A Shift in the Atmosphere

Not sure if it’s only happening in my life, but there is a shift happening. A huge shift in the atmosphere. Y’all, something big is taking place. I feel it with my entire being.

When I said I feel differently since turning 50, y’all, I actually feel differently. It’s exciting, but also a little unsettling. Mainly because I have absolutely no idea of what’s coming. All I know is I must continue trusting God while allowing Him to lead.

Staying focused and present while praying …

Remain Optimistic

Good things do happen.

Dreams do come true.

It is possible to love and be loved unconditionally.

Beauty can be found in even the darkest moments.

Do not allow anyone to convince you otherwise.

Keep hope alive by remaining optimistic.♥️ ~Shaun

Living From a Space and Place of Love & Gratitude

Sitting here watching Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday interview with Maya Angelou. I have only seen snippets of it before. Now I’m watching the entire episode. Y’all, I feel her. Gratitude and love are EVERYTHING! If you have not watched it, here’s the link. It is so worth watching– Maya Angelou Super Soul Sunday Interview.

Loving life. Loving the place I’m in. Living from a space of gratitude and love. Staying present while residing in peace.

This is my world, this is my life…

I Gave In

Soooo….

I’m now on Threads! Yes, I’m finally there. I was so hesitant because I did not want to get sucked down another rabbit hole. However, when I found out I could share links, I was sold. Now I can finally share my blogs with my IG family.

Let’s see where this goes!💛

Speak Life

Happy Tuesday!

Woke up with the song, “Be Encouraged,” playing over and over in my head. Not long afterwards, I checked my Facebook memories and low and behold look at what popped up!

Be encouraged. Know that your labor is not in vain. Amen

Kept scrolling through my memories and found another gem from July 11, 2017. I immediately began singing Donald Lawrence’s song, “I Speak Life.”

Speak life and favor over your life.♥️

Thanks for dropping in to see what I had to say today. I so appreciate you! Enjoy your day.♥️

Another Facebook Memory: July 8, 2019

Was going to share this with this morning’s blog, but I knew it would have been too long. This memory is a caption that I had written in response to a video Michelle Obama shared on July 7, 2019. She was speaking about women finding it difficult to put themselves first. It has taken a while, but I am finally finding it so much easier to put myself first.

Facebook Memory: July 8, 2019

Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. Caution: it’s pretty long, but needed.

I’m a nurturer. I’m a problem solver. If I see something that needs to be done, I do it, whether asked or not. So, I don’t blame anyone else for expecting me to do what I’ve always done.

Since my 45th birthday, stepping back and allowing others to handle problems has become easier. I’m finally focusing on me. These past two weekends have been rejuvenating. I’ve actually enjoyed myself without worrying about my kids (my cheerleaders☺️), my family, or work.

Y’all may think I’m over exaggerating, but I haven’t felt free to only think about myself since I was a little girl. Back then, I was either the oldest, or most “mature,” so I was always put in charge of things. This carried over into my adulthood and 1) was great for my career, 2) benefited others around me, but 3) caused me to lose myself. Well… at 40 I started searching for “ME,” and on June 17, 2019 ALL shackles were released. Whew!! From now on, I’m putting myself first! I deserve it!

Note: Please stop placing so many responsibilities on girls at a young age. It’s okay to teach them to be self sufficient, but also teach them how to take care of themselves. When we know better we must do better. Let’s raise, whole women, not broken women. That’s all!😊

I am enough. Taking care of Shaun. Self care is a must.

Okay… that’s all for today.♥️

Facebook Memories From July 8

Hello!

Confession… Before writing this particular blog, I had written another one. Right in the middle of writing, I heard that that particular message was only for me and not to share it at this time. I am learning that the enemy will often use your own words as fuel to attack you. Listening and learning.

On another note, here are a few memories from July 8th. I had so many memories I wanted to share but will only share a few. Will begin with last year’s and work my way back.

Facebook Memory: July 8, 2022

In case you forgot–YOU are enough.♥️

Yes… YOU are enough.♥️

I Am Being Groomed

Facebook Memory: July 8, 2021

This was in response to a post someone else made–

THIS!! Most people won’t understand. I’m learning more and more that sometimes you just have to be quiet. God’s really been working with me about over sharing. I want to tell EVERYTHING! “Guess what God showed me!” Umm… be quiet Shaun. Lol. I’m so grateful for God’s love and patience. I’m learning.

I still want to tell EVERYTHING! However, I know that I can’t. There are things I must keep sacred.

Yessss!! Repost from Tyler Perry Studios

Facebook Memory: July 8, 2019

The vision WILL come to fruition. I am already there.

I am going to end with a quote from a video I saw earlier today. It’s by track star Sha’Carri Richardson–

I’m here to stay. I’m not back, I’m better!

Sha’Carri Richardson after gaining the title for the women’s 100 meter race.

Yes, I am here to stay and I’m better. As I keep saying, this side of 50 is already different. God is good.

That’s all I have for you today. I pray you have a fantastic weekend. Love you!♥️
