Finally Feeling Better

I am finally feeling better. I have been sick for the past few days. Yesterday was the worst—chills, coughing, fever. I tested negative for COVID so I assume it is a mild version of the flu. Was going to get up and get moving since I feel better (still coughing), but I think I need to rest one more day.

I pray everyone is doing well. Wishing you a wonderful day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Social Media Break

Where would we be without social media?

Every year around this time I usually take a short social media break. It is how I clear my head to get ready for the rest of the year. Typically, I delete all of my apps to keep me from mindlessly tapping them. Well, this year my apps are still on my phone and I have not tapped on as usual. This is what I call growth.

I wonder how long this will last. Am I finally controlling social media without it controlling me? Been saying for years that this is what I wanted. Maybe it is finally happening. Maybe…

Yes, I Am Here

Y’all, I finally got to see the 2023 version of the movie The Color Purple and I absolutely loved it!! If you have not seen it yet but have seen the original movie, play or read the book, I suggest you go in prepared to have a new experience. It was wonderful! And Fantasia! Listen, Fantasia did that!! I felt every word of the song “I’m Here.”

As 2023 ends and 2024 rolls in, I want the universe to know, Baby, I am here!!! Yessss…. I’m here!

I’m Here by Fantasia
Lyrics: LyricFind

I don’t need you to love me
I’ve got my sister, I can’t feel her now
She may not be here, but she’s still mine
‘n I know, she still loves me
I’ve got my children, I can’t hold them now
They may not be here, but they still mine
‘n I know
I know I still love them
Hey
Got my house
It still keeps the cold out
Got my chair
When my body can’t hold out
Got my hands doin things like they s’post to
Showing my heart to the folks that I’m close to
I got my eyes though they don’t see as far now
They see more ’bout how things really are now
I’m gonna take a deep breath
Hey
I’m gonna hold my head up
Gonna put my shoulders back
And look you straight in the eye
I’m gonna flirt with somebody
When they walk by
I’m gonna sing out
Sing out yeah
I believe I have inside of me
Everything that I need to live a bountiful life
With all the love inside of me
I’ll stand as tall as the tallest tree
And I’m thankful for each day that I’m given
Both the easy and the hard ones I’m livin’
But most of all
Yes I’m thankful for lovin’ who I really am
I’m beautiful
Yes I’m beautiful
And I’m here
Yes you are, you are here.

Stay Humble

Shared this message last year and thought it was worth sharing it again this year and every year from here on—

The new year (2024) is loading…
Stay humble.
🙏🏽♥️

I can humbly say that every blessing I have is due to God. He’s the source. The only source. All credit, honor, and praise belongs to Him, not me. Amen.

Keep God first. He is the source of every blessing you have. Acknowledge Him. Honor Him. Praise Him. We must remember that as much as we would love to believe this is our world, it’s actually God’s. (Smile) Wishing you a peacefully, blessed day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
