Handle with Care

Good Morning and Happy Friday!☀️

Woke up with the thought, “Handle with Care,” on my mind. When you handle something with care, you don’t just treat it any kind of way. You hold it as a gift, a treasure.

I know it’s the end of the year, but the next few months are a preface to the year to come. So it makes perfect sense that I set and implement my theme now—

“Handle Me with Care.”

Whoever enters my life, as well as those already here, must handle me with care. No, I’m not fragile—I’m rare and priceless. I am One of One.💎

I’m God’s Child


Listen, know your worth and make sure you’re treated accordingly. You’re not asking for too much to be treated with exceptional love, kindness, and respect.


I pray you have a wonderful day and the most beautiful weekend! May it be filled with lots of love, joy, and happiness.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

A Week Of Inspiration

Good Morning☀️ And Happy Thursday! I promise it feels like Friday, but it’s not. Perhaps this is my sign to treat today as Friday. We shall see!😊


As many of you know (those who have been following me for a while), several months ago I decided to separate my daily inspirations from my personal posts. It was time. So, if you’ve been wondering what happened to my “Quote of the Day” and personal inspirational quotes, know that they’re still here! You can find them under ShaunsDailyInspiration.com. If you’re not already following me there, here’s a week’s worth of quotes for you. When I share them on other platforms, I usually share them in pairs.

Note: The following screenshots only show the caption I shared when reposting to social media. Visit ShaunsDailyInspiration.com to see the actual post.

My Journey With God, No. 149

Good Morning☀️ And Happy Self Love Saturday!

Here’s a quote from Fave #4.

“Just try new things. Don’t be afraid. Step out of your comfort zones and soar.” –Michelle Obama

Quote of the Day – 9.19.2026

Comfort zone…

I believe these last three years have pushed me outside my comfort zone more than any other period in my life. I’ve already done more on this side of 50 (at 53) than I’ve done in decades at a time. I asked for my years beyond 50 to be far different from the last, and I’m so in awe of how God is bringing my ask to fruition.

While scrolling through my photos, I came across this text between my daughter and me. Y’all, all I could do was smile. It’s a testament of me asking and God answering.

This was October 2023.

I just love my baby girl!!💗

I was at home that day, reading tweets from colleagues attending our national food and nutrition conference (FNCE). For years, I lived for attending those conferences. They gave me the annual boost I needed to stay motivated, as well as sparked new ideas. You see, after I took my big leap of faith and resigned from my job, I could no longer afford to attend the conferences. I could barely afford to attend our state conferences.

Then, a year later…

Less than six months after my daughter texted, “You are preparing for the next level!!!!”, I said yes to serving as the president-elect of our state’s dietetics association. This didn’t take me outside my comfort zone (I had served years before), but I was at a stage in my life (or so I thought) where I just wanted to live the “retired” life. Smile

Here are more pictures from that day. Y’all, I really love our conferences.

Okay… So maybe I go for the food.😂 Always a good time!

I also attended last year’s conference in Nashville. This year, I’m planning our state’s conference, so it’s my main focus right now.

A few posts ago, I asked the question— “What do you want most [from life]?” And in another post, I wrote—

“Listen, if you want to truly live, sit and stay in God’s presence. He will give you experiences that will satisfy your soul. Yeah…His experiences are soul deep!”

I know what I truly want, and so does God. Attending the conferences may seem like a small experience, but for me, it’s one of those soul-deep ones. Yes, I love the food (I really think food is my love language☺️), but I love being around the people most. When I’m at those conferences—and that’s any conference or event—I talk to EVERYBODY! I even talk to the janitors cleaning the restrooms. I want everyone to feel seen, valued, and appreciated. Plus, it’s how you make connections. So yeah… it’s soul deep for me.

Listen, there are so many soul-deep experiences outside of your comfort zone. Be open to saying yes to new opportunities and doing something new.


This is all for today. Have a wonderful self-love Saturday. Celebrate it by doing something new!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

The Journey to “Becoming”

September 7, 2024

“We are on a journey of becoming that which we already are.” –Leonard Jacobson

Quote of the Day – 9.07.2026

Note this part of the quote—

“…that which we already are.”

Yes, it’s who you already are!

Don’t act surprised. You already know who you are. You’ve known it forever. What began as a tiny spark as a child has now grown into a full-blown flame that’s ready to be unleashed. So stop resisting the flow. Instead, embrace it and allow it to carry you where you need to go.

Breathe…

You got this because God’s got you.

Now, walk in who YOU were created to be.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday (284)

Happy Sunday!☀️

I pray you’re doing well.

Today is one of those days when I just want to take it easy. I wish I were close enough to the coast to see the water. Even though it’s only a little over an hour away, I don’t feel like driving. I just need to be near nature where things are calm. Right now, I can hear the birds singing. I guess that’s enough for now.

What do you have planned for the day? I hope it’s something calm and relaxing.🌺

Be sure to stop by Shaun’s Daily Inspiration for a little inspiration. Here’s what I shared as an Instagram reel and YouTube short (the IG reel is a bit longer).

This is all for now. Have a beautifully blessed day.♥️

Singing “Yet Still I Rise”

Woke up singing Yolanda Adams’ song, “Still I Rise.” The song says—

Yet still I rise
Never to give up
Never to give in against all odds
Yet still I rise
High above the clouds
At times I feel low
Yet still I rise

“Still I Rise” by Yolanda Adams

Y’all, God is so good. I am truly blessed.

I pray you have a wonderfully, blessed Self-Love Saturday. Remember to treat yourself kind and do something extra special for yourself. You deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun
