I’m Here, Part 2
Y’all, God is so good! Yesterday, when I shared my “I’m Here” post, I had no idea Bishop T. D. Jakes had preached a similar message on Wednesday. As I said yesterday, the image and message I shared was based on me searching through my pictures on my phone for the word “here.” I had no idea there was so much more God wanted to share with me. Whew!!
Since God shared this message with me, I’m sharing it with you. I hope it blesses you as much as it blessed me.♥️
Y’all, I’m STILL here!!

My Journey With God, No. 77
Good Morning☀️ It’s Self-love Saturday and I decided to sleep in.😌 I hope you decided to do the same.💕
Here’s what I wrote six years ago—
When I tell you this Facebook memory is so timely! Although it’s been six years, I feel it more than ever today. You see, next Saturday, I will be attending our state’s annual dietetics conference, where I will be introduced as the incoming president for 2025–2026.
Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel at the moment. Seems like I have been going nonstop since taking on the role of president-elect. So much has changed since I was last president (2016–2017), and even more is changing now that our government is moving in a different direction. We are a nonpartisan organization and have to move as such. Meaning, my personal feelings and opinions have to take a backseat during this ride. It’s a lot, but I’m up for the challenge. As I have asked myself so many times throughout my adult life, “How did I get here?” Laughing. My life and its adventures. As Mario from Mario Bros. would say, “Here we go!”
Honestly, who would have thought I wasn’t done with this part of my life? If I didn’t know it then, I can certainly say it now, this role is a significant part of my dream and future endeavors. I’m not sure where God is taking me—ONLY He knows—but I’m here for it!♥️
Stay tuned…

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

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
