Writing From A Space Of Calmness

Shaun Bradford

All morning my mood has been pretty even. No highs. No lows. Just pretty mellow. I used to believe if I wasn’t feeling the least bit of something, whether it was anxiety or joy, then something had to be wrong. I had to be depressed and not know it.

Well, today I am feeling nothing and I’m not depressed. It’s difficult to describe, especially when you have always been a feeling/emotional person. No random thoughts. No thoughts of the past. No thoughts of the future. No thoughts of what I will be doing in the next hour or so. Nothing. It’s almost as if I am in a meditative state without actively meditating. Just sitting here writing and staring out the window admiring all of God’s glory.

It’s a very interesting space to be in without intentionally being in it.

Life…

So mysterious…

Not going to interrupt the flow of things.

Be Blessed♥️

Roses For You

Shaun Bradford
Be sure to give people their roses while they are still here. Let them know they are loved and appreciated.

Before my mom passed, my siblings and I gave her her roses, especially during her last few months of life. During that time, we were intentional about letting her know she was so very loved and appreciated. Y’all, there was no way we were going to let her leave this world wondering. Now, don’t get me wrong, we loved on her before then, but it was nothing like those last few months. Everything was different. Maybe because she was different. It was almost as if it had finally resonated with her that she was actually loved and appreciated. Imagine going through life never truly knowing if you were loved or appreciated. Hmmm… Another topic for another day.

Well, unlike Momma, I don’t have to wonder. I know my two love me. I feel it through their actions. Not through receiving material things like physical roses or gifts, but through their affection and words of appreciation, affirmation and gratitude. Yes, I am one loved mother. Smiling

Not only am I grateful for my roses from them, but also from others. I am so grateful for those who pour into me and let me know that I am appreciated and loved. I receive, accept, and appreciate my roses.

Hmmm… Maybe that’s the key. Roses must be accepted after received. Again, another topic for another day because I haven’t always accepted my roses, either.

Anyhoo… If you are reading this, please accept your roses. Please know that you are truly appreciated and loved. Thank you so much for taking time from your day to drop in and visit my world. In Tupac’s words, you are appreciated. Sending you virtual hugs. Praying God blesses you many, many times over. Love you!♥️

Good Night (6)

Shaun Bradford
It’s handled. God’s got you!

Finally winding down for the night, and the song, “Ain’t No Need To Worry,” by The Winans featuring Anita Baker just came to mind. It’s the perfect song to end the day with.

The song says—

Ain’t no need in worrying
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.

In the morning, the morning,
it’ll be all over in the morning.

Listen, whatever it is give it to God. Tomorrow will be a brand new day with new blessings. Now, trust God and get some rest.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Living In Intentionality

Shaun Bradford

If more kindness, love, light, peace, humility, compassion, empathy, hope and so forth is what I seek, I must be intentional about putting it into the atmosphere. I have to do more to make sure it is seen and shared, whether I am the one creating the content or sharing someone else’s. I know I won’t always get it right. However, I am willing to try. I refuse to believe there are more bad things happening in the world than good. The good just are not being highlighted enough.

Here is a quote from another fav of mine, President Barack Obama.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

President Barack Obama

I have to be intentional about promoting the change I am seeking.

Wishing you a lovely week!♥️

Be Blessed,

Shaun
