Hold on. God is working. He’s already set things in motion. Listen, you cannot afford to give up now.♥️
It’s true, you cannot afford to give up. Your purpose is much too great.
My friend, push through; pray through; but whatever you do, please do not throw in the towel. Do not settle for where you are, thinking this is it, this is how life is meant to be. Nope! God has many more years of blessings planned for your life. Just hold on a little while longer. I promise you, God is working everything out. You will get through this.♥️
Below is a quote by motivational speaker, Dr. Cheryl Wood. I shared it on this date five years ago (March 13, 2019). Back then, I was definitely hiding. Didn’t want to be noticed. Little did I realize I wasn’t just hiding myself from the world, but I was hiding my gifts. I was downplaying my purpose and calling. Well…no more!
I AM HERE!

Are you hiding your brilliance or downplaying your gifts? If so, today is the day to stop! Today is your day to come out of hiding and SHINE!
Here’s today’s Facebook memory from my Nutrition with LaShaundreaB page:
Y’all, I needed to see this memory today. Earlier, I saw where Tabitha Brown had shared a couple of posts from years ago, years before she became well known. One of her messages was, “Never stop DREAMING!!” She shared it on March 1, 2011, thirteen years ago!
As I said, I needed to see this memory today. Y’all, I haven’t shared any food pictures or made any cooking videos in months. Honestly, I had decided to let that dream go. I felt like it was taking too much time and focus away from things that I should have been focusing on. Same with drawing. Whew. I have so many decisions to make. Do I follow my passions now, or put them off until later? I really wish I was superwoman and could do it all. Life…
Here’s the video that I had made showing me preparing the salad. I had shared it as a Facebook reel, but for some reason the link won’t work on here. And for some crazy reason I didn’t share it on Instagram. Anyhoo…here’s the YouTube short.

Yeah… I definitely needed to see this today. God is so good. As Tabitha said all those years ago, we should never stop dreaming. She didn’t and now she’s living in hers.
When I tell you Year50 is doing a number on me! But it is what I asked for, right? If I want the next 50+ to be different, I have to do something different. Which means I have to focus on what I desire the next 50 years to be like, and can’t continue doing what was comfortable the last 50.
Ultimately, God is in control and His plans reign supreme. I trust Him, completely.
Here are a few other things I have learned over this short period of time:
Life is going to happen. I can try to manage it but I cannot control it.
Suppressing my feelings only delays progress. In order to truly move forward, I have to feel and be honest about my feelings.
Not to panic when things are not going according to my plan. It only means that God has something different in mind or He’s working a few things out.
Today, God is still in control, and I do trust His plans—whatever they may be (tired of trying to figure them out). Honestly, I am beginning to believe not knowing what God is doing is best. Yep, I’d rather not rack my brain trying to figure things out because I have 1) discovered it’s only a waste of time, 2) it’s a waste of emotional and mental energy, and 3) I can never predict what will happen (plot twists on 10!). So, yes, I’m going to leave my life in God’s hands and allow Him to do His job. I know whatever He has planned will ultimately be in my favor (because He loves me), better than I imagined (again, because He loves me), and all for His glory and purpose. Yes, it’s all about Him.
Praying you have a lovely day and wonderful week. Love you!♥️
