My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Good Morning!

“I can hear James Cleveland’s choir singing:
‘God is the joy and the strength of my life. He removes all pain, misery and strife. He promised to keep me. Never to leave me. He’ll never ever fall short of His word… God is my all and all.’ Amen”
Yes, God is my all and all. Praying you have a blessed day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
One of the reasons I check my Facebook memories daily is because I get to see past interactions from loved ones who have passed on. Reading their comments or just seeing their names pop up on the screen makes me feel like they’re still here. They’re just far away. This is also why I don’t delete all of my text messages or voicemails (I always hold on to 2-3). When I need to hear their voices or read their last words, I can. So blessed to have had them in my life.♥️ ~Shaun
Hello! I am still thinking about my previous post. Even though we should place our hearts in God’s hands, we must also do as instructed—guard our hearts. Y’all, guarding our hearts isn’t something we should do passively. It’s something that we must do actively and strategically. It’s on us to actively monitor what we allow in and what we allow to be taken. It’s up to us to say, “Nah, I won’t allow that in my space.” Not just physical space but headspace. Or say, “I allowed it in but I won’t allow it to take my… joy, peace, or love (feel free to add whatever you like) with it when it leaves.”
Actively guard your heart.
Our hearts are the source of life, encompassing love, peace, joy, happiness, kindness, compassion, empathy, passion, and even our dreams. We must, at all costs, protect it.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Good Morning! Six years ago, I wrote, “When the heart hurts, life seems to stop.” Not sure why I felt this so deeply. Again, when the heart hurts, life seems to stop. You continue to move forward but something inside of you stops flourishing. Yeah…that’s deep.
Proverbs 4:23 says— “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
Everything we do flows from our hearts.
A few days ago, I wrote, “Protect your heart but let love in.” Although difficult, I believe it’s possible to do both when we place our hearts in God’s hands. Of course heartbreak will hurt, and life in some capacity will stop flourishing, but God has a way of soothing us until we heal and begin to flourish again. I truly believe this. We must believe this or life will stop.
Here’s the entire post from six years ago.

“Guard your heart. When the heart hurts, life seems to stop. I’ve found the best way to guard your heart is to put it in God’s hands. Disappointments will come; however, God has a way of making everything better. His love is so soothing. That’s why I love my God.
The entire scripture reads, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”- NIV”
Remember, everything we do flows from our heart—both good and bad, whether intentional or not. Guard your heart.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Wait.
That’s the answer.
Be still and wait.
Yes, it’s uncomfortable.
Yes, you feel like you’re stagnant.
Yes, it seems like you could and should be doing more.
Yet, the answer is “Wait.”
So, wait.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Hello, again! Here’s the polished version of the Facebook post I shared six years ago (see previous post, “Where’s Your Mind These Days”).
Facebook Memory: August 13, 2022
“Whatever OR whoever controls your thoughts controls you. Don’t believe me? Watch your actions. Whether noticeable to others or not, your actions will always tell the truth.♥️”
Whew, now that’s some truth! In my earlier post I asked, “Where’s your mind nowadays?”
Well… Where is it?
Is it where it was ten years ago? How about a year ago?
Change your mindset and your life will change.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!
Honestly, I don’t have much more to add to what I wrote six years ago. All I can say is it’s true, your life will follow whatever dominates or preoccupies your mind. Change your mindset and your life will change.
Sooo…
Where’s your mind nowadays?
Definitely something worth assessing, right?
I shiver at the thought of waking up six years from now and being in the same place or headspace.
Don’t you?
♥️
Shaun
Thankful, grateful, and blessed.♥️ ~Shaun
When I shared this message on TikTok, I added the song, “Grateful,” by Hezekiah Walker.
Flowing from my heart is gratefulness.
Good Morning!
From what I have seen and heard through others’ testimonies, as well as a few of my own life experiences, no matter how long it takes, your dreams and goals will eventually come to pass.
Eventually…
Honestly, sometimes eventually sounds like never.
If you’re still waiting on eventually to come, I have a few questions for you—
1) Are you still working towards your dreams and goals even if you have mentally checked out?
2) Are you willing to make the necessary sacrifices to attain them?
Last one, which is one I’ve asked myself—
3) Do you actually want to achieve your dreams and goals? Basically, are they your dreams or someone else’s, or are they things you no longer want to have/do?
Here’s what I shared two years ago.

Your dreams and goals ARE attainable. Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
Dig deep! If you REALLY want it, make the sacrifices and work for it!♥️
Your dreams and goals are attainable. Don’t give up!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Great reminder! Those who truly love you will accept you just as you are.♥️ ~Shaun
