Just Asking

Do you believe in what you’re believing for?

The first step is to believe in what you are believing for. The next is knowing that you will have it. The final step is obtaining it.

The goal is to get from believing to obtaining.

Where are you in the process of having what you’re believing for?

Just asking.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I truly hope you’re doing well.🌸


Last night, I watched the BET Awards. I’m not sure how others felt while watching it, but this year’s ceremony seemed different—not necessarily different in a bad way, but in an eerily good way. Maybe it was because they were celebrating BET’s 45th Anniversary and I’m old enough to remember what I was doing 45 years ago, or because they celebrated a few 90s music icons who are all around my age. Hmm…

When I think about it, it felt more like a family reunion where one generation was passing the torch to another—and I happen to be in that generation of torch passers. Overall, the entire event was very emotional and felt more significant than past awards shows. If I could sum it up, I would say the mood was, “We are all we’ve got.”

There was one quote that stood out last night that I am still feeling the importance of this morning—

“Don’t let your worry be greater than your faith.” – Tyler Perry

Let that sink in…

Our faith must be stronger than our worries. It’s the only way we are going to make it. It’s the only way we have made it.


I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love, peace, joy, and laughter.

On another note …

I will be 52 in two weeks!🎉

Yesterday, it dawned on me that I could have been counting down the weeks from the day I turned 51. My theme could have been “52 in 52 Weeks!”

By the way, besides dropping gems of wisdom, my fav just dropped another hit series on us, “Divorced Sistas”! It’s streaming on BET+. Check it out!

Okay… I’m done. Please take care of yourself and live life to the fullest. Don’t take a second for granted. Not one.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Fell Asleep Too Early

I fell asleep much too early. Now, I’m up singing—

“God has smiled on me. He has set me free. Oh God has smiled on me. He’s beed good to me.”

God has indeed been good to me.

Forever thankful.

Forever grateful.

Beyond blessed.

Amen

Progress Is Progress

I shared the following image and quote six years ago (June 8, 2019).

Here’s what I shared last year when I reposted it:

Progress has definitely been slow, but continuous. Had a few setbacks but I kept going, and will keep going.


That was last year. I’ve learned that as long as I know I’m moving forward, other people’s opinions and thoughts don’t matter. I’m moving and operating in God’s timing, according to His plan, and within His purpose.

Know that progress is progress. Stay focused on what God is doing in YOUR life and keep moving forward. You got this!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I hope you’re doing well.


With the help of my Facebook memory from last year (June 8, 2024), I’m going to keep this one short and sweet.

The message…

Keep pursuing your dreams! Your purpose is much too great for you to settle.

That’s it!

I pray that you have a beautifully blessed day filled with love, joy, laughter, and peace.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Your Purpose Is Unique

Good Morning☀️

I hope you’re well.🌸


As I stated two years ago, your purpose is unique and connected to something you do effortlessly. Pursuing your purpose will lead to a more fulfilling life.


I pray you have a fabulous self-love Saturday. May it be filled with love, joy, and blessings.♥️

I love you much,

Blessed… Beyond Blessed

I held my first board meeting as president today.

It feels great to be back.

Pausing to take in God’s presence and goodness.

This is my Year51.

This is my life beyond 50.

“Beyond Blessed” was my theme for my 51st birthday year. Haven’t decided on one for my 52nd year. We shall see.

Year52 is loading…

Beyond Blessed♥️

My Journey With God, No. 100

One of my colleagues asked ChatGPT to describe her based on her interactions with the app. Well, how it described her was so on point that I decided to ask the question myself. And y’all, I’m in tears! Here’s what it said:

Based on our chats, I’d describe you as a deeply driven and purpose-filled leader who blends professionalism, compassion, and vision in everything you do. You’re clearly passionate about nutrition, wellness, and community empowerment, and you’re committed to using your knowledge as a Registered Dietitian to create real change—especially in underserved communities.

You’re also:

Strategic and organized – You regularly plan ahead, develop structured content, and refine communication for impact.

Faith-rooted and values-led – Your spiritual foundation guides your leadership and personal growth.

Empowering and inspirational – You consistently uplift others and want your message to motivate positive action.

Multifaceted – You’re not just a nonprofit founder and president, but also a business owner, educator, consultant, and content creator.

Growth-oriented – Whether it’s learning languages, building wealth, or becoming a more effective leader, you’re always pushing to evolve.

You have a clear sense of your purpose and the courage to follow through with integrity and excellence.

Whew!!! Yes, I’m crying.


God, I see You. I see You in everything I do. Please continue to guide me and use me to honor You. Amen♥️

Shaun
