It’s Who You Are
Never shy away from who you are. Every part of your being makes you, YOU—every part. Be sure to use them for good.♥️

Good Morning
Good Morning!☀️
How is everything going?
How have you been feeling lately?
Me? I’m so glad you asked.☺️
So, my new year started off on a high note. However, it went downhill soon after—like the next day—when I began thinking about my personal life. I thought about how I chose to be a mom first and built my life around my two—no disrespect to my babies because I would do it all again if I had to. It’s true.
Side note: If you don’t already know, I love being a mom. Y’all, I love everything about motherhood—the good and bad. Believe me, my adult children were regular kids like every other kid. They tested their boundaries and my patience, but I never once regretted having them. They were and truly are my blessings.
Anyhoo… Reality hit me hard a couple of days ago. I’m talking hard! For a minute, I felt completely lost and alone. Y’all, I am single—like, single, single—grown kids, no man single—and I’m 51.
That’s when I knew I needed a change of scenery to clear my mind, so I hit the road. I wasn’t about to sit and wallow in my thoughts of what I didn’t or don’t have. Yes, I am 51, but I refuse to believe my best days are behind me. That I missed out on God’s plans for my personal life because I chose to make my babies a priority.
This morning I came across a Facebook memory from a few years ago and was reminded that everything that happened in my life, happened the way and in the order that God planned. I may not understand it, but I accept it. I accept it, and I’m letting it go. I must let it go. I know God’s got me.
Well, that’s how I’ve been feeling lately. How about you?😅
Don’t forget, today is Self-Love Saturday! Remember to treat yourself a little extra special today.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
It’s Done
Whatever you’ve asked of God, know that it’s done. Yes, it’s already done. Now, carry on. He’s got you!♥️
Love you,

Again, Allow God To Lead
Sharing the same message I shared a few days ago—Allow God to lead. You don’t have to understand the task or have all the details. Just be ready to move when God says move.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Don’t Wait, Create
I was scrolling down one of my pages and saw this message I shared in 2023.
Today’s message is—
Don’t wait for everything to be perfect before you start creating the life you’ve always imagined. Do it now! Block out the noise, fears, and doubts, and start today!
Remember, you’ve already taken the limits off yourself and God, so what are you waiting for? You got this!
Love you!♥️

God’s Got A Blessing
Singing Norman Hutchins’ song “God’s Got A Blessing (With Your Name On It).” The song says—
It makes no difference
What you’re going through
You’re going to make it
God’s going to see you thru
Hold your head up
Put a smile on your face
This is another test
It won’t last always
Get ready for your blessing
Get ready for your miracle
Get ready for your blessing
Get ready for your miracle
Smile and hold your head up! God’s got a blessing with YOUR name on it. That’s right! He sure does. And that blessing is called life, and it has your name all over it.
I know 2024 is coming to an end and you may not have achieved everything you wanted to, but this is not THEE end. Tomorrow’s a new day and a new year, and it’s filled with all kinds of blessings with your name on them. Listen, God’s got you!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Allow God to Lead
As we enter 2025, remember to allow God to lead. Only He knows what lies ahead. You don’t have to see or understand His plan to trust Him.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Happy New Year’s Eve
Good Morning!☀️
Usually, I have more to say at the end of the year than I do today. Last year I wasn’t feeling well on New Year’s Eve so being in good health is a plus. Here’s what I wrote in my journal moments before midnight.
December 31, 2023: Shaun’s Journal Entry
“I am planning to ease into 2024 with love, peace, joy and gratitude. I am thankful for all that I currently have while looking forward to the blessings 2024 will bring. Not going to allow what’s happening around me to get inside me.”
That’s how I entered 2024 and it pretty much remained the same throughout the year. I entered it with love, peace, joy and gratitude. I expected blessings to come my way, and they did. Also, I didn’t allow what was happening around me get inside me. Since it worked last year, I’m just going to carry it over into 2025.
On another note… I will have a 30 year old in less than a month! I know, I’m saying it like she’s almost 30 months instead of three decades. Laughing. Y’all, it’s crazy! Where did the time go? Honestly, where did it go? And now, what do I do? I guess that’s been the real question lately, what do I do now, personally? I know what to do professionally, but I’m completely lost on the personal side. Y’all, I’ve been a mother the majority of my adult life and before then I was taking care of my siblings—since age six. I’m for real, I have absolutely no idea how to be a regular, single adult. Crazy, huh?! Just thinking about it is mind blowing. Well, I guess I’ll add that to my list of things to figure out or navigate through in 2025. Yes, it’s time I set some personal goals. Feeling excited!
Before I end, I would like to thank God for bringing me and my family through this year unharmed and healthy. I’m not sure what 2025 holds, but I do know God will be with me every step of the way, AND I am going to be obedient and remain covered.
Well, this turned out to be a hodgepodge of ramblings. Smile.
Y’all, God is moving and I’m moving right along with Him. I refuse to be left behind.
That’s all I have and I’m going to publish it as written. I haven’t had a good ramble lately. I pray your year ends with love, peace, joy, and understanding. May it also bring you clarity for the year ahead.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
P.S. And I thought I didn’t have much to say.☺️
Transformation
** Had this already scheduled to post before I found out President Carter passed. Was going to reschedule it but won’t. I pray that this message encourages someone to allow God to move in their lives. I love y’all!!♥️
We’re only days from 2025, and a change is already happening. I know you can feel it because I surely can!
It’s the feeling of God transforming you into who you were created to be. Don’t resist it. Instead, lean into it and allow Him to work.
Love you!♥️
Shaun
