2025 Is Already Different
So, this year is already starting differently. I decided to watch something I believed would set the tone for this year. Well, what I wasn’t expecting was the tone I received. Laughing because I thought I was watching something that would empower me, but instead, I was introduced to the kind of husband (yes, I’m getting married again) I desired. Y’all, I’m looking for my Jimmy Carter!
Talk about an “Aha” moment!
Before 2024 ended, I said I was going to focus on my personal life this year. Well, I guess this is the beginning.
When I think about it, Jimmy Carter was the kind of person I’ve been seeking since I knew what love was and could be. I mean, why not? He’s been my inspiration since I was in grade school. My purpose—to make this world a better place through love, hope, peace, kindness, and service—began with him. And his relationship with Rosalynn was what I’d always dreamed of having. So many doubt that kind of relationship and love is possible. However, I have never doubted it. I’ve always believed it to be possible. Because I truly believe in love.
Soooo… it’s been Jimmy all this time. Wow!
Here’s an Instagram trailer for the Hulu and Disney+ special I just watched—“Jimmy Carter: A Full Life.” Enjoy!♥️ ~Shaun
Yep, I’m already setting the tone for this year! No more going with the flow.
Welcome to my world!♥️
My Journey With God, No. 46
Happy New Year, again!🥂
Sitting here trying to reflect on my 2024, but everything seems a blur. I have journal entries and posts marking moments, but everything seems to have happened without a thought. As if I just flowed through it—which is what I asked for, right? I mean, I did say I just wanted to go with the flow. Laughing because God will give you exactly what you ask for. Gotta love life…
Now, don’t get me wrong, I had many memorable moments, but nothing was a real highlight. So, maybe I need to change my ask this year. This year, I don’t want to just go with the flow. This year I want to experience the spectacular! This year, I want to make memories and moves that I will be talking about for ages.
A week or so before the year ended, I said I was taking the limits off myself and God. Well, they’re off, and I’m challenging myself to stretch beyond what’s familiar and comfortable. I started implementing a few changes before 2024 ended. Ready to see where they take me!♥️ ~Shaun
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!🥂
I slept through the countdown. The fireworks just woke me up. Lol
May your new year bring you an abundance of love, peace, joy, and blessings. May your new opportunities and connections be plenty and successful. This year, say “yes” to the opportunities God sends your way, and “no” to things you know aren’t aligned with your purpose. You’ve already learned your lessons. Now, it’s time to make moves, and make them boldly and unapologetically. Remember, you’re God’s child!♥️
Love you!

God’s Got A Blessing
Singing Norman Hutchins’ song “God’s Got A Blessing (With Your Name On It).” The song says—
It makes no difference
What you’re going through
You’re going to make it
God’s going to see you thru
Hold your head up
Put a smile on your face
This is another test
It won’t last always
Get ready for your blessing
Get ready for your miracle
Get ready for your blessing
Get ready for your miracle
Smile and hold your head up! God’s got a blessing with YOUR name on it. That’s right! He sure does. And that blessing is called life, and it has your name all over it.
I know 2024 is coming to an end and you may not have achieved everything you wanted to, but this is not THEE end. Tomorrow’s a new day and a new year, and it’s filled with all kinds of blessings with your name on them. Listen, God’s got you!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 45
While looking through an old notebook that I was using as a journal and as a study guide (not sure why I was using one notebook for both😩), I found a letter I had written but never sent to my sister. Here’s a snippet of what I wrote.
30 January 1993
At the time, I was 19 years old and stationed at Ramstein AB, Germany. Y’all, I was just a baby. However, even back then, I made note of gems that I still live by today:
- True happiness can only be found within. (Thanks, Master Splinter)
- God will place us where we desire to be, but it’s our responsibility to make things happen. (A good one, right?!)
- Life isn’t easy… but it’s so worth living.
As I mentioned in the letter, I was where I had always dreamed of being, but I wasn’t doing anything with the opportunity I had been given. Looking back, I realize no one in my circle had the same or similar goals or dreams. So, instead of venturing out and doing my own thing, I adapted to their world. From what I had written—“I don’t have any goals anymore.”—I believe I had lost hope.
How sad…
But very eye opening.
It’s so important that we surround ourselves with like-minded people or our dreams and aspirations will suffer. Or…we must be strong enough to venture out and do our own thing to keep our dreams alive.
Life is interesting and God is good.
Forever grateful for His wisdom and love.♥️

Hello Sunday
Good Morning!☀️
Can you believe we’ve already reached the end of 2024?! This year flew by, but by the grace of God, we’re still here! Hallelujah, we are still here.🙏🏽
On December 29, 2021, I shared—
“Your next chapter will be AMAZING! Receive it. Speak it – “My next chapter will be AMAZING!” Own it!”
I’m smiling because I spoke it, received it, and now I’m owning it. I’m not sure when I stopped viewing my life as chapters in a book. Maybe it was during or after the COVID pandemic, or maybe it was last year, my Year 50. All I know is I haven’t thought about another chapter or looked forward to something AMAZING in years. I don’t have to because I’m already living in it. My life is already AMAZING—it just keeps getting better!
Y’all, I am absolutely loving this side of 50! Thank You, Lord, for making this side different and better than I ever imagined.
Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with viewing your life in the context of chapters. As you can see, I also did. However, I’ve reached a point where I try to find the AMAZING in everyday moments instead of waiting for it to miraculously show up in the future. Life is just too precious and short to keep waiting for something amazing to happen when it’s already happening now. Just look around and you’ll see it. Then, once you see it, receive it and own it. It’s yours!
That’s all I have for you now. Wishing you an AMAZING, relaxing Sunday.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Fold Clothes for You
Eight years ago, I was listening to J. Cole’s song “Foldin Clothes.” I know, an odd song for a Christmas morning, but perfect for me and two.🥰
Fast-forward to today. Since I woke up hearing Whitney Houston’s song, “Who Would Imagine a King,” we decided to watch the movie The Preacher’s Wife. Now, we’re listening to R&B Christmas music. Who knew Luther Vandross and Babyface had so many Christmas songs? Lol.
We have two more must-see movies for today—“Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey” and “This Christmas.” Oh…And we will try not to break Netflix trying to see Beyonce’s halftime performance during the Ravens and Texans game. Believe me, this will probably be bigger than the Tyson vs Paul fight.🤭
So, what are you doing today? Are you listening to Christmas music or watching Christmas movies?

Prep Time is Up
“I guess my prep time is up,” is what I wrote in my notes on December 24, 2020. I’m smiling because this message will forever be relevant, whether it’s next year or five to ten years from now. When you think about it, we are always preparing for something because God is always moving. He’s not a stagnant God. So, today, this message is for whatever God believes we are prepared to receive.
Smile, your preparation time is up. You’re ready!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
