Check Your Heart

♥️

Where’s your heart these days?

Where your heart is, matters. It guides your decisions and actions, whether consciously or subconsciously. Be sure to check your heart posture, and check it often.

Is it sad?

Is it mad?

Is it broken?

Is it hurt?

Is it disappointed?

Is it bitter?

Is it jealous?

Is it resentful?

Is it hateful?

Is it closed?

Or…

Is it joyful?

Is it happy?

Is it hopeful?

Is it excited?

Is it peaceful?

Is it grateful?

Is it trusting?

Is it loving?

Is it kind?

Is it empathetic?

Is it compassionate?

Is it open?

It’s important to know where your heart’s at to ensure you’re moving towards a brighter, healthier, and happier future.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

The Secret Is In Knowing

I shared the message below a couple of years ago. What I have since learned is that “Knowing” is the secret.♥️ ~Shaun

At this present moment in time, I already have everything I need. Whatever I need for next, God will provide that too. I’m not guessing or hoping He will. I know He will.

Remain Open to Love

Had a dream about turtles last night. Not just one particular kind but several different turtles. Two, in particular, stood out. There was this huge turtle with a turquoise shell with a baby turtle beside them. Then there was this other turtle that I first thought was a new kind lizard. It kept following me in a playful way. Now y’all, I am afraid of lizards but I love turtles. Well, I wasn’t afraid of this particular lizard. I finally turned my attention to it and discovered it wasn’t a lizard but a turtle whose shell had come off. It led me back to its shell and I attempted to put it back on. I taped it together with some clear packing tape and it was happy. Then it really followed me everywhere I went. There was also a tiny snapping turtle in my dream but I ignored it.

Of course I googled the meaning of seeing turtles in a dream but there were so many that I decided to interpret it on my own. Well, this is what came to me while I was attempting to draw a turtle and while this one particular song kept playing over and over in my head. Hadn’t heard it in forever… I Don’t Have the Heart by James Ingram. Talk about weird.

My interpretation:

It’s okay to protect your heart. However, you have to also be open to be loved. You cannot be so protected that you do not let love in. I am now realizing that that particular song is the song that has kept me from letting love in because in my experience, that was how the relationships I wanted always ended. “I care about you but…”. I have to stop assuming my story will always end that way. Guess I will never know if I stay guarded. Time to see what happens…

That’s all I have. Supposed to be getting ready to attend a conference, but know I couldn’t miss a day of sharing. I’m now on day 814, I believe.

Love you!♥️

Dedication

Dedication (Merriam-Webster): Self-sacrificing devotion and loyalty

Whew!! What a definition! Listen, dedication requires heart and commitment. If your heart isn’t in it, consider letting it go. However, if your heart is there, STICK WITH IT!♥️

On this date five years ago (2017), I posted my second blog. Here’s what I wrote in my journal–

Just published my second blog. Some may read it. Some may not. Either way, I have to keep up what I’ve started. We shall see. With God’s help, it’ll be done. Amen

Today’s entry will make 583 consecutive daily posts under It’s Shaun’s World. I’m not sure how many I have in total, which would include my blogs under The Research Diva/I Am LaShaundreaB and Nutrition with LaShaundreaB.

I guess you can say my heart is definitely in it! ~ Shaun
