This One Is For The Dream

Shaun Bradford

I just VOTED!!!

Today, I didn’t just vote for myself, but I voted for my momma, my grandma, my great grandma, my great-great grands—mothers, aunts, cousins, godmothers… Yes, today, I voted for them.

But that’s not what has me all emotional and excited right now. Nah… that’s not it!

Listen, I just voted for five year old Shaun!!! Screaming

Yessss, I just voted for her. I just voted for that little girl who followed former President Jimmy Carter’s every word and action about peace. Yes, I just voted for her! I just voted for EVERYTHING I once dreamed possible. Listen, we will sing my song one day!! I voted for the possibility of a more peaceful, kinder world. A world where people aren’t tolerated but celebrated for their differences. I voted for equality, togetherness, compassion, justice, and humanity. Y’all, I truly believe I will see all of this in my lifetime. Even if it’s only for a moment.

No one believed we would see this day, yet here we are. So, any and everything is possible!

Y’all have a wonderful day! And even if the results aren’t in my favor, I STILL believe!!!♥️

You Brighten The World

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

I’m pretty late today with my first post. Y’all, I actually slept the entire night. Something I seldom do. Believe me, I needed it. Feeling blessed and refreshed.😊

Here’s the post I was working on before I fell asleep.

You are a beautiful, radiant flower. Although one of many, your unique design makes you one of one. Keep showing up in your fullest glory. The world needs the light, love, joy, kindness, and peace you bring.🌸

Keep shining, and keep showing up!

I pray you have a wonderful day!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

My Vision

Shaun Bradford

I had completely forgotten about my second post for today. Been trying to stay present and take in every moment of this conference. I have also been giving everyone I engage with my full attention—from the speakers, to the exhibitors, to the custodians. Everyone deserves to feel heard and seen. I believe it’s one of the first steps in making the world a better place.

I see you.

I hear you.

You matter.

I also had a chance to meet up with one of my fellow Potter’s House e-members. We have been watching and tweeting (yes, still Twitter) during Sunday services for a few years now. I believe we discovered that we were both Registered Dietitians two years or so ago. Well, we finally got to meet in person today! It was good to feel her energy and personality. Although our encounter was very brief, I believe it was one that needed to be had.

Three years ago, I shared the quote above, “Focus on your vision. In time, everything will fall in place.” And it will. I see it happening. From the encounters I’ve had during this conference to the sessions I’ve attended, all are connected to my vision of a healthier, kinder world. To see and feel it is quite amazing.

God is working, and I am staying focused and present so I can experience all of it.♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Happy Sunday! I pray your weekend is going well. Mine has been pretty great so far. I can’t complain.☺️

Today’s Hello Sunday is a reminder that the person people see you as today has been years in the making, even decades. Meaning, you did not become who you are overnight. It’s also a reminder to be gentle, kind, and patient with yourself as God continues—because the process is never ending—to shape and mold you into the person you know you’re meant to be. Remember, who you are today is only a glimpse of who you’re becoming. Smile♥️

Love you,

Shaun
