What A Difference A Year Makes

Shaun Bradford

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.

Shared on November 23, 2021.

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.🥰

Expect Amazing Things To Happen

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

These past two weeks have taught me that even when my expectations are shattered, I still have to believe great things will happen.

Here’s what I shared two years ago.

The unexpected will be something wonderful.

Although life is unpredictable, I still expect amazing things to happen, and to happen for me. How about you? Do you expect them to happen for you?

I pray that you do.

Have a beautiful day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You Are Amazing!

Shaun Bradford

Here’s a post I shared in 2021. The message about worth is great, but it’s the hashtags for me!

Walk in your worth.

Live in your worth.

You ARE amazing!

And you are. You are absolutely amazing!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Are you walking and living in your worth? I pray that you are.🙏🏽

Late Post

Shaun Bradford

Just noticed I missed sharing an afternoon post!

Here’s something for you…

Love and be loved. You deserve to receive just as much love as you give.

Laugh often. Belly laughs are the best. I had a few today.

Live life to its fullest. Remember, you only have one life, make this one count.

Y’all, time passes so quickly. One day you’re in your 20s and the next you’re in your 50s.

Today, my best friend celebrated her 51st birthday. What a blessing.🙏🏽

I also discovered that today marks the 29th anniversary of the release of the “Waiting to Exhale” soundtrack (November 14, 1995). Boy, do I remember that soundtrack. “Sittin’ Up In My Room” by Brandy was my favorite song back then, followed by “Exhale” (the shoop song), by Whitney Houston.

Good music.

Good memories.

I pray you had a wonderful day, and that you’ll have a restful night.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Life…

Shaun Bradford

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

Be You

You were never created to fit in. Don’t tone down your presence to make others more comfortable. No… Stand in your fullest glory and be YOU!♥️

Love you,
