Celebrating Year 50: Month 4
Happy Birthday to me, again!! Just kidding. I am four months on this side of 50 and although this celebratory journey hasn’t been glamorous, it has been exactly what I have needed. Everyone who knows me knows I like watching God work. Well, I am doing just that. I now have a front row seat watching Him work in my life. You would think I would have been seated here all along, but nooo… I have been seated several rows back… in my own life. Shaking my head. Well, I am now front row at an exclusively, private screening of my own show, It’s Shaun’s World. Yes, I am finally here! Woohoo! And this time I am the main character. Can’t believe it has taken me this long to get here. Well, I did have to take care of my babies; however, I should have also been taking care of myself as well. Hindsight is 20/20, right?
Anyway, over the last four months, as with any good show, I have celebrated, cried, laughed, cried, gained a lot of wisdom, and cried even more. When I tell you these last four months have been intense—almost like a boot camp. As a result, I am stronger, wiser and more focused than ever.
Seriously, God’s been working on me. There were so many areas of my life that I thought I was doing well in only to find out I needed a lot more work. Here’s a quote taken from my Hello Sunday written two years ago.
“I believe God reveals things in stages. He reveals them when He knows we are equipped and ready to move to the next level. Whether we view the revelations as disappointments or blessings, every reveal or “aha” is always on time.”
I was so right. Every revelation has been right on time. Can’t wait to see where this show goes. I have eight more months left in the first of 50+ seasons. Wherever it goes I know that I will always come out on top. You know why? It’s because God is the writer, producer and director of this show. Plus, he loves me! Laughing
That’s all for now. Thank you for celebrating with me! I have a few Facebook memories to share later.
Take Care!♥️

Hello Sunday
Here’s a great reminder that we must be mindful of the words we speak. Whatever we speak—positive or negative—will become our reality.
Be Blessed!♥️

The Season of Change
Have you ever had God ask you to do something that you believed was insignificant, so you didn’t? Or, maybe you decided not to do it because you just didn’t want to? Well, yesterday I almost missed the mark with one of my posts. Little did I know, someone needed that particular message.
The Facebook memory I am now sharing was supposed to be my first post for today. I had decided not to share it because I am currently in a season of change, and y’all, some of these changes are difficult to embrace.
Well, while I was thinking about myself, I found out someone actually needed this exact message. They needed to be reminded that change is going to happen. Instead of resisting it, embrace it. There are so many wonderful blessings waiting on the other side. Here is the message–
Facebook Memory: October 21, 2022
Change is inevitable. Y’all, it’s going to happen. And even though God is omnipotent, it’s hard for Him to work if we are not willing to change. So instead of resisting it, embrace it!
Yesss… Embrace the change and watch God work!♥️
From here on, I will try to be more obedient (I’m still human). I have to accept that it’s not about me, it’s about what God is doing through me.
That’s it for today; unless I have the urge to share something else. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Love you!♥️
Shaun
THIS is Year50.
I Am in Repair
“I’m in repair.” Those were the words Nicole Avant used during the first few minutes of her conversation with Jay Shetty. Y’all, that simple statement made me burst into tears because I am in repair. Yes… me!
While I was crying, I began thinking about every negative experience I had gone through. Every disappointment, heartache, loss and hurt. The feelings of grief, abandonment, neglect, unworthiness, and betrayal. Every negative thing that I had emotionally detached myself from so that I wouldn’t feel the pain, came flooding back. When I tell you I bawled!
At the end of their conversation they actually revisited the topic of being in repair, and Nicole mentioned crying. That crying was good. My 8th grade Spanish teacher used to say crying cleanses the soul. They’re both right. I needed to cry and may need to shed a few more tear.
Y’all, I am so very grateful God loves me. He always gives me exactly what I need when I need it. There was a segment during the interview where Nicole mentioned pruning a bush or tree and how it didn’t look so good afterwards; however, when spring came, it was beautiful. I’ve said it before, I know I am being pruned. It doesn’t feel good but I know the results will be beautiful.
Here’s the link to Jay Shetty’s conversation with Nicole Avant – Nicole Avant On The Hardest Day of Her Life.
I loved Nicole’s energy! So positive. So full of life. And y’all, she also believes we are all connected. This made me smile. Can’t wait to read her book, “Think You’ll Be Happy: Moving Through Grief with Grit, Grace and Gratitude.”
Y’all, God is good. I am truly, truly blessed and loved.♥️

