Today, I am veering a little off script. Instead of writing my Father’s Day message under my “Hello Sunday” post, I have decided to give fathers their own post.
To all of my wonderful fathers out there, know that we see you. Yes, we actually see you. We see you, and you are loved and appreciated. Enjoy your day!💙
Alton Sutton (my daddy) inspired.
Spending the day with my daddy. Not sure how much longer we have left together. Going to spend as much time as possible with him as I can. He’s not sick, but he is getting older and moving a little slower. He’s my heart.♥️

As Aaliyah sings—
It’s Friday (Hey) And I’m ready to swing, pick up my girls And hit the party scene Tonight, oh, it’s alright, mhm So get up and let this funky mellow grove get you in the mood ‘Cause you know it’s alright, yeah
Keep on groovin’ (Don’t stop movin’) Don’t stop movin’ Let me see you, let me see you go
Back, back, forth, and forth (Go back) Let me see you go Back, back, forth, and forth (Alright) I wanna see you go Back, back, forth, and forth (Come on) Let me see you go Back, back, forth, and forth (See you go back and forth)
Today, let’s intentionally be kind. Let’s even be kind to those who don’t deserve our kindness. Kind, but not a doormat. As my momma use to say, “Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness.” Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

Choose kindness. Kindness is not indicative of weakness. It’s a sign of strength, control and humility. And yes, it’s possible to exhibit all three simultaneously. I dare you to try it!😉
If you can imagine it, I wholeheartedly believe you can create it. It may not look exactly like what you’ve imagined, but create it anyway. Silence that voice that says it’s not good enough because God will step in and perfect it. So create!
This image was shared with the caption above. What a difference two years make. Smiling because I know it’s only going to get better with time.
A few years ago, I posed this question—“What do you want?”. Smiling as I think about it. Of course, all kinds of things popped into my head when I thought of the things I wanted. However, what I really, truly wanted weren’t things at all, it was peace. Peace within.
Well, I’m so happy to report that I found the peace I was searching for. Listen, all kinds of craziness can be happening around me and I always find myself at peace. Now, it doesn’t always happen instantaneously. Sometimes I find myself wanting to join the chaos or allow things to linger; however, God has a way of easing the peace in. Y’all, He is so smooth. I just love the way He loves me. Favored & Blessed
Here’s today’s Facebook memory.
Facebook Memory: June 12, 2021
What do you want? Simple question, yet not always easy to answer. Most of the time when we’re asked this question we respond based on our desires at that particular moment or where we are in life. Quick and easy answers will suffice in the moment; however, deep down we know there’s so much more. When was the last time you asked yourself what is it that truly want out of life?
I planned for peace. I sought it out, and God gave it to me.
Of course, I want more than peace. However, what I am beginning to see is the peace I asked for is opening doors and making room for other things I desire. Honestly, I am just letting God do His thing and bless me as He sees fit. He knows best, and His blessings are above anything I could have ever imagined or dreamed.
Last night, my son asked if this is where I pictured myself at 50. And my response was, I never even imagined 50 (from an adolescent/young adult standpoint). I had no idea I would experience life the way I have. Yesterday, I attended an event for women veterans. At even 18, I never imagined I would join the military. Had no clue I would have my first child a few years later. Didn’t know I would live in Germany or Turkey. I mean, soooo much has happened since then. So, making it to age 50 is such a wonderful blessing and feeling. I have a home. I’m healthy. My kids are healthy, and they are thriving adults. And…I am finally living in the peace I asked for.
Side note: I keep stressing the peace part because I used to let things bother me. Like really bother me. I was what people referred to as a “worrier.” Felt like if I wasn’t worried about something then I wasn’t living or I didn’t care. Oh, how life has changed. I am so loving this space I’m in, and loving life over 50.
Well, I think this is it for today unless I decide to add something later. Also, I don’t believe I sent you well wishes today. So I am doing it now. I pray your day is exceptionally beautiful.♥️
It’s Shaun’s World
