My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Isaiah 42:16
I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.
I am following God’s lead. I’m not sure where He’s taking me; however, I trust Him to “turn the darkness into light” and “make the rough places smooth.” I know He will be with me every step of this journey.
I trust, You, Lord.♥️

These last few weeks, I have been sitting in God’s presence and watching Him work—not through social media, but in my life and through the lives of those around me. Y’all, I am forever in awe of His goodness, kindness, grace, and love. I am blessed. We are blessed.♥️

Found the following in one of my journal entries from 2015. I wrote that it was a Facebook post I had made in 2008.
“I’m here! God made me the person I am. However, the person I am today will not be the person I am tomorrow. God is so wonderful that He allows us to grow each day. I know that in everyday ahead of me there will be learning experiences and teachable moments. Can’t say it enough, God is awesome!”
That was 17 years ago!
Today, I’m saying the same—I’m here, and God made me the person I am. And I absolutely LOVE who He created.🥰
Thank You, Lord, for loving me. You are an AMAZING God.♥️

This morning, I’m so very thankful and grateful I am not in the same space I was six years ago. On April 11, 2019, I reclaimed my life by sharing my fears with the world. Before then, the only ones who knew, and I feel cared, were my two hearts. When I tried to share my fears and concerns with other close family, I was told I was overreacting. That the fear was all in my head. I’ve said this many times before, when I say I’m so grateful to still be here, believe me, I’m grateful to still be here. Y’all, God is so good, merciful, and gracious. Here’s the mental and emotional space I was in six years ago.
April 11, 2019
That day, I stopped living and moving in fear. A little over a month later, my ex finally signed the divorce papers. Although I felt somewhat free, it wasn’t until a week before my 46th birthday, when the judge signed my papers, that I knew I was actually free.
When someone tells you they are afraid, believe them. I don’t care how nice or good you may believe someone to be, believe the person who is afraid. They’re not overreacting. My ex did not want to let me go. We had been separated and going through the divorce process for over four years and he was still texting me saying I would always be his wife (kept the communication open because my son was still a minor). It was a very scary situation to be in. Again, I am so grateful I am still here. I’m so grateful I’ve been able to watch my babies become thriving adults. Y’all, I do not take my life for granted at all.
I’m still here!

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,

Good Morning☀️ It’s Self-love Saturday and I decided to sleep in.😌 I hope you decided to do the same.💕
Here’s what I wrote six years ago—
When I tell you this Facebook memory is so timely! Although it’s been six years, I feel it more than ever today. You see, next Saturday, I will be attending our state’s annual dietetics conference, where I will be introduced as the incoming president for 2025–2026.
Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel at the moment. Seems like I have been going nonstop since taking on the role of president-elect. So much has changed since I was last president (2016–2017), and even more is changing now that our government is moving in a different direction. We are a nonpartisan organization and have to move as such. Meaning, my personal feelings and opinions have to take a backseat during this ride. It’s a lot, but I’m up for the challenge. As I have asked myself so many times throughout my adult life, “How did I get here?” Laughing. My life and its adventures. As Mario from Mario Bros. would say, “Here we go!”
Honestly, who would have thought I wasn’t done with this part of my life? If I didn’t know it then, I can certainly say it now, this role is a significant part of my dream and future endeavors. I’m not sure where God is taking me—ONLY He knows—but I’m here for it!♥️
Stay tuned…

I can’t believe it’s been nine years since I went to see The PASSION Live!
Y’all, how it happened was how so many things have happened in my life. I have a random wish—“I wish I could…”—and it happens. A few days before I went to the event, I saw something on Twitter about it happening in New Orleans—which is basically down the highway from me. At that moment, I thought, “I wish I could go see it.” Not lying… not even a day later, I saw that free tickets were available, and I got one! The rest is history! It was an awesome experience, but it was SO COLD that day.🥶
Wonderful memory!♥️

I decided to make this “My Journey With God, No. 73” because I was born in 1973. Plus, I accept this message. It was written just for me.🥰
My potential self is infinite. Looking forward to becoming everything God’s created me to be.♥️
Beyond Blessed,

During the president-elect training, we were reminded more times than I can count to remember our ‘Why.’ Moments ago, I found a similar message in my Facebook memories. Last year, my cousin shared the message, “It’s time to revisit your ‘Why’.” She urged us to reassess the ‘Why’ behind our God–given dreams, plans, projects, and goals.
Guess what I’m doing today?!
You guessed it!
I’m taking time to remember/revisit my ‘Why.’
Here’s the link to Joy’s message. I pray that it blesses you as much as it has me.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
“Little girls with dreams become women with vision.”
I’m feeling this quote this morning.
My little girl dreams have inspired my grown woman (yes, I’m grown!) vision.
Loving this space I’m in.♥️
