Note To Self

From 2020–2021, I volunteered as a registered dietitian for the nonprofit Peace & Pearls Single Parent Support Network, Inc. I also created motivational messages/graphics for their social media platforms. As you can see, I shared this particular message on March 31, 2021. The messages were not only for the parents but they were also for me.🥰

Setbacks will happen. They are a part of life. But so are comebacks!

You got this!!♥️

Love you,

My Journey With God, No. 80

When I tell you God KNOWS just what we need when we need it! I needed this message below to kick off today’s celebration.🎉

“Leave No Crumbs” by Sarah Jakes Roberts

Thank you, SJR!

Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts’ (SJR) words reminded me that I’m not who I used to be. I’m no longer the person I was ten years ago, not even a year ago (yeah…my life is transitioning fast). As she suggested in her message, the self-preservation method I was using before is no longer effective for where God is taking me. It’s time for me to let it go, stop resisting the change, and embrace the newest version of myself so I can move forward. I’ve been feeling this a lot lately. I just needed to hear it, and hear it clearly.

I’m listening, God! I’m ready for where you’re taking me!

Forever grateful and beyond blessed to experience and reside in God’s love.♥️

Lord, Guide Me

Good Morning☀️

Ten years ago, I ended my journal entry with, “Lord, please guide me.”

Ten years ago, my entire world changed. During the final days of March 2015, I experienced my greatest heartbreak but also my greatest relief. My ex-husband had finally moved out. That was the relief. However, the greatest heartbreak came from those I always thought would have my back but instead turned their backs on me.

Y’all, it’s been a very long ten years. Not only did I have to rebuild a life for me and my two (my hearts and rocks!), but I had to rebuild relationships. I’m not going to go into details, but just know that when I say I made it, believe me—I MADE IT!!!

I am forever indebted to God. I know I wouldn’t be here had it not been for Him. I am so grateful for His love, mercy, grace, kindness, patience and GUIDANCE. I asked for His guidance, and He answered.

Today, I’m celebrating.

Yes, I’m celebrating!

I made it!!🎉


Thank you so much for your love and continued support. I pray you have a beautifully, blessed day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 78

For the past two days I have been seeing and hearing the message—“Be still.”

Honestly, I didn’t think that I was moving at all. I’ve been feeling like I haven’t been moving or doing enough. You know how you get the feeling that you should be further along than you are, the feeling of being behind? Well, that’s exactly what I’ve been feeling lately.

A few minutes ago, I revisited my Facebook memories and found the same message tucked away within another message. Earlier, I only noticed “Finding Balance.” However, this time, I noticed the hashtag “Be Still.”

Being obedient.

I’m listening, God.🙏🏽

Love, AGAIN?!

HAAAA!!

NOPE.

I believe I have written enough about love. I’m just going to let it flow freely from me to you. May you feel it through every post I make. Feel it. Receive it. Then, pass it along. Just know that I really do love you, though.🥰

Here’s a find from my saved photos. As always, I’m not sure why I take pictures of random things, but they always make me smile whenever I come across them. This one definitely made me smile. The 80’s. MTV. Cyndi Lauper. Love (yeah… there’s no way around it🤷🏽‍♀️😌).

Welcome to my world!

Gotta love life.♥️

Love you,

Love… How Much Is Too Much?

Good Morning☀️ How much love is too much love? Hmmm…

Here’s a memory from March 24, 2024.

Know That You Are Loved” by Cleo Sol (March 24, 2024)

It seems like love has been my theme for the last few days, maybe weeks. Since I would like to see more of it in the world, I’m spreading it every chance I get. I want you…yes, YOU—to always know that you are loved. I never want you to doubt that you are.

Sooo… How much love is too much?

When love is pure and genuine, it just flows. It has no limits.

Love…

Allow it to flow to you, through you, and from you. Receive it and give it.

That’s all I have for now. I pray you have a wonderfully blessed week.♥️

I love you,

Shaun
