day what you see will be what you imagined.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Your Time Is Coming

Shaun Bradford

Y’all, today was the first day in months that I didn’t wake up and go straight to my Facebook memories. Hadn’t even thought about them until now (it’s almost 9 AM). No, today was different. Today, I woke up thinking about my future, not my past. I didn’t even read past journal entries. Hmm… think I can get used to this. Anyhoo… I needed content for my second blog so of course I finally checked my memories. Here’s one from 2022. Smile.♥️ ~Shaun

Facebook Memory: June 11, 2022

God is working! You may not see it or feel it, but He is. So hang in there. Don’t give up hope. Your time is coming.

Be patient!

Push Through

Shaun Bradford
You got this!

Push through feelings of awkwardness, anxiety, fear, and uncertainty. Push through insecurities, thoughts of inferiority, and feelings of shame. Push through the setbacks, disappointments, feelings of abandonment, and heartaches. Push through the anger, sadness, and loneliness. Push through until you make it to the other side. I can attest that it will not be easy, but it will be so worth it.

Oh… While you are pushing, make sure you are also praying. Prayer and continuous communication with God will sustain you once you get there.

Praying you have a beautifully, blessed day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
