It’s Who You Are

Never shy away from who you are. Every part of your being makes you, YOU—every part. Be sure to use them for good.♥️

The New AI Profiles: What Are Your Thoughts?

Finally saw examples of the new AI profiles Meta has created. Talk about the futuristic becoming a reality! Not sure if I should be excited or afraid. I’m not going to lie, I have always been drawn to the whole space-age, futuristic stuff. As a kid, I imagined the possibility of life on other planets, people living in outer space, and androids living among us. Shoot, I already believe Elon is a cyborg from the future or alternate universe. Yes, I believe in it all. Smile. Let’s just say Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (I always though it was the 21st century😅), Star Trek, The Jetsons, and The Twilight Zone were my favorite shows as a kid. Now, it’s happening. However, what I fear could happen reminds me more of Fahrenheit 451 (I believe everyone should read the book at least once). Or… the animated movie, WALL-E.—another favorite ☺️—not as scary of a future, but still a future I hope we avoid.

Yes, life is becoming very interesting and I’m not sure what to make of it. Are y’all ready? What are your thoughts and feelings about the new AI profiles?

This is the image Facebook created from my profile picture. I only added the prompt “futuristic.” I’m so cute!🥰 I look like a young scientist.😁

Good Morning

Good Morning!☀️

How is everything going?

How have you been feeling lately?

Me? I’m so glad you asked.☺️

So, my new year started off on a high note. However, it went downhill soon after—like the next day—when I began thinking about my personal life. I thought about how I chose to be a mom first and built my life around my two—no disrespect to my babies because I would do it all again if I had to. It’s true.

Side note: If you don’t already know, I love being a mom. Y’all, I love everything about motherhood—the good and bad. Believe me, my adult children were regular kids like every other kid. They tested their boundaries and my patience, but I never once regretted having them. They were and truly are my blessings.

Anyhoo… Reality hit me hard a couple of days ago. I’m talking hard! For a minute, I felt completely lost and alone. Y’all, I am single—like, single, single—grown kids, no man single—and I’m 51.

That’s when I knew I needed a change of scenery to clear my mind, so I hit the road. I wasn’t about to sit and wallow in my thoughts of what I didn’t or don’t have. Yes, I am 51, but I refuse to believe my best days are behind me. That I missed out on God’s plans for my personal life because I chose to make my babies a priority.

This morning I came across a Facebook memory from a few years ago and was reminded that everything that happened in my life, happened the way and in the order that God planned. I may not understand it, but I accept it. I accept it, and I’m letting it go. I must let it go. I know God’s got me.


Well, that’s how I’ve been feeling lately. How about you?😅

Don’t forget, today is Self-Love Saturday! Remember to treat yourself a little extra special today.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

It’s Done

Whatever you’ve asked of God, know that it’s done. Yes, it’s already done. Now, carry on. He’s got you!♥️

Trust God, COMPLETELY!

My Journey With God, No. 47

Good Morning!☀️

God is moving. He’s moving in a way I don’t always understand, but He’s moving.

I was reading a journal entry from this date a few years ago and found an excerpt attached from January 3, 2015. This basically sums up what I struggle with at times—both needing encouragement and motivation and people not thinking I do.

Momma J is my bonus mom and my Aunt Deloris was my mom’s aunt (I miss her so much).

It just baffles me how people think I don’t have the same needs as everyone else. Like I’m some kind of superhuman or something. As I mentioned back then, I do and handle things like I do because I have to, not always out of choice. But they were both right, it’s made me who I am today. Not sure if that’s always a good thing though.

Anyhoo…

As I said, God is moving. It’s so ironic that I am seeing this today. Yesterday, I revived something (yeah…learning not to over share) I began in 2022. Seeing the snippet of those two conversations confirms I’m moving in the right direction.

Y’all, I’m so grateful and thankful for God’s love. I am truly blessed.🥰


This is all for now. I’m looking forward to spending time with my bonus mom today. She already has a lot planned (tasks) for us to do.🤦🏽‍♀️☺️ I pray you have a wonderful day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Home Is Where The Heart Is

Sometimes a trip home is warranted to recharge, clear my mind, forget the craziness of everyday life, laugh at nonsense (my family keeps me laughing), and be loved on.🥰

Y’all, the older I get, the more I cherish these trips. Everyone’s growing older or passing away, so I treasure every moment I get to spend with those who are still here.

I’m blessed and God is so good.♥️

Again, Allow God To Lead

Sharing the same message I shared a few days ago—Allow God to lead. You don’t have to understand the task or have all the details. Just be ready to move when God says move.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Trust God. He’s not leading you wrong.
