My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Good Morning! Not sure if you realize this but every day you’re changing. You’re not the same person you were a decade ago, a year, not even a month ago. No, you are evolving and growing. You’re becoming that person God created you to be. So, whenever you feel like life is at a standstill or isn’t going as planned, remember where you used to be compared to where you are now. You’re so much stronger and wiser, and it’s beautiful.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Singing, “Restoration has finally come. I’ve been restored back to my place in God.”
Been singing the Winans’ song, “Restoration,” off and on since I woke up this morning. Y’all, God is in the process of restoring everything we lost and adding more. How wonderful is that!
Praying you have a blessed and peaceful night.♥️
Good Night,
Shaun
It’s hot, humid, and rain’s in the forecast, but I’m here. It’s after 10:00 AM on a Thursday morning and I’m living my dream—doing things on my term. No one to answer to but myself. Don’t know what took me so long.
Forever grateful.🙏🏽
Beyond Blessed♥️

Good Morning! Today’s post is a screenshot of notes I took on September 5, 2022 while watching an episode of Laurie Crouch’s “Better Together” podcast. Unfortunately, I didn’t include a link (probably should start) or the title. However, I did include who said what so you might be able to find this particular episode if you’d like to watch it.
Notes from September 5, 2022
I wrote those notes two years ago. Today (literally), I’m serving. I’ve been working with a nonprofit organization helping them prepare for their charity day event (coincides with the International Day of Charity) which is happening in a few hours. Y’all, I have been serving, and God has been building. Forever grateful and beyond blessed.🥰
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. I pray you have a wonderfully, beautiful day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Hello! It’s after midnight and I am wide awake. Fell asleep around 8 PM, now I’m up. Here’s a memory worth sharing. The reason I titled this post “Worth the Risk” is because pursuing dreams comes with all kinds of risks. The question is, are your dreams worth the risks? The risk of failure. The risks of disappointments, setbacks, heartbreaks, loss, etc. My answer is, “Yes!”. Yes, because there’s always the possibility of success, blessings, happiness, growth, abundance, and all good things.
I love the last statement in the post below, “Even if you lose, you just can’t lose.” That’s God.
Never give up on your dreams. Believe me, they are worth the risks. Remain optimistic. They will happen and be better than you ever imagined. Love you!♥️

Stay present or you’ll miss the new thing God is doing. Yesterday is gone, and sadly, tomorrow isn’t promised. So all we have is today.
I wholeheartedly believe there’s something beautiful and new attached to each day. If you are not careful, you’ll miss it. Love you!♥️ ~ Shaun
Good Morning! Smiling right now because I had planned on sharing the Facebook memory below, but this song keeps blaring over and over in my head. Yes, blaring! Laughing. So, I guess I’ll share both.
The song is “Love Isn’t Love” by Commissioned. It says, “Love isn’t love til you’ve given it away. It’s just waiting to be given. All bitterness erased.” That’s the part that’s stuck on repeat. Now it’s out. I pray whoever needs the message receives it. Smile. Now here’s today’s Facebook memory.
Facebook Memory: September 4, 2023
“When you’re ready to do it, you will do it. You won’t need motivation. The conditions won’t have to be right. You won’t have to have the money. Shoot… fear won’t even stop you. When you’re ready to make your move, you’ll make it, and everything else will fall into place.🤷🏽♀️”
All true. When you make up your mind to do something, you’ll just do it. It’s really that simple. It’s funny how we go back and forth with ourselves worried about what will and won’t work, and then one day, out of the blue, we just do it. I’m laying here thinking about so many things I was hesitant to do—some out of fear, others because I didn’t believe I was capable of doing—and then one day I just woke up and did them. Life is truly amazing.
Well, that’s it for now. I pray you have a wonderful day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Also, I’ll leave you with Commissioned’s song, “Love Isn’t Love.” Be Blessed
We were created to magnify God’s glory. Meaning others should see, hear, and feel Him through our words and actions.♥️
Side Note: Can’t you hear the gospel duo, Mary, Mary, singing, “God In Me”? Well, I can. Smile
I hope this past weekend left you well rested and ready to tackle this week. Please remember to take breaks when needed. Listen, there’s only ONE you, and you matter more than whatever you are working on. Love you!♥️

Good Morning! When was the last time you publicly celebrated your achievements? Is it something you find easy to do? Asking because I have always found it difficult, until recently. Now, I celebrate even the smallest of successes.
I wish I could say that after I shared my post five years ago (see second screenshot below) that I began publicly acknowledging my achievements, but it didn’t. It took me years to finally become comfortable enough to share even a few. As you will read in my post below, I didn’t even tell anyone about my role as the president of our state’s dietetics association (2016-2017). When I tell you it felt like I was leading two separate lives. And to be honest, I guess I was. I didn’t know how to be Shaun and LaShaundrea. I believe I’ve written about this before. It took me years to find a happy medium between the two, which didn’t actually happen until Year50.
Anyhoo, today things are different. I am not hiding anymore and I am celebrating all my achievements. I mean, how can I fully represent God if I continue to downplay the magnitude of His greatness in my life? Y’all, He’s been too good to me. As I have said many times before, I am beyond blessed.🥰 ~Shaun

Gift yourself grace. You’re human. Plus, God’s already given you His. Love you!♥️
