My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Every experience brings strength, wisdom, and blessings.
Today’s song is “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength,” by the late and great songstress, Whitney Houston. The song says—
“I crashed down, and I tumbled, but I did not crumble. I got through all the pain. I didn’t know my own strength.”
Dedicating this song to everyone who’s been through some really dark times, and to those who may be currently experiencing some. You are so much stronger than you know. God’s got you!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
God has spoken. He has already advised you on what needs to be done, next. Now it’s up to you to respond accordingly.♥️
Love you,

I keep hearing, “Speak Life.” Not sure who needs this message but please make sure you’re speaking life over YOUR life and over everything and everyone connected to your life.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Adding Donald Lawrence’s song, “I Speak Life.”

Praying you have a wonderful day and a lovely weekend.♥️

You do not have to start over. Every seed you planted is growing.
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
Good Morning! When was the last time you publicly celebrated your achievements? Is it something you find easy to do? Asking because I have always found it difficult, until recently. Now, I celebrate even the smallest of successes.
I wish I could say that after I shared my post five years ago (see second screenshot below) that I began publicly acknowledging my achievements, but it didn’t. It took me years to finally become comfortable enough to share even a few. As you will read in my post below, I didn’t even tell anyone about my role as the president of our state’s dietetics association (2016-2017). When I tell you it felt like I was leading two separate lives. And to be honest, I guess I was. I didn’t know how to be Shaun and LaShaundrea. I believe I’ve written about this before. It took me years to find a happy medium between the two, which didn’t actually happen until Year50.
Anyhoo, today things are different. I am not hiding anymore and I am celebrating all my achievements. I mean, how can I fully represent God if I continue to downplay the magnitude of His greatness in my life? Y’all, He’s been too good to me. As I have said many times before, I am beyond blessed.🥰 ~Shaun
Facebook Memories: September 3, 2019
I just love TikTok’s #OnThisDay reminders. They’re just like Facebook memories and old journal entries, a reminder of how far I’ve come.
Here’s what I shared three years ago on TikTok (August 25, 2021).
Ha… I finally know—from my heart to my soul (without any doubt)—that I AM ENOUGH. What a wonderful space to finally be in. Y’all, I speak about loving this space I’m in all of the time because I know where I was. When I tell you this side of 50 is so different from the other. I wanted it to be different, but I’m not sure if I actually believed it was possible. But God! As I wrote in my previous post, change was what I desired, so I changed.
Y’all, God is truly amazing. I’m forever in awe of Him.
Please enjoy the rest of your day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
I am so much stronger and better equipped because I listened and obeyed. –Shaun
Hey y’all! So, I had written several paragraphs—several long paragraphs—and when I finished, I heard not to share any of it. And I obeyed.
Obedience.
Growth.
I’m listening God.
Praying you have another beautiful day.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
It’s Shaun’s World
