Focus On Your Garden

Shaun Bradford

Focus on your garden. You have sown your seeds. Now, they’re beginning to sprout and grow beautifully. Water and nurture them; weed and prune when necessary. Be careful not to become distracted by your neighbor’s garden, its beauty, or its lack thereof. That’s theirs to tend to. Stay focused on your own.

Smile.

Your garden is growing!🌸🌺🌷🌹

I love you much,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 94

Shaun Bradford

I don’t even know where to begin with this one. Hmmm… Here’s what I shared three years ago.

“Forever in awe of the power of manifestation. Don’t just think it. Write it down. Verbalize it. See it. Feel it. Walk in it. If you want it, manifest it!”

I wrote that at the height or tail end of the manifestation hype. Everyone was either walking in things they “manifested” or they were “manifesting” things. When I think about it, it was similar to the hype surrounding the Prayer of Jabez in the early 2000s. Back then, everyone was praying for God to “bless them, indeed,” and enlarge their territory. Even I was praying the prayer. And guess what? God enlarged my territory. I went from studying to become a chef to becoming a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN). Who knew?! I didn’t even know dietitians existed. Side note: Nothing against chefs because culinary and food are my first loves, but becoming a RDN opened doors and connected me to a world that was more aligned with my vision and lifelong dreams of helping others.

Manifestation…

I’m not sure when I began hearing about the power of manifestation. I believe it was during a period when I was first becoming active on Twitter/X (around 2014). Several weeks ago, I saw an article written by a lawyer I met on Twitter around that same time, 2014/2015. I hadn’t seen her name in ages. We were asked by another person we met on Twitter to help them form a nonprofit. Just thinking about it makes me smile because I can see where everything is connected to where I am today. I’m not quite sure what I manifested ten years ago; however, I do know I’m walking in what I manifested three to five years ago, and I’m watching it evolve. Smiling.

Oh, the power of being present and recognizing that I am already moving and living within my manifestations. Thank You, God, for not letting me miss this moment. I don’t have to wait another ten years, or read past journal entries, to realize I’m already in it.

I am truly, truly blessed!🥰

**P.S. Have a wonderfully blessed day and week. I love you!♥️

Who Are You?

Shaun Bradford

When was the last time you took a moment to ask yourself, “Who am I?”. I recently attended an event, and that was one of the questions. Who are you outside of your relationships with others? Who are you outside of your career? Who are you outside of social media? Who are you when no one else is around? What are your innermost dreams and ambitions, or your deepest hurts and fears—you know, the ones only you and God know about? Who are you?

Once you discover who you truly are, embrace and nurture the attributes that bring out the best in you and heal the parts that need healing so you can become the best version of yourself.

God has so many blessings waiting for the true you. Discover who you are!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

I’m There

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

I shared the following on May 12, 2022—

Thank You, Lord for hearing my prayers and making this side of 50 different. Amen

That was God’s word to me three years ago, which I so graciously shared with you. Smile. You’ll never get to where you want to be if you can’t see or feel yourself there. It’s all about mindset.

Same questions as before:

– Can you see yourself there?

– Can you feel yourself there?

– Are you already there?

Me, I’m already there.

I’m there (here), fully immersed in and experiencing it all.

Y’all, God is so good! When I think about where my life and mindset were three years ago compared to where they are now, all I can do is praise God. I’m so thankful that He never gave up on me. So grateful that He kept nudging me forward when I felt like giving up and when I wanted to settle. I am so very blessed.

I pray you have an exceptionally wonderful week. Remember to keep God first and keep shining!✨♥️

I love you always,

Shaun
