I hope you’re well.🌸

I pray you have a fabulous self-love Saturday. May it be filled with love, joy, and blessings.♥️

Shaun
No matter what the day brings, life is so worth living.

Philippians 4:12–13
12. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
13. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
The song I’m hearing as I write is Whitney Houston’s “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.” The song says—
I thought I’d never make it through
I had no hope to hold on to, I
I thought I would break
I didn’t know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn’t know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn’t know my own strength
I thought I’d never find my way
I thought I’d never lift that weight
I thought I would break
I didn’t know my own strength…
Lyrics: LyricFind
You know how sometimes you need a release and don’t know you need one. Well, I guess that time is now because the tears are flowing. I have no idea where they’re coming from. At this moment, I’m exhaling and leaning on God’s strength. I’ve been leaning on my strength for much too long and I’m tired. It’s funny because I hadn’t realized that I was doing it. I thought I was relying on God’s strength, but for a while it’s been mine. Today, I’m letting go. I’m releasing everything into God’s hands. Amen
Whose strength are you relying on? Yours or God’s?
I pray it’s God’s. Rest in Him and let Him be your strength.
I pray you have an exceptionally blessed day. May God grant you peace, love, and joy.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
The quote is true. Grace will take you places hustling can’t. I’m so grateful to be covered by God’s grace. So grateful for the doors God’s grace has opened and is opening.
May God’s grace continue to cover us.
Amen🙏🏽♥️
Shaun
Stay present and alert. Blessings are headed your way!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Whether up or down
Happy or sad
In good times or bad
Sunshine or rain
Healed or in pain
Keep your praises going!
Do not stop. Keep them going!!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️

I wish I knew what I was thinking at that very moment. I wonder if I had caught a glimpse of my future. I was in New Orleans getting ready for Day Two of my culinary experience. Actually, it was a culinary media training where I was being trained to speak in front of a camera while preparing food. Even though I still haven’t done much with the training, it was a great experience, and I met some wonderful people.
I really do love my life.
I didn’t write anything in my journal on that day; however, when I returned home, I wrote:
“New Orleans was definitely a great professional experience. I came back with a sense of worth. I felt like I could actually accomplish my goals. I now have a different outlook on life & my role in this universe. I am destined for greatness & there’s nothing wrong with it. Thank you God for helping me realize my potential.”
Wow! So many gems in that statement. What an interesting, roller coaster ride of an eleven years it has been, and now I’m here. Here in this time and space. What will I do with it?
Well, that’s all for now. I pray you have a great day and wonderfully blessed week.
I love you!♥️
Shaun

How are you?
I hope you’re doing fabulous!🌸
This Facebook memory from three years ago has me smiling.
“YOU are worthy of God’s absolute best. You don’t have to settle for less.”
When I look back over my adulthood, I can list times when I settled for “good enough.” That job was “good enough” because it paid the bills. That relationship was “good enough” because I didn’t have to be alone—but I felt lonely (Whew!). My life was “good enough” because wanting more meant stretching myself and becoming uncomfortable.
I’m smiling because I can see how my life has changed over the past few years, especially since turning 50. That’s when I stopped settling for “good enough” and began striving for THE BEST—the best for ME. Now, my “best” may not be your idea of the best, and that’s okay. For a long time, I made decisions based on what others thought was best for me, leaving me feeling miserable. Y’all, trying to live up to other people’s expectations will drain you mentally as well as physically. Believe me, you breathe a lot easier when you dance to the beat of your own drums. PLUS, I don’t know about you, but God won’t let me settle for less than His best. He just won’t.
Today is the last day of May, which is significant in so many ways. For me, it’s the day that one cycle ends and another begins. Tomorrow, I enter my 52nd birthday month. Praying that God graces me with immeasurable favor and that He blocks every weapon meant to hinder or destroy me or my progression. May He cover me with His love and surround me with His peace and joy. Amen
Repeating my affirmation from three years ago (please feel free to do the same):
“I am worthy. Yes, ME. I am worthy of God’s best.”
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May God’s love and peace surround you and your family.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
“Consistent & Sustainable“ were my focus words for 2020.
Today, the word “consistent” has been on my mind, hence the reason for the image above. I had to see if I had shared anything about it lately and happened to find that screenshot in my photos. Now that I see that the word “sustainable” was added, the message is clear.
Nothing is sustainable without consistency.
Talk about a word!
I hear you, God!♥️
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I hope you’re well.🌸
Last year I wrote, “God’s guidance is strategic. Trust Him and trust His plan.”
God has a purpose and plan for our lives that even we aren’t privileged to know. He only asks that we be obedient and trust Him.
So, that thing He’s been telling you to do—yeah.. you know, that thing—do it! I don’t care how small or insignificant it may seem or how big and challenging it appears—do it. It’s part of God’s plan.
Follow God’s guidance. He knows where He’s taking you. Trust Him.
I pray you have the loveliest of days and a beautiful weekend.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
