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

This Is How My Sunday’s Going

On June 8, 2022, I was dog-sitting for my sister. It was my first experience, and I had no clue she (Pepé) wasn’t supposed to have free rein of the house. She usually stays outside or in the laundry room.

Almost a year old.

That was three years ago, and I’m back at it today. The rules are the same, but I guess she knows it’s me and wants to be wherever I am.

She’s so much bigger now.

I pray you’re enjoying your Sunday.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

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

Love you always,

Shaun

**It’s already inside of you!!

Your Purpose Is Unique

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

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,

Shaun

My Fav

Listen!! Let me brag on my fav, Mr. Tyler Perry!! Gotta give him his roses!🌹

I have watched every movie, show, and play he’s created (yes…I’m a fan—Lol), but this last movie, STRAW, has to be one of my favorite movies yet! I love his other movies, but this one pulled at my heartstrings. Whew! Y’all know I love my babies, and this one was about a mother’s love for her daughter. Didn’t know I would cry as much as I did. I felt Janiyah’s (Taraji P. Henson—the mother and main character) pain. It was the pain of a mother not being able to properly provide for her baby. It’s a pain I know all too well. Not only personally, but also from watching my mom struggle when we were kids.

And, that ending!

Whew!!!

Y’all, I lost it at the end!

Phenomenal acting by Taraji P. Henson, Sherri Shepherd, and Teyana Taylor. They did their thing!! Queens!

And while watching Straw, I was also watching clips from the red carpet premiere of his new BET+ series that’s coming out next week, “Divorced Sistas.” Y’all already know I’m watching it!!

Listen, besides watching God work, I absolutely love watching Tyler Perry work. Y’all, he’s making dreams come true. To me, it’s his way of giving back, and I’m here for it!


I guess I’ll go to sleep now, but honestly, I’m too hyped to go to sleep.

God is good.

Good night, y’all!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

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♥️

God’s Glory Is On You

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
