When You Don’t Quite Fit In

January 2, 2025

When you don’t quite fit in—

Do you shrink?

Do you hide?

Do you change who you are to fit in?

Being different takes courage—often more courage than many of us are willing to muster.

God made each one of us different for a reason. We are like pieces of a puzzle; we weren’t designed to fit someone else’s space. Embrace being different so that you can fulfill your God-given purpose as well as see your dreams come to fruition. The world needs you to show up as you. You need you to show up as YOU!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Keep On Keeping On

Keep going!

God’s got you.

The key is trusting God completely. I know it’s often easier said than done. However, it can be done. As the song says—

“If He did it before, He can do it again. Same God right now. Same God back then.” (Tye Tribbett)

Trust God. He’s got you!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

You Are Loved

It’s said that the first day of the year sets the tone for the rest of the year. So, on today—DAY ONE—I want you to know that you are loved. Not only do I want you to know it, but to feel it. Feel it because it’s true.

YOU are loved.

GOD loves you, and I love you, too!

Praying you have a wonderfully blessed year.♥️

Love you much,

Shaun

A Fresh Start

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” –Ezekiel 36:26

Welcome to a fresh start!

God has given us access to a new heart and new spirit. Let’s embrace both and make 2026 a year to remember!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Don’t Wait! You’re Already There

Good Morning☀️ and Happy Self Love Saturday!🥰

Here’s a Self Love Saturday video I made for TikTok a couple of years ago. I said I could feel myself living in my dreams.

Although we speak as if our dreams are destinations, I believe they’re ongoing stories. It’s our mindset—and let’s be real, our circumstances, too—that tells us our dreams are far off. However, it’s not the dream that we’re waiting for, but the part of the dream we envisioned.

As I said in the video, “I’m already there. I don’t have to wait.” Smiling as I think about how I started doing things I envisioned myself doing when I reached the dream. I stopped waiting for the dream to happen and started living it. Eventually, I’ll see what I envisioned—in God’s time.☺️


Listen, the dream is happening. It’s happening every day from the moment you open your eyes to the time you fall asleep. You are living in your dream(s). You just haven’t reached the part you envisioned.

I dare you to start living like you’re already there. Believe me, you’ll be amazed by how your life changes!


This is it for now. I pray you have a beautiful day! Remember to do something extra special for yourself.♥️

I love you,

Shaun
