Overall, I believe life is beautiful. It has its rough moments, but when I think about it, they have never outweighed the good ones. I have had so many more good times than bad.

How we view life is merely a reflection of what’s in our hearts and souls.♥️
Y’all, yesterday was my first day in years of feeling like I was in my zone. Like I was where I was meant to be, doing what I do best—spreading love and hope. Never knew how much I missed people, especially the students and my colleagues. I also had the opportunity to connect with a few new people. Can’t wait to collaborate with them on upcoming projects. Y’all, I am so excited about where things are headed!
Side Note: Never allow others or bad moments in life to dim your light. Whenever you feel it going out, change your environment with haste. Do not stick around waiting for things or people to change. The longer you wait, the dimmer your light becomes. Keep it glowing!
Well, this is it for now. Praying you have a wonderful day!♥️
Let me guess. You are waiting for the perfect moment to get started. Waiting until you have everything you need, or believe you need, before making your bigmove. I know. I know because I have been there, and in certain circumstances I am still there. Yes… I am still a work in progress.
Well, from what I have learned from past experiences, there will never be the perfect time to get started or make your next move(s). You just have to do it. You have to do it without seeing the entire picture. You have to do it without knowing the outcome. You have to do it because if you don’t, your life will never change.
Just take the first step and allow God to guide you through the rest. I promise you, you will not fail. Now, I am not saying everything will be smooth and easy. However, I do know God won’t let you fail. He won’t. Trust Him and move.♥️ ~Shaun
You are already equipped with everything you need. You don’t need anything else.
One of my favorite YouTubers (if that’s even a word), Shameless Maya, is BACK! Okay… She hasn’t been gone for years, but she’s been absent for months. I believe her channel was the first one I subscribed to. I was so drawn to her personality and free spirit. When she talked about feeling awkward and different, I felt it. I felt seen. I admired, and still admire, her love for life and the way she handles experiences.
Listen, y’all just don’t know how happy I was to see her pop up on my screen. I am so glad she’s doing well. Smiling.
Y’all, I truly believe if I had to do my adult years over, my life would have been somewhat similar when it comes to the carefree, adventurous part. I probably would have joined the Peace Corps like I wanted to, or gone backpacking across Europe. Today, I would probably be married to someone from another country or continent and living life abroad. At least that’s what I imagine I would be doing because that was where I was headed. BUT… God had other plans; and I know He still has more in store because this ain’t it. Laughing
Really… I needed to see her video today after the experience I had yesterday. If I told you, you probably wouldn’t understand. But it let me know this is not where I belong or where I am meant to stay.
Side Note: Be mindful of what you speak. In the 90s, when I was stationed in Florida, I would drive through Hattiesburg on my way to see family in Northern Mississippi. Every time I got to a certain area I would say, “One day I am going to retire here.” Didn’t know anything about manifestation back then. Well, even though I was referring to when I was in my late sixties or seventies, I actually retired here. Been retired for years now. Too funny. Yeah… be mindful of what comes out of your mouth because you just might get it. Hmmm… I wonder why that doesn’t happen with money. 😂
Anyhoo… Welcome back, Maya!
This was the breath of fresh air that I did not know I needed.

P.S. My next post is scheduled to be shared at 10:30 AM (trying to stay consistent). I wrote and scheduled it last night. However, after watching Maya’s video, I am tempted to pull it, but I won’t. I am going to leave it as scheduled. I am pretty sure a year from now I will look back and say, “They tried! But God had other plans!!” Amen
Words are powerful. They can either build or destroy. How are you using your words? Are you speaking life or death?
Same question today—how are you using your words? Are you speaking life or death? Are you building or destroying?
Be mindful of what you speak, especially when it comes to speaking about others. Be the person who builds relationships not destroy them. Be the one who speaks life, love, peace, and prosperity over others. I believe whatever we speak, whether over ourselves or others, we receive. Again, be mindful of what you speak. Words are very powerful.
I needed this reminder today because that is exactly what I have been doing lately—overthinking. Last night I told my daughter that I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t turn my mind off. Seems like I have been trying to solve everyone’s problems lately, and none are directly mine. Yesterday, I could feel my body changing. I had become so stressed and tense. Had to force myself to do something other than work or think. Decided to put down my phone and watch “Annie,” the Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhané Wallis one. I needed that bit of relief. I’m promising myself to do better today.♥️ ~Shaun

Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. I’m always thinking… often overthinking. Always trying to figure things out or solve a problem. Life is a mystery. We cannot predict what will happen next. We can only assume what will happen. Very few things in my life, have happened as expected. Honestly, I don’t believe anything has ever gone exactly as planned or imagined. So, today, I plan to stop overthinking and just let go. Totally trusting God.
Praying and trusting God to do His job because it’s not on me to do. I must remember my place. God’s got everyone I am concerned about. Trusting Him.🙏🏽
I spent decades yearning for someone to love me for me. To love all of me unconditionally. To love me not only when I was at my best, but when I was at my worst—insecure, unmotivated, feeling ugly, and unsure of myself. To love me when I did not make the best decisions. To love me through both good and bad times. Just to love me.
Well, I have finally realized and accepted I am that person I spent years searching for. I had to learn to love myself not only when I was up, but also when I was down. Had to learn to stop criticizing and beating myself up over mistakes and bad decisions. Yeah, I had to love and accept all of me.
I am so very thankful I finally—took forever—found me.♥️ ~ Shaun

You deserve unconditional love, and there is no better person to give it to you than yourself.♥️
Could not decide between the two memories so I am sharing both.

Hello March!🌷 New Month New Blessings Wishing you a month of peace, love, happiness and blessings.♥️

New Day. New Month. Never lower your expectations. Always expect something wonderful to happen!🌸
Never stop expecting great things to happen even when you can’t see or feel anything happening. There was a time when I had stopped expecting anything at all. I had lost all hope. So grateful that time was short lived.
Today, I am expecting great things happen because I know God loves me. I can never lose hope again. Not on this side of 50. I have witnessed too many great things happen in my life and for others to believe I have already received and/or experienced all life has to offer. I know there is so much more to come.
Hello March! I am expecting great things to happen.♥️
Last year I shared, “Love and give freely.” When you love and give from your heart—without zero expectations in return—life becomes more beautiful.♥️ ~Shaun
