You Are The Gift

Shaun Bradford
Your matter.

Facebook Memory: February 10, 2022

Gifts are nice and ALWAYS appreciated. However, it’s so important to recognize nothing can replace the gift of your presence. Whether physically or virtually, your presence is priceless. You ARE the gift!

Even though we are gifts to others, let’s remember to appreciate our gifts. Those who God placed in our lives to love and support us. They are priceless. Getting emotional as I think about my gifts. We must hold them dearly.

Side note: You will not be everyone’s gift, nor them yours. Learned this a lot over the past few years. I used to consider everyone a gift. They may have been for someone, but they were not for me. Yeah…took me forever to get this through my head. Listen, treasure your true gifts (don’t be fooled by the fake—the ones who pretend to love on you while intentionally draining you) and let the others go.

This is all for now. Didn’t mean to end on a sour note, but we really have to be careful. As I said before, I am learning. Anyhoo… Wishing you a lovely day and beautiful weekend! One of my gifts (my daughter) is coming home to visit! Can’t wait to love on her!!♥️

Be Blessed♥️

Worthy of All Good Things

Shaun Bradford

Repeat after me:

“I am worthy of ALL good things.”

Repeat as many times as needed, especially when doubt and negativity attempt to creep in and convince you otherwise. YOU, my friend, are worthy of ALL good things. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

Today’s theme song is “Good Energy” by Yung Wylin.

Gratitude: What Are You Most Grateful For?

Shaun Bradford
Originally shared on February 7, 2022

I am most grateful to be alive. Grateful that I have another chance to love on my babies; another chance to experience something exciting and new (why am I hearing the Love Boat theme song—smile); another chance to accept or decline opportunities; another chance to make better decisions; another chance to live…to really live.

Of course I am grateful for so much more…including YOU! Thank you for taking the time to drop in and read my posts. I truly appreciate you.♥️

Now, it’s your turn. What are you most grateful for?

Do You Know What You Desire To Achieve?

Shaun Bradford

Do you know what you truly desire to achieve—in life, your relationships, and/or your career? If so, are you actively pursuing your desire(s). If not, why not? What’s stopping you?

Facebook Memory: February 4, 2022

Me… To be happy! To enjoy this life God has blessed me with. To be a blessing to others. To spread love, hope, and joy in everything I do. I want others to know and feel they are loved. This is what I truly desire.

That’s all I have for now. By the way, this is my 995th consecutive day of posting! Woohoo!! Five more days until 1000!!! Can’t you tell I’m excited?! Listen, I keep myself hyped!! Laughing. Can’t wait to celebrate!!!

Okay…I’m done. Enjoy the rest of your day and I will talk to you tomorrow.

Love you!♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

This morning I am torn between sharing the song that’s currently in my head or, not one, but several Facebook memories. The song has nothing to do with the memories. It’s just what I woke up hearing.

Hmm…. Let’s see what I decide.

Well, I went to my journal for inspiration, and my entry from last year basically summed up the Facebook memories I was thinking of sharing. So, I guess I will share a snippet of what I wrote.

Journal Entry: February 4, 2023

Today’s quote was, “Keep Showing Up.” I’m learning more and more that my dreams are not meant to be given up on. Even when I feel like things just aren’t going to happen or everything is pointless, God shows me otherwise. Those goals that I wrote down years ago, as well as the dreams I had as a little girl, they’re all going to come to fruition. What I imagined over 40 years ago, I will have. I just have to keep showing up and allowing God to lead.

I ended the entry with–

Lord, I’m trusting You to do it Your way. Amen

Honestly, I really don’t need to write more. I believe that said it all. The only thing I will add is, no matter what, do not give up on your dreams. Many of mine are over 40 years in the making and I still have not given up so you don’t either. Love you!♥️

Shaun

P.S. That song that’s currently stuck in my head is “Exhale” by Whitney Houston. I know, very random, but that’s me. Smile
