Hello Sunday
Here’s a great reminder that we must be mindful of the words we speak. Whatever we speak—positive or negative—will become our reality.
Be Blessed!♥️

The Season of Change
Have you ever had God ask you to do something that you believed was insignificant, so you didn’t? Or, maybe you decided not to do it because you just didn’t want to? Well, yesterday I almost missed the mark with one of my posts. Little did I know, someone needed that particular message.
The Facebook memory I am now sharing was supposed to be my first post for today. I had decided not to share it because I am currently in a season of change, and y’all, some of these changes are difficult to embrace.
Well, while I was thinking about myself, I found out someone actually needed this exact message. They needed to be reminded that change is going to happen. Instead of resisting it, embrace it. There are so many wonderful blessings waiting on the other side. Here is the message–
Facebook Memory: October 21, 2022
Change is inevitable. Y’all, it’s going to happen. And even though God is omnipotent, it’s hard for Him to work if we are not willing to change. So instead of resisting it, embrace it!
Yesss… Embrace the change and watch God work!♥️
From here on, I will try to be more obedient (I’m still human). I have to accept that it’s not about me, it’s about what God is doing through me.
That’s it for today; unless I have the urge to share something else. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Love you!♥️

THIS is Year50.
Joy is Always Present
If you have lived long enough to really experience life, you’ll know that life isn’t all flowers. Nope. Sometimes it’s pretty thorny. Whether you are among flowers or thorns, joy is always present – it’s inside of you.♥️ ~ Shaun
I Am in Repair
“I’m in repair.” Those were the words Nicole Avant used during the first few minutes of her conversation with Jay Shetty. Y’all, that simple statement made me burst into tears because I am in repair. Yes… me!
While I was crying, I began thinking about every negative experience I had gone through. Every disappointment, heartache, loss and hurt. The feelings of grief, abandonment, neglect, unworthiness, and betrayal. Every negative thing that I had emotionally detached myself from so that I wouldn’t feel the pain, came flooding back. When I tell you I bawled!
At the end of their conversation they actually revisited the topic of being in repair, and Nicole mentioned crying. That crying was good. My 8th grade Spanish teacher used to say crying cleanses the soul. They’re both right. I needed to cry and may need to shed a few more tear.
Y’all, I am so very grateful God loves me. He always gives me exactly what I need when I need it. There was a segment during the interview where Nicole mentioned pruning a bush or tree and how it didn’t look so good afterwards; however, when spring came, it was beautiful. I’ve said it before, I know I am being pruned. It doesn’t feel good but I know the results will be beautiful.
Here’s the link to Jay Shetty’s conversation with Nicole Avant – Nicole Avant On The Hardest Day of Her Life.
I loved Nicole’s energy! So positive. So full of life. And y’all, she also believes we are all connected. This made me smile. Can’t wait to read her book, “Think You’ll Be Happy: Moving Through Grief with Grit, Grace and Gratitude.”
Y’all, God is good. I am truly, truly blessed and loved.♥️

The Answer is “Wait”
Facebook Memory: October 20, 2022
One of the EASIEST things to do is repeat past mistakes because of impatience. One of the HARDEST things to do is wait because nothing seems to be happening. Today, I encourage you to WAIT!
Wishing you a fabulous Friday and lovely weekend! Love you!♥️

It’s Still Possible
Nine years ago, I had the opportunity to meet someone I had long admired, Dr. David Satcher, former Surgeon General of the United States. I was on cloud nine. At one point in time, I wanted to be the Surgeon General of the United States. Interesting, huh?
This is why I revisit my Facebook memories every day. They remind me of my goals and dreams and so many wonderful moments. That picture reminds me that any and everything is possible. I can still be who I desire to be and achieve any dream imaginable. During that same week, I met chefs Leah Chase and Marcus Samuelsson.
Y’all, I was so excited to meet Dr. Satcher. I’m pretty sure he thought I was a fan of his because of his looks or something. Nah.. I was a fan of his work. At the time, I saw myself doing the exact same thing or something similar. I was like, if he could do it, then so could I. I just had to touch where I wanted to be. Y’all, I was on my way there! I was so close.
I may not be able to recreate that same atmosphere but I can tap back into that mindset. It’s not gone. It’s still here. I needed to see this today. God is so good. I keep telling y’all He loves me. I know He’s going to make sure I get to where I am going.
On another note, both of my shows are back!! Tyler Perry’s The Oval and Sistas did not disappoint! Tuesday, I did okay. Wednesday… Wednesday, I really wanted to jump back into chat mode but I didn’t. I did good. Someone I met in the We Are Sistas group said they would chat with me after the shows so that’s worked. I’m going to be alright.
Looking forward to seeing where this next half of my life takes me. ONLY expecting, claiming, and accepting great things!
Hello Year50!♥️

Keep Striving
Facebook Memory: October 18, 2022
Things will happen in life that will make you question whether pursuing your dreams, goals and purpose is even worth it. Guess what? It is! As long as you’re breathing, keep striving for the desires of your heart. DON’T GIVE UP!♥️ ~ Shaun
I am Worthy
Just finished watching Jada Pinkett Smith’s interview with Jay Shetty. Y’all, I get her. I feel her. Such a wonderful interview!! I love it when I find someone who sees life as I do. Can’t wait to read Worthy.
Smiling.
Growing in grace.
Authentically me.
Living in my truth.
Loving myself unconditionally.
Loving every moment of this beautiful journey called life.
Allowing God to lead me wherever He’s pleases because I know as long as He’s with me my life will be absolutely amazing!
Y’all, THIS is my Year 50!
Good Night♥️
