Here’s today’s Facebook memory from my Nutrition with LaShaundreaB page:
Y’all, I needed to see this memory today. Earlier, I saw where Tabitha Brown had shared a couple of posts from years ago, years before she became well known. One of her messages was, “Never stop DREAMING!!” She shared it on March 1, 2011, thirteen years ago!
As I said, I needed to see this memory today. Y’all, I haven’t shared any food pictures or made any cooking videos in months. Honestly, I had decided to let that dream go. I felt like it was taking too much time and focus away from things that I should have been focusing on. Same with drawing. Whew. I have so many decisions to make. Do I follow my passions now, or put them off until later? I really wish I was superwoman and could do it all. Life…
Here’s the video that I had made showing me preparing the salad. I had shared it as a Facebook reel, but for some reason the link won’t work on here. And for some crazy reason I didn’t share it on Instagram. Anyhoo…here’s the YouTube short.

Yeah… I definitely needed to see this today. God is so good. As Tabitha said all those years ago, we should never stop dreaming. She didn’t and now she’s living in hers.
When I tell you Year50 is doing a number on me! But it is what I asked for, right? If I want the next 50+ to be different, I have to do something different. Which means I have to focus on what I desire the next 50 years to be like, and can’t continue doing what was comfortable the last 50.
I spent decades yearning for someone to love me for me. To love all of me unconditionally. To love me not only when I was at my best, but when I was at my worst—insecure, unmotivated, feeling ugly, and unsure of myself. To love me when I did not make the best decisions. To love me through both good and bad times. Just to love me.
Well, I have finally realized and accepted I am that person I spent years searching for. I had to learn to love myself not only when I was up, but also when I was down. Had to learn to stop criticizing and beating myself up over mistakes and bad decisions. Yeah, I had to love and accept all of me.
I am so very thankful I finally—took forever—found me.♥️ ~ Shaun

You deserve unconditional love, and there is no better person to give it to you than yourself.♥️
Look and think beyond what you see. Great things are already happening. Yes, they are ALREADY happening and will continue to happen!♥️
Yes, my first post for today has the same message. Smile. After sharing it here and across my social media platforms, I actually felt the message. It’s one thing to speak/say it and another to feel it. Well, I felt and still feel it, so I am sharing it…again.
Expect great things to happen! Expect it with all your heart and soul. Block the thoughts that you’re only psyching yourself up for disappointment. Baby nawl! NOT TODAY!! From here on out, despite our current situation or what we currently feel and see—keep hope and optimism flowing—great things will happen. Let’s intentionally expect them to happen. Just like I truly believe love conquers all, hope does also. Let’s fill the atmosphere with hope.
Love you!♥️
Shaun
P.S. Couldn’t wait until my schedule time to share. Had to share it now. Listen, God is working and moving. Let’s move with Him.
Could not decide between the two memories so I am sharing both.

Hello March!🌷 New Month New Blessings Wishing you a month of peace, love, happiness and blessings.♥️

New Day. New Month. Never lower your expectations. Always expect something wonderful to happen!🌸
Never stop expecting great things to happen even when you can’t see or feel anything happening. There was a time when I had stopped expecting anything at all. I had lost all hope. So grateful that time was short lived.
Today, I am expecting great things happen because I know God loves me. I can never lose hope again. Not on this side of 50. I have witnessed too many great things happen in my life and for others to believe I have already received and/or experienced all life has to offer. I know there is so much more to come.
Hello March! I am expecting great things to happen.♥️
In a few hours, I will have another nephew! A leap year baby!! He will be the newest member of our family since my mom passed. I’m excited. Can’t wait to see his little face.
It’s funny how the mind works. Two things came to mind when I wrote the title, a scripture and a song.
The scripture: Revelation 21:5 (NIV)
He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
The song: Boyz II Men’s “On Bended Knees” (the part where they sing about a new life)
I want a new life And I want it with you If you feel the same Don’t ever let it go You gotta believe in the spirit of love It’ll heal all things It won’t hurt anymore
Welcome to my world! I just love how my mind works. Keeps me entertained, for sure.
The message – God is making everything new.
Wish my mom was here to celebrate our newest member. It’s funny that about a month or so before she passed she told us my sister was pregnant, and my sister denied it. My mom only smiled. Well, a few months after she passed we found out my sister was pregnant. She knew. Smiling
Last year I shared, “Love and give freely.” When you love and give from your heart—without zero expectations in return—life becomes more beautiful.♥️ ~Shaun
Today’s blog is a short excerpt from my journal entry written on February 28, 2021. At the time, I happened to be listening to Bishop T.D. Jakes’ Sunday morning message, “Give Us An Awakening.” Here’s what I wrote:
Shaun, the gate is going to be open when you get there. You won’t have to push it open, it will just be open.
Listen, I am at a point where I refuse to accept that there will always be some sort of struggle before a blessing is received. I refuse to accept it as truth. There just has to be a time when we walk straight into our blessing(s). No struggle. No pain. Only bliss. And not in the afterlife.
So, today, instead of speaking in future tense, I am speaking as if it is so.
Shaun, you are at the gate. It’s open. Walk through.
