The Gift

Good Morning☀️

As I said three years ago, “You are the gift.” The most valuable gift you could possibly give is yourself. Your presence and essence are irreplaceable. It’s YOU that’s wanted and needed. Yes, it’s YOU.

YOU are the gift!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Remember your worth—you are priceless.😘

Hello Sunday

Happy Sunday!

Love this quote I found from nine years ago—

“Hope is the little voice you hear whisper ‘maybe’ when it seems the entire world is shouting ‘no!’”

I hear the world. But I also hear a beautiful harmony. Not from heaven, but from earth. It’s my maybe.

Hope.

Never lose hope.

If God’s shown you something is possible…

Then, it’s possible (God doesn’t lie).

So, keep hope alive.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Worthy Of ALL Good Things

Good Morning☀️

In case you forgot, YOU are worthy of all—not some, but all—good things. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking certain good things are only reserved for certain people. However, that’s not true. As I mentioned yesterday in “Song of the Hour,” God deems us worthy even when we don’t believe we are worthy. Plus, we are His children—meaning we are worthy of all good things.

Listen, never sell yourself short. If you’re doing it, STOP! Please, know that YOU, yes…YOU are worthy of ALL good things!♥️

Love you much,

Shaun

Gratitude

Originally shared on February 7, 2022, then again last year on February 7, 2024.

Last year I wrote:

“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.”

Today, everything’s the same. EXACTLY the same!

However, I do want to take this moment to honor God for His amazing, unconditional love. When I tell you He’s been closer than ever! Correction… I guess I’m finally closer to Him.☺️ Y’all, He’s soooo good. So very good.🙏🏽

Also, I’m grateful for YOU and your continued support. Thank you so much for reading and always leaving encouraging words. They mean more to me than you know. I truly appreciate you!🙏🏽💕

Before I end…

What are you grateful for?♥️

My Journey With God, No. 58

God, who am I?

Like… for real?

Who am I?!

His answer…

Which is the answer I always seem to receive.

“YOU are MY child.”


God’s child.

I am God’s child.

I AM God’s child.

Accepting the fact that nothing about me or my life will ever be ordinary.

Because…

I am God’s child.♥️ ~Shaun

Listen To God

Good Morning☀️

Listen to God.

Don’t just hear Him.

Meaning—

Pay attention to God’s words, make note of His instructions, and follow His guidance.


Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

I pray you have a wonderful day and blessed weekend.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Good Night (40)

Love you,

Create

Create!

Create whatever your heart desires.

Creating what you’ve envisioned may take years, but don’t let time and setbacks discourage you.

Never, ever stop creating.♥️

Love you,

Focus On What You Have

A few days ago, God had to remind me once again to stay focused on what I already have, not what I don’t have or believe I need. If you have been following me for a few years, you’ll know I am forever doing something new. This week, God reminded me of all the “new” things I had created and needed to revisit. One was my culinary nutrition project/venture. The last time I had been actively creating in that space was in 2023.

While downloading videos from TikTok, I came across videos I had shared on August 24, 2022 (this date is significant) about my frustration with trying to create a YouTube video. One was the before, and the other was the after. This led me to revisit that particular video. After I made it, I decided to unlist it after only a few days of it being public. For some reason, I hated that video. Well, after rewatching it the other day, I made it public again. Then, I shared it on my Facebook pages.

Y’all, it wasn’t until I shared it on another page this morning that I realized I created it on August 24, 2022. On the morning of August 27, 2022, my brother found my mom unconscious. She didn’t wake until almost a week later, with most of her hearing gone and no use of her right (dominant) arm. For those who don’t know, she suffered from paraplegia (at that time, 24 years). So, I had made plans to officially launch Nutrition with LaShaundreaB, and then had to pause everything to care for her—which I will never regret. Whew! So many memories of that time…

Anyway, I’m finally working on Nutrition with LaShaundreaB again. I’m focusing on what I already have. Here is the link to my once-hidden video. When I tell you the things I was so self-conscious about back then don’t bother me anymore. Baby, this is me! And I truly love ME!🥰 ~Shaun

I Am LaShaundreaB
