My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
I know you probably wouldn’t believe this, but John P. Kee’s “I Do Worship” is stuck in my head again. Didn’t even realize it until I sat still.
For God’s goodness and His glory. For the joy inside my story. For the peace He gave to me. For the day He set me free. I do worship Him.
Y’all, God is so good. I am beyond blessed.♥️

Guess what?! You know that thing you thought would take you out; that thing you didn’t think you would ever bounce back from. Yeah… THAT thing. Well… Look at you! You’re still here and STILL standing!!
Yessss…. YOU’RE STILL STANDING!!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
Smiling because three of my all time faves—my top ten of people to meet—were in today’s Facebook memories. Gotta love it!
I’ll start with numbers 1 and 2, chefs Leah Chase and Marcus Samuelsson.
During the summer of 2014, I made a Top Ten list of people I just had to meet in this lifetime, my faves. Well, on October 24, 2014, I met numbers one and two. Y’all, I was on cloud nine!!! The crazy part is, I could’ve met Marcus Samuelsson earlier that week. He was a guest at our national dietetics conference and had stayed at the same hotel as me (had no clue!). The morning I left, I remember looking up just in time to see this guy run across the parking lot and hop into a black SUV. All I saw were his socks and I knew. I just knew it was him. A few hours later, I received a text from one of my friends telling me ‘that chef’ I liked was doing a food demo. It was him!!! Had I known he was going to be there, I would’ve stayed for that day of the conference. But it was okay because I got to meet him, along with my other fave, Leah Chase, the end of that week. See my past posts for more details—probably posts around this date. Very interesting story.
Now, my other fave! Y’all already know him—Mr. Tyler Perry! Lol. He was also on that list of people to meet. He rounded off the top five—Chef Rick Bayless was number three and Michelle Obama, number four. Well, my number five, my all time fav, also showed up on my timeline this morning, and it’s so timely, almost like it was made for this moment. Here’s the post.
What makes this post even more special than it showing up on my timeline today is that one of the shows under that Netflix deal, premieres today!!!! Y’all, “Beauty in Black” is streaming today! Yayyyy!!! It’s his first series produced exclusively for Netflix. Can’t wait to check it out!!
Well, that’s it for now. I pray you have the best day ever.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
I guess my spirit feels like worshipping right now, so I’m going to let it do so. The song that’s been playing over and over in my mind for the past 30 minutes or so (that’s how I know there’s worshipping happening) is “Change Me” by Tamela Mann.
The song says—
Change me, oh God
Make me more like you
Change me, oh God
Wash me through and through
Create in me a clean heart
So that I may worship you
Y’all, God is working, from my spirit outwards. I feel it and I’m not ashamed to share it.
Forever grateful.
Forever blessed.
God is so good!
Amen
I’m sharing the video below in case you feel like worshiping too.☺️♥️
Love you,
Shaun

Good Morning!☀️
If I could choose one word to express how I feel at this moment, aside from feeling blessed, it would be “Thankful.”
I am thankful for life.♥️ ~Shaun
Thankful, grateful, and blessed.♥️ ~Shaun
When I shared this message on TikTok, I added the song, “Grateful,” by Hezekiah Walker.
Flowing from my heart is gratefulness.
Happy Sunday! I hope your weekend has been pleasant thus far.🌸
Yesterday, my daughter came home for a very short visit—she’s going back home this afternoon. Even though this visit has been short, we have definitely made the most of it. We have had a few of our deep conversations about politics, the Olympics, and life in general. Had oysters and crab claws from one of our favorite restaurants. And we ended our night watching Adam Sandler and his pals in Mr. Deeds. Great company, good food, and much needed laughs.
Later this morning, I’m going to church with her and her fiancé. Her fiancé’s family’s church is having their Friends and Family Day service and brunch. So I’ll get a few extra hours in with her before she leaves.
Y’all, God is good. So grateful for the love he brings me and gives. You already know, I am so very blessed.
I pray you have a lovely Sunday!♥️
Be Blessed,
Shaun
Y’all, I am still here. Still standing!! When I tell you God is so wonderful. I can hear Marvin Sapp singing–
Here I am, I’m still standing
Here I am, after all I’ve been through
I’ve survived every toil, every snare
I’m alive, I’m alive
Here I am
“Here I Am” by Marvin Sapp
If you’re reading this, YOU are still here and still standing, too. Whatever was meant to destroy you, couldn’t. You’re STILL here!! Love you!♥️ ~Shaun
While I was writing my previous post, “For God’s Glory,” I kept hearing Tasha Cobbs Leonard singing, “For Your Glory.” So, I added her song to my Instagram and YouTube posts. I guess you can say it’s my praise and worship song for today. Everything I do is all for God’s glory, not mine. He’s my reason. Amen.
Wishing you a wonderfully, blessed day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Here’s what I shared last year.
Facebook Memory: June 26, 2024
“Present and At Peace,” is my theme for #Year50. For years I have missed out on some great experiences because I was always anticipating the next. Not anymore! From here on out, I am staying present so I can fully enjoy my blessings.♥️
Until today, I had forgotten “Present and at peace” was my theme for Year50. Now, I look back and smile. Even though I had forgotten, God had not. All year long He made sure I didn’t miss a thing. While I was present, He was providing the peace. Y’all, God’s love is unmatched.
This year’s theme for Year51 is “Beyond Blessed.” I know that I am blessed, and I will not accept anything less than blessed, nor should you. Smile
Praying you have a wonderfully, blessed day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
