They say to pick and choose your battles. How about choosing peace instead.
Yes… Choose peace.🙏🏽
I pray you had a wonderful day, and wishing you a pleasant night.♥️

Today’s A New Day
Good Morning!☀️
Today’s a new day—a fresh start. It’s an opportunity to do things better than I did yesterday. Today, I will be kind to myself, and I will give myself grace and space to be human…because I am human.☺️
On another note…
I will be changing my posting schedule to allow for a few more hours of sleep. For years, my most productive time has been early morning, so my current schedule worked. However, now that I have more activities scheduled throughout the day, I must make sure I have enough energy and rest to accomplish them. I’m not as young as I used to be (I’m just facing the facts) and need to adjust accordingly. I must be able to perform at my best at all times. No half-stepping!
Well, this is all I have for now. Thank you for reading. I’m not sure what my new posting schedule will look like, just know that there will always be a “Good Morning” post because I love good mornings.
Love you!♥️

Good Night (31)
“When you need to rest, rest. Rest before your body forces you to rest.” That’s the advice I give others.
Why is it so much easier to give advice than to take it? A few months ago, I was supposed to start going to bed earlier (before 11:00 PM) and logging off social media at least 30 minutes prior, but I only did it for a few days. Well, starting today, and I am so serious, I am taking my own advice about getting more sleep and rest. I have to take better care of myself. Oh…and my son agrees. He just came into my room and told me I needed to put my phone down and go to sleep. Laughing. If no one else will hold me accountable, he surely will.
Good night, y’all! I got this! Longevity and great health is the name of this game. I plan to be here for several more decades and be healthy.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Be Kind To Yourself
A little bit of kindness goes a long way. Have you been kind to yourself lately?
Remember to be kind and gentle with yourself. Nothing in life ever remains the same. You are growing and evolving like everyone else and deserve just as much grace. So please, be kind to yourself.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 30
Was feeling some kind of way for not feeling bad about a situation. Was beginning to think I was being heartless. Even stopped what I was doing to check myself. Decided to read a past journal entry written on this day and the message I needed was right there as plain as day!
Here’s what I wrote on December 2, 2017—
“The lesson I learned is never fight more for someone than they are willing to fight for themselves. NEVER!”
On that particular day, I was putting my career on the line for someone who didn’t even want to work with us. I assumed he was being treated unfairly. Come to find out he was doing the bare minimum and couldn’t wait to leave.
Sometimes when people aren’t fighting for themselves it’s not because they don’t know how, sometimes it’s because they don’t want to. Do what you can, then step back and let them continue on their own. If they want to succeed, believe me, they will.♥️

Your Health Matters
I know it’s Thanksgiving and most aren’t thinking about health or healthy anything; however, your health still matters. Not only am I speaking about physical health, but mental and emotional health as well. Be mindful of what you put in your body (enjoy, but eat in moderation) and who you allow in your space (separate yourself from people and things that causes you stress). Prioritizing your health is of utmost importance.
That’s all. Carry on with your wonderful day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
What A Difference A Year Makes
Good Morning☀️
So much has happened since last year. Around this time last year, I was experiencing what I considered a spiritual pruning while also trying to adjust to life on this side of 50. The only definite thing was that I knew these next 50 years had to be different from the last.
Here’s what I shared last year.
After asking myself the same question from a few years ago—am I someone who has fully embraced my true, authentic self?—the answer is “yes.” A year ago, I was close but not entirely there. Today, I can confidently say that I have fully embraced all of myself while still growing and evolving—as we know, both are continuous. As I have mentioned several times this year, I love this space I’m in—living life, loving God, and dancing to the beats (because there are many) of my own drum.
Y’all, I wanted this side of 50 to be different, and it truly is.♥️
I am beyond blessed.🥰

Life…
Good Morning!☀️
Setbacks.
Plot twists.
Storms.
Life lifeing.
Exhale… Yes, let it all out.
Below is a reblog of my “Wednesday Writings” written on October 26, 2022. Honestly, I am not quite sure what storm or plot twist, as I called it, I was going through. However, I do know I survived it.
Y’all, by the grace of God I am still here and still standing after the countless storms I have been through. I’m so glad God never left me, and that He gave me the strength to endure the pain of whatever I was going through in those seasons.
I pray that whatever setback, storm, plot twist, or life experience you may be currently going through ends soon, very soon, so you’re able to smile, rejoice, and enjoy the goodness of life. Listen, don’t allow your current situation to make you give up hope or change your outlook on life. Where you are today is not where you will stay. You deserve a beautiful, stress-free, pain-free, storm-free life, and you will have one.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
