Always Give Back

Shaun Bradford

Below is one of the posts I shared on February 27, 2019. As mentioned in the caption, others don’t have to see or know what you’re doing. What’s important is that you’re doing something—that you are giving back. Always give back.🙏🏽

Love you!♥️

Happy Love Day, Part 2

Shaun Bradford
♥️

Not only are you loved, but YOU are love. Yes, you are one of the truest definitions of love. You were divinely created to be so. Believe me, God wouldn’t have it any other way. The way you selflessly give and pour into others is unmatched. Your heart is pure, and your kindness is genuine. When you smile, others feel it. When you say, “I love you,” you mean it.

Yes, YOU are love.

Love you,

Shaun

Now, look into the mirror and read it again.😘

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

The last few months have been an emotional roller coaster ride for me. However, these last two weeks have really done a number on me! Just being honest and transparent. Imagine spending your entire life picturing a future world where kindness, peace, love, inclusion, equity, and goodwill towards all humanity was the norm to… whatever this is. Y’all, I don’t even know what to call it. It’s like going from envisioning somewhat of a utopian world—if you know me, then you know I wanted the world singing in “perfect harmony” (smile)—to seeing a dystopian society being created right before my eyes.

This isn’t a movie. It’s real. So very real. Those hurting aren’t fictional characters. They are real people. Real people (not only “DEI” hires) are losing or in fear of losing their jobs. Real people—not only criminals but children and mothers—are being detained and deported without an ounce of empathy. Marginalized people who have spent their lives overcoming discrimination are being treated like they’re “second–class citizens.” Whew! Talk about triggering!! Then, to make matters even worse, access to vital information is being denied and/or erased. Again, this isn’t a movie, “fake news,” or “woke news.” This is actually happening!

I digress… (long sigh)

I know for my own sanity, I must let go of things I cannot change… at the moment. I know that I can’t help others if I’m not physically, mentally, or emotionally strong enough and prepared to do so. But y’all, I am so serious right now, my heart is breaking.💔

I found this among inspirational messages I have saved. A much needed word for today.🙏🏽

Thanks for allowing me to share. I know God’s in control. I pray you have a wonderful Sunday.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun
