Take the Leap
Facebook Memory: November 15, 2022
A few years ago, I shared this quote – “Fear is only temporary. Regret lasts forever.” I’m not sure if regret lasts forever; however, I do know fear is only temporary.
Your vision is clear. Don’t allow fear to stop you from fulfilling your purpose. Do it afraid!♥️
Lately, my messages from last year have been much needed messages for today. Seems like whatever I post in the morning is needed sometime during the same day. I guess it’s God’s way of preparing me for what’s to come. Today’s message is, “Do it afraid.” Well, whatever “it” is, I am going to do it. Yep…I am going to do it afraid. Whew!! Gotta remember God’s got me.
I pray you have a wonderful Wednesday. Listen, take that leap that frightens you the most. God’s got you. He will not let you fail.
Be Blessed!♥️

Never Settle For Less
Facebook Memory: November 14, 2022
Have you ever settled because you were too anxious to wait? OR…because you believed that what you were offered was the best you could get? You know– “You better take what you can get.”
Nah! NEVER settle for less than what you desire. Believe me, you’re worth it and more!♥️
On another note…
TODAY IS MY BESTIES’ 50TH BIRTHDAY!!!!
Y’all, we have been friends since we were toddlers (2-3 years old). We also share the same name (Shaun & Shawn). How wild is that, especially since I was born in Mississippi and she was born in Chicago. Our mothers were never friends. We met through our grandparents who were neighbors. Most of our lives we lived in different places. I was always between Mississippi and Kansas and she was everywhere—Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee and Mississippi. Although we rarely saw each other outside of summer vacations, we kept in touch through letters. I am so grateful and blessed to have her in my life.
Hello Sunday
I believe I will make the following Facebook memory my screensaver. I am finishing up two papers that are due by the end of the day, and I need the encouragement.

YOU were born to WIN! I love you and God loves you too. Have a blessed day!♥️
On another note, so many exciting things are happening this week! Besides this being the final day of this term (Woohoo!), two of my besties are turning 50 this week. One has a birthday tomorrow, November 13th, and the other on Tuesday, November 14th (friends since age 2 –♥️). Then on Friday, November 17th, a documentary about my fave (added the “e” for those who cringe when I write “fav”), Mr. Tyler Perry, will premiere on Amazon Prime Video – Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story. Woohoo!
This is going to be some week!♥️

Drown Out the Noise
In the words of Smokie Norful—
The noise of my day
The depression that steals my voice
The confusion that arrests my life
So I can’t even make a choice
Life seems so loud
I’ve been too proud
So Lord, what do I do?
I just need a word from You …
Drown out the noise
Let me hear Your voice
Oh Lord, I know need a word from You
Song: I Need a Word

Press Pause
Facebook Memory: November 10, 2022
So many things that happen in life are beyond our control. Today, I encourage you to take mental breaks whenever you feel overwhelmed. This could mean unplugging from social media, using DND, turning off the TV. Press ⏸ on whatever’s causing you stress.♥️ ~Shaun
Prayers are Being Answered
Now is not the time to lose faith. Everything you prayed for is happening. You may not see it yet, but it is happening. So, stand still and stand strong. God is working.♥️ ~Shaun
The Beginning
What may seem like the ending is actually the beginning. Prepare to fly.♥️ ~Shaun
Love you!♥️

God Has Something Better Planned
I’m learning more and more not to become discouraged when things don’t work out as I thought they would. Either things do not happen because 1) it’s not time, 2) it’s for our protection, or 3) it just isn’t meant to be. No matter the reasons, God always has something better planned. Always
Unfortunately, my uncle did not win the election. There were a few hiccups (ran out of ballots at several precincts) in one of the major counties. Yes, voter suppression at its finest. Anyhoo… In my opinion, my uncle did very well. With 94% of the votes in, he received nearly 42% of the votes (over 300K votes). To me that’s pretty awesome. To go from no one knowing your name six months ago to having over 300 thousand votes is good.
Well y’all, my Year50 continues. It was nice to experience politics from a different point of view. I have absolutely no idea what other adventures are in store for the next seven months. I will say that so far things have been much different from the first 50 years. Not in a bad way, just different and interesting. The way I view life is so different from before. I’m much calmer now, and expecting the unexpected is becoming the norm. Yeah… nothing really surprises me anymore. People are going to people and life is going to continue doing what it does. No need to stress about it, right?
Anyway…
Thanking God for peace, grace and exceptional love. I am truly blessed.
Good Night!♥️
