This year, I’m dead set on making overthinking a thing of the past. It’s either a go or no go for me. Time is too precious and much too short to continue wasting thinking of a million scenarios of how things could go wrong when I could be making moves towards things going right.
It’s Self-Love Saturday, y’all! What do you have planned? Me… I’m about to be a little extra… just a little.🤭
My daughter surprised me with a birthday sash!! Now why did she do that when she knows she’s easily embarrassed by my shenanigans?😅😂 But I’m going to be good.
Wishing you a wonderful Saturday! Remember to do something extra special for yourself.♥️
Above is the post I made not to long ago. It’s my answer to one of the Daily Prompts. I’ve been awake for a couple of hours. Nothing’s wrong, just preparing for the day/week. I’ve finally learned to work with my internal clock not against it. I’m my most productive during the wee hours of the morning, so why keep fighting it? Smile
I’ve been thinking a lot about a theme for my 53rd birthday year (Year53). I always set one right before or on my birthday. However, I believe I’m not going to set one this year. I’m just going to let Year53 be what it will be.
Anyhoo…
I’m about to rollover and go back to sleep before my real day gets started. But before I do, I just want to thank God for life—for my life. I am truly blessed. Amen
In a world that’s not always a happy place to be, please be intentional about finding happy moments. Whether it’s in a smile, a hug, or beautiful memories—find those moments and hold them dearly.
I briefly logged onto X and saw posts celebrating the Obama Presidential Center. I’m so grateful those posts were the first to greet me. Those posts are what I consider happy moments. If you’re not busy, be sure to tune in tomorrow, June 18th, to watch the official dedication of the presidential center. I’m sure it will be live streaming on different platforms and channels. It’s a moment in history that cannot be missed. I know the spirits of our forefathers will be there with their blessings.
Happy moments…
I pray you have a beautifully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love, joy, and peace.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
**Happy Birthday, Deborah! You know I couldn’t forget you. Wishing you so many blessings. Enjoy your day!🌺🎉💕🙏🏽
“Moments of hope are found in the memories of smiles, the sounds of laughter, and stories of goodness. It’s those memories, and the anticipation of more like moments, that keep humanity alive. They keep hope alive.”
Today, if only for a moment, remember the smiles, the laughter, the good times, feelings of love, happiness, and joy. They’re not only experiences of the past but a glimpse of more like experiences to come. As songstress Maurette Brown Clark says, “It ain’t over until God says it’s over. Keep fighting until the victory is won…God has the final say.”
Listen! When I tell you my past messages give me goosebumps! They’re always so timely.
The first reminder this morning (see Rejoice, Pray, and Give Thanks) had me praising God, but THIS ONE just touched my soul! I assumed I used the same caption when I shared the image on both my personal and Shaun’s Daily Inspiration pages, but I didn’t. I guess it was meant for me to see it and share it twice! Yes, I believe God is strategic like that.
Here’s what I shared on my Shaun’s Daily Inspiration page—
Listen. Never underestimate the power of God, nor the power of prayer and praise. Keep praying. Keep praising. In good times, as well as bad. It’s easy to slack off when things are good, but those are the prayers and praises that keep you strong during the storms. They keep you going!
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)
16. Rejoice always,
17. Pray continually,
18. Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Rejoice, pray, and give thanks. (Repeat)
Today’s the final day of my birthday month. I truly enjoyed my celebrations. Smiling as I think about my time with my babies. Just thinking about our conversations and their smiles makes my heart sing. I love them so much.🥰🥰
I pray you have a wonderful day and fabulous week! May both be filled with love, joy, peace, and unexpected favor (claiming this for myself too☺️).
Today is the last Sunday of my birthday month, and I’ve decided to relax a little more than usual. Not in a rush to do anything. Today, I’m taking it easy and going with the flow.
This morning, I took my time reading through my Facebook memories. Here are a few random memories that made me smile. I’ll start with June 29, 2019.
June of 2019 was a pivotal month for me. It was the month my divorce was finalized. It wasn’t until my birthday, maybe a couple of days afterwards, that I celebrated being FREE. That year’s theme was “46 and Free🦋.” I had waited so long for it to happen—years. And then, I was free.
This was a second chance at life. One that I didn’t take lightly. A decision I am still grateful I made.🦋This was me celebrating my newfound freedom. Enjoying the water and good food.This is a picture of my babies using my location to pull up on me. I was so surprised.😂 I just love them.🥰🥰
Maybe I’ll take a ride down to the coast. That’s if I can let this bed go.☺️
Here are a few more memories from June 29th.
The flowers, the pinks, the gold, the look, the quote—all made me smile. I’m forever a princess at heart. Even when I’m ninety, I’ll be a princess.🌸💗☺️Ralph T, Rizz, Rizzo! The New Edition king that’s often slept on. Johnny Gill is usually my go-to; however, for some reason, on that day, I decided to listen to Ralph. Yep… this memory made me smile. NE4Life✨Yes, I’m God’s vessel. His glory radiates through and from me.☺️✨
Great memories!
Favor, overflow, and grace. This is Year52.🎉
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love, peace, joy, and laughter.♥️
Here’s a reminder that YOU were divinely created to be different, to be one of one. Embrace all of you and SHINE!✨
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed weekend. May it be filled with love, joy, peace, and laughter. And remember to do something extra special for yourself today. You deserve it!♥️
