The Beginning Of Something New

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

This particular Facebook memory from a year ago marked the beginning of something new. I was finally fully releasing the old—everything on the other side of 50—and welcoming the new. It was my Jubilee year and I was adamant about things on this side of 50 being different, being new.

Facebook Memory: September 17, 2023

I believe! Do you?!🌟
I love watching God work. He’s so amazing!♥️

I had created a short clip with the two images. This was the first new look on this side of 50—so vibrant and new!

As I mentioned, it was my Jubilee (50th) year. Not only did I want things to be different and new, I needed them to be. I had lost my mom a little over a month before my birthday (she passed that May, a few days before Mother’s Day), and life was kind of weird. That’s the only way I can explain it. Not only was I celebrating my 50th birthday year, but I was also mourning the loss of my mom while attempting to celebrate life. What a time that was! I tried to make it as exciting as I could. However, as I said throughout that year, it wasn’t the year I had imagined or expected, but it was definitely the year I needed. Yeah… I needed it. I can’t say it enough, I’m beyond blessed.🙏🏽

Well, that’s all I have for now. Wishing you an amazing day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Push

Shaun Bradford

Push yourself beyond your limits. Each day push a little more. Even if it’s only an inch at a time, keep pushing. Push until you achieve your dreams and goals, then push even more. There are blessings waiting for you!

As the saying goes:

Pray

Until

Something

Happens

Then continue praying.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Leap, You Won’t Regret It

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning! For the past few years, I’ve been sharing the same message on September 16th—Take the leap!

This past weekend we celebrated one of my sister-friends’ big leap. It was a leap she had been toying with for years, and Friday she did it! We’re so proud of her. It’s her time to shine!

Here’s what I shared last year.

Facebook Memory: September 16, 2023

“How badly do you want it?! Listen, take that leap and go after it! Remember, you only have ONE life.”

In 2021, I wrote, “Take the leap. Then, keep leaping.”

Listen, taking major leaps takes courage. Not only do you have to deal with fear, but you have to be mentally prepared. From my experience, the decision to leap usually happens when what you want—the “how badly do you want it?”—outweighs your fear. It’s in that moment that you ask yourself “What do I have to lose?”, and you leap. I’m not going to lie, it’s an amazing feeling, almost euphoric. As I told my friend, bask in that feeling. Give yourself time to soak it all in. Then, give yourself grace and time to adjust. Because, believe me, when reality sets in, it sets in! That’s when you exhale and allow life to flow.

Thinking back to all the major leaps I’ve taken in life, I have yet to regret one. Every last one was necessary. I wouldn’t be where I am or who I am today had I not leaped. Y’all, God is so good.

That’s it for now. I pray you have a wonderful day and week. May they be filled with love, peace, joy and blessings.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Happy Sunday! I pray your weekend has been great and today is just as wonderful.

So, here’s today’s Facebook memory. I screenshot it to capture the hashtags. The one that stood out most was “It’s Soul Deep.”

“Genuine happiness is when your soul is at peace—it’s soul deep.” I felt that.

As you can see, I was heavy with the hashtags. Smile. Which one resonated with you?

Well, that’s all for now. Again, have a wonderful day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Prayer

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!

Remaining obedient while allowing God to lead.🙏🏽

That was my prayer nine years ago. Today, it’s pretty much the same—for God to use me as He sees fit. Now, I’m not going to lie, it’s not always easy to do. I do struggle. However, I do know His promises and my purpose are great, and there’s so much more for me to do and achieve during this lifetime. I will not allow fear, doubt, or the complexities of life stop me from having or achieving everything God has for me. As I said then, I know I can do ALL things when He’s involved.

I pray you have a beautiful weekend.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Your Story’s Not Over

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!

Last year I shared the following on Facebook:

“It’s YOUR story.
Keep writing!♥️”

Shared on September 13, 2023.

Well, the same message applies today. Keep writing because your story is far from over. As long as you have breath in your body, there’s more to be written.

So, keep writing!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun
