My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Maybe I should have said at least 1/3 of my weekly posts will be original. Yeah… at least a third. Here’s another Facebook memory. Smile
Facebook Memory: February 18, 2022
You are loved, appreciated and invaluable. Smile!🌼
Keep smiling.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Wishing you much love, peace, and joy. Not only on today but every day. Praying you have a wonderful day. Love you!♥️

I used to believe doing something nice for myself was self love. I would buy myself something nice, treat myself to a fabulous meal, get a massage, or spend the day doing either everything I wanted to do or nothing at all. That was my definition of self love. Now… Now, it’s more about protecting my peace and my holistic wellbeing with my spiritual and mental wellness being most important.
Here are a few things I have finally learned and implemented:
– Saying “no” to things I don’t want to do, and without feeling guilty (yeah…it used to weigh on me), is self love. “No” is a complete sentence. No explanation needed.
– Protecting my space (physically and mentally) is self love. I am so mindful of who and/or what I allow into my space. Discernment has been key.
– Receiving good things without feeling like I don’t deserve them is self love. Yes, I deserve good things. I deserve God’s best. I mean, I am His child! Smile
– Being nurtured instead of always being the nurturer is self love. Listen, once you have been on the receiving side you can’t imagine settling for anything less.
– Putting myself and my needs first is self love. I believe this has allowed me to love even deeper. It has definitely strengthened my relationship with God.
It took me forever to get here (decades). And now that I am finally here I have no intentions of going back to life as it was. I love it here. Smiling
Guess you could say this is life beyond Year50.
I pray you have found true self love. Believe me, it’s beautiful and so peaceful.♥️

Gifts are nice and ALWAYS appreciated. However, it’s so important to recognize nothing can replace the gift of your presence. Whether physically or virtually, your presence is priceless. You ARE the gift!
Even though we are gifts to others, let’s remember to appreciate our gifts. Those who God placed in our lives to love and support us. They are priceless. Getting emotional as I think about my gifts. We must hold them dearly.
Side note: You will not be everyone’s gift, nor them yours. Learned this a lot over the past few years. I used to consider everyone a gift. They may have been for someone, but they were not for me. Yeah…took me forever to get this through my head. Listen, treasure your true gifts (don’t be fooled by the fake—the ones who pretend to love on you while intentionally draining you) and let the others go.
This is all for now. Didn’t mean to end on a sour note, but we really have to be careful. As I said before, I am learning. Anyhoo… Wishing you a lovely day and beautiful weekend! One of my gifts (my daughter) is coming home to visit! Can’t wait to love on her!!♥️
Be Blessed♥️

Joy (Merriam-Webster): a source or cause of delight
Hold closely those things that bring you joy.♥️
What are some things that bring you joy?
Me…
Seeing people smile and laugh, especially my two. Knowing God loves me unconditionally. Seeing and feeling the sunshine. Good food. Great company. Chatting with my sisters and friends—I love our bond. Being loved. Feeling loved.
I will also add…
Knowing that every day is a new beginning—an opportunity to become a better version of myself. Lastly, knowing that my future will be brighter than my past. The best is yet to come.
Wishing you a beautiful day filled with love, laughter, and joy.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Last year, I shared the following Facebook memory below under “Self-Love Saturday.”
Question: When was the last time you reminded yourself of how amazing you are? If it has been a while, stop what you are doing and do it now!
Never wait for others to recognize the greatness God has placed inside of you, or tell you that you are amazing. Just know that you are!

You are absolutely, undeniably AMAZING! Yes… I’m talking to YOU!♥️
It’s Shaun’s World
