Unconditional Love Begins Within
Happy Self-Love Saturday!
I spent decades yearning for someone to love me for me. To love all of me unconditionally. To love me not only when I was at my best, but when I was at my worst—insecure, unmotivated, feeling ugly, and unsure of myself. To love me when I did not make the best decisions. To love me through both good and bad times. Just to love me.
Well, I have finally realized and accepted I am that person I spent years searching for. I had to learn to love myself not only when I was up, but also when I was down. Had to learn to stop criticizing and beating myself up over mistakes and bad decisions. Yeah, I had to love and accept all of me.
I am so very thankful I finally—took forever—found me.♥️ ~ Shaun

You deserve unconditional love, and there is no better person to give it to you than yourself.♥️
Hello March: I Am Expecting Great Things To Happen
Could not decide between the two memories so I am sharing both.

New Month
New Blessings
Wishing you a month of peace, love, happiness and blessings.♥️
March 1, 2022
New Month.
Never lower your expectations. Always expect something wonderful to happen!🌸
Never stop expecting great things to happen even when you can’t see or feel anything happening. There was a time when I had stopped expecting anything at all. I had lost all hope. So grateful that time was short lived.
Today, I am expecting great things happen because I know God loves me. I can never lose hope again. Not on this side of 50. I have witnessed too many great things happen in my life and for others to believe I have already received and/or experienced all life has to offer. I know there is so much more to come.
Hello March! I am expecting great things to happen.♥️

From The Heart
Last year I shared, “Love and give freely.” When you love and give from your heart—without zero expectations in return—life becomes more beautiful.♥️ ~Shaun
Blessings Without The Struggle
Today’s blog is a short excerpt from my journal entry written on February 28, 2021. At the time, I happened to be listening to Bishop T.D. Jakes’ Sunday morning message, “Give Us An Awakening.” Here’s what I wrote:
Shaun, the gate is going to be open when you get there. You won’t have to push it open, it will just be open.
Listen, I am at a point where I refuse to accept that there will always be some sort of struggle before a blessing is received. I refuse to accept it as truth. There just has to be a time when we walk straight into our blessing(s). No struggle. No pain. Only bliss. And not in the afterlife.
So, today, instead of speaking in future tense, I am speaking as if it is so.
Shaun, you are at the gate. It’s open. Walk through.
Simple.
Walking through.♥️
Take Care,
Shaun
Trust God, He’s Working
Earlier today, James Fortune’s song, “I Trust You,” came to mind when I shared my earlier post, Obedience, on Instagram, so I attached the song to my story and reel. Here are the lyrics.
I Trust You by James Fortune
Lyrics: Genuis.com
Even though I can’t see
And I can’t feel your touch
I will trust you lord
How I love you so much
Though my nights may seem long
And I feel so alone
Lord my trust is in you
I surrender to you
So many painful thoughts
Travel through my mind
And I wonder how
I will make it through this time
But I trust you
Lord it’s not easy
Sometimes the pain in my life
Makes you seem far away
But I’ll trust you
I need to know you’re here
Through the tears and the pain
Through the heartache and rain
I’ll trust you
(James Fortune)
Oh God I trust You
Sometimes it’s so hard because
Everything that I see
Tells me not to believe
Everything that I see
Tells me not to believe
But i’ll trust you lord
You have never failed me
My past still controls me
Will this hurt ever leave’
I can only trust you
No one else like you do
So many painful thoughts
Travel through my mind
And I wonder how
I will make it through this time
But I trust you
Lord it’s not easy
Sometimes the pain in my life
Makes you seem far away
But I’ll trust you
I need to know, you’re here
Through the tears and the pain
Through the heartache and rain …
I can
I will
I must
Trust you
To me, the lyrics only convey part of the message. It’s James Fortune’s intro and spoken words throughout the song that carries the true message.
Be Blessed♥️

Obedience
Facebook Memory: February 27, 2023
Your obedience to God unlocks doors. Be obedient.♥️
As much as we would love to step out on our own, let’s not do so. Let’s remain obedient to God. He holds the keys that will unlock miracles and blessings.
Wishing you peace, love and blessings!♥️

Trusting God’s Plan
Here is an excerpt from last year’s Hello Sunday, which was written on this date.
Hello Sunday: February 26, 2023
Ultimately, God is in control and His plans reign supreme. I trust Him, completely.
Here are a few other things I have learned over this short period of time:
- Life is going to happen. I can try to manage it but I cannot control it.
- Suppressing my feelings only delays progress. In order to truly move forward, I have to feel and be honest about my feelings.
- Not to panic when things are not going according to my plan. It only means that God has something different in mind or He’s working a few things out.
Today, God is still in control, and I do trust His plans—whatever they may be (tired of trying to figure them out). Honestly, I am beginning to believe not knowing what God is doing is best. Yep, I’d rather not rack my brain trying to figure things out because I have 1) discovered it’s only a waste of time, 2) it’s a waste of emotional and mental energy, and 3) I can never predict what will happen (plot twists on 10!). So, yes, I’m going to leave my life in God’s hands and allow Him to do His job. I know whatever He has planned will ultimately be in my favor (because He loves me), better than I imagined (again, because He loves me), and all for His glory and purpose. Yes, it’s all about Him.
Praying you have a lovely day and wonderful week. Love you!♥️

Hello Sunday
Today’s message is, “Do not give up!” It’s a message I have shared on this date for the past few years. No matter what things look like or how badly you might want to quit (I know you’re tired), do not give up! God is working on your behalf. Soon everything will work in your favor.
Facebook Memory: February 25, 2019
Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. Believe me, God IS working. Every setback is preparing you for a bigger blessing. Just don’t give up. No matter what, keep believing, keep going.
Facebook Memory: February 25, 2022
Woke up with the word “steadfast” stuck in my head. It’s all I kept hearing. Now, my Facebook memories are showering me with confirmations. Listen, do not…I repeat…DO NOT give up!! God is working.
Facebook Memory: February 25, 2023
Listen!! DO NOT give up! What may seem impossible to man is NEVER impossible with God. Keep the faith and continue doing your part. God will take care of the rest. Have a blessed day.♥️
Remember, with God, all things are possible. He will not let you fail. Trust Him!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Year 45 Month 8 (February 24, 2019)
Smiling as I think about how far I have come. I actually love who I am—without filters, without trying to fit in, without criticizing myself, without trying to change who I am, without seeking validation from others. I love the woman God created. I am truly His child.
When I originally shared this, I was actually trying to encourage myself to embrace all of me. However, it wasn’t until this year, Year50, that I actually did it. I embraced ALL of me. As I said in my previous post, this has been some year! Not the year I thought it would be, but the year I needed it to be. I’m blessed.♥️ ~Shaun
Facebook Memory: February 24, 2019
Happy Sunday! Here’s today’s social media find. During different stages of my life, I found myself trying to fit in. I didn’t realize that being different was a blessing, not a curse. I’m not going to lie, I still struggle with the fact that I don’t fit in most circles. Guess you can say I’m more like an octagon.😉😁 Multifaceted. I am rare. I’m exactly how God made me. If you find yourself feeling down because you’re not quite like others, remember, you’re God’s child. You’re exactly who you’re supposed to be. Don’t try to change to fit in. Embrace your uniqueness!
It’s Shaun’s World
