“Everyone has their own road to travel,” is what I wrote a few years ago. It seems like the older I get the more evident this becomes. No matter how much we want things and relationships to remain the same they won’t. Life is constantly evolving. Everyone has their own lives with their own set of dreams, goals and problems. And of course I have mine!
My world is finally opening back up and it looks totally different from the way it looked pre-COVID. I’m not afraid of what the future holds. However, it saddens me that things are no longer the same. As many of us have experienced, change – positive or negative – can be difficult to accept and adjust to, but it’s so necessary.
On this day three years ago, I wrote: “Reflect, Regroup, Refocus.” Never have I felt the need to do this as much as I do now. Change is inevitable and it’s happening right before my eyes. The only thing that has remained constant, and will always remain constant, is God’s presence and love. And you best believe I’m not letting those go. Nope! I’m leaning on Him even more.
Been avoiding the Will Smith/Chris Rock topic like I have been avoiding COVID-19. Not even going to dive deep into what took place. I’m still a fan of both men as well as Jada’s. A day or two before the incident happened, I posted a quote that read, “Sometimes good people make bad choices. It doesn’t mean they are bad. It means they are human.” God bless them all.
So, the only reason I referred to the incident is because of the Facebook memory I’ll share later. It’s about unconditional love. What do you think? Does unconditional love exist?
Well, I believe it does.
I believe.. and this is only my opinion.. I believe most people love unconditionally but won’t admit it. They will admit to loving family members under the guise of ‘blood is thicker than water.’ However, they seldom admit to loving significant others the same. Family, they love no matter what they do, but significant others are rarely given the same courtesy. I wonder why?
Anyhoo… here’s a post I shared several months ago about unconditional love.
Facebook Memory: November 6, 2021
Yesterday, I watched Oprah’s interview with Will Smith about his new book. Y’all, he dropped so many gems during their conversation that I had to pre-order the book. Can’t wait to read it!
Well afterwards, I couldn’t stop thinking about unconditional love. How many people actually find that person that no matter what happens in their relationship they’re bonded for life? Not because they feel obligated to be with that person, but because they truly love them. Y’all, that’s some deep stuff!
I also watched General Colin Powell’s funeral service yesterday. He and his wife were married almost 60 years. As with any marriage, I know they had their ups and downs; however, they stuck it out.
My prayer for us (those who want it) is that God sends us someone who loves us unconditionally (flaws, moods, craziness and all), and we love them just the same. No more one-sided giving. Mutual love. Mutual respect. Mutual support. Amen (Please feel free to add to this prayer. What else do you want?😉)
Unconditional love with a significant other is what I’m aiming for, and I know it’s possible!
Side note – Finished watching “Bridgerton” a few days ago so I’m more open to finding love.Yes, love is in the air!It’s time to find my King.I’m honestly thinking about referring to him as “Your Grace.”😂
Had to end on a lighter note. Please have a wonderful day and fabulous week! Thanks for reading.
How many of you were dreamers as a child? Well, I sure was! From designing clothes, cars and houses to becoming an ambassador walking the halls of the United Nations, the list of things I wanted to do or become was endless. Guess what? I still believe I can do and become whatever I want.🤷🏽♀️ And so can you! Tap into your inner child and create the life you’ve always dreamed. ~ Shaun
Life is so much better when you allow God to lead. Now, I have to be honest, His guidance is a little unconventional and can be uncomfortable at times. However, He knows what He’s doing and where He’s taking you. So relax and enjoy the ride. He’s got you! ~ Shaun
Seems like this has been one long month; or rather, this month has been one long week. Honestly, it seems as if the hours and tasks have been never ending. I believe I have done more this month than I’ve done in an entire year, two years even. Maybe it’s because things are opening back up, or because I’m finally getting back out. Probably the latter.
I’m not going to lie, it feels good to socialize again. Didn’t realized how much I needed to be around people other than family. I’m a people person. I love meeting people and holding random conversations. So getting back out felt really good. I actually felt like I was living again.
Well, with that said, “living again” has also been very draining, physically as well as mentally. In certain environments I have been able to socialize mask free; however, COVID-19 has always been at the forefront of my mind. Are they vaccinated? Where’s my hand sanitizer? Where’s my mask? Why are they not wearing masks? Social distance, please! Whew, it’s been a lot!
I guess you can say from here on out it’s back to business as normal but with precautions. This coming Saturday my son has another campus tour. Meaning we have to be around people. Then, next week, I have another conference to attend. Which means even more people. Yeah.. no more bubble for me. It’s back to business as usual.
Thanks for reading and please enjoy the rest of your week!
It’s Shaun’s World