It’s Still Possible
Nine years ago, I had the opportunity to meet someone I had long admired, Dr. David Satcher, former Surgeon General of the United States. I was on cloud nine. At one point in time, I wanted to be the Surgeon General of the United States. Interesting, huh?
This is why I revisit my Facebook memories every day. They remind me of my goals and dreams and so many wonderful moments. That picture reminds me that any and everything is possible. I can still be who I desire to be and achieve any dream imaginable. During that same week, I met chefs Leah Chase and Marcus Samuelsson.
Y’all, I was so excited to meet Dr. Satcher. I’m pretty sure he thought I was a fan of his because of his looks or something. Nah.. I was a fan of his work. At the time, I saw myself doing the exact same thing or something similar. I was like, if he could do it, then so could I. I just had to touch where I wanted to be. Y’all, I was on my way there! I was so close.
I may not be able to recreate that same atmosphere but I can tap back into that mindset. It’s not gone. It’s still here. I needed to see this today. God is so good. I keep telling y’all He loves me. I know He’s going to make sure I get to where I am going.
On another note, both of my shows are back!! Tyler Perry’s The Oval and Sistas did not disappoint! Tuesday, I did okay. Wednesday… Wednesday, I really wanted to jump back into chat mode but I didn’t. I did good. Someone I met in the We Are Sistas group said they would chat with me after the shows so that’s worked. I’m going to be alright.
Looking forward to seeing where this next half of my life takes me. ONLY expecting, claiming, and accepting great things!
Hello Year50!♥️

Ask God First
Be sure to consult with God before making your next big move. Moving without His permission could be detrimental. Maybe not physically, but spiritually, emotionally, mentally and/or financially.♥️ ~ Shaun
Remember the Good Times
Remember how life used to be before it became so complexed and complicated.
When your smiles and laughter were purely genuine.
When your dreams and aspirations were just pieces of your imagination.
When sitting on the front porch people watching was your favorite pastime.
When the smell of fresh rain made you smile and thunderstorms put you to sleep.
Remember…
When love was free.
When no one had hidden agendas.
When a person’s word was their bond.
When sharing your life on social media was nonexistent.
Remember…
When life was so simple.
You know…
When you were free to BE.
Remember those times, places and spaces. They are reminders that life is so worth living.♥️
Love you!
Shaun
Get Some Rest– It’s Handled
Here’s the song that is currently playing over and over in my head:
Ain’t No Need to Worry by The Winans (featuring Anita Baker)
Ain't no need in worrying
what the night is gonna bring,
it'll be all over in the morning.
There's a fear of night fall,
when darkeness comes and covers all the day.
Sometimes we feel pain,
but there are things that we can change, just pray.
Ain't no need to worry,
what the night is gonna bring,
it'll be all over in the morning.
Troubles come, but they do past,
heartaches, hurts, oh but, they don't last always.
Sometimes we feel pain,
but there are things that we can change, just pray.
Ain't no need to worry,
what the night is gonna bring,
it'll be all over in the morning.
In the morning, the morning,
it'll be all over in the morning.
It'll be all over in the morning.
Makes no different how dark the night,
if you trust in God, it'll be alright;
(it'll be all over in the morning).
It makes no difference how long the day,
trust in God, He'll make a way;
(it'll be all over in the morning).
Weeping will last, but only for awhile,
but when the sun shines, you'll wear a smile;
(it'll be all over in the morning).
And I say, thank you Jesus,
in the presence of all those who hear my voice;
(it'll be all over in the morning).
In the morning, the morning,
it'll be all over in the morning.
It'll be all over in the morning.
Lyrics by LyricFind
Whatever is troubling your mind, your heart, and/or your soul, let it go. Release it. Know that God has taken care of it all. It’s done. Now, get some rest.♥️
