Loving Me

Shaun Bradford

Happy Self-Love Saturday! Make sure you show yourself a little extra love today.

Today is Year51 and two months! Woohoo!!🎉 Laughing because unlike last year, I haven’t been keeping up with each milestone month beyond my 51st birthday. However, last year I made it a point to capture each one. Here’s what I shared a year ago while celebrating my Jubilee year.

Facebook/Threads: August 24, 2023

As I stated last year, I owe it to myself to become everything I ever imagined and dream, and I aim to do just that. Although I don’t feel like I am aging—y’all, I actually feel like I’m still 20/21—I do realize I am on the other side of 50. Meaning the next 50+ years I spoke of is possibly a beautiful reach. Knowing this, I plan to seize opportunities (the right ones on this side of 50—discernment on 10—no more wasting unnecessary time on things that don’t align with my purpose or dreams) like they’re my last. No more allowing opportunities to pass by in hopes of them rolling around again. Nah.. on this side I am truly living and taking in every single wonderful opportunity and experience God has for me. You wanna know why? It’s because God loves me and I love me, too.

Yes… I love me.🥰

This is all for now. Praying you have a wonderful weekend. Remember to shower yourself with lots of love.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

I’m Living!

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning! Five years ago, I asked myself if I was living or just existing. It’s one of my favorite lines from my fav’s movie, “The Family That Preys.” Back then, I had to really think about it. Honestly, I couldn’t fully say that I was. Well, today, that answer is “Baby, yes! I am definitely living!” As I have said so many times before, I am absolutely loving this side of 50! Y’all, it’s the best!♥️ ~Shaun

Here’s what else I found among my memories, pictures from my first BBD concert. I recently wrote about the tickets I won the day before my birthday in 2014. However, what I didn’t include—which I included in the book I wrote that morning but nixed at the last minute—was that I actually saw them in concert five years before and I spoke to Michael Bivins. And guess what?! He spoke back!!! AHHHHHH!!!😂😂😂😂😂 Y’all, I absolutely love my life!

I screenshot it so the date would remain.☺️ Isn’t it cool!!

Feeling Free

Shaun Bradford

Welcome back!

♥️

Y’all, there is no greater feeling than the freedom to be. The freedom to just be me.

Thinking about how I woke up this morning and shared my random song. That was me just being me. Me loving life without feeling awkward or wondering what others would think or say.

This wasn’t always the case.

When I tell you I am so in awe of how my life has changed. One thought/request for this side of 50 to be different and it happened.

God is so amazing.

Loving the freedom to just be me.♥️

Keep Hope Alive

Shaun Bradford

There isn’t too much to add to last year’s Facebook memory. Just remain optimistic. Good things do happen, and dreams do come true. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

Facebook Memory: July 13, 2023

Good things DO happen.

Dreams DO come true.

It is possible to love and be loved unconditionally.

Beauty can be found in even the darkest moments.

Do not allow anyone to convince you otherwise.

Keep hope alive by remaining optimistic.♥️

True Happiness

Shaun Bradford

True happiness comes from within.

You can’t find true happiness in things or people, and you surely cannot buy it. Believe me, I have tried before only to end up in the same state—feeling sad, depressed, unloved—after the excitement was over. No, true happiness is God-given and comes from within.♥️

Facebook Memory: July 10, 2023

True happiness comes from within. Wishing you much happiness and peace.♥️

Wishing you true happiness.

On another note, earlier this morning I watched Jay Shetty’s podcast with philanthropist, Melinda French Gates. It was a conversation I was already interested in hearing. However, I did not know it would end up being one I needed to hear. Yes, needed to hear. I can’t say it enough, I just love how God loves me. He always sends the right messages at the absolute right time. Always.

Here’s the link, if you are interested: Jay Shetty with Melinda French Gates.

Praying you’re having a wonderful day this far.♥️

Take Care,

Shaun
