My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Last year, I shared the following in my post, “Embracing All Good Things”—
“Today, I am embracing all good things. Embracing every single blessing God sends my way. I am so thankful for His love. I can’t say it enough, I am truly blessed.”
And nothing’s changed. I am seizing and embracing every last good thing God has for me. Taking nothing for granted. Nothing! I am so blessed.
I pray you are doing the same.♥️
Love you much,
Shaun
That’s the message!
God has the final say.
Hang in there.
He’s got you!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
Three years ago, I wrote that the complexities and experiences of life and love made us stronger and braver and were worth experiencing.
Question—
Have the complexities and experiences of life and love, particularly love, made you stronger and braver?
My answer…
“Yes” on the strength part. The complexities and experiences of life and love have made me stronger. However, “No” on the bravery part. Well, only in the case of love. My experiences with love and its shenanigans have always made me retreat. I have yet to become brave in this area; however, I am working on it. One day I’ll be a love warrior-Queen! Smile
Anyhoo… On a softer, less complex note.
Last year, I celebrated the tenth anniversary of my dreams being revived. I wrote about how an invitation to a culinary experience had changed my life ten years earlier (May 2014). I said it had awakened childhood dreams I had buried in my early 20s. Well, at 51, those dreams are still alive, and this time, despite the “complexities” of life—because life is going to keep lifeing—I plan to keep them alive. Just call me the warrior-Queen and protector of my dreams!
That’s all I have for you now. I do want to know your thoughts on the question above. Are you stronger and/or braver because of your experiences?
I pray you have a fabulous day. You deserve it!♥️
I love you much,
Shaun

If you haven’t seen it yet, keep climbing! It’s coming.♥️

Last year I wrote—
“Heal so you can grow. If you do not heal, you will never grow to reach your fullest potential.”
Now, you’ll grow, and grow well in certain areas of your life, but you’ll never reach your fullest, God–ordained potential. At least, that’s what God told me, and I passed the message along to you. Smile.
When I turned 50, I asked God to allow me to live out my next 50+ years differently than my previous, and one of His answers was that I needed to heal. As much as I wanted to reset my life, I still had baggage I never fully unpacked or addressed—shame, guilt, disappointments, heartbreaks, and other hurts. I had to address them first so I could begin healing.
At first, I felt like my world had been turned upside down. Nothing was the same. My mom had just passed the month before. Then, God kept revealing the areas where I needed to make changes. I called it my pruning season because baby, I was being PRUNED! I was being pruned in all the places I needed healing. So, it was necessary.
Now, here I am, almost two years on this side of 50, and I can honestly say my life has changed—for the best. Not only do I feel it, but I’m beginning to see it, too. Although it’s all new, and I’m still working through some things—healing is a journey—I love my new life over 50. I’m determined more than ever to reach my fullest potential before I leave this earth. I want to see every God–given dream from childhood until now manifested. My recent experiences with so many second chances only prove that I’m not too old or too late for them to come true.
God is so very good. I’m blessed.♥️

Good Morning☀️
Even though it may be tempting, now is not the time to settle for anything less than God’s best.
Can’t you hear Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers singing “The Best Is Yet To Come”? Well, I surely can. Smile. The song says—
God’s gonna really blow your mind
He’s gonna make it worth your time
For all of the trouble you’ve been through
The blessings doubled just for you
Guess what?
The best
Is yet to come …
You ain’t seen nothin’
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet
Listen, you ain’t seen nothing yet! Hang in there. The best—God’s best for YOU—is worth the wait.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
**On another note, this was too cute not to share. It’s an excerpt from my journal entry written on May 2, 2015—
“I took one of those FB quizzes about “what is your gift?” I got music. It said that you can channel a song for any occasion. Lord knows that’s true! Every morning and all through the day, a song is playing in my head. I actually mean- ALL day long!”
Well… it’s true. My life.☺️
It’s Shaun’s World
