Your “Yes” to God set everything in motion.
Yes, it was YOUR “Yes.”
Love you much!♥️

It Was Your “Yes”

Treasure Your Gifts
Good Morning☀️
Treasure your gifts. Not gifts, as in talents, but the gifts—the people—God has placed in your life. They are irreplaceable and one of a kind. Whether for a season or a lifetime, God placed them in your life for a specific purpose that only they can fulfill. Never take them for granted. Life is much too short and precious not to treasure them.
As I mentioned last night, I was with my two hearts (daughter, 30, and son, 21). Words can’t even begin to describe the way I feel about them. As a child, I always longed to feel loved unconditionally and accepted for me. One of the things we talked about last night was me always dancing to the beat of my own drum. I never quite fit in, even when it came to my own family. I thought and moved differently. Not so differently that I didn’t blend in, but different enough to know I didn’t fit. Well, here I am 30 years later with two adult children, and I finally feel the love and acceptance I longed for. They’re not cookie cutters of me. As we often joke, we couldn’t be more different, but we’re so much alike. All three of us dance to our own beat, and we don’t judge. We embrace each other’s uniqueness.
Y’all, they are my gifts.🥰🥰
On another note—I know I never mentioned anything else about celebrating the 30–year breakthrough or rebirth I was experiencing leading up to my daughter’s birthday. I intentionally stopped celebrating when I noticed she had made her celebration mine. I explained to her that I had already lived and celebrated my 30th; the weekend and occasion were all hers. And we celebrated her! Yes, her birthday felt like a great release for me. I finally felt free to release myself from being a mother, provider, and caregiver to being me—a woman taking care of me.🦋
I pray you are treasuring your gifts. Also remember this too—something that took me far too long to realize—YOU are also a gift. Yes…YOU!
Have a beautifully, blessed day.♥️
I love you always,
Shaun

Hello Sunday
Good Morning☀️
“Love and be loved.”
“You are loved.”
“Love unconditionally.”
“I am love.”
“We are love.”
“God is love.”
“I love you.”
“I love you to the moon, stars, other galaxies and back.”
“Self-love is the best love.”
“Love yourself unconditionally.”
Over the past year, I have used the expressions above to spread the message of love. It’s said we must become what we want to see, and love is it. Love is what I want to see flowing throughout the world like God’s beautiful melody. It’s my hope that others see and feel God’s love through me. Even if the world never sings in perfect harmony, I must not give up hope that it just may. I must believe.
I pray you have an amazing day!
I love you like a beautiful melody feeling the air with joy.♥️

Yes, It’s Still Love Month
Good Morning☀️
Yes, I am still talking about love! Smile
I’ve shared the same image below since 2022. To continue with the “love” theme, I’m sharing it again today, along with two of my previous captions—the first is included in the screenshot.
Here’s the second caption, which was shared last year.
Feeling a bit nostalgic this morning. Taking it back to when times seemed simpler. When love seemed simpler. But what would I know? I was only around four or five when “When Somebody Loves You Back,” was released.🤭 Let’s just say I felt the love Teddy was singing about. It was between this song and L.T.D.’s “Love Ballad.” I’m a 70’s baby, of course I love “LOVE.”☺️
When I shared last year’s post as an Instagram story, I included Teddy Pendergrass’ “When Somebody Loves You Back.” As you can see, I was torn between it and another 70’s favorite, L.T.D.’s “Love Ballad.” I remember my granddaddy playing L.T.D.’s eight track while driving his midnight blue L.T.D. I was so intrigued by the fact that they were both L.T.D.s that I never forgot either—not even the color of his car. Great memories.☺️
As I said in my caption from last year, “I’m a 70’s baby, of course I love “LOVE.”☺️” It’s who I am, and this year I’m embracing it. I am a lover and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said—
“Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.”
Let’s light up the world with LOVE!♥️
I love you,
Shaun
Just Be Yourself
A couple of years ago, I started sharing “Self-Love Saturday” videos on TikTok. I’ve been debating on whether or not to continue sharing them on TikTok or begin sharing them on my YouTube channel. We shall see.
Anyhoo…
It’s Self-Love Saturday and the day after Valentine’s Day. Be sure to do something extra special for yourself. Me—I’m going to go buy myself some discounted flowers and candy. Smile
Listen, life is too short to keep waiting for things to happen. Always make the best of your life as it is now. There’s so much beauty in NOW!
Just be YOU!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Stay Focused: One Decision Can Change Your Life
Good Morning☀️
Since Facebook grouped these two stories together, I decided to share the Facebook memories from each one.
Simple message, yet it is often difficult to do until all noise is blocked—both externally and internally.
All it takes is ONE decision for our entire life to change. What may seem like a small decision today could actually be one of the greatest decisions of our lifetime.
Message—
We must stay focused so when it’s time to make those life-changing decisions, we won’t hesitate to make them.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Miracle
Good Morning☀️
Woke up with this song playing in my head, and the more I looked for something else to share, the louder the song became. So, I already knew what it meant—I needed to share it. Hopefully, it blesses you.
I pray you have a wonderful Saturday! Remember to show yourself a little extra love today.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
“Miracle” by Whitney Houston
Lyrics: MusixMatch
How could I throw away a miracle?
How could I face another day?
It’s all of my doing, I made a choice
And today, I pay
My heart is full of pain
How could you understand, the way I feel?
How could you relate to so much pain?
Seems as though nothing can comfort me
So today, I pray
That someone should listen, for
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours
There’s a miracle in store
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
A voice of love is crying out
Don’t throw love away
There’s a miracle in store
How could I let go of a miracle?
Nothing could ever take its place
Thought I was looking, out for myself
Now it seems the pain
Is all that I have gained
I wonder if I could be your miracle
I wonder if I could spare you pain
Seems as though nothing will comfort me
Lord, less today, I pray
That you should come listen, for
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours
There’s a miracle in store
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
A voice of love is crying out
Don’t throw love away
There’s a miracle in store
Don’t ever throw away your miracle
Don’t let it slip away
For nothing should matter
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours
There’s a miracle in store
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
A voice of love is crying out
Don’t throw love away
There’s a miracle in store, oh
For you, yeah
Leave Your Worries With God
Good Morning☀️
Eight years ago, I was listening to The Winans and Anita Baker’s “Ain’t No Need To Worry.” The song says (Lyrics: LyricFind)—
Ain’t no need in worrying
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
There’s a fear of night fall,
when darkeness comes and covers all the day.
Sometimes we feel pain,
but there are things that we can change, just pray.
Ain’t no need to worry,
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
Troubles come, but they do past,
heartaches, hurts, oh but, they don’t last always.
Sometimes we feel pain,
but there are things that we can change, just pray.
Ain’t no need to worry,
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
In the morning, the morning,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
It’ll be all over in the morning.
Makes no different how dark the night,
if you trust in God, it’ll be alright;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).
It makes no difference how long the day,
trust in God, He’ll make a way;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).
Weeping will last, but only for awhile,
but when the sun shines, you’ll wear a smile;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).
And I say, thank you Jesus,
in the presence of all those who hear my voice;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).
In the morning, the morning,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
It’ll be all over in the morning.
I needed this reminder that trouble doesn’t always last and that God is with us even when we’re experiencing pain. He’s a good God.
I pray you have a lovely day.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
