In the Morning

Happy Monday! Not sure why I fell asleep with Cry On by Commissioned stuck in my head. Then woke up with Ain’t No Need to Worry by The Winans and Anita Baker playing over and over in my head. I shared both songs on social media. The first one last night and the latter, this morning. Both songs imply that problems, heartaches, disappointments and pain are only temporary. That if we would just hold on, it would all be over in the morning. Honestly, it’s hard to believe the pain will ever subside, especially while we’re deep in it. However, over time, the pain eases and life gets better. Please, hold on!

Sending prayers and love to those who need it. 🙏🏽♥️ ~ Shaun

Hello Sunday

Celebrating the Final Sunday of Heart Month

Overall, this month has been pretty good! I am excited to announce that I have adopted a new favorite pastime – Drawing!

I have always loved art and spent countless hours drawing as a child (no cable television– lol). While in middle school I took art classes as electives but wasn’t really serious about it. In adulthood, I have spent years admiring others’ work while secretly wishing I could tap into my artistic side again. Well, as the saying goes, “There’s nothing to it but to do it.” Smile.

So that’s exactly what I am doing. I am drawing again! Every day I draw something. Anything. The finished product doesn’t have to be perfect, look good or even be recognizable, as long as I am drawing something. My intention is to become a better drawer/artist over the next year with the ultimate goal of one day becoming an renowned artist. Lately, I have been thinking a lot about legacy and what I want to be known for. Well, besides love, kindness, compassion and being an overall good person, I want to be known for my writings, quotes and artwork. If you have been following my blog over the past month, then you have seen some of my work. I am calling my collection Shaun’s Smile because it’s what makes me smile. Feel free to follow me on Twitter: Shaun’s Smile or Instagram: It’s Shaun’s World to view more of my work.

I used the following drawings with my quotes. Enjoy! ~ Shaun

Steadfast

On this date last year, I woke up with the word “Steadfast” on my mind. I wrote that’s all I kept hearing. So today I’m sharing the same word and message with you. Remain steadfast – immovable; not subject to change; loyal. As I wrote last year, DO NOT give up!! God is working. ~ Shaun
