Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Today’s blog is composed of two Facebook posts from June 6, 2019. When I first began sharing my Facebook memories and excerpts from journal entries, I felt like a lazy blogger. Then it finally dawned on me that I’ve already put in the work on the backend so why not share them.

The first post is Be Ready, and the second, Forever A Princess.

Be Ready

If you’re like me, you ask God for things praying they come to pass. However, after facing numerous setbacks you begin doubting things will ever work out in your favor. But in the back of your mind you know God is ALWAYS working behind the scenes. You’ve actually witnessed His work through others’ blessings. You don’t hate. You rejoice with them and tell yourself, “One day that will be me.” Well, while you’re watching and waiting, are you preparing? If not, you better be because when God starts moving, He moves fast! #BeReady

Forever A Princess

Happy Thursday! Here’s today’s social media find. As I celebrate my 46th birthday month, I’m still trying to figure out what I truly want to do in life. I just can’t see myself doing the same exact thing for the rest of my life.

Although my life is forever evolving, the kind of woman I’ve always wanted to be hasn’t changed. I am the woman I envisioned as a little girl– strong, loving, compassionate, empathetic, passionate, spontaneous yet cautious, adventurous, love challenges… The list goes on and on. Honestly, I love who I am. I know 5 year old Shaun would be proud of her 45 year old self. Yeah, she would love me!

Oh, and I’m still a princess even though everyone around me believes I should refer to myself as a queen.🙄 No… I’m a princess.

Hope you enjoyed my memories. They always make me smile. Wishing you a wonderful week. Stay safe and be blessed.

Shaun

Be mindful of who and what you allow into your space.

I don’t usually blog twice in one day, but I feel the need to get this one out. As most of you know, I took a break from social media. Well, over the last week or so, I’ve gradually logged back onto each account. Up until a short while ago, everything was going well– or so I thought. What started out with what I felt was a positive, innocent video ended with another video filled with negative energy. Y’all, the first video wheeled me in. The second one left me feeling drained and in a negative mood.

I began this blog by saying be mindful of what you allow into your space. Truthfully, I knew long before I watched the first video that this particular Instagram account was filled with negativity. Most of the people I follow on this account rarely have anything good to share. Yet, I follow them because they always post the latest news. Well, after tonight’s experience, I now know it’s time to unfollow a few people. Y’all, my peace is way too valuable to lose. I’m so thankful for clarity!

By the way, my birthday month is finally here!! As usual, I’m celebrating all month long.

Good Night!
