My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Push yourself beyond your limits. Each day push a little more. Even if it’s only an inch at a time, keep pushing. Push until you achieve your dreams and goals, then push even more. There are blessings waiting for you!
As the saying goes:
Pray
Until
Something
Happens
Then continue praying.♥️
Love you,

Good Morning! For the past few years, I’ve been sharing the same message on September 16th—Take the leap!
This past weekend we celebrated one of my sister-friends’ big leap. It was a leap she had been toying with for years, and Friday she did it! We’re so proud of her. It’s her time to shine!
Here’s what I shared last year.
Facebook Memory: September 16, 2023
“How badly do you want it?! Listen, take that leap and go after it! Remember, you only have ONE life.”
Listen, taking major leaps takes courage. Not only do you have to deal with fear, but you have to be mentally prepared. From my experience, the decision to leap usually happens when what you want—the “how badly do you want it?”—outweighs your fear. It’s in that moment that you ask yourself “What do I have to lose?”, and you leap. I’m not going to lie, it’s an amazing feeling, almost euphoric. As I told my friend, bask in that feeling. Give yourself time to soak it all in. Then, give yourself grace and time to adjust. Because, believe me, when reality sets in, it sets in! That’s when you exhale and allow life to flow.
Thinking back to all the major leaps I’ve taken in life, I have yet to regret one. Every last one was necessary. I wouldn’t be where I am or who I am today had I not leaped. Y’all, God is so good.
That’s it for now. I pray you have a wonderful day and week. May they be filled with love, peace, joy and blessings.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Happy Sunday! I pray your weekend has been great and today is just as wonderful.
So, here’s today’s Facebook memory. I screenshot it to capture the hashtags. The one that stood out most was “It’s Soul Deep.”
“Genuine happiness is when your soul is at peace—it’s soul deep.” I felt that.
As you can see, I was heavy with the hashtags. Smile. Which one resonated with you?
Well, that’s all for now. Again, have a wonderful day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Light and love shines through you. We see them in your smile, in your laugh, and in the way that you love and give. Your kindness and compassion are unmatched. You have a big heart and beautiful soul. Never let anyone or anything dim your light. The world needs it. The world needs YOU!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!
That was my prayer nine years ago. Today, it’s pretty much the same—for God to use me as He sees fit. Now, I’m not going to lie, it’s not always easy to do. I do struggle. However, I do know His promises and my purpose are great, and there’s so much more for me to do and achieve during this lifetime. I will not allow fear, doubt, or the complexities of life stop me from having or achieving everything God has for me. As I said then, I know I can do ALL things when He’s involved.
I pray you have a beautiful weekend.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!
Last year I shared the following on Facebook:
“It’s YOUR story.
Keep writing!♥️”
Well, the same message applies today. Keep writing because your story is far from over. As long as you have breath in your body, there’s more to be written.
So, keep writing!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
People are only privy to what you’re willing to share. They don’t know the half of what you’ve gone through to become who you are today. They don’t know the mental, emotional, and spiritual hells you’ve endured. Nah… only you and God know. You’ve conquered every battle and have the scars to prove it. What was meant to destroy you couldn’t take you out because you are covered by God. That’s right. You’re covered! And you are still here, and against all odds, you’re still standing. Friend, you are more than a conqueror!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!
God’s plan is unpredictable. Unpredictable, but great. Trust Him with its flow.♥️ ~Shaun
Good Morning! Today’s Facebook memory will definitely make you stop and think.
“Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.” –Author Unknown
What do you want most?
That’s a question I asked myself six years ago, and one I continue to ask myself today whenever I’m faced with tough choices. What do I want most?
I’m a foodie. So, for me, it’s like having to choose between my favorite appetizer now—and I’m starving, haven’t eaten all day—and my favorite meal (cooked to perfection), but I have to wait 45 minutes before I can eat it. Mind you, I can only choose one…and I’m starving…and everyone else is eating. Of course, both will break the fast; however, only one will truly satisfy me. So, which do I choose? The quick fix or the one that’ll last?
Question—Are you disciplined enough to wait for what you want most? Better yet, do you even know what you want most? (That question just came to mind.) Because how can you choose if you don’t know? Food for thought.
Anyhoo… those are all questions I’ve asked myself over the years. Today, I know what I want most and I am not settling for less. As I keep saying, this side of 50 is different, and I’m loving it!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning! Are you still holding on to past hurts or disappointments? You say you’ve forgiven everyone who has hurt you, but have you? It’s one thing to say you forgive them with your mouth and another to mean it with your heart. Speaking from experience.
Short story (making it very short)…
For years I had said I’d forgiven my daughter’s father for the lies, abandonment, and heartbreak he caused me. However, in reality, I had only packed the hurt away and covered it with things that looked and felt good—one of them was my marriage. Well, sixteen years after I ended things with my daughter’s father (close to nine years into my marriage), we briefly reconnected. Nothing romantic. He reached out to connect with my daughter. He also apologized for the things he did and put me through while we were together (and afterwards).
Well, after he finished his spill, I told him I forgave him. Y’all, when I tell you I felt like the shackles had been released! I said I forgave him and actually meant it. It wasn’t all talk. Unfortunately and fortunately, that act of forgiveness opened my eyes to decisions and choices I had made while I was hurt. Which meant I had to clean up a few messes, beginning with letting my ex go (details about my decision can be found in past posts).
Listen.
Forgive.
Forgive with your whole heart.
I know it’s easier said than done.
Ask God for help—He’s got you!
True forgiveness sets great things in motion.
Try it!
Well, that’s all for now. Thanks for reading. I pray you have a wonderful day and an amazing week!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
