Unconditional Love Begins Within
Happy Self-Love Saturday!
I spent decades yearning for someone to love me for me. To love all of me unconditionally. To love me not only when I was at my best, but when I was at my worst—insecure, unmotivated, feeling ugly, and unsure of myself. To love me when I did not make the best decisions. To love me through both good and bad times. Just to love me.
Well, I have finally realized and accepted I am that person I spent years searching for. I had to learn to love myself not only when I was up, but also when I was down. Had to learn to stop criticizing and beating myself up over mistakes and bad decisions. Yeah, I had to love and accept all of me.
I am so very thankful I finally—took forever—found me.♥️ ~ Shaun

You deserve unconditional love, and there is no better person to give it to you than yourself.♥️

Year 45 Month 8 (February 24, 2019)
Smiling as I think about how far I have come. I actually love who I am—without filters, without trying to fit in, without criticizing myself, without trying to change who I am, without seeking validation from others. I love the woman God created. I am truly His child.
When I originally shared this, I was actually trying to encourage myself to embrace all of me. However, it wasn’t until this year, Year50, that I actually did it. I embraced ALL of me. As I said in my previous post, this has been some year! Not the year I thought it would be, but the year I needed it to be. I’m blessed.♥️ ~Shaun

Happy Sunday! Here’s today’s social media find. During different stages of my life, I found myself trying to fit in. I didn’t realize that being different was a blessing, not a curse. I’m not going to lie, I still struggle with the fact that I don’t fit in most circles. Guess you can say I’m more like an octagon.😉😁 Multifaceted. I am rare. I’m exactly how God made me. If you find yourself feeling down because you’re not quite like others, remember, you’re God’s child. You’re exactly who you’re supposed to be. Don’t try to change to fit in. Embrace your uniqueness!
It’s My Birthday Again!
Yes, today is 50 years 8 months!! Woohoo!!
Honestly, today is the first day in my Jubilee celebration that I actually feel like doing something special. Y’all, the first several months of my 50th were no joke. From attempting to celebrate my actual birthday without grieving my mom’s death to being determined to make this side of 50 different, I was going through. Then, the pruning, pulling, peeling, and prodding I experienced afterwards was like nothing I had experienced before. Felt like I was in some kind of spiritual/growth boot camp. Today, I feel like I’m finally approaching graduation.
Four more months until Year51! I have to admit I’m kind of sad my year long celebration is coming to an end. It wasn’t what I expected; however, it was definitely what I needed to make this half of my century different…better. I am so glad God does not always give us what we want, but He always gives us what we need. Amen
That’s all I have at the moment. I believe almost a third (more like a quarter) of my posts this week have been original. Hopefully next week will be better. By the way, I watched Tyler Perry’s Mea Culpa last night and now I know what paint scene everyone was referring to. I was like I think I’ve been doing this painting thing all wrong. Laughing. It was a good movie. Didn’t expect the ending at all. Have to watch it again.♥️

Living The Life I Imagined
Every time I share this quote, I am reminded that I am living the life I imagined.

And so, she decided to start living the life she’d always imagined.
Author Unknown
The last time I shared this quote was a little over 2 years ago. Back then I thought I was living the life I had always imagined. Little did I know that was only the beginning. I’m not sure if I’m quite there yet, but it definitely feels like it. That’s what peace will do for you. God is good.
Now, here I am two years later (2024), again saying I am living the life I have always imagined. Of course, there is so much more to what I imagined, so many more aspirations and dreams to achieve. However, here and now, and even back then, the life I imagined was about peace and freedom. Basically, the freedom to walk in my truth; create my own path; and embrace my uniqueness. It’s about setting boundaries and creating an environment that fosters peace and love. Therefore, I am living the life I imagined.
I pray you are living the life you have always imagined or getting there. Wishing you a beautiful day. Love you always!♥️
