June Is Here!

Facebook Memory: June 1, 2021

June is finally here!! As usual, I’m celebrating ALL month long! Might even carry it over into July! I’m pretty sure I’ll celebrate the entire summer when I turn 50. Baby, I’m ready!!! Oh… and just wait til I turn 100!!!! Whew!!💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

Thought this memory was kind of cute. As you can see, I mentioned that for my 50th birthday I would celebrate the entire summer. Never imagined I would celebrate the entire year. Lol. Now I have to figure out how I’ll celebrate my 100th.

Well, the celebration for Year51 has already begun, and I am enjoying every minute of it.

Wishing you a joyous mouth. Happy June to you!♥️

I Am Worthy of God’s Best

Facebook Memory: May 31, 2022

Affirmation on Repeat:
“I am worthy. Yes, ME. I am worthy of God’s best.”

Listen.. and hear me good.. YOU are worthy of God’s absolute best. You don’t have to settle for less.

Yes, you and me both. We are worthy of God’s absolute best. No more settling for less.

Guess what?! Tomorrow is my birthday month!!!! Listen, I don’t care how old I get, I love celebrating my birthday! Just saying the word birthday makes me feel like I’m a kid again. Smiling. Looking forward to ending my jubilee year on 10 and bringing in Year51 on 100!! Y’all, I am already hyped and I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do. Probably nothing. However, it’s always the excitement leading up to my birthday that’s the true gift. If I happen to actually do something spectacular, then it will be the icing—real buttercream icing—on the cake. Blessed

Anyhoo… Wishing you a wonderful day and magnificent weekend!♥️

Year51 is loading!

Be Ready & Prepared

Here’s an excerpt from my journal entry written on May 28, 2017:

“God’s not dead. Jesus is not dead. Remember this. He’s all powerful! God is about to open windows. You NEED to be ready! READY! PREPARED!”

Not quite sure what all happened after that, but I do know later that year I launched my first consulting business, The ResearchDiva–RD. Y’all, I was ready. Couldn’t tell me nothing. I was The Research Diva–RD, ready to save the world! Global health equity was my mission and I was on it. When I tell you I just knew I was about to be working with international entities. Looking back, maybe I was a little too confident. Doors were opening and I was making moves and connections. However, what I had not accounted for were the hiccups and setbacks that came with my quest. Y’all, why did I think everything was going to flow as smoothly as I had planned in my head and on paper? All it took was one blow and I was out. Just being transparent. I was done. Physically I was still there doing the work; however, mentally I was gone.

So, here I am seven years later seeing and hearing that same message everywhere—“Be Ready! Windows are opening.” And I see it happening. Over the past few months some of the same opportunities I had 7-8 years ago have re-presented themselves and of course I am taking them. I know everyone doesn’t get second chances so I refuse to let them slip away. However, unlike seven years ago, I am not oblivious to the fact that all good things and successes come with challenges. This time I’m prepared. Yes, this time, no matter what happens, I will keep going.

Listen, please do not think this message is only for me. No, YOU should also be ready and prepared. Windows are opening. Setbacks and disappointments will happen as you move forward, but keep going!

I pray you are having a wonderful day thus far. Be blessed and again, keep going!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Rebranded, but still the same goal—health equity.♥️
