My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Take a moment to pause and BREATHE…
Inhale
Exhale
Seems like I’ve been going a mile a minute since my last post. Today was supposed to be my easy day, but it’s anything but!
BUT GOD…
So… I took a moment to pause and breathe, and thought you might need to do the same.
Breathe
I love you!♥️

Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I pray all is well.🌸
Here’s a Facebook memory from June 4, 2022. The message is still the same but a little more pronounced nowadays. It seems like every week, someone I know or someone close to them has died. No lie, almost every week. I haven’t become numb to it, but it has made me live life a bit differently. Everything I thought was so urgent or concerning isn’t so anymore.
This memory is a message indeed. And before I continue, I must add that I’m not sad or depressed. I’m just beginning to view life differently and move in a manner that brings me the most fulfillment. Tomorrow isn’t promised, so the time is now!
I pray you have the most amazing day! May it be filled with lots of love, laughter, and joy.♥️
I love you much,
Shaun
**P.S. My posting schedule hasn’t changed. I was up late working on something and fell asleep, so I missed writing earlier. I guess my body needed the rest. It is my Wellness Wednesday.☺️ Maybe I’ll start scheduling all my posts to keep the time consistent. We shall see.😊
Lately, I have been intentionally stepping outside my comfort zone, doing new things, and meeting new people. I’m absolutely loving this space over 50. I will be 52 in exactly three weeks.
God is so good.
I am truly, truly blessed.🥰

God’s love never fails or changes. It’s the one thing we can trust to remain faithful and true.
God’s love always remains the same.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
I’m allowing God to lead me to wherever He desires me to be.
Trusting Him and His plan.♥️

Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I hope and pray you’re well.🌸
This morning, I spent some extra time sitting in God’s presence before writing. Most days, as soon as I open my eyes, I thank God for waking me up, say my daily prayers, and then begin writing. Afterwards, is when I usually spend more time with Him, and of course, I continue throughout the day. Today, God led me to move differently. After saying my prayers, I reflected on the many things God’s done and is doing in my life. I needed the extra time with Him. He’s moving, and I need to stay present so that I can move with Him.
This is all I have for now. I pray that you have a fabulous day. May it be filled with love, joy, and peace.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
Since I began the day with a memory from June 2nd, I thought I’d end with one.
Here is what I shared on June 2, 2019.
You will probably see the second picture every year because meeting Marcus Samuelsson and Leah Chase was like God’s hand touching my heart and soul. I had never experienced anything like it before. I simply said I wanted to meet them, and maybe a month or less later, I was with them. After thinking about what I shared in my first post of the day, “June 2, 2014,” I believe that trip set everything into motion. (See my previous post, “June 2, 2014.”)
Anyhoo…
I wish I could have sat down with Chef Leah Chase just one more time, but it never happened. Today, I spent the day with my 83-year-old retired Air Force friend (she’ll be 84 in September). I just love being in her presence. Listening to her reminisce about her earlier years and recent adventures (she loves to travel) makes me smile.
My heart is full.🥰
I hope you had a lovely day, and pray you have a restful night.♥️
Love you always,
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☀️
How are you?
I pray you’re doing wonderful!🌺

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!♥️
