My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Every experience, every lesson, every tear, heartbreak, setback, and disappointment were all for a purpose. Everything we’ve gone through will be, or is currently being, used to help us along our journey, or to help someone else along theirs. So, none of it is being wasted. Be Blessed.♥️ ~Shaun
For those who saw the original post, I thought of something better—same message, new title and image.☺️
Y’all, today was the first day in months that I didn’t wake up and go straight to my Facebook memories. Hadn’t even thought about them until now (it’s almost 9 AM). No, today was different. Today, I woke up thinking about my future, not my past. I didn’t even read past journal entries. Hmm… think I can get used to this. Anyhoo… I needed content for my second blog so of course I finally checked my memories. Here’s one from 2022. Smile.♥️ ~Shaun
Facebook Memory: June 11, 2022
God is working! You may not see it or feel it, but He is. So hang in there. Don’t give up hope. Your time is coming.
Push through feelings of awkwardness, anxiety, fear, and uncertainty. Push through insecurities, thoughts of inferiority, and feelings of shame. Push through the setbacks, disappointments, feelings of abandonment, and heartaches. Push through the anger, sadness, and loneliness. Push through until you make it to the other side. I can attest that it will not be easy, but it will be so worth it.
Oh… While you are pushing, make sure you are also praying. Prayer and continuous communication with God will sustain you once you get there.
Praying you have a beautifully, blessed day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Today’s Facebook memory has me smiling from ear to ear and in tears. Y’all, what are the odds of actually getting a second chance, getting a do over? Listen, and hear me good, DO NOT give up on your dreams. I can hear Yolanda Adams singing—
“I have a word to share with you. Those who feel God has forgotten you. I know you feel your time has passed. God’s only saving the best for last. And your future’s greater than your past.” Donald Lawrence’s Best For Last featuring Yolanda Adams
I know this word isn’t only for me!! Listen, it’s not over. Your dreams are still intact. If God has given me another go at my dreams, I know He will do the same for you. Your time has not passed. Nope. Not at all. God was only saving the best for last. Your future will be greater than your past.
My advice, because this is what I did and am still doing, stop trying to figure this thing called life out. Stop trying to figure out what your future will look like. Honestly, we can paint a million pictures of how our future might look and God will flip the script and do something we never imagined. We cannot predict what will happen or how things will turn out. We just can’t. So, let life flow and be open to new opportunities and possibilities, and keep your dreams alive. Don’t let them go. I’m seeing 80 year olds getting their doctorate degrees. So all isn’t lost, just delayed until the right time; and only God knows when that is. Until then, enjoy the here and now. Stay present and let God do the rest.
Love you!♥️

Decided to continue my Purpose series (didn’t know it would become one). For years, I have known what my purpose was/is; however, I have never known how to fully embrace it. My purpose is connected to my dreams and part of my DNA, and there are people attached to them.
Here is another Facebook memory (had so many gems today, some I shared elsewhere):
Facebook Memory: June 8, 2019
Happy Saturday! Here’s today’s social media find. Progress IS progress. Encourage others, but also encourage yourself. It’s true, we’re usually our own worst critic. Just because you’re not where you thought you’d be by now, doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.
This is where journals come in handy. Journals allow us to look back and see how far we’ve actually come. Believe me, if you’re better off than you were a year ago (like me 🙋🏽♀️), then you’re making progress. So cut yourself some slack. You’re doing great! Remember, God is working!!
This was my first time serving as President-Elect. Beyond grateful for second chances. I had so much more to give, so much more to do. Listen, even when you have given up on your dreams, God has not given up on you. Your purpose is much too great for you not to keep going.
Love you,
Shaun
Last year on this date, I shared two posts—one was about purpose, which I basically reshared this morning, and other was the reblog below. The reblog was based on a message written on a butterfly display —“Your life is unfolding according to The Divine plan.”
And life is doing just that, unfolding according to God’s plan. Although we have some control over how it unfolds, it’s probably not as much as we would like, and that’s a good thing. Keeps us humble. What I have learned over this past year is to allow life to do what it’s going to do. Of course I must continue to do my part which is to keep striving towards my goals and dreams. However, I cannot get caught up in the whirlwind of things happening around me, nor allow the tactics of the enemy (because they are real) throw me off course. I must remember at all times, and you should too, life is unfolding according to God’s plan, and He is in control.
Praying you have a lovely day and wonderful weekend.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
