My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
I used to believe people who only shared their successes instead of their failures were frauds. I now realize that is not necessarily the case. There’s a time, place and audience for everything. Knowing when, where and what to share is vital, even when it comes to sharing successes. Yes, I am finally realizing that good news isn’t always acceptable for some.

Grace: Courteous goodwill.
Thankful for God’s grace. We know we do not deserve it, yet we receive it daily. Talk about blessed!♥️ ~Shaun
This is just a friendly reminder that life is truly short and those we love are only here for a brief moment. Spend time with those you can. Acknowledge the ones you cannot physically spend time with. You do not have to have a full blown conversation with them. A simple “Hello! Have a great day.” “Thinking of you.”, “I miss you.”, “I love you.” or any combination of them all will suffice. Listen, just drop a heart or a smiley face. Anything! People just want to know that someone is thinking of them and that they are loved. You don’t have to do it daily. However, every once in a while, let those you love know you love them before you can no longer let them know.
I love you! I may not know you, but I do. Be Blessed!♥️

Thanking God for waking me up this morning – whole and healthy; and for allowing me to see another beautiful day. I am also so very thankful for my amazing kids, family and friends. There’s no doubt that I am truly blessed.♥️ ~ Shaun
Hello! Here’s a Facebook memory from last year. I should have added, wherever your heart is, your mind and soul follows. Where is your heart?
Here’s an additional caption. I added this when I reshared it to another account.
Moment of Transparency:
There was a time when I allowed thoughts of imperfection to control me. Not saying those thoughts don’t still pop up, because they do, but they no longer control me. Yeah.. caused so much anxiety.
I keep telling y’all when I say God is sooo good, THIS is what I’m talking about. #ForeverGrateful
Y’all, God is absolutely wonderful. I just love watching Him work in my life. Used to spend most of my time watching Him work in the lives of others, now I am watching Him do the same for me. Of course it is not always pleasant to watch. Believe me, sometimes the tests and trials make me want to throw in the towel and just be; however, God won’t let me. He pushes me through. Then, I look up a year(s) later and I am so much stronger than I was before. This past week I attended a conference with women I used to feel intimidated to be in the room with. My imposter syndrome used to be on an all time high. However, this time, I knew… not only felt… but knew I belonged there. Again, God is absolutely wonderful!
That’s all I have for you today. About to get on the road. Please keep my family in your prayers. My bonus mom is really sick. We are not sure what’s wrong. She’s been sick for a while but is just now admitting it. At first I felt like this was deja vu because it is August again, but I am not claiming it. I know God is a healer. Amen
Y’all have a wonderful day. Love you!♥️

Had a dream about turtles last night. Not just one particular kind but several different turtles. Two, in particular, stood out. There was this huge turtle with a turquoise shell with a baby turtle beside them. Then there was this other turtle that I first thought was a new kind lizard. It kept following me in a playful way. Now y’all, I am afraid of lizards but I love turtles. Well, I wasn’t afraid of this particular lizard. I finally turned my attention to it and discovered it wasn’t a lizard but a turtle whose shell had come off. It led me back to its shell and I attempted to put it back on. I taped it together with some clear packing tape and it was happy. Then it really followed me everywhere I went. There was also a tiny snapping turtle in my dream but I ignored it.
Of course I googled the meaning of seeing turtles in a dream but there were so many that I decided to interpret it on my own. Well, this is what came to me while I was attempting to draw a turtle and while this one particular song kept playing over and over in my head. Hadn’t heard it in forever… I Don’t Have the Heart by James Ingram. Talk about weird.
My interpretation:
It’s okay to protect your heart. However, you have to also be open to be loved. You cannot be so protected that you do not let love in. I am now realizing that that particular song is the song that has kept me from letting love in because in my experience, that was how the relationships I wanted always ended. “I care about you but…”. I have to stop assuming my story will always end that way. Guess I will never know if I stay guarded. Time to see what happens…
That’s all I have. Supposed to be getting ready to attend a conference, but know I couldn’t miss a day of sharing. I’m now on day 814, I believe.
Love you!♥️
