Welcome to Freedom Fridays!
What are you releasing today?
Me… Limits! I’m releasing the limits I’ve placed on myself and the ones I have placed on God.
How about you?🤍 ~Shaun

Tiny Successes
Facebook Memory: December 20, 2021
I believe successes are just like blessings; no matter the size, each should be acknowledged and celebrated.
Each success means that you are one step closer to achieving your dreams. I know the tiny ones may feel like drops in a huge bucket that seem impossible to fill. Believe me, I am right there with you. However, I also believe that one day, that bucket will overflow with success. You just have to keep filling it. You must stop looking at the size of the bucket—it’s a distraction. Instead, lean into the size of your God. With Him, what might be considered a tiny success could be enough to fill that one bucket, then some. But the only way you’ll know is if you keep going and keep adding to the bucket—adding to your dreams.
Please, do not give up. Keep going. The impossible is possible with God.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
P.S. I’m ditching my posting schedule. It’s way too limiting. I have too much to share in between scheduled times that never gets posted. As I have said before, some people make videos, I write. Looking forward to sharing more!
Hmmm… I think I just reached another level of freedom.
Welcome to my world!😘
Absolute Peace
Good Morning!☀️
1 Kings 5:4 – But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side, and there is no adversary or disaster.
Only God can give absolute peace. Not only does He have the power to calm our hearts and minds, but he also has the power to calm everything around us. Rest in Him, knowing that He has everything under control.
Everything…♥️
Love you,

Almost 30 Years, Part 2
Last week around this time, I was headed to visit my daughter. It feels so wild to have a child that’s almost 30. As I wrote in Almost 30 Years, she’s been through it all with me. Words can’t even begin to describe how grateful I am that God gave her to me.
I decided to take a real trip down memory lane this morning, a 30 year trip. I didn’t write anything on this day 30 years ago (December 19, 1994), but I wrote something two days before. Here’s what I wrote. Hope you can read it.
December 17, 1994— My baby journal
I had no idea if I was having a girl or boy so I always referred to them as “Honey” and “Sweetie.”
From where I was then, to where I am 30 years later, I am so very blessed.♥️

The Trade
Good Morning!☀️
I’m not sure if this new routine of getting more sleep is going to work. I feel like I’ve gotten too much sleep. It’s new so I will allow myself time to adjust. The real test will be how I perform throughout the day. Will I need to take a nap this afternoon or not?
Anyhoo, here’s a message I found in last year’s journal entry. I wrote I found it on LinkedIn.
The LinkedIn quote—
“Your new life is going to cost you your old life. You ready to make that trade?” –Author Unknown
The cost.
There’s always a cost associated with change.
When I declared that this side of 50 would be different than my last 50 years of life, I had no idea of what it would cost me. On some days I feel like I have lost so much more than I’ve gained. My life isn’t the same. (Just being honest.) Then, on other days—most days—when I’m working on my own projects or spending time with my loves (which is what I really wanted—the freedom to move and spend time as I please), I’m on cloud nine. But it did cost me.
Yes, I made the trade because I desired something different. I wanted to experience something different. I’m only a year and a half into it so it’s very new. I know that in time I will adjust and one day the things I lost will feel like a gain. Giving myself time, grace, and space to process it all.
That’s all for now. Not sure if 6:00 AM CT will be my new post time or not. We shall see. I did wake up around 3:30, but forced myself to go back to sleep. This is another thing I will eventually adjust to. I know in the long run it’s for the best.
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Making Memories
Shaun’s Journal Entry: December 18, 2021
“There is no such thing as perfect timing. Make memories now.”
I selected the song “Good Memories” by Cochren & Co. to accompany the image above. It’s a lovely song that brings back so many sweet memories. I hope it brightens your day as it has mine.♥️ ~Shaun
Here’s the song’s video.
