Never give up on your dreams. Endure the process.♥️
Trust God!
Yesterday, or the day before, it was, “Trust the process.” Today’s Facebook memory is, “Endure the process.” Listen, whatever that process is, you have to go through it. There’s no way around it.
Don’t you dare give up! Your purpose is too great!!♥️
Thanks to Senator Cory Booker’s post this morning, PERSEVERE is the word of the day!
No matter how many setbacks you have, keep trying. No matter how many times you have to restart, keep starting. Keep dreaming. Keep creating. Keep building. PERSEVERE! In time, everything you once dreamed will be your reality.
When I tell you this message has hit on EVERYTHING I have been sharing lately! Listen, whatever you do, DO NOT GIVE UP!!! Stay the course. God’s got you!♥️ ~Shaun
Here’s today’s Facebook memory from my Nutrition with LaShaundreaB page:
Y’all, I needed to see this memory today. Earlier, I saw where Tabitha Brown had shared a couple of posts from years ago, years before she became well known. One of her messages was, “Never stop DREAMING!!” She shared it on March 1, 2011, thirteen years ago!
As I said, I needed to see this memory today. Y’all, I haven’t shared any food pictures or made any cooking videos in months. Honestly, I had decided to let that dream go. I felt like it was taking too much time and focus away from things that I should have been focusing on. Same with drawing. Whew. I have so many decisions to make. Do I follow my passions now, or put them off until later? I really wish I was superwoman and could do it all. Life…
Here’s the video that I had made showing me preparing the salad. I had shared it as a Facebook reel, but for some reason the link won’t work on here. And for some crazy reason I didn’t share it on Instagram. Anyhoo…here’s the YouTube short.

Yeah… I definitely needed to see this today. God is so good. As Tabitha said all those years ago, we should never stop dreaming. She didn’t and now she’s living in hers.
When I tell you Year50 is doing a number on me! But it is what I asked for, right? If I want the next 50+ to be different, I have to do something different. Which means I have to focus on what I desire the next 50 years to be like, and can’t continue doing what was comfortable the last 50.
Be careful not to let your current situation stop you from pursuing your dreams. They say things always seem to get worse before they get better, and I can attest to that. Been through so much over my lifetime. Every time I was about to give up, God came through. He did it for me and I know He will do it for you.
Remember, this is only one small part of your story. As long as you are living, your story continues, and life goes on. God’s got you (and me too).
Just hold on! I promise you great things are coming.
Here is a friendly reminder that you must keep going. Listen, you have come too far and been through too much to give up now. As my fav said a year ago, focus on one step at a time.
Facebook Memory: December 6, 2022
Gotta keep going!♥️
I don’t know about you but I can hear Mary Mary singing, “Can’t Give Up Now.”
Please ignore the hair and expression. I believe my mom was rushing me.😂
This is another gem from November 5, 2022 that has reminded me of my “why”. I must have been looking for something important that day and found my first passport. I was 17 years old when I got it. Seventeen and ready to take on the world. Y’all, I just knew I was going to change the world. Then life happened. As I told my daughter this morning, everything I thought was working against me, I now see it was working for me. God knew I wasn’t ready. That I needed to experience life and work on a few things before I could move forward. It really is true, life does not happen to us, it happens for us.
As I said in today’s Hello Sunday, I must stay focused. This dream has been following me most of my life. So many times I tried to shake it but couldn’t. So, I must keep going until it comes to fruition!♥️
In 1992, my goal was to help end world poverty. Carol Moseley Braun was my inspiration. I had so many goals. When you’re young you tend believe that you have all the answers. Well, poverty is still here and will always be here. My goal is to help improve the quality of life of those living in poverty. I may not be able to save them, but I can help them.
Oh, I also wanted to be the Surgeon General of the United States. Boy did I have goals!😊
Carol Moseley Braun – First Black woman elected to the United States Senate (1992). In 1999, she became the Ambassador of the United States to New Zealand and Samoa.
Transparent moment…
My decision to return to school was not one that I made rashly. I know myself, and I know that this would have been something that would have hung over my head for years. I would have been okay with not finishing; however, I also would have wondered what would have been had I finished.
Today, I have a little over one week left in this term. I am mentally drained and a little discouraged. I am doing well, but not my best (yeah… I know this). I needed to see this memory today. I needed to be reminded of my “why.” I can do this!
That’s all for today. I may or may not make a second post today. Praying you have a wonderful weekend.
