Love is beautiful, and it’s always around us. Sometimes we just have to look a little harder to find it, but it’s always here. Now, hate is going to be hate and try to destroy everything love has built. However, love will always win. Love you!♥️ ~ Shaun

It’s quite evident that hate is in the air. However, love is also in the air. Today, let’s focus on love.
Give it. Receive it. Embrace it.
Yes, it’s all about LOVE. Is it just me or can you also hear Earth, Wind & Fire singing #AllAboutLove.♥️
♥️
As you can see, back then I could hear Earth, Wind, and Fire singing, “All About Love.” It’s not one of their popular songs, but the words are deep. Definitely worth a listen.
“I pray that I never get to a point where I forget to acknowledge God’s mercy, love and grace. Y’all, every time I think about how wonderful He’s been to me throughout my lifetime, I become emotional. If you only knew!🙌🏽 EVERYTHING I have, I owe to Him. I’m blessed.”
Y’all, I am so very blessed. I never want to lose sight of how truly blessed I am. Everything I have and am is because of God.
Blessed … Beyond Blessed
Over the years, I have changed my graphics numerous times. I believe this particular one is from 2018. Now, I’m on a simplistic, clean kick. Not sure what’s next. Currently—No image, only the message and my name, making it more personal.Bold statement with my artwork as the background. It was mostly about the art.I was on a gold kick for a while. Still love it but it was a bit much. The gold, again.☺️And… again. This is me!🥰
That’s all for now. I pray that you have a wonderful weekend.♥️
Yesterday, I had lunch with a friend and we were talking about how things have happened in our lives since we’ve been adults. She was saying how she never had plans for her life. That everything in her life happened by chance.
Well, my story was quite different. I had plans for almost every aspect of my life. Then, one mistake (what I considered a mistake—having sex without being married) changed the entire trajectory of my life. Not only did it throw a whole wrench in my plans, it messed me up mentally. Honestly, I didn’t know how to recover. Everything I had imagined was shot (so I believed). So, every decision made afterwards was based on that one “mistake.” Shame is a beast!
After my life and plans began to crumble, I decided to do something drastically different. I woke up one morning and decided to join the Air Force. I made that decision, or took that leap, without an ounce of fear or a second thought. Same thing when I finally decided to get a divorce. At first, I was too afraid to leave because I had no idea how I would survive on my own. Then, one day I wasn’t afraid anymore. It was the same when I resigned from my job. I had no fear.
What I am trying to say is when you’re really ready to take the leap you’ll do it, and you won’t be afraid. Maybe nervous, but not afraid. For me, those moments of decision were the most peaceful and clearest. Listen, people can talk until they’re blue in the face trying to motivate you to do something you’re not ready for, and you may even try, but it’s not until you’re actually ready that you’ll take the leap without fear or regret.
Anyhoo… here’s the real post. Guess I felt like writing. Smile. Take the leap…when you’re ready. And you’ll know when you’re ready because all fear will be gone.♥️
Love you,
Shaun

Listen, it took me a while to take the leap. Had been feeling it for years. Had so many excuses why I couldn’t. How I couldn’t make it without having support, without a clear direction or plan. Then, one day, the fear was gone. Like completely GONE. That’s when I took the leap. Has it been easy? Not at all! However, it was so worth it! I DO NOT regret it at all!! Y’all, three years ago I couldn’t even envision this. But GOD DID!!🙌🏽
I know there are more leaps to come; and when they do, I won’t be as hesitant to take the leaps.
For the past few years, I have share the same message, “You. Will. Win.” Well, today I am going to switch it up a bit. Instead of waiting for the win, how about declaring you have already won. You are here, breathing, and blessed; and you have the opportunity to make today better than yesterday. Which, in my eyes, makes you a winner. So, celebrate!♥️ ~ Shaun
On July 23, 2019, I wrote the following (shared the entire post in the screenshot below), “I’m learning that opportunities do come around more than once, just repackaged.” Well, this is absolutely true. As with issues we don’t properly handle—you know the ones that keep resurfacing in different ways—opportunities do come back around, often in a different form. Well… sometimes we actually get the same exact opportunity—not repackaged in a different way, but exactly the same.
Now, five years ago and even up until recently, I actually believed once a door (opportunity) was closed, it was closed. Boy was I wrong! What I am learning is God closes some doors until we are better equipped to handle what’s on the other side. Not only am I watching this unfold in my own life, but I am watching it happen with Vice President Kamala Harris. Y’all, it’s the same exact door (opportunity).
With this being said, know that closed doors (opportunities) do reopen. Yes, they actually do! So, don’t give up. Keep doing what you are doing and when the time is right it will reopen, and you won’t even have to knock on it. The door will just open. Don’t you just love how God works.Smiling
That’s all for now. Wishing you a magnificent day!♥️
