My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Yesterday I purchased a new journal. It is the first hardback journal that I have purchased in almost two decades. I had become so accustomed to writing things down electronically that I had forgotten how it felt to pick up a pen and write.
Writing…
Breathing…
Thanking God for life.
Unlike my past journals, this one will be filled with stories of triumph, love, peace, and joy. This time I am choosing to write a different story.♥️

Keep writing. Your story does not end here.
Actually…
It is just beginning.♥️ ~ Shaun
Facebook Memory: September 9, 2022
Life happens in waves. Ups and downs. Ins and Outs. Joys and sorrows. Breathe.
No matter where the waves take you, know that God has you in His arms. He will never abandon or leave you. Again.. Breathe.♥️ ~ Shaun

Smile.
God is good.
I have already said enough this week. The only thing that matters and what I must always remember is God is good and He does love me.
Have a blessed weekend! Love you.♥️

Surround yourself with positivity—positive thoughts, positive people, positive energy. Allow love and light to flow in.♥️

I have had this as my cover/header on several of my social media platforms for three years now. Three years! Three years and I still find myself placing limits on God. Shaking my head.
Don’t limit God
Do Not Limit God!
A couple of days ago, I went on a 24 hour adventure with a feisty, fearless 82 year old. When I tell you she’s not afraid to live! She kept saying, “Aww LaShaundra (not LaShaundrea), you’re a scaredy cat.” When I tell you she’s so spontaneous. Everything I once was. Probably everything I could still be if I would have stayed out of my head.
Now I am sitting here asking myself what would happen if I completely let go… like completely. What limits am I blocking? Hmmm…
In the words of one of my all time favorite people in the world, “Higher is waiting.” Y’all, I believe that’s my answer. That’s what I am blocking. I’m blocking something higher. Guess it’s time to take those limits off and soar! I can do this!!!
Wishing you a wonderful Thursday. Love you!♥️

Gotta love Year50. When I tell you I was not expecting my year to be anything like this. When I say God is pruning me for real. Y’all, it’s scary, uncomfortable, and somewhat painful; however, I am trusting God to take me somewhere wonderfully, unimaginable. Somewhere where my heart will sing again, the butterflies will flutter, and I will experience an overflow of joy, blessings and unconditional love, forever…
Blessings are headed your way! Expect the unexpected.♥️ ~Shaun
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 forgotten about the theme I had chosen for this year, “Present and at peace.” Life started happening and my focus shifted from drawing from my inner peace to focusing on things happening around me. And about a good 90 percent of those things were someone else’s problems. My daughter says I internalize other people’s problems. She says it’s okay to empathize with them but their problems are theirs. And she’s absolutely right. I’m listening.
So today, I am once again choosing to stay present – only focusing on what’s in front of me – and at peace. Praying you do likewise. Have a wonderful day!♥️ ~Shaun
