My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
I had written so much more about not wanting to write today. Decided to delete it all. The only thing I needed to do was acknowledge God for waking me up this morning. So grateful that I am still here.
By the way, Queen Charlotte on Netflix is a must see! Although fictional, it is the perfect example of my definition of unconditional love. I loved it!
I love y’all! Have a blessed day.♥️

Haven’t had time to draw or think these past few days. So thankful I have sources to pull from. Here is what I shared a year ago:
Facebook Memory– May 6, 2022
You ARE chosen and positioned to fulfill a purpose, God’s purpose. You have been placed where you are to impact lives. Never forget that it’s bigger than you.♥️
Have a wonderful Saturday!
Shaun
I’m getting married!
Nah… Not yet.
Just practicing for when it happens.
Have to get the man and proposal first.
Manifesting it…
That’s what I’m supposed to do, right?
Let me quit playing and go to sleep.
Selfie.
No filter.
Good Night
LOVE endures all things. More and more I am discovering just how deep and complex love truly is. Never ever fathomed a love so deep.♥️ ~ Shaun
In the words of Musiq Soulchild–
“LOVE… So many people use your name in vain
LOVE… Those who have faith in you sometimes go astray
LOVE… Through all the ups and down the joys and hurts
LOVE… For better or worse I still will choose you first”
I know that everything is working according to God’s will and plan.
I know that this time next year I will look back and reflect on how my current situation made me stronger.
I also know God will always have my back because He proves it daily.
Trusting God, always.
I finally understand that life is the process.
Wishing you a blessed day!♥️
Shaun
May is here!🌸
New Day
New Week
New Month
New Beginnings
No matter what comes or goes, remember God’s got you. Have a wonderful month!♥️ ~ Shaun
I do not have much to say this morning. Believe I said it all yesterday. Smile. At the end of the day, I really do trust God. Yes, I get frustrated at times. But who doesn’t? It’s called life.
Here’s the song that is currently on repeat in my mind–Mary J. Blige’s song, My Life. Here are a few of the lyrics.
If you look at my life and see what I’ve seen…
Life can be only what you make it
When you’re feelin down
You should never fake it
Say what’s on your mind
And you’ll find in time
That all the negative energy
It would all cease
And you’ll be at peace with yourself
You won’t really need no one else
Except for the man up above
Because He’ll give you love …

Thanks for reading and have a wonderfully, blessed day!♥️

This morning I was somewhat in my feelings. Was thinking about a particular moment, but didn’t have time to elaborate. It is funny how one moment in time can change your entire perspective on life. Well, here is what had me feeling some kind of way, and I guess I am still feeling it.
Last Monday, while returning home from visiting my mom, I heard as clear as day, “What if you have to wait another 10 years… another decade… before all of your dreams come to fruition?” Y’all, when I tell you the weight of that question hit me like a ton of bricks! I started bawling. Bawling while trying to drive. I was a mess. I never considered waiting that long. I will be 50 soon, meaning I will be 60 in ten years. I know I say timing is everything. That’s what most of us say. We say it with the exception that whatever we desire will happen sooner than later. But another 10 years?!
In my mind, I have been faithful in doing what I have been asked. I have been preparing and preparing. Then every time I think I’m close to everything happening, I discover I’m even further away. There is always so much more to learn and to do. I really do appreciate the complexity of the journey. I actually like watching things play out. With that being said, when will I see progress? I write everything down. I know I am not where I was 10 years ago; however, I am nowhere near where I imagined I would be by this age. Now, the thought of having to wait an additional 10 years and be okay with it is disheartening. It makes me want throw away everything I have been working towards. Honestly, the only reason I have not given up in all this time is because of my kids. Now they are both adults doing their own thing. I no longer have to keep pushing so hard. All I have to do is continue encouraging them. Basically, I am tired.
Back to the question. My response, after I finally finished crying, was if the next 10 years were so great that it would not feel like 10, I wouldn’t mind waiting. I mean, do I even have a choice of whether to wait or not? I can always resort back to me being in control and making things happen on my own, which never worked. Or… I can wait and allow God to do His thing. From experience, I know it is best to wait on Him. But at this very moment, I feel like dropping everything and living out my life as it is. Why do I always want more? Why can’t I be content with what is? I am tired of anticipating the unknown. It’s exhausting.
Yeah… this is how I’m feeling right now. Hopefully I will feel differently tomorrow. I will figure something out, as well as get through this. I always do.
Good Night
Expect great things to happen.♥️ ~ Shaun
On this day in 2019, I used the hashtag, “Expect Great Things,” in one of my Facebook posts. Sitting here thinking about how timely this message is. Y’all, I believe I have lost all hope of expectation. I used to wait in excitement of things to come. However, lately, I haven’t. Which is very interesting.
The reason I say this message is timely is because last night, while tweeting during a Twitter watch party for former First Lady Michelle Obama’s podcast tour, she retweeted one of my tweets. First she liked one, which had me smiling; then, she retweeted another. It was very unexpected. Whenever I join one of those watch parties, I tend to tweet because I like interacting with other tweeters, not to be seen. Now, I do like the feeling of being recognized, but I never want people to think I’m only there to be recognized. Anyhoo… that was pretty cool! Especially since she’s on my list of favorite people to meet (#4). And I did say that I wished I could have attended the event when she was interviewed by my other fav, Tyler Perry (#5). Several years ago, Tyler Perry retweeted one of my tweets during a watch party, which made me feel giddy. Laughing. So maybe both occurrences make up for me not meeting them in person. I would still love to, but I’ll settle for both memories.
Back to “Expect great things.” Honestly, I do not really know what that is anymore. I used to have an idea, but I don’t anymore. Now when I say it, I find myself saying it to encourage others. To encourage people with big dreams. Don’t get me wrong, my dreams are still here but I have come to the conclusion that they may not happen until I am as old as Abraham and Sarah. Until then, I’m going stay present and whenever unexpected things like a retweet comes along, I’ll cherish and store it with my collection of memories. For now, they are my great things. Smiling
I guess I should count this as a random rambling. Would delete most of what I’ve written, but won’t because I spent too much time writing it knowing I have to be somewhere in less than an hour. So I’m posting as is. Enjoy!
** Had to come back and edit it just a little. Lol! Hit the publish button a little to quickly. Gotta love life. Thanks for reading.😘
Covered by God.♥️ ~ Shaun
