My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
It is easy to get caught up in our own plans forgetting that God’s in control. Although we may not fully understand His plans, we must remember that His are far better than our own.♥️ ~Shaun

It’s not about our plan, but God’s. Allow God to guide you in the right direction.♥️
How many dreams have you given up on in your lifetime because they just seem unrealistic, unobtainable, or your time has passed? I don’t know about you, but I have given up on many dreams—too many. Mostly because they had not come the way I imagined they would. They always required work that I was either not prepared to do or didn’t want to do. Yes, dreams take work. Smile. Well, this year, Year50, I had to ask myself if I was going to spend this side of 50 giving up on what I wanted most or go get it. My answer, “Baby, I’m getting everything God has for me!” I am not letting any of the dreams I still have die with me, and I suggest that you don’t either. You cannot afford to let them die. God gave you those dreams, which means you can actually have them if you want them. Now, go get them!♥️ ~Shaun

Don’t give up and never stop believing. You’re closer to your dream than you think.
As you can see, I have been creating my own graphics for a while now. Seeing how far I have come makes me smile. I smile because I found something that I really enjoy doing. I smile because I did not stop because my graphics did not look like everyone else’s. For some reason I wanted mine to be just as unique as me. Lastly, I smile because I cannot wait to see what it evolves into. What was once LJB2019 became LJBSmiles, Shaun’s Smile, LaShaundrea, LaShaundreaB, and now Shaun’s Daily Inspiration. I believe Shaun’s Daily Inspiration is the one I am going to stick with.
Here is what I wrote on the day that I created the graphic.
Facebook Memory: April 8, 2019
Good Morning! This morning I decided to create my own social media find.😉 We’re all different. We are like pieces of a puzzle. Our unique gift/talent is needed to complete the puzzle. So don’t sleep on your gift because it’s needed. Always remember, YOU matter. You have a purpose.
My gifts and talents are definitely unique to me and provide something only I can. This is me fitting perfectly in the space God designed just for me.
Wishing you a wonderful week! Don’t let too much stress you out. If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed, take a break and breathe. You deserve a stress free life.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Facebook will create reels for you from past stories shared on a particular date. So, instead of sharing one of my Facebook posts from this date, I am sharing the reel it created. Soul II Soul’s “Keep On Movin’” was the recommended song. I removed the sound from the video for this post; however, if you would like to view the reel as shared, feel free to click the link.

Here’s Soul II Soul’s Keep On Movin’. First time hearing it in years! Used to be one of my favorite songs.
Praying you have a wonderful day and peaceful weekend.♥️
Love you,
Shaun

Smile. God is still working. Whatever He began, He will finish. Hang in there.
It might take years, but God always finishes what He begins. Unlike us, He does not get tired or give up. Even when we have given up, He continues working. So, do not be discouraged by the wait or setbacks. I believe it is His way of making sure we are prepared to properly accept, handle, walk in, and live in the finished product. We have to be ready for it.
Y’all, I am so grateful God is patient and allows us time to process our fears and doubts. That He overlooks the countless times we self-sabotage opportunities because of our feelings of inadequacy. Yes, I am so grateful that He does not allow our egos to win. I don’t know about yours, but I know my ego can be a bit much at times. Grateful He does not give up on us when we have given up on ourselves.
Grateful and blessed.
Remember, whatever God began—even in your childhood—He will finish.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
What’s your overall take on life?
Mine…
Overall, I believe life is beautiful. It has its rough moments, but when I think about it, they have never outweighed the good ones. I have had so many more good times than bad.
Facebook Memory: April 4, 2022
How we view life is merely a reflection of what’s in our hearts and souls.♥️
Y’all, yesterday was my first day in years of feeling like I was in my zone. Like I was where I was meant to be, doing what I do best—spreading love and hope. Never knew how much I missed people, especially the students and my colleagues. I also had the opportunity to connect with a few new people. Can’t wait to collaborate with them on upcoming projects. Y’all, I am so excited about where things are headed!
Side Note: Never allow others or bad moments in life to dim your light. Whenever you feel it going out, change your environment with haste. Do not stick around waiting for things or people to change. The longer you wait, the dimmer your light becomes. Keep it glowing!
Well, this is it for now. Praying you have a wonderful day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Listen, when I tell you this message is right on time! Today, I am accepting God’s favor. I’m blessed. I know I’m blessed. And, I am accepting it.
Shaun’s Daily Inspiration: April 3, 2023
You know you are blessed and you can feel God’s favor all around you, but have you accepted it?♥️
Praying you have a fabulous day! God is good.
Be Blessed♥️

Each season comes with its own assignments, successes and challenges. We may not understand them or their significance; however, we must see them through.
Please remember this, where you are in this present moment is where you are meant to be. It may or may not be where you desire to be, but it’s where you need to be. There are opportunities, lessons, and protection that only this season can provide. Right now your job is to keep showing up. Show up fully and SHINE!
Love you!♥️

Took a moment to check my social media accounts (now scheduled). Hadn’t checked my Facebook memories in a while. I shared so many great memories on this date. The one that I have decided to share refers to a pivotal moment in my life. I can’t say it enough, I am truly blessed. I am so grateful God love me.
Facebook Memory: March 28, 2019
Good Morning! Wanted to share one of things that changed my life. Almost 5 years ago, I discovered Oprah and Deepak’s meditation series. I was leery about meditating because of what I had heard as a child, meditation was “of the devil.” I’m soooo happy I let those past teachings go. Meditation isn’t satanic. Meditation allowed me to clear my mind of the chaos going on around me, and listen, listen to God. After the first series I really did become more grateful. Also, I always believed everyone was connected, but afterwards, I knew we were connected. I finally felt like everything I personally thought and felt about my relationship with God, wasn’t crazy. It all made sense.
I haven’t participated in a series in a while. I still receive invites when a new one begins. Today’s session is about gratitude (mostly all of them are about gratitude). When I began expressing my gratitude, even for the tiniest thing (like finding a parking space), God began to bless me. It’s true, when praises go up, blessings come down. No, I’m not rich financially, but I’m rich spiritually. Spiritual blessings are indescribable. The bond I have with God is like no other. I’m so grateful He loves me. I’m so grateful for His mercy and grace. I’m so grateful He changed me. I love my new life.♥️
Y’all, God is so amazing. And no, I am not crazy, we are all connected. Smile♥️
Be Blessed,
Shaun
Last year I shared the following quote:
Remain faithful and grateful and God will give you the desires of your heart.♥️
Shaun’s Daily Inspiration: March 28, 2023
I still believe this to be true. If we remain faithful to our purpose and calling, as well as practice gratitude, God will give us the desires of our hearts. He will unlock doors that only He can open. Doors that no man can close. Stay faithful to your assignment. Everything will happen in time.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
