My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Happy August! Can you believe we are getting closer and closer to the end of the year? Time…
I recently read a quote that said, “Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters.” And it does.
Time is showing me that I need to prioritize my health. I need to spend more quality time with family. I need to focus on things that make me feel fulfilled and less on trivial matters. This is what time is showing me.
What is time showing you?
I pray you have a fabulous August!
Be Blessed

Yesss, it is Wednesday already! Only two more days until the weekend! Nothing big planned. I just love my weekends.
Well, I’m not going to take up too much of your time. Today’s blog is to encourage you to stay the course. You may not be where you imagined you would be at this time in life; however, you are still here and definitely on track. Do not allow minor setbacks to stop you from moving forward or believing in your full potential. If God gave you the dream, vision, and purpose, it is already yours. I would typically say, “Claim it!” However, recently – like last night – God advised me that it was time to move beyond “claiming it” to “receiving it.” So, receive what God has for you. Receive it and OWN IT! Got the “OWN IT!” part from Bishop T. D. Jakes (smile).
That’s it for today. Please enjoy your Wednesday!

Just woke up from a disturbing dream. I was working at my old job and dealing with some of the same people and issues that eventually led to my resignation. While laying here thinking, l began hearing the song, How I Got Over. The song says:
How I got over
How I got over
My soul looks back and wonder how I got over
Whew! Y’all, God is good. I am so grateful that stage of my journey is over. As I think about the last thirty years of adulthood, I can’t help but smile. I made it through some difficult times. And y’all, I’m still here! Again, God is so good!
My soul looks back and wonder how I got over.
Thanks for reading. Wishing you a fabulous week!

Not sure what I’ll write about today. I have a lot I could write about but no real inspiration to write. I’m on my 67th day of continuous blogging and refuse to stop until I reach 100 days. So what’s been going on in Shaun’s world?
I am still enjoying my freedom. Sometimes I wonder if I’m delusional because I do not regret leaving my career behind. I mean, I feel no remorse whatsoever. None. Is this normal?
Last Thursday I met up with my sisters and their families in Georgia. Decided to meet there because it was midway between our homes. Each of us only had to travel 5.5 – 6.5 hours instead of the usual 12. We leased an AirBnB for four days and had a wonderful time. Can’t wait to do it again!
Also while there, I visited Tyler Perry Studios. Couldn’t be in the area and not visit the place where so many dreams have come to fruition. As I said yesterday, I love watching God work and Tyler’s life and success are great examples of God’s awesomeness. God gave Tyler an exceptional gift and he seems to be using it extremely well. From the highway signs to the grand entrance of the studios, all I could do was smile. Y’all, God did that! I’m so grateful He gave me the opportunity to witness his greatness in person. It’s one thing to see pictures and videos and another to actually stand in the midst of greatness. Very humbling. Praying Tyler experiences continued blessings and success. I cannot wait to see what God has planned through him next. I know it’s going to be even more amazing!
Okay, enough gushing over Tyler’s success. I often wonder where God’s taking me. Will my life impact others? How many people will I reach? And I want to reach them while I’m alive not in death. Honestly, my desire is to reach everyone. Yes.. every single soul on this planet! Even if it’s only for a split second. Whether it is directly or indirectly, I want others, especially the little ones, to know they are loved and accepted just as they are. I am not sure how it will happen but I know it will happen. Yes, I’m saying will happen because with God ALL things are possible. I have always imagined it happening through the United Nations, but we all know God is unpredictable and unconventional. I cannot wait to see how he makes this happen. He knows I love watching Him work and I love a great story. So this should be exciting! Right?…
Here’s my prayer. I pray that I recognize and accept the opportunities He sends my way. I pray fear does not stop me from moving forward. I pray God gives me the strength– mentally, spiritually and physically– to endure this task. I know God’s got me, but do I have myself?
I believe this is enough rambling for today. If you actually read past the first paragraph, I appreciate you. I pray you have a wonderful Wednesday.
Take Care,
Shaun
