Hello Sunday

Happy Sunday!

Rather, Happy Self-Care Sunday!

Today is the last Sunday of my birthday month, and I’ve decided to relax a little more than usual. Not in a rush to do anything. Today, I’m taking it easy and going with the flow.


This morning, I took my time reading through my Facebook memories. Here are a few random memories that made me smile. I’ll start with June 29, 2019.

June of 2019 was a pivotal month for me. It was the month my divorce was finalized. It wasn’t until my birthday, maybe a couple of days afterwards, that I celebrated being FREE. That year’s theme was “46 and Free🦋.” I had waited so long for it to happen—years. And then, I was free.

This was a second chance at life. One that I didn’t take lightly. A decision I am still grateful I made.🦋
This was me celebrating my newfound freedom. Enjoying the water and good food.
This is a picture of my babies using my location to pull up on me. I was so surprised.😂 I just love them.🥰🥰

Maybe I’ll take a ride down to the coast. That’s if I can let this bed go.☺️

Here are a few more memories from June 29th.

The flowers, the pinks, the gold, the look, the quote—all made me smile. I’m forever a princess at heart. Even when I’m ninety, I’ll be a princess.🌸💗☺️

Ralph T, Rizz, Rizzo! The New Edition king that’s often slept on. Johnny Gill is usually my go-to; however, for some reason, on that day, I decided to listen to Ralph. Yep… this memory made me smile. NE4Life✨

Yes, I’m God’s vessel. His glory radiates through and from me.☺️✨

Great memories!

Favor, overflow, and grace. This is Year52.🎉


I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love, peace, joy, and laughter.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Peace comes with patience.

Be patient.♥️

Stop And Look

Take a moment to stop and look at how far you’ve come! Did you ever imagine you’d reach these heights? And guess what?! God has even more in store!

Keep going!!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Residing in favor, overflow, and grace. God is so good!

Being Present And At Peace

One of my themes for my fiftieth birthday year was, “Present and At Peace.” I shared the following on this day in 2023—

That was two years ago. Here’s what I’ve discovered since—

Yes, this is peace.♥️

Love you,

I Am Creating My Happiness

June 26, 2021

Four years ago, I wrote—

“I am the creator of my own happiness.”

Smiling because I am.☺️


Time is passing swiftly. Please don’t wait for the perfect moment to be happy. Be happy NOW! Take time to create your happy moment, NOW.♥️

I love you,

God’s Hugs and Kisses

Good Morning!☀️

I pray you’re doing well.🌸

I slept in this morning. Then, just as I was about to reprimand myself for slacking, God reminded me of His gift—His peace and blessings. This is the life He’s blessed me with. He’s given me this time and space to move as I please—time to shamelessly focus on me and only me.

And you are. YOU, my friend, are blessed.

As I mentioned last year, God’s blessings are like His hugs and kisses reminding us that we are His children. And I am taking it all in. I’m surrounding myself with His love, peace, and blessings.

I needed the extra sleep. I needed to wake up to the sunlight, not before it appeared. Usually, I would apologize for the late post, but not anymore. No more apologies. No more over explaining. I’m finally living in the space God’s graced me to be in, and I’m loving it.

This is Year52.🥰

I pray that you’ve allowed God’s hugs and kisses to find you. There’s nothing like being graced with His blessings.

This is all for now. Wishing you a magnificent day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Good Night (53)

Just dropping in to say “Good Night.”

So far, I’m really enjoying 52. I know it sounds crazy, but it already seems different—in a great way.

After a week of being catered to, I finally realized that my babies are grown and have their own lives and their own money. My siblings also have their own lives. My dad and stepmom have each other and are making it the best they can together, which leaves me to do my own thing. I feel like I have this revelation often, but I uncover a newfound freedom with each revelation, and it’s beautiful.

This is Year52…

The year of favor, overflow, and grace.

I pray you had a wonderful day. May your evening be restful and your dreams be beautiful.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

I’m 52!

I’m finally 52!

So, how do I feel?

Fabulous!!

Seriously, as I mentioned in my previous post, I feel rejuvenated. Like I woke up as a different, lighter person. The past week with my babies was the best. No complaints at all.

Favor, overflow, and grace in full effect!🥰 God is good.

Here are a few pictures from yesterday. My sisters will be here for a few hours this afternoon. Can’t wait to see them!💗

My daughter sent me a flower cake. It’s so pretty!🌺🌸🌼

Fifty-Two

Feeling blessed.

Feeling grateful.

Thanking God for allowing me to see another beautiful birthday.

Thankful for 52 years of life.

Fifty-two…


Over the past few weeks, I’ve contemplated this year’s theme for Year 52. I kept hearing the words “favor,” “overflow,” and “grace.” So, today, I decided to include all three. Since there are 52 weeks in a year, I am declaring 52 weeks of favor, overflow, and grace over my life!

Favor

Overflow

Grace

Hello 52!

I’m ready for you!

Let’s do this!!♥️🎉
