My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
In February 2016, I was in Washington, D.C., visiting Mississippi’s U.S. senators and representatives, and literally bumped into the late and great Honorable John Lewis as he was coming out of his office. It was one of those surprise meetings I will always cherish. We could use some “good trouble” right now.♥️ ~Shaun
Good Morning☀️
The last few months have been an emotional roller coaster ride for me. However, these last two weeks have really done a number on me! Just being honest and transparent. Imagine spending your entire life picturing a future world where kindness, peace, love, inclusion, equity, and goodwill towards all humanity was the norm to… whatever this is. Y’all, I don’t even know what to call it. It’s like going from envisioning somewhat of a utopian world—if you know me, then you know I wanted the world singing in “perfect harmony” (smile)—to seeing a dystopian society being created right before my eyes.
This isn’t a movie. It’s real. So very real. Those hurting aren’t fictional characters. They are real people. Real people (not only “DEI” hires) are losing or in fear of losing their jobs. Real people—not only criminals but children and mothers—are being detained and deported without an ounce of empathy. Marginalized people who have spent their lives overcoming discrimination are being treated like they’re “second–class citizens.” Whew! Talk about triggering!! Then, to make matters even worse, access to vital information is being denied and/or erased. Again, this isn’t a movie, “fake news,” or “woke news.” This is actually happening!
I digress… (long sigh)
I know for my own sanity, I must let go of things I cannot change… at the moment. I know that I can’t help others if I’m not physically, mentally, or emotionally strong enough and prepared to do so. But y’all, I am so serious right now, my heart is breaking.💔
I found this among inspirational messages I have saved. A much needed word for today.🙏🏽
Thanks for allowing me to share. I know God’s in control. I pray you have a wonderful Sunday.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
**Very random, but the sun is rising, and I would love to hear a rooster crow. I miss my grands and childhood summers.
It’s 3:00 PM!
My mantra for today is—“I am one of one.”♥️ ~Shaun
You are surrounded by God’s favor. Everyone sees it. It’s so radiant that we can’t help but notice.
Do you see it?♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
Woke up with this song playing in my head, and the more I looked for something else to share, the louder the song became. So, I already knew what it meant—I needed to share it. Hopefully, it blesses you.
I pray you have a wonderful Saturday! Remember to show yourself a little extra love today.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
“Miracle” by Whitney Houston
Lyrics: MusixMatch
How could I throw away a miracle?
How could I face another day?
It’s all of my doing, I made a choice
And today, I pay
My heart is full of pain
How could you understand, the way I feel?
How could you relate to so much pain?
Seems as though nothing can comfort me
So today, I pray
That someone should listen, for
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours
There’s a miracle in store
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
A voice of love is crying out
Don’t throw love away
There’s a miracle in store
How could I let go of a miracle?
Nothing could ever take its place
Thought I was looking, out for myself
Now it seems the pain
Is all that I have gained
I wonder if I could be your miracle
I wonder if I could spare you pain
Seems as though nothing will comfort me
Lord, less today, I pray
That you should come listen, for
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours
There’s a miracle in store
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
A voice of love is crying out
Don’t throw love away
There’s a miracle in store
Don’t ever throw away your miracle
Don’t let it slip away
For nothing should matter
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours
There’s a miracle in store
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
A voice of love is crying out
Don’t throw love away
There’s a miracle in store, oh
For you, yeah
You imagine BIG.
Then, you try to imagine BIGGER than that.
However, the real question is, “What does GOD consider BIGGER?”
Hmmm…
Because God’s idea of BIGGER is something I’m pretty sure we’ve never imagined.
Soooo…
What is BIGGER?
I guess only God knows.
And…
That’s when you say, “Blow my mind, God!”
Smile.♥️

I guess we could say the same about how 2025 has begun; however, instead of saying weird, I would say extremely intense. Hopefully, things are coming down a bit. Either way, it’s just good to know God’s got us. He kept us through all of the craziness of last year and will keep us this year. Stay in prayer, and by all means, stay covered. Don’t you dare step out without God!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
Since it’s Friday and January 31, I thought I’d share my Facebook memory from Friday, January 31, 2020.
That was five years ago. Boy, does time fly! Since then, I have taken more chances than I can name. At that time, my brother, who was my same age, had just died. A few months before he died, he had finally quit a job he had hated for years and ventured out on his own. Y’all, after he died, there was no way I was going to keep missing opportunities. I was serious about living without regrets. Now, I’m not saying all of the chances I took were successful because they surely weren’t; however, at least I tried.
Listen, take chances. Even if people look at you sideways or think you’re the craziest person in the world, take them. Maybe you’ll be successful at some, maybe not. At least you won’t live with the regret of not trying.
Well, this is all I have at the moment. Thank you for reading. I pray you have a wonderful day and blessed weekend.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Yes…YOU! Your presence makes the world shine. Keep being you and doing what only YOU can do.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
Question: What brings you joy?
Me: Seeing my two hearts (my daughter and son) smile, laugh, and enjoy life.🥰🥰
Also, knowing that you are alive and well brings me joy.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
