My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Just because your intentions are pure doesn’t mean everyone else’s are. Stay true to who you are and keep doing what you do. Use your God-given discernment to stay protected. In other words, if it doesn’t feel right, it’s not right.♥️ ~Shaun

As soon as I got to my dad’s and hugged everyone, my sister waited until we were alone to ask if I had found a “boo” yet. Laughing as I think about it because that’s like the first thing everyone asks me. I’m so happy my dad has finally stopped asking. His thought now is that I’m too mean. Now, why would he think that? Laughing. I just don’t have time for nonsense.
With all that being said, I know I have written about being ready to love again, and at times I feel it more than others. However, I am actually good with where I am. No longer in a hurry, especially since it didn’t happen before 50. Yeah… 50 was my deadline for finding love. Now I’m like it happens when it happens.
Back to my conversation with my sister. So she tells me that my ex is in a relationship (she saw it on Facebook). Even though I don’t follow him on Facebook, I know he’s been in a relationship for a few years now. Didn’t think it was worth discussing. That’s his business. Anyhoo, she goes on to say that I can’t let him outdo me. That I need to find me a boo too. Hilarious! Baby, this is not a competition. Shaking my head laughing.
Just saw this quote a few minutes ago. Basically, it sums up how I feel about being in a relationship.
Listen, I don’t have to settle for any old table just to keep up with someone else, nor do I have to rush a thing. Just because I am ready to love again doesn’t mean I am desperate. I’m kind of glad God didn’t do things on my timetable because I probably would have settled. He really does know what’s best.

Needed this Facebook memory. Last night, I was thinking about my mom and kept saying to myself, “Don’t cry.” I didn’t want to cry. I hate crying about negative things. Now, happy tears, I will cry happy tears all day. However, whenever the tears want to come when I am sad, hurt, heartbroken, frustrated or mad, I try to hold them in. I try to convince myself that I am strong enough to take blows without producing tears. Those tears make me feel weak and vulnerable so I try to hold them in. So, this particular memory I needed to see. I have a lot of built up tears on the inside that I need to release.
Facebook Memory: August 11, 2023
Heartbroken? Disappointed? Feeling BLAH? OR Just need to cry? Listen, do it because life is hard and your tears will NEVER be wasted. They will either water something new, revive something you believed was dying, or cleanse your soul (gem from my 8th grade Spanish teacher☺️). So cry! Believe me, you’ll feel sooo much better afterwards.♥️
Praying you have an absolutely amazing weekend. Love you!♥️

Have you ever found yourself worried about what others would think if you did XYZ? Even if you don’t want to admit it, you know you have. Well, while you were deep in thought trying make sure whatever you were planning was acceptable or palatable for others, at any moment did you ask yourself, “What will God think?”. Will He approve? Will He disapprove? Will He get the glory?
In my opinion, most of the time we consider God’s thoughts after we have already made our decisions. Although His thoughts do matter to us, we tend to believe He could not possibly understand human affairs. I mean, how could He? Especially in today’s world. So we do our thing and leave Him to handle the spiritual and supernatural stuff.
Question–What would happen if we consulted God first? Would we do what He wanted us to do (y’all remember WWJD)? Or, would we do what we wanted, then ask for forgiveness later?
Just thinking: Would a harmonious world be boring? Does conflict keep things interesting? Guess that’s a question only God can answer. Smile. My thought – Conflict is necessary. Who wants to live in a world of Barbies – fabulous movie. Yes, I believe conflict is necessary but should never become violent.
Anyhoo, let me go before I write even more. This Zyrtec is really kicking in.
Love you! Enjoy your day.♥️

Happy Tuesday!
This morning I visited my Facebook memories for inspiration for today’s blog. Well, I found a lot of inspiration and wanted to share it all but decided to only share a few.
Facebook Memory: August 8, 2022
Caption: Once you experience something, it’s impossible to unexperience it. Your life is forever changed by that experience.
Facebook Memory: August 8, 2022
Caption: How are you waiting? With or without expectation? You know, “Whatever happens, happens,” OR “I’m expecting exceedingly abundantly above all that I ask or think.” Me. I’m doing the latter. I’m EXPECTING great things to happen!💃🏽♥️ Today’s 8/8. New day. New week. New beginnings.🌸
I’m going to end with this video by my fav, Mr. Tyler Perry. The actual Facebook memory from August 8, 2018, was a snippet of the sermon he delivered (yes, he preached – smile), Climb and Maintain.
Climb and maintain means to pray and worship. As we know, life is going to do what it does. No matter what we’re going through we must continue to pray and worship. I know sometimes it’s easier said than done, but it works. Believe me, it has gotten me through some really tough times. Had to make myself do it yesterday and it worked!
This is all I have for you today. Praying you have a wonderful day. Be blessed.♥️
