Hello Sunday (282)

Shaun Bradford

Happy Sunday!☀️

Today, I am so grateful and blessed to be alive. Blessed to hear the birds singing. To see the beautiful sunshine. To breathe in fresh air. To have food to eat, water to drink, shelter, transportation, and the ability to move about freely.

Yes, I am blessed.

Ten Days until Year53…

This year’s excitement about my upcoming birthday is quite different. Usually, I’m bubbling with excitement, counting down the days, and imagining what I’ll do. However, the excitement I currently have is more contained. It’s a peaceful excitement. If that makes sense. It’s an excitement of knowing that I’m stepping into another year of wisdom—another year of maturity and growth.

Before I took my break (which I’m now referring to as a short sabbatical), I finally accepted the role as the matriarch of my family. A role that was already mine, but one that I wasn’t ready to accept. Well, I have accepted it, which means I must move differently. I have to be more mindful of what I do and don’t do (because that also matters). I’ll never be all stuffy because I love life too much. However, the way I move through life will change a bit. It’s already changed…for the better. Smile

I know I say it all the time, but I never knew this side of 50 could be so different. I’m thankful for the change. Thankful for God’s love, patience, and grace because they have gotten me to this place. I’m so looking forward to the blessings this side of 50 will continue to bring.

I pray that you have a lovely Sunday! Talk to you later.♥️

I love you,

God’s Timing, Life

It’s Time To Take That Leap!

Shaun Bradford

Hey Y’all!

Happy Self-Love Saturday!

I couldn’t decide which one of Shaun’s Daily Inspiration posts to link with today’s post, so I’m linking both!

It’s time to take that leap you’ve been hesitant to take. No more excuses—

“Take The Leap” by Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

The Quote of the Day is—

“If you keep standing on the verge of greatness, you’ll eventually get the opportunity to leap into it.” –Curtis Tyrone Jones

You’ve been standing on the verge long enough—Leap into it!✨

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

The Peace of God

Shaun Bradford

“God’s Peace calms storms and soothes souls.” –Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

The peace that God gives is nothing like the peace we attempt to create for ourselves. His peace isn’t superficial. It’s not something that can be captured in a photo. His peace is soul deep, and once you’ve experienced it, you never want to live without it.

This morning I’m thankful for my God-given peace.

In less than two weeks, I’ll be 53!!🥰🎉

I already know Year53 will be different because I’m different. As I told my sister-friends (because we’re more than besties☺️), with each decade comes a different level of maturity, wisdom, and desires. Our fifties aren’t meant to be like our forties, and our sixties are not meant to be like our fifties. Change is good. Growth is good. This side of fifty is good.💖

This is all for today. Be sure to check out my newest blog site “Shaun’s Daily Inspiration” for more inspiration and daily quotes.

Wishing you a wonderful day and weekend! May it be filled with lots of love, laughter, and joy.♥️

I love you,

Choose Kindness Over Ego

Shaun Bradford

A Kind Word
“A kind word, a gentle smile, and a grateful heart has a way of changing people and situations.” –Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

Be kind.

It doesn’t take much to do so once ego is removed.

When we feel wronged or disrespected, more times than not, our ego says to retaliate in some way or another. However, kindness pushes us to look beyond our feelings and respond with goodness, compassion, and love.

I encourage you to follow the direction of kindness. Even if you don’t see an immediate reaction or response from your effort, know that your kind gesture made an impact.

Side Note: Always be kind—not a pushover or doormat—but kind. There’s a difference. Just had to throw that in. Smile

Praying you have a wonderful day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Hope For Today

Shaun Bradford

Moments of Hope by Shaun’s Daily Inspiration 

“Moments of hope are found in the memories of smiles, the sounds of laughter, and stories of goodness. It’s those memories, and the anticipation of more like moments, that keep humanity alive. They keep hope alive.”

Today, if only for a moment, remember the smiles, the laughter, the good times, feelings of love, happiness, and joy. They’re not only experiences of the past but a glimpse of more like experiences to come. As songstress Maurette Brown Clark says, “It ain’t over until God says it’s over. Keep fighting until the victory is won…God has the final say.” 

It Ain’t Over by Maurette Brown Clark

Remain hopeful.

God has the final say.♥️

I love you,

Don’t Wait! You’re Already There

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️ and Happy Self Love Saturday!🥰

Here’s a Self Love Saturday video I made for TikTok a couple of years ago. I said I could feel myself living in my dreams.

Although we speak as if our dreams are destinations, I believe they’re ongoing stories. It’s our mindset—and let’s be real, our circumstances, too—that tells us our dreams are far off. However, it’s not the dream that we’re waiting for, but the part of the dream we envisioned.

As I said in the video, “I’m already there. I don’t have to wait.” Smiling as I think about how I started doing things I envisioned myself doing when I reached the dream. I stopped waiting for the dream to happen and started living it. Eventually, I’ll see what I envisioned—in God’s time.☺️

Listen, the dream is happening. It’s happening every day from the moment you open your eyes to the time you fall asleep. You are living in your dream(s). You just haven’t reached the part you envisioned.

I dare you to start living like you’re already there. Believe me, you’ll be amazed by how your life changes!

This is it for now. I pray you have a beautiful day! Remember to do something extra special for yourself.♥️

I love you,

Shaun
