Finding My Tribe

Shaun Bradford

A few months ago when I declared the next 50+ years would be nothing like the last, I had no idea what was coming. Right before I turned 50, I began noticing areas of my life where I had become stagnant. Where if I did not make adjustments, I would never move forward. After I turned 50 (coming up on 50 yrs. 4 months), I thought I would be happily celebrating all year long; instead, I was hit with more revelations about changes and adjustments that were needed. The only way to describe it is I was being pruned. Everything that was holding me back needed to be adjusted or removed. It didn’t feel good. Even had me questioning God, something that I seldom do. However, I listened and did what I needed to do.

A few days ago, I was thinking about how much my life has changed in only a few short months. No more anxiety. No more comparisons. No longer caring what others think. I finally feel free to just BE.

While watching Jada Pinkett Smith’s interview, it dawned on me that I needed to find people with similar beliefs. For far too long I have been trying to fit in spaces that don’t fully embrace me. I’m not going to lie, it can be emotionally and mentally exhausting at times. Since I do not want to spend the next 50+ years alone, I really need to find my people, my tribe. My daughter is getting married and my son is creating his own path. It’s time for me to continue my journey to becoming who I’m destined to be. I can only do this with the love and support of people who truly understand, embrace, and appreciate all of me.♥️

This is Year50

Ask God First

Shaun Bradford

Be sure to consult with God before making your next big move. Moving without His permission could be detrimental. Maybe not physically, but spiritually, emotionally, mentally and/or financially.♥️ ~ Shaun

God has to be in it or it will never work.

Keep God First

Shaun Bradford

Keep God first. Not second. Not third. Not as a last resort. First!

Keep Him first in both good and bad times. Most importantly, honor Him just as strongly when you get what you prayed for as you did while you were praying. First!♥️ ~ Shaun

Keep God first and everything else will fall into place.

Stress Be Gone

Shaun Bradford
You got this!

I know it may not feel like it at times but you are equipped to handle whatever comes your way. God would not have allowed it if He did not believe you could handle it. I am not telling you what I have heard but what I know to be true. So, stop stressing over whether you can do this or not, and know that you can. Under God’s covering, you can handle anything that’s thrown your way! Again, stop stressing and stay covered.

Love you!♥️

Life is Lifing and I’m Kinda in My Feelings

Shaun Bradford

Many of my colleagues are in Denver right now at our national conference, and me… I’m here at home. That used to be my thing. I loved going to our conferences and meeting and interacting with so many people. Now, I’m at home alone watching the excitement via social media. It’s times like these that make me want throw in the towel and go back to life as it was. When I didn’t have to work so hard. Where everything was predictable and the money was steady. But nooo! In Shaun true fashion, I had to choose the adventure, the challenge! Ugh!! Why am I like this?!!? Now look at me! While everyone is having fun, I’m sitting here in this life I created with this crazy notion that I am destined for so much more. Even got my babies believing it.

Message from my blessing (daughter). Even she believes what I walk around saying. I did need this, though. And to hear it from my mini-me made me smile.

I know… this too shall pass.

On another note, when I reached around 830 days of continuous posting, I decided to challenge myself to post two posts daily. Sometimes I post more but two is my goal. Not sure if I will challenge myself to post more when I hit 1000 days. Honestly, I’m excited to see what I’ll do after 1000. I’m pretty sure I’ll come up with something special.

Anyhoo… that’s all I had. Just felt like venting. I really do miss being around my colleagues. I know that the season I am in is only temporary but sometimes it feels like it’s going to last forever. Learning to be patient while God continues to work on me, for me, and through me. I’m so glad He loves me.

Wishing you a blessed night.

Take Care!♥️
