Celebrating 1200 Days!
🎉🎉 Today, I am celebrating another milestone—1200 consecutive days of posting! Woohoo!!!🎉 That’s over 3 years of posting every single day.
1200 Days!
Rain or shine, happy or sad, up or down, I’ve posted. I haven’t missed one single day of sharing a piece of my world with the world. I pray my posts have added a little more love, hope, kindness, and inspiration to every soul they’ve reached.
To my readers, I absolutely love y’all!!💗💗💗
Thank you for your support and encouragement. Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts, testimonies, and experiences with you. I truly appreciate you! I pray you are having a wonderful day. Remember to take care of yourself, first, and to also celebrate all your successes, whether big or small. They matter. YOU matter!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Let It Flow Freely
Today is turning out to be one of those days where I am just going with the flow. There’s no rush to do anything. No set schedule. I’m just letting life flow. I’m allowing both goodness and love to flow freely through me, as well as surround me.♥️ ~Shaun
Loving Me
Happy Self-Love Saturday! Make sure you show yourself a little extra love today.
Today is Year51 and two months! Woohoo!!🎉 Laughing because unlike last year, I haven’t been keeping up with each milestone month beyond my 51st birthday. However, last year I made it a point to capture each one. Here’s what I shared a year ago while celebrating my Jubilee year.
Facebook/Threads: August 24, 2023
As I stated last year, I owe it to myself to become everything I ever imagined and dream, and I aim to do just that. Although I don’t feel like I am aging—y’all, I actually feel like I’m still 20/21—I do realize I am on the other side of 50. Meaning the next 50+ years I spoke of is possibly a beautiful reach. Knowing this, I plan to seize opportunities (the right ones on this side of 50—discernment on 10—no more wasting unnecessary time on things that don’t align with my purpose or dreams) like they’re my last. No more allowing opportunities to pass by in hopes of them rolling around again. Nah.. on this side I am truly living and taking in every single wonderful opportunity and experience God has for me. You wanna know why? It’s because God loves me and I love me, too.
Yes… I love me.🥰
This is all for now. Praying you have a wonderful weekend. Remember to shower yourself with lots of love.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Release It Into The Universe
Here’s a thought that I am so feeling at the moment—
Release whatever you desire from the universe into the universe. If love is what you desire, release love. If kindness, peace, and joy are what you desire, release them. Release them without conditions or expectations, and you’ll surely receive them back.♥️ ~Shaun
It’s Who You Are
Thought I’d piggyback off of my previous post, “Shifting Atmospheres”.
You, my friend, are an atmosphere shifter. Your presence radiates hope, love, peace, and kindness. People are drawn to your authenticity. Yes, they love you. It’s who you are.♥️ ~Shaun
I’m Living!
Good Morning! Five years ago, I asked myself if I was living or just existing. It’s one of my favorite lines from my fav’s movie, “The Family That Preys.” Back then, I had to really think about it. Honestly, I couldn’t fully say that I was. Well, today, that answer is “Baby, yes! I am definitely living!” As I have said so many times before, I am absolutely loving this side of 50! Y’all, it’s the best!♥️ ~Shaun
Here’s what else I found among my memories, pictures from my first BBD concert. I recently wrote about the tickets I won the day before my birthday in 2014. However, what I didn’t include—which I included in the book I wrote that morning but nixed at the last minute—was that I actually saw them in concert five years before and I spoke to Michael Bivins. And guess what?! He spoke back!!! AHHHHHH!!!😂😂😂😂😂 Y’all, I absolutely love my life!
Your Dreams Are Not Too Big
Good Morning! I have two Facebook memories to share. Couldn’t decide which I wanted to share most so I decided to share both. They were both shared six years ago, and from the order of my memories, I shared this one first.
Facebook Memory: August 19, 2018
“Today’s social media find! If you dream it, you can have it. Oftentimes it’s not other people. It’s our own self-doubt that holds us back. Whenever doubt tries to step in, shut it DOWN! Let doubt know you’ve got this!”
Then, the next post I shared, which was probably much later that day, was about a dream that didn’t come to fruition. Here’s what I shared.
Kofi Annan’s death hit me like Colin Powell’s did, very hard. They were two icons I really wanted to meet. Like, there are people you want to meet and there are people you need to meet. I felt as if I needed to meet them both and somehow missed the opportunity. Maybe our souls met lifetimes before that’s why I felt the need so strongly. Anyhoo… Even though I didn’t get to meet them, I did meet Leah Chase, who was at the top of my list of people to meet. My heart still smiles when I think of our brief encounter. So, dreams do come true. Maybe not all but the ones that are meant to, do. Smile
That’s all for now. Wishing you a lovely day and spectacular week!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Nothing Wasted
Nothing that you have gone through or are currently going through will be wasted. NOTHING! Not one thing!! How wonderful is that!
Here’s a word from my cousin, Joy. I pray it blesses you as much as it’s blessed me. Love you.♥️ ~Shaun
Everyone Can’t Handle Your Truth
This is so true. Everyone cannot handle our truths. It took me a very long time to realize this—basically, a lifetime. For years I believed people wanted to know the authentic version of me. I thought I could be free and open with people who seemed to like me. It took many heartbreaks and letdowns to learn that most people didn’t want to know the real me, they only wanted to interact with and know the version they could tolerate (not accept). This is why I only have a handful of close friends, and my closest get to experience all of me.
In one of my very first blog posts (June 2018) I wrote—
“It’s not easy being transparent in a world that glorifies what’s fake and shuns reality. Reality isn’t pretty. Reality shows vulnerability– the bumps, bruises and scars.”
This blog site, “It’s Shaun’s World,” was originally created to be a space where I could be authentic and transparent. I really wanted to share my world with others. However, over the years I learned to tone it down and only release bits and pieces of me in small doses. Not everyone likes happiness. Some don’t like quirkiness. And many don’t like when people share their vulnerabilities with the world. Those are things I guess are supposed be kept private or only shared with friends or a therapist. I believed people wanted to know the human side of people—because that’s what I want to get to know, the real—when in reality they only want a character.
Anyhoo… I could go on and on. Here’s what I shared two years ago.
Facebook Memory: August 16, 2022
“Being transparent has its limits. Our lives were never meant to be an open book for all to read. Knowing when, what and with whom to share is vital. Everyone can’t handle your truth.♥️”
Yes, unlike in 2018, I now know this is true. Everyone can’t handle my truth—which is the reason I sometimes write posts that I never share—even when they’re my true experiences. Not everyone would or could understand, and that’s okay.
Well, that’s my truth for now. I pray you have a lovely Friday and beautifully, blessed weekend. Love you!♥️
