How often have you become so distracted by the hows and whens that you lose sight of the promise? Even though you can’t clearly see the outcome, keep believing. Eventually, the promise will come to fruition.♥️ ~ Shaun

Life is moving right along and I’m moving right along with it. I’m happy. I’m blessed. I’m grateful. I’m humbled. I’m content. I’m at peace. And I’m loved.
As I’ve said before, I’m truly loving this space I’m in. According to my journals, it’s taken me decades to get here, but I’m finally here. And it’s such a wonderful feeling! I don’t ever want to go back to where I was or the way things were.
As the song says, “This joy that I have, the world didn’t give it to me… This peace that I have, the world didn’t give it to me. The world didn’t give it and the world can’t take it away.” Amen
Thank You, Lord, for guiding me through the tough times. For giving me hope when I was hopeless. And for granting me peace like no other. Amen
Thanks for reading! I pray that you’ve also found peace, contentment, love and joy. Be Blessed

Timing is Everything

Process
Process is necessary for progress. It’s necessary for change. It’s necessary for success. There are learning experiences attached to each step. If you skip a step, you will continually repeat the process until you get it right. There’s no way around it. ~ Shaun

Where is your passion taking you? ~Shaun
You Are One of A Kind

Hello Sunday
Happy Resurrection Sunday! Knowing that Jesus rose on the third day gives me hope. Hope that no matter how dark and dismal life becomes, or how long the pain lasts, there’s joy on the other side. Yes, joy is on the other side. Never give up hope.
I’ll leave you with a few words from the song, Rise Again –
“Because I’ll rise again, ain’t no power on earth can hold me down. Yes, I’ll rise again. Death can’t keep me in the ground.”
Powerful, right!
Be Blessed

April’s Random Ramblings
Today is my 335th day of daily posting. Back in 2020, right after the world shut down, I decided to create a gratitude journal. My goal was to journal daily for one month. Well, not even two weeks in, I had missed several days of journaling. Honestly, I just wasn’t dedicated to writing daily. It was one of those things someone suggested and I thought it would be fun. I just knew because I loved blogging, and had been journaling for years, it would come easy. Well, it didn’t. Actually, it was a struggle. I had taken on the task but my heart wasn’t in it.
Y’all, one thing I’ve learned over the years about taking on tasks and setting goals is my heart has to be in it. I don’t know about you, but when my heart isn’t in it, tasks and goals are rarely accomplished/achieved. With that said, if it’s something I really want.. you know, just can’t shake.. I don’t give up. I take breaks and try again.
Fun Fact – Thirty years ago, April 1992, I entered the Delayed Entry Program for the Air Force.
Next month my son will be graduating from high school and I feel like my life is starting over. As if I’ve been given a second chance – a fresh start. The dreams and goals I had back then haven’t really changed. They’ve just been on hold for 30 years. Talk about mind blowing to say 30 years. I’m not going to lie, I’m nervous; however, I’m also super excited! Y’all, why am I hearing “A Whole New World” from Aladdin playing in my head. Shaking my head.. My life.
Thanks for reading my ramblings. Enjoy your weekend!

Wednesday Writings
My nephew shared a quote this morning and the words ring true.
“Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don’t want to believe that. But if you’re over age twenty-one your life is what you’re making it. To change your life, you need to change your priorities.” – John C. Maxwell
He also added that due to social determinants it may be difficult to change your life. However, I’ll add, it is not impossible. Sometimes this means making sacrifices (changing priorities) so that you can live a better life – mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well as financially.
I’ll end with this question–
Are you presently making changes to create a better life for yourself (see meaning above), or are you content with where you are?
Me – I’m making changes.
Thanks for reading and please your day!
