My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Y’all, this has been one looooooong Friday. Did anyone else’s Friday seem long? Usually, my Fridays are just as short as my Sundays. However, today was really long. Well, I can only hope that my weekend feels just as long as today. Oh…and that it’s lovely. Hopeful.☺️💗 ~Shaun
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
Good Morning!
Our road to success may seem never ending. However, we must continue moving forward as if our big break is only moments away. That’s hope.

Good Morning!☀️
Here’s today’s social media find. DO NOT GIVE UP! Success does not happen overnight. We refer to some as “overnight” successes, but in reality, they’ve been working on their craft for a while. Think about all of the social media celebrities. Most of us saw them when they first started making videos. They didn’t give up. They practiced their craft until it was so good that others wanted to share it.
If you have an idea or vision, that’s been nagging you for years, do it. Maybe all of the pieces aren’t in place, and you feel like making a move is pointless. Believe me, it’s not! Do something. Work towards it. Just don’t sit idle and one day wish you would have tried. The road to success will not be easy. DON’T GIVE UP! (This isn’t just for you, it’s for me too!☺️)
Do not give up!
Keep going!
Stumble.
Fall.
Get back up.
Keep going.
It will happen.
Sooner than later.
Smile.😊
Remain hopeful and optimistic. You’ve got this! Love you.♥️

Since I started the day off with a song, I figured it would only be appropriate to end the night with a song. Here’s what’s currently playing in my head.
“God’s Got A Blessing (with My Name On It)” by Norman Hutchins
Smile. God’s got a blessing with YOUR name on it!♥️
Good Night,
Shaun
When I scheduled my first post to be shared, I didn’t share any of the other captions I wrote last year. I usually share the same message on multiple pages with a similar or different message. Little did I know I would actually need one of the other messages this morning.
This morning, I received a text that left me in tears, and also with a long overdue matter I should have addressed a long time ago. It was something I had been hesitant to acknowledge or address for fear of an unfavorable outcome. A million scenarios have played over and over in my mind. But this reminder has given me the strength and courage needed to do what I need to do. Here’s the caption I shared last year—

Life is good, and my God is SO AMAZING! No matter how grim things may appear, or how discouraged you may become, know that God is still on the throne and is working behind the scenes. You will SMILE again. You will LAUGH again. You will LOVE again. You will LIVE a long prosperous (in ALL areas of life) life. Stay connected to God. I promise you, He will not fail you.♥️
God is still on the throne and I know He has my back and I am covered. I got this!
Praying you have a fabulous day! Also, no matter how crazy things may seem at the moment, know that this isn’t the end. You will smile, laugh, love, and live again. He’s got you. Just make sure you don’t keep putting off things that you need to deal with. It will not only free you but it could potentially free others. Love you!♥️

When we see or hear messages like the one above, we tend to believe our breakthrough is right around the corner. Well, sometimes that corner is very long, like years long. Just know that eventually your breakthrough will happen. Hold on as long as you can in your power. Then when you can’t hold on any longer, give it to God.
Honestly, I am not necessarily sure what I was waiting for besides my divorce, which happened two years later. I am pretty sure there was so much more by the exclamation marks and dancing emoji I used.
A lot has happened in seven years. I am so grateful for every breakthrough I experienced. They strengthened my relationship with God, and made me who I am today.
I pray that whatever breakthrough you are waiting for happens soon. If it doesn’t, just hold on. Believe me, it will happen.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
How does the song go, again?
In times like these you need a Savior
In times like these you need an anchor
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
Y’all, this isn’t the end, it’s the beginning…
So, be very sure that your anchor is firmly secured in God, and only God. Unlike us mere mortals, He knows what lies ahead. I know He will get us through this.
Love you!♥️

I promise this is the last post for today. My daughter is headed back home, my son is at work, and I am left alone deep in thought. I have absolutely no idea what is going on this year, especially during my Jubilee year, but it’s a lot. Confusion, chaos, hatred, you name it. Much more negative energy in the atmosphere than positive. I see it. I feel it. As much as I would love the kumbaya moments to happen and last, they seem far and few in between.
This past year I have witnessed people do things out of pure spite just to be noticed. No one thinks about the consequences of their actions. They can care less who they harm. It’s all about Me, Me, Me, and trending. And most of the time the true victims aren’t the people they intend to hurt but those connected to them. Y’all, people will literally sell their souls and relationships just for momentary satisfaction. Then when the feeling and fame wears off they search for more ways to become relevant, even if it does more harm. What is this world coming to?
I guess this means I need to do more to spread light and love. I know people are better than this. I think it’s time I become more intentional about finding like minded people who would rather build bridges than tear them down. People who, when hurt or angered, do not lash out, but instead extend kindness, mercy, and grace. Y’all, love must win!
My heart is breaking for humanity right now. I have to remain hopeful that things will get better soon.🙏🏽♥️

Sometimes when I share, I share my thoughts as I am processing them, or as they are revealed to me. Yesterday, I had one of my “aha” moments about what I truly desired to achieve, not physically but spiritually. It wasn’t until I shared my message about hope on YouTube that I was able to put into words what that actually meant. Here’s what I shared:
“I have decided to build my foundation on hope. Not only hope for myself, but hope for others. It’s my desire to see a more hopeful world. I pray that I inspire others to remain hopeful through everything I do. Whether that’s through my posts, random encounters, or nutrition sessions and cooking demos. I must do my part to keep hope alive. The light is dimming. We cannot afford to let it go out.”
Please join me in keeping hope alive. Love you!♥️
