My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
William Becton’s song, “Be Encouraged,” says:
I know right now it's impossible to see,
But God is gonna work it out if you just believe.
Remember this one thing while you're going through,
If God delivered Daniel, He'll do the same for you.
Be encouraged no matter what's going on,
He'll make it alright,
But you gotta stay strong.

Soooo…
I don’t usually speak on celebrities’ business unless something about it resonates with me or hits me a certain way. So today’s big news on social media is Jada Pinkett Smith revealing that she and Will have been separated since 2016. I haven’t heard the interview or the whole story—and I absolutely detest click bait—however, this time I’m biting and adding my two cents.
Y’all, life be lifing! Let’s be real, we have absolutely no idea where life is going to take us. We are blindsided every day by things we didn’t see coming. And most of the time it’s not due to other people’s actions but our own. Sometimes we wake up and decide to react or respond to things differently. It happens. I don’t know why. Can’t explain it. But it happens. The only possible explanation is we are human.
I don’t know about you but I am far from perfect. I try not to judge people because I know firsthand that life can take unexpected turns no matter how much you plan. It’s the story of my life. As I have said before, I had my entire life planned out as a child. Then, one blow to my plan literally took me out. And it didn’t stop there. I continuously made decisions that took me even further away from that plan. Looking back I hate how it happen but most of it was necessary. Anyway, it took me nearly 30 years to stop blaming myself for how things happened and for feeling like a failure.
Y’all, I’m saying all of this to say, life is going to do what it does. It’s up to us to figure out how we handle it. And hopefully we have people around us who will support and love us unconditionally when it does.
I read Will’s book and loved it. Can’t wait to read Jada’s. I have been rocking with them both for over 30 years and I’m not going to let their authenticity, vulnerability or life in general, stop me from supporting them. As I have said before, life be lifing. Don’t be so quick to judge or throw people away because you never know when you’ll need the same kind of support and understanding. It’s called grace.
Thank you for reading to my two cents. Wishing you a blessed day. Love you!♥️

Where you begin rarely looks like what you envisioned. Give yourself space, time and grace to grow. Don’t give up. You’ll get there!♥️
On another note, “Savior More Than Life,” by Kirk Franklin and The Family is still on repeat in my head. It’s been like this for days now. I can listen to music all day but once I turn it off, this song pops back up. Is my spirit on auto-worship mode and this is its worship song? Right now I am hearing that I just need to lean into God a little more as if a protection mode has been activated. Whew, Lord. I’m listening.
Well, this is how my day has started. As I stated above, growth is a process and I am still growing. Some days I have no idea if I am still in seed form or if my leaves are finally growing. When will my flowers begin budding? Sighing. Only time and life will tell. Until then, I guess I will lean into God a little more—get all comfy—and allow Him to love on me. Y’all have a wonderful day.
Love you!♥️

Life is going to happen regardless. Staying centered means blocking outside and internal noises, and only focusing on yourself and God.
Yes, life is going to do what it does. Do not let it drag you with it.♥️ ~ Shaun
How many times have you said something like, “They make me happy,” “This is my happy space,” or “I am happiest when…”? I know throughout my lifetime I have said or thought it at least a million times. However, looking back, it wasn’t the people around me or the spaces I was in that made me happy, it was me choosing to be happy. I am not saying that my surroundings didn’t contribute to my happiness, but ultimately it was my decision to be happy that allowed me to experience it.
Y’all, I have been in some spaces where I should have felt my lowest, yet I was happy. I have also been in spaces where I should’ve been on cloud nine and was miserable. It took me years to realize I controlled my happiness. I am not saying that I am never sad or disappointed or heartbroken. What I am saying is, over time I decided happiness was a better choice, and I absolutely love being happy.

Praying you have an absolutely amazing day. Remember, you are in control of your happiness. Love you!♥️
