Here Is A Nugget Of Encouragement

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

May 13, 2024

Be intentional about encouraging others and yourself. Leave little messages for yourself here and there so you will see them when needed. I found the following in one of my posts from 2023.

“It always amazes me how God has me leave nuggets of wisdom and encouragement for my future self. Nuggets that are always relevant for when they are needed. Forever grateful. I’m blessed.”

In the same post, I wrote about finally becoming comfortable with sharing my works and ventures on all my platforms. That I was no longer intimidated or worried about being judged. I used to feel the same way when sharing my writings here. My heart would drop whenever I found an error after publishing my post. No lie. I would literally become sick and dwell on it for hours. Today, I don’t have that problem. If I see an error, I correct it and keep pushing. The anxiety I used to feel is gone.

So, I said all that to say that this reminder was a nugget of encouragement I needed today. Where I was a few years ago compared to where I am now is like night and day. I’m so grateful for how far I’ve come. Even where I was a year ago is nothing compared to where I am today. I’m growing, evolving, and becoming, and I love how it feels. God is so good.

Today, I would like to encourage you to reflect on your growth over the years. Look at how far you’ve come!

I’m proud of you. Now, keep going!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Who Are You?

Shaun Bradford

When was the last time you took a moment to ask yourself, “Who am I?”. I recently attended an event, and that was one of the questions. Who are you outside of your relationships with others? Who are you outside of your career? Who are you outside of social media? Who are you when no one else is around? What are your innermost dreams and ambitions, or your deepest hurts and fears—you know, the ones only you and God know about? Who are you?

Once you discover who you truly are, embrace and nurture the attributes that bring out the best in you and heal the parts that need healing so you can become the best version of yourself.

God has so many blessings waiting for the true you. Discover who you are!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

I’m There

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

I shared the following on May 12, 2022—

Thank You, Lord for hearing my prayers and making this side of 50 different. Amen

That was God’s word to me three years ago, which I so graciously shared with you. Smile. You’ll never get to where you want to be if you can’t see or feel yourself there. It’s all about mindset.

Same questions as before:

– Can you see yourself there?

– Can you feel yourself there?

– Are you already there?

Me, I’m already there.

I’m there (here), fully immersed in and experiencing it all.

Y’all, God is so good! When I think about where my life and mindset were three years ago compared to where they are now, all I can do is praise God. I’m so thankful that He never gave up on me. So grateful that He kept nudging me forward when I felt like giving up and when I wanted to settle. I am so very blessed.

I pray you have an exceptionally wonderful week. Remember to keep God first and keep shining!✨♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

Celebrating Mother’s Day

Shaun Bradford

When I woke up this morning, the last thing I wanted to do was celebrate Mother’s Day. I just wasn’t feeling it. But God and my daughter had different plans. I’m so glad she decided to come home this weekend. I needed her company. I needed the love, laughs, hugs (from both of my hearts), and good food. I may have lost my mother, but… I am a mother. God blessed me with two beautiful souls. How could I not celebrate this honor?

My daughter is on her way back home. We did more in about 18 hours than we would have done the entire weekend. When I tell you we laughed, danced, sang, ate, watched Netflix (started “Forever”), had a few deep conversations, and ate some more.🥰

To the mothers and mother figures who nurture and give selflessly, “Happy Mother’s Day!” You are loved and appreciated.💕🌸💗

Y’all, I Got My Roses!

Shaun Bradford

Just made it home and was surprised with two gift—

One…

My daughter’s home! She told me she probably wouldn’t come home because I was going to have a busy weekend, but she had sent me something that would make me smile.

And two…

I’m smiling. She sent me flowers. Y’all, I got my roses!

Talk about the perfect ending to a very long day. God is so very good.

Beyond Blessed!♥️

You deserve a wonderful life.

May 10, 2022

Yes…

Now, repeat with me—

“I deserve a wonderful life.”

And do.🥰

I pray you are enjoying your Self-Love Saturday. Remember to do something special for yourself.♥️

I love you,

Update: I Need To Get This Out …

Shaun Bradford

Good Evening!✨

I wanted to share an update to this morning’s post, “I Need To Get This Out, Please Bear With Me.” In short, I’m feeling so much better. I decided to drive up for the funeral today instead of waiting until tomorrow. And I’m glad I did. As much as I wanted to be alone, I needed to be around family. I needed the love, laughs, and hugs. God is good.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers! I needed them. Wishing you a peaceful, relaxing evening.🙏🏽♥️

Love you always,

Shaun
