Life is Lifing and I’m Kinda in My Feelings
Many of my colleagues are in Denver right now at our national conference, and me… I’m here at home. That used to be my thing. I loved going to our conferences and meeting and interacting with so many people. Now, I’m at home alone watching the excitement via social media. It’s times like these that make me want throw in the towel and go back to life as it was. When I didn’t have to work so hard. Where everything was predictable and the money was steady. But nooo! In Shaun true fashion, I had to choose the adventure, the challenge! Ugh!! Why am I like this?!!? Now look at me! While everyone is having fun, I’m sitting here in this life I created with this crazy notion that I am destined for so much more. Even got my babies believing it.
I know… this too shall pass.
On another note, when I reached around 830 days of continuous posting, I decided to challenge myself to post two posts daily. Sometimes I post more but two is my goal. Not sure if I will challenge myself to post more when I hit 1000 days. Honestly, I’m excited to see what I’ll do after 1000. I’m pretty sure I’ll come up with something special.
Anyhoo… that’s all I had. Just felt like venting. I really do miss being around my colleagues. I know that the season I am in is only temporary but sometimes it feels like it’s going to last forever. Learning to be patient while God continues to work on me, for me, and through me. I’m so glad He loves me.
Wishing you a blessed night.
Take Care!♥️

Make Every Moment Count
How often have you taken moments for granted?
Seems like the older I become, and the more my loved ones die, the more I cherish people, time and experiences. I try not to take anything or anyone for granted. As the saying goes, “Here today, gone tomorrow.” We never know if one particular moment—encounter or experience—will be our last.
Before I end, thank you for reading my blogs. I truly appreciate you and your time. Love you!♥️

Time to Face Your Fears
Facebook Memory: October 6, 2022
The only way to overcome a fear is to face it head on. Avoiding it will not make it disappear.
Are there fears you’ve been reluctant to face?
Master your fears. Don’t let them master you. You’ve got this!♥️

Girl… This Message is For You!
You better live! Life isn’t slowing down or waiting for you to catch up. Stop putting everyone else first like they’re more important than you. Listen… and hear me good… No one is more important or more valuable than you are. No one! You’re not being selfish, self-centered or inconsiderate. Nah… You’re just recognizing your worth. Now it’s time you start living in it. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun
Hello Year50!
This Process is Processing
Facebook Memory: October 4, 2022
Where you begin rarely looks like what you envisioned. Give yourself space, time and grace to grow. Don’t give up. You’ll get there!♥️
On another note, “Savior More Than Life,” by Kirk Franklin and The Family is still on repeat in my head. It’s been like this for days now. I can listen to music all day but once I turn it off, this song pops back up. Is my spirit on auto-worship mode and this is its worship song? Right now I am hearing that I just need to lean into God a little more as if a protection mode has been activated. Whew, Lord. I’m listening.
Well, this is how my day has started. As I stated above, growth is a process and I am still growing. Some days I have no idea if I am still in seed form or if my leaves are finally growing. When will my flowers begin budding? Sighing. Only time and life will tell. Until then, I guess I will lean into God a little more—get all comfy—and allow Him to love on me. Y’all have a wonderful day.
Love you!♥️

Stay Centered
Life is going to happen regardless. Staying centered means blocking outside and internal noises, and only focusing on yourself and God.
Yes, life is going to do what it does. Do not let it drag you with it.♥️ ~ Shaun
The Growing Place *UPDATED
Do not be discouraged. This is not where you are meant to stay. God is growing and preparing you for where you are going.♥️ ~ Shaun
Had to come back and add an update. Yesterday, I came across this exact sermon Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts had preached in Denver. All I could do was smile and shed a few tears. What if she would have given up after 2018? Just think, everything that transpired over the last year would not have happened.
Y’ALL!!! We have to keep going. I have to keep going. I know deep down there is sooooo much more God has planned for me. This is not where my story ends. Listen, I cannot afford to give up, and neither can you!! We must keep growing. Love you!
Hello October! (Hello Sunday)
Hello October!
October means fall is officially here and the holiday season is just around the corner. It also means the end of the year is near. I pray that you have accomplished most of what you set out to accomplish this year or you are a least working on it. Honestly, I am not even sure what I said I would work towards this year. Let me check and see….
I checked. Smiling. Not even sure how it’s happened—this has been one crazy year—but I am doing exactly what I set out to do. The only answer I have is “It’s ALL God!”. When God leads, even when we are not completely focused, He’s focused. He always gets us where we need to be. If you didn’t already know that’s called love, and I am soooo glad He loves me.
I pray everything is working out as you planned. Maybe it doesn’t look exactly like you envisioned; however, when you really look at how things are going, you know it’s actually going as planned. Remember to look beyond the superficial. Yeah… I bet you are right on track.
Wishing you a glorious day! Love you.♥️ ~ Shaun
Want to be Happy? Be Happy
How many times have you said something like, “They make me happy,” “This is my happy space,” or “I am happiest when…”? I know throughout my lifetime I have said or thought it at least a million times. However, looking back, it wasn’t the people around me or the spaces I was in that made me happy, it was me choosing to be happy. I am not saying that my surroundings didn’t contribute to my happiness, but ultimately it was my decision to be happy that allowed me to experience it.
Y’all, I have been in some spaces where I should have felt my lowest, yet I was happy. I have also been in spaces where I should’ve been on cloud nine and was miserable. It took me years to realize I controlled my happiness. I am not saying that I am never sad or disappointed or heartbroken. What I am saying is, over time I decided happiness was a better choice, and I absolutely love being happy.

Praying you have an absolutely amazing day. Remember, you are in control of your happiness. Love you!♥️
