Becoming ME

A couple of months ago, fellow blogger Wynne Leon (Surprised by Joy) shared the following quote of questions—

“Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone’s face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions.” – Henri Nouwen

On that day, I saved it in my notes and have asked myself these questions almost daily. They help me stay aligned with my values, vision, purpose, and legacy. As I move through life, I want to become everything I want to see in the world. I want to become that harmony that I’m seeking. Maybe I sound a bit delusional or naive, but I believe I can become everything I set out to be. Charge it to the little girl within me who dreamed of a world filled with love, peace, joy, and kindness.😌

I’m becoming ME.

This side of 50 is definitely different, and I’m loving the space I’m in. God is good.

Beyond Blessed♥️

The PASSION

I can’t believe it’s been nine years since I went to see The PASSION Live!

Seems like it was only a few years ago, not almost ten. Wow!

Y’all, how it happened was how so many things have happened in my life. I have a random wish—“I wish I could…”—and it happens. A few days before I went to the event, I saw something on Twitter about it happening in New Orleans—which is basically down the highway from me. At that moment, I thought, “I wish I could go see it.” Not lying… not even a day later, I saw that free tickets were available, and I got one! The rest is history! It was an awesome experience, but it was SO COLD that day.🥶

Wonderful memory!♥️

My Journey With God, No. 76

Good Morning☀️

Slowly but surely, everything is coming together. Last week, someone contacted me about doing a nutrition presentation for their church. Without hesitation, I said “Yes,” and yesterday evening, I did it.

It may not seem like a big deal, but to me, it is. You see, I did it under my nonprofit, which took me over three years to launch. I kept trying to wait until everything was perfect and in place. Then, several months ago, I introduced it to the public. Right now, my main focus is on promoting it whenever I can. As I’ve said before, it’s my baby.

Y’all, God is so good. I can’t stress it enough—I’m truly blessed.♥️

I am forever grateful for God’s love. For the way that He loves me. There’s nothing like it. I am truly blessed.♥️

I pray you have a restful night🙏🏽

I love you much,

Good Night (42)

Today was one long day.

I’m exhausted.

Exhausted, but blessed.

Always blessed.

Ending the night with—

“I trust You, Lord.”


I pray you have a peaceful night. Talk to you in the morning.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
