Shared this on this date two years ago (November 15, 2021). At the time, I was really struggling with feeling worthy. I kept saying I was worthy of God’s best, but didn’t necessarily believe it; or rather, I believed it in certain aspects of my life. In other areas, I still felt I needed others’ approval to be deemed worthy.
When I tell y’all I am so grateful for God’s love, grace and patience. Over and over, He kept showing me that I was worthy of everything imaginable, but I couldn’t see it.
Then Year50 hit! Baby, when I said I refused to spend the next 50+ years like I had the last 50, something changed. It was like God said, “I can work with this!” I am so grateful He did not give up on me. Now, I don’t care who doesn’t approve of what I do or how I do it. This is my life, and I only have one. I’m finally living in my truth and I am loving every minute of it. God says I’m worthy and free to do so, so guess what—I’m doing it!
Loving and living life my way.♥️
This is my Year50

A few years ago, I shared this quote – “Fear is only temporary. Regret lasts forever.” I’m not sure if regret lasts forever; however, I do know fear is only temporary.
Your vision is clear. Don’t allow fear to stop you from fulfilling your purpose. Do it afraid!♥️

Lately, my messages from last year have been much needed messages for today. Seems like whatever I post in the morning is needed sometime during the same day. I guess it’s God’s way of preparing me for what’s to come. Today’s message is, “Do it afraid.” Well, whatever “it” is, I am going to do it. Yep…I am going to do it afraid. Whew!! Gotta remember God’s got me.
I pray you have a wonderful Wednesday. Listen, take that leap that frightens you the most. God’s got you. He will not let you fail.
Be Blessed!♥️

Have you ever settled because you were too anxious to wait? OR…because you believed that what you were offered was the best you could get? You know– “You better take what you can get.”
Nah! NEVER settle for less than what you desire. Believe me, you’re worth it and more!♥️

On another note…
TODAY IS MY BESTIES’ 50TH BIRTHDAY!!!!
Y’all, we have been friends since we were toddlers (2-3 years old). We also share the same name (Shaun & Shawn). How wild is that, especially since I was born in Mississippi and she was born in Chicago. Our mothers were never friends. We met through our grandparents who were neighbors. Most of our lives we lived in different places. I was always between Mississippi and Kansas and she was everywhere—Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee and Mississippi. Although we rarely saw each other outside of summer vacations, we kept in touch through letters. I am so grateful and blessed to have her in my life.

This morning I am sending up prayers for every single soul on this planet. Yes… Every. Single. Soul. Y’all, I wonder what would happen if we prayed for souls instead of people. In my opinion, praying for people in general can be a bit complicated because we tend to see faces when we pray. I believe this leads to biases and causes us to alter our prayers, or even skip a few people. However, when we pray for souls we are less likely to tailor our prayers. Just a thought.

On the subject of prayer…
This morning, I came across a random name I had written in a journal entry on this date. It was the name of a young man I did not know. However, I wrote in my journal that I had to remember him and his name. He had passed away from AIDS-induced pneumonia. From what I had written, I had been following his story for a few weeks. Y’all, I looked him up after I read that entry and still have no idea who he was, but I had been praying for him. I won’t mention his name; however, as promised, I am remembering him today, as well as praying for his family and friends.
Y’all, prayer doesn’t cost a thing. Nothing. Let’s keep every single soul uplifted in prayer.
Love you!♥️
Shaun
I believe I will make the following Facebook memory my screensaver. I am finishing up two papers that are due by the end of the day, and I need the encouragement.

YOU were born to WIN! I love you and God loves you too. Have a blessed day!♥️

On another note, so many exciting things are happening this week! Besides this being the final day of this term (Woohoo!), two of my besties are turning 50 this week. One has a birthday tomorrow, November 13th, and the other on Tuesday, November 14th (friends since age 2 –♥️). Then on Friday, November 17th, a documentary about my fave (added the “e” for those who cringe when I write “fav”), Mr. Tyler Perry, will premiere on Amazon Prime Video – Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story. Woohoo!
This is going to be some week!♥️
