Phenomenal, Is Who I Am

Found this beautiful reminder by Dr. Maya Angelou in my in my saved photos (April 30, 2020). “I’m a woman. Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, that’s me.”

“Phenomenal Woman” by Dr. Maya Angelou

Such a beautiful find!💎

And timely!

I’m currently reading Dr. Angelou’s book, “A Song Flung Up To Heaven.” I read it ages ago and recently found it after my mom passed. It was packed away with her things. When I read it the first time, I read it without stopping to soak in her stories. Now that I’m older and in the process of finding my space in this over-50 community and the work that I’m finding myself drawn to, her stories are hitting differently. I see her.

Mother. Daughter. Sister. Friend.

Advocacy. Politics. Equality. Human Rights. Freedom.

Love. Life. Being.

Art.

Music.

Rhythm.

I feel this.

It’s who I am.

Yes…

A phenomenal woman.

That’s me.♥️

Praise And Worship: April 30, 2025

I’ve been singing worship songs a lot lately. Sometimes I feel as though I’m singing and worshipping for others, not only for myself. So if you need this, I’m singing the following for you—

There’s nothing God can’t do, hallelujah. There’s nothing God, can’t do.

He’ll wipe the tears from your eyes. He’ll make a way out of no way—out of no way—out of no way. He’s the answer, hallelujah. There’s nothing God can’t do.

Now, I don’t know if that’s how the song actually goes, but that’s how I’m singing it this morning. Know that God’s got you! Whatever you’re going through, turn it over to Him. Place everything in His hands and at His feet. You may not see it, but He’s working behind the scenes making every crooked road straight. He’s got YOU!!

Love you!♥️

Thankful for God’s smile—God’s favor. I am truly blessed.

I pray that you have a wonderful day!♥️

I love you,

God’s Patience

I am so very grateful for God’s patience with me. This journey has been long, tedious, and exhausting. I can’t even begin to count the number of times I have wanted to give up—BUT GOD!

God, thank You for being patient with me.🙏🏽

Release And Receive

Good Morning☀️

Today is the day to release every negative thing that’s been holding your heart, mind, and spirit captive. You know those things that have been preventing you from fully enjoying your blessings and life. Release them so you can receive and enjoy every blessing God has for you. You will never be able to truly enjoy them until you do.

Release them TODAY!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Don’t Do It Without Me

My Journey With God, No. 88

God’s leading the way.🙏🏽

Isaiah 42:16

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.


I am following God’s lead. I’m not sure where He’s taking me; however, I trust Him to “turn the darkness into light” and “make the rough places smooth.” I know He will be with me every step of this journey.

I trust, You, Lord.♥️
