Who Are You?

Shaun Bradford

When was the last time you took a moment to ask yourself, “Who am I?”. I recently attended an event, and that was one of the questions. Who are you outside of your relationships with others? Who are you outside of your career? Who are you outside of social media? Who are you when no one else is around? What are your innermost dreams and ambitions, or your deepest hurts and fears—you know, the ones only you and God know about? Who are you?

Once you discover who you truly are, embrace and nurture the attributes that bring out the best in you and heal the parts that need healing so you can become the best version of yourself.

God has so many blessings waiting for the true you. Discover who you are!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

I’m There

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

I shared the following on May 12, 2022—

Thank You, Lord for hearing my prayers and making this side of 50 different. Amen

That was God’s word to me three years ago, which I so graciously shared with you. Smile. You’ll never get to where you want to be if you can’t see or feel yourself there. It’s all about mindset.

Same questions as before:

– Can you see yourself there?

– Can you feel yourself there?

– Are you already there?

Me, I’m already there.

I’m there (here), fully immersed in and experiencing it all.

Y’all, God is so good! When I think about where my life and mindset were three years ago compared to where they are now, all I can do is praise God. I’m so thankful that He never gave up on me. So grateful that He kept nudging me forward when I felt like giving up and when I wanted to settle. I am so very blessed.

I pray you have an exceptionally wonderful week. Remember to keep God first and keep shining!✨♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

Celebrating Mother’s Day

Shaun Bradford

When I woke up this morning, the last thing I wanted to do was celebrate Mother’s Day. I just wasn’t feeling it. But God and my daughter had different plans. I’m so glad she decided to come home this weekend. I needed her company. I needed the love, laughs, hugs (from both of my hearts), and good food. I may have lost my mother, but… I am a mother. God blessed me with two beautiful souls. How could I not celebrate this honor?

My daughter is on her way back home. We did more in about 18 hours than we would have done the entire weekend. When I tell you we laughed, danced, sang, ate, watched Netflix (started “Forever”), had a few deep conversations, and ate some more.🥰

To the mothers and mother figures who nurture and give selflessly, “Happy Mother’s Day!” You are loved and appreciated.💕🌸💗

Y’all, I Got My Roses!

Shaun Bradford

Just made it home and was surprised with two gift—

One…

My daughter’s home! She told me she probably wouldn’t come home because I was going to have a busy weekend, but she had sent me something that would make me smile.

And two…

I’m smiling. She sent me flowers. Y’all, I got my roses!

Talk about the perfect ending to a very long day. God is so very good.

Beyond Blessed!♥️

Yes…

Now, repeat with me—

“I deserve a wonderful life.”

And do.🥰

I pray you are enjoying your Self-Love Saturday. Remember to do something special for yourself.♥️

I love you,

Each day and step forward, no matter how small, puts you closer to your dreams.♥️

Roses

My photo memory is filled with pictures of roses. These just happened to be saved on May 8th.🌹♥️

When I was a little girl, almost every house on my great, great grandparents’ street had rose bushes. There was even a lady who lived down the street named Ms. Rosie, who had a yard full of roses. I said that I’d have a whole garden of roses when I grew up. Instead, I have a phone full of photos and drawings of roses. Smiling because life is funny. Gotta love it.♥️

Embracing EVERY Good Thing God Has For Me

Shaun Bradford
May 8, 2024

Last year, I shared the following in my post, “Embracing All Good Things”—

“Today, I am embracing all good things. Embracing every single blessing God sends my way. I am so thankful for His love. I can’t say it enough, I am truly blessed.”

And nothing’s changed. I am seizing and embracing every last good thing God has for me. Taking nothing for granted. Nothing! I am so blessed.

I pray you are doing the same.♥️

Love you much,

Shaun
