Question: What Makes You Smile?

Facebook Memory: February 9, 2023

What makes you smile?🌺

Me: Love. Kindness. Compassion. Happiness. Other smiles. Music. Great food. Good company. My babies (now adults☺️). Life.

Truthfully, God makes me smile. The way He loves me makes me smile. Y’all, I am soooo very blessed.♥️

Do You Know What You Desire To Achieve?

Do you know what you truly desire to achieve—in life, your relationships, and/or your career? If so, are you actively pursuing your desire(s). If not, why not? What’s stopping you?

Facebook Memory: February 4, 2022

Me… To be happy! To enjoy this life God has blessed me with. To be a blessing to others. To spread love, hope, and joy in everything I do. I want others to know and feel they are loved. This is what I truly desire.

That’s all I have for now. By the way, this is my 995th consecutive day of posting! Woohoo!! Five more days until 1000!!! Can’t you tell I’m excited?! Listen, I keep myself hyped!! Laughing. Can’t wait to celebrate!!!

Okay…I’m done. Enjoy the rest of your day and I will talk to you tomorrow.

Love you!♥️

Joy

Facebook Memory: January 30, 2023

Joy (Merriam-Webster): a source or cause of delight

Hold closely those things that bring you joy.♥️

What are some things that bring you joy?

Me…

Seeing people smile and laugh, especially my two. Knowing God loves me unconditionally. Seeing and feeling the sunshine. Good food. Great company. Chatting with my sisters and friends—I love our bond. Being loved. Feeling loved.

I will also add…

Knowing that every day is a new beginning—an opportunity to become a better version of myself. Lastly, knowing that my future will be brighter than my past. The best is yet to come.

Wishing you a beautiful day filled with love, laughter, and joy.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Stay Encouraged

Do you have inspirational quotes randomly placed throughout your house? Well, I do. From sticky notes to the screensavers on my phone and laptop, they are everywhere. I intentionally placed them where I can see them so I will not have to look far for a boost of encouragement. Let me tell you, it works!

Was sitting at my desk thinking about how I should have handled something differently. Was really beating myself up over it, and then I looked up and saw these two quotes.

This one made me smile.😊

This one reminded me that this too shall pass.♥️

Now, I am smiling. The thing I was beating myself up over seems like something of the past, even though it was less than an hour ago. One of the reasons I create and share inspirational messages is because I know how easy it is to become discouraged. One word, thought, or conversation can trigger negative emotions. Keeping something positive near is essential.

I pray you are having a great day. Be blessed!♥️

A Friendly Reminder

Last year, I shared the following Facebook memory below under “Self-Love Saturday.”

Question: When was the last time you reminded yourself of how amazing you are? If it has been a while, stop what you are doing and do it now!

Never wait for others to recognize the greatness God has placed inside of you, or tell you that you are amazing. Just know that you are!

Facebook Memory: January 28, 2023

You are absolutely, undeniably AMAZING! Yes… I’m talking to YOU!♥️

Stay humble, now.😊

Are You Doing What You Love?

Think about it. I mean, really think about it. Are you doing what you love? Not only career wise but in life. Or…are you waiting for conditions to be right or better before you decide to do it?

It’s my hope that you are doing what you love and that you absolutely love what you are doing. Sometimes we find ourselves doing what we love but because we are not in the right environment our experiences are not favorable. Been there.

I hope you are doing both. If not, I pray you will be soon. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

Life is too short not be doing both.

You Did It!

I see you and celebrate you! You did it!!

You know that thing

That thing you keep pursuing but just cannot seem to achieve.

That thing that has been nagging you for years, even decades, that your soul can’t seem to let be.

You know, that thing you were so close to achieving then something happened that threw everything off track…

Yeah… that thing.

Well, today, we are celebrating our (gotta include myself) wins in advance.

From here on, see yourself walking in everything you set out to achieve. Feel yourself in it! Yes, you had a few setbacks, but now you are finally there and pursuing other dreams. Pat yourself on the back because you did not give up. Nope. You were resilient. You hung in there and kept going. Now, you are there. YOU DID IT!♥️

Celebrate

Love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?

E. H.

That was a quote I shared five years ago—January 14, 2019. Next is the caption that accompanied it:

Happy Monday! Wishing you a blessed week! Here’s today’s social media find. Take the leap. Yes, there’s a possibility that things won’t go as planned (been there); however, there’s also a possibility that they might AND exceed your expectations (been there, too). You’ll never know, if you never leap. You already know God is going to catch you– FLY!

During my adulthood, I have taken numerous leaps—mostly spontaneously. As I mentioned above, some things went as I hoped and/or exceeded my expectations, while others didn’t. Either way, I never fell or failed. Somehow I always managed to fly. All praises to God.

Lately, I have not taken any leaps (it’s been three years). I guess you could say I have been living a pretty quiet, unadventurous life—been playing it safe. Honestly, I am not sure if I am just tired or if the adventures have ceased. Hopefully, it’s not the latter. There just has to be more adventures and leaps in my future. Y’all, I’m too young to stop leaping now. Sighing

Why am I hearing Donald Lawrence singing, “The Best Is Yet To Come”? Shaking my head. My thoughts and their theme music. Even my subconscious mind has a sense of humor. My life… Laughing

Well, that’s all for now. I pray you have a wonderful day!

Be Blessed♥️

Shaun
