Miracles Happen Everyday
Can’t you hear Luther Vandross singing, “Little miracles happen everyday”? He goes on to say, “What is a miracle? Love is a miracle…” Yes, love is a miracle. It surrounds us daily. It’s one of God’s greatest miracles and it’s available to all. Receive it!♥️ ~Shaun
I really need to start back drawing. Been slacking. I guess it’s another thing I need to be more intentional about.
One Decision
I agree, ONE decision can change the entire trajectory of life.
I often wonder what life would have been like had I stayed in Kansas after graduation; had I not joined the Air Force. Would I still be living in the same town? Would I be married with several kids? What kind of career would I have?
There are so many instances where one decision could have significantly changed my life. Also where one decision did change my life. Overall, I am satisfied with the decisions I made. Could have made a few more wiser ones, but I didn’t, and it is what it is. Smiling
Praying God gives me the wisdom and courage (fear is a bugaboo) to make better decisions as I navigate through the next 50 years of life.♥️

Grateful For Second Chances
Facebook Memory: February 13, 2023
God loves us so much that He gives us opportunity after opportunity to get things right. If we miss them, it’s on us. So grateful for second chances.♥️
Often, when we think of second chances, we think of opportunities we missed accepting. However, it also applies to opportunities we should have rejected or declined.
A couple of weeks ago, I found myself at a familiar crossroad, to accept—which I had done many times before and felt miserable afterward—or decline an opportunity. Well, this time I declined the opportunity. Had told a friend that I felt like I was being tested. Well, I was! Not even a few days later, I was presented with another opportunity, a better one; one that was perfectly aligned with my goals and purpose, and it was completely unexpected. I didn’t even see it coming. When I tell you I cried! Had I accepted the other opportunity, I would have been miserable, again. Which would have affected my mental and emotional, and probably physical, wellbeing. Listen, it felt so good to finally pass that test and I was gifted something better. Smiling
Here is how I am moving going forward. I am no longer accepting things that are not aligned with my goals, purpose, values, or worth. I asked God for different, which means I have to move differently. I am not saying I won’t make some of the same mistakes as before (I’m human), but it won’t take me as long to correct them. I’m growing. Life is changing. And I am so here for it. This side of 50 is different.
Well, that’s all I have for now. Wishing you a wonderful Galentine’s Day (you too, fellas😊)!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Fly Away
Didn’t really know what to share for my second post of the day. Thought about not sharing anything at all. Was going to let today be a one post day. Then I kept hearing “fly away.” The first thing that popped up on Google was Lenny Kravitz’s song, “Fly Away.” Here are the lyrics. So soothing. So peaceful. Now, the actual song is anything but peaceful; however, it is somewhat soothing. I can see myself just letting go and being carefree. Anyhoo… Praying you are enjoying your day. Love you!♥️
I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly
I’d fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please, oh
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Let’s go and see the stars
The Milky Way or even Mars
Where it could just be ours
Let’s fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
Oh, oh, oh yeah
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Self Love
I used to believe doing something nice for myself was self love. I would buy myself something nice, treat myself to a fabulous meal, get a massage, or spend the day doing either everything I wanted to do or nothing at all. That was my definition of self love. Now… Now, it’s more about protecting my peace and my holistic wellbeing with my spiritual and mental wellness being most important.
Here are a few things I have finally learned and implemented:
– Saying “no” to things I don’t want to do, and without feeling guilty (yeah…it used to weigh on me), is self love. “No” is a complete sentence. No explanation needed.
– Protecting my space (physically and mentally) is self love. I am so mindful of who and/or what I allow into my space. Discernment has been key.
– Receiving good things without feeling like I don’t deserve them is self love. Yes, I deserve good things. I deserve God’s best. I mean, I am His child! Smile
– Being nurtured instead of always being the nurturer is self love. Listen, once you have been on the receiving side you can’t imagine settling for anything less.
– Putting myself and my needs first is self love. I believe this has allowed me to love even deeper. It has definitely strengthened my relationship with God.
It took me forever to get here (decades). And now that I am finally here I have no intentions of going back to life as it was. I love it here. Smiling
Guess you could say this is life beyond Year50.
I pray you have found true self love. Believe me, it’s beautiful and so peaceful.♥️
