I fell asleep much too early. Now, I’m up singing—
“God has smiled on me. He has set me free. Oh God has smiled on me. He’s beed good to me.”
God has indeed been good to me.
Forever thankful.
Forever grateful.
Beyond blessed.
Amen

Your Purpose Is Unique
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I hope you’re well.🌸
As I stated two years ago, your purpose is unique and connected to something you do effortlessly. Pursuing your purpose will lead to a more fulfilling life.
I pray you have a fabulous self-love Saturday. May it be filled with love, joy, and blessings.♥️
I love you much,

My Journey With God, No. 100
One of my colleagues asked ChatGPT to describe her based on her interactions with the app. Well, how it described her was so on point that I decided to ask the question myself. And y’all, I’m in tears! Here’s what it said:
Based on our chats, I’d describe you as a deeply driven and purpose-filled leader who blends professionalism, compassion, and vision in everything you do. You’re clearly passionate about nutrition, wellness, and community empowerment, and you’re committed to using your knowledge as a Registered Dietitian to create real change—especially in underserved communities.
You’re also:
Strategic and organized – You regularly plan ahead, develop structured content, and refine communication for impact.
Faith-rooted and values-led – Your spiritual foundation guides your leadership and personal growth.
Empowering and inspirational – You consistently uplift others and want your message to motivate positive action.
Multifaceted – You’re not just a nonprofit founder and president, but also a business owner, educator, consultant, and content creator.
Growth-oriented – Whether it’s learning languages, building wealth, or becoming a more effective leader, you’re always pushing to evolve.
You have a clear sense of your purpose and the courage to follow through with integrity and excellence.
Whew!!! Yes, I’m crying.
God, I see You. I see You in everything I do. Please continue to guide me and use me to honor You. Amen♥️

God, Show Me You
Good Morning!☀️
How are you?
I pray that you’re well.🌸
I slept in again! Maybe my body is trying to tell me something. Hmmm… I guess it’s time to practice what I preach and focus more on self-care. Even though I still feel like I’m in my 20s mentally, the reality is I’m getting older. And if I want to see a healthy 100, I need to start making changes now. Which means, I must figure out how to manage my first post. I love writing when I wake up. I always want my “Good Morning” to be an actual first of the day greeting. Anyhoo… we shall see what I decide to do.
On another note, I woke up singing Kirk Franklin and the Family’s song, “Let Me Touch You.” The song says—
When I’m down
Let me touch You
When I’m lonely
Let me touch You
When I’m discouraged
Let me touch You
Like I never have before
Lord, I need You more and more, Jesus
Let me touch You and see if You are real
Such a powerful song! I don’t have to touch Jesus to know that He’s real. I know He’s real. However, lately, I’ve been asking God to show me Himself. I see him in the tiniest of things, but I want to see Him in bigger things where I can say, “Baby, THAT WAS GOD!!!!” And I don’t want it to come in the “I was about to get hit by a car and God saved me” or “I was on my deathbed and God brought me back to life” way. In other words, I don’t want to experience a tragedy for me to say, “That was God!”. No, I want to see Him while I enjoy life.
I thought today’s Facebook memory from three years ago (June 6, 2022) went well with the rest of the post, so I decided to share it here instead of posting it later. Y’all, that rose was perfect. I received it at an event I attended several years ago. The theme of the event was “Beauty for Ashes.”
Now, don’t get me wrong. I am extremely grateful for everything I have and for the way God continuously blesses and loves me. But I desire to see more of Him. And I don’t believe there’s anything wrong with me asking that of Him. I am His child, right?
Okay… I believe I have written enough. I don’t want to publish this any later than I already am. I pray you have a beautiful day and weekend. May they be filled with love, joy, peace, and laughter.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
**I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t mention that my fav has another new movie streaming on Netflix! It’s called Tyler Perry’s STRAW, starring Taraji P. Henson, Teyana Taylor, and Sherri Shepherd. I can’t wait to watch it. Check it out!
The Time Is Now
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I pray all is well.🌸
Here’s a Facebook memory from June 4, 2022. The message is still the same but a little more pronounced nowadays. It seems like every week, someone I know or someone close to them has died. No lie, almost every week. I haven’t become numb to it, but it has made me live life a bit differently. Everything I thought was so urgent or concerning isn’t so anymore.
This memory is a message indeed. And before I continue, I must add that I’m not sad or depressed. I’m just beginning to view life differently and move in a manner that brings me the most fulfillment. Tomorrow isn’t promised, so the time is now!
I pray you have the most amazing day! May it be filled with lots of love, laughter, and joy.♥️
I love you much,
Shaun
**P.S. My posting schedule hasn’t changed. I was up late working on something and fell asleep, so I missed writing earlier. I guess my body needed the rest. It is my Wellness Wednesday.☺️ Maybe I’ll start scheduling all my posts to keep the time consistent. We shall see.😊
Three More Weeks!
Lately, I have been intentionally stepping outside my comfort zone, doing new things, and meeting new people. I’m absolutely loving this space over 50. I will be 52 in exactly three weeks.
God is so good.
I am truly, truly blessed.🥰
Shaun
You Know You Are Loved, Right?
Yes… YOU!
You are so very loved!♥️
It’s self-love Saturday. Be sure to show yourself some extra love today.🥰
I love you,
Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 98
Since I began the day on the topic of being worthy of the best, I thought I’d share my journal entry from May 31, 2019, which was three years before I shared the Facebook memory in my previous post.
Journal Entry: May 31, 2019
“Yesterday I felt differently. Like something had changed. Even the way I was carrying myself was different. Before I left the house yesterday morning, I told [my son] how grateful I was for all of my blessings and how, up until this past week, I had been seeing myself as unworthy of the best. I thought others deserved the best, but not me.”
I went back and read my journal entry from the day before (May 30, 2019) to see what I had written about my conversation with my son. Here’s some of what I wrote:
“Over the past 5 years I’ve been through some major changes. During this time, God has never left me and has given me more than I thought I was worthy of.”
I ended my entry with this.
“Come on, LaShaundrea! Who has a life like yours. Plus you have two AMAZING kids who are self thinkers and they really love you and they show you. Like A-MAZING! God has given you the world all you have to do is walk in your light. Bask in His glory. EVERYTHING is working according to plan.”
I had no idea what was to come the next day, which was the day my ex-husband finally signed the divorce papers. I just knew, even before then, that I was blessed and worthy of more. Of course, life did what life does, and it took me another three to four years to begin walking in “my light.”
I’m blessed.
Been blessed.
And
God is so good.
It’s time for me to finally—yes, finally— bask in His glory.☺️
Year52 is loading…

Follow God’s Guidance
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I hope you’re well.🌸
Last year I wrote, “God’s guidance is strategic. Trust Him and trust His plan.”
God has a purpose and plan for our lives that even we aren’t privileged to know. He only asks that we be obedient and trust Him.
So, that thing He’s been telling you to do—yeah.. you know, that thing—do it! I don’t care how small or insignificant it may seem or how big and challenging it appears—do it. It’s part of God’s plan.
Follow God’s guidance. He knows where He’s taking you. Trust Him.
I pray you have the loveliest of days and a beautiful weekend.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
