You may not be able to see it, but God has a plan. All you need to do is sit back, relax, and go with the flow. He’ll guide you when it’s time to move. Believe me when I say, He’s got you!♥️
Love you,

Smiling
Good Morning☀️
It’s Self-love Saturday!
Two years ago, I wrote the following in one of my Wednesday Writings post—
“Progression is the name of the game, right? Smiling. Looking forward to meeting the woman I’m becoming.” – Wednesday Writings, November 30, 2022
That statement has me smiling a huge smile. Cheeks hurt because my smile is so big.
Y’all, I can see the woman I am becoming. I see her, and she’s emerging unafraid and unapologetically. Yes, I see her, and I love her.
Real talk, though. I am so glad I didn’t give up on myself and didn’t settle for things as they were. I can only imagine what my life would be like right now had I settled. I knew the path I was headed down, and it wasn’t a good one. At one point, it was one of suppression, depression, and hopelessness. I also think about my children’s lives and what they would be like today. I am so proud of myself for making decisions that helped me take my life back. Y’all, God is so good. As I have said many times before, I am beyond blessed.♥️

Guess What?!
You will WIN!🙌🏽
Since I’m wide awake, I thought I’d go ahead and post some good news for you to wake up to.
The message is, “You will win!” Yes, YOU! As I said a year ago, you always do. Smile♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Thought I’d go ahead and share since I’m wide awake. My two just got home and they are very talkative.
Pray First
Before you make unnecessary or costly moves, pray first. Pray about the situation, then listen for the answer. Allow God to guide your decision(s).♥️
Love you,
Shaun

Do You Know What You Want?
Good Morning☀️
On November 28, 2021, I was reading Will Smith’s memoir, WILL. Meant to share this yesterday but forgot. When I tell you I took sooooo many notes. If you haven’t read it, it is so worth reading. Here’s an excerpt from my entry.
Shaun’s Journal Entry: November 28, 2021
“JL or James Lassiter asked Will these questions while trying to figure out what Will really wanted. Will had no real direction just wanted not to ever be broke again and to be able to have fun.
Questions:
What is the dream?
What are you trying to build?
What do you want?
Stephen Covey, in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, said there are only two human problems: (1) knowing what you want, but not knowing how to get it; and (2) not knowing what you want.”
Again, I loved this memoir!
I believe we must ask ourselves JL’s questions from time to time to see if our answers have changed. Is our dream still the same? What are we trying to build? What do we want? Even though I am now on the other side of 50, the core (which I believe is most important) of my answers remain the same. I know what I want.
For years, I used to dwell on what Steven Covey listed as the first problem—knowing what I wanted but not knowing how to get it. However, today, I don’t even think about how I’m going to get it anymore. God is finally the captain of my ship and I’m sitting back enjoying this ride called life. I trust Him to get me to wherever I belong. He knows best. Listen, life is so much better when we allow God to lead, and when we’re obedient.
Question:
Do you know what you want? Your core desires, not the superficial ones.
This is all for now. Thanks for reading. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 27

I’m blessed.♥️

Your Health Matters
I know it’s Thanksgiving and most aren’t thinking about health or healthy anything; however, your health still matters. Not only am I speaking about physical health, but mental and emotional health as well. Be mindful of what you put in your body (enjoy, but eat in moderation) and who you allow in your space (separate yourself from people and things that causes you stress). Prioritizing your health is of utmost importance.
That’s all. Carry on with your wonderful day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Thankful Thanksgiving
Good Morning☀️
This morning, I am most thankful for family. Since my mom passed, I seem to value the time I spend with family a little bit more. Of course, I always cherish the time I spend with my two hearts (smiling because my daughter’s home🥰); however, lately, I have been intentional about not rushing time spent with extended family, especially my siblings and their families, and my mom’s siblings. Now, when I am in their presence, I’m present. I soak up everything—from their words and expressions to the very essence of their being. Yes, I’m right there with them. Before, I may have taken it all for granted, but now I realize just how precious family is.
What are you most thankful for today?

You Choose
I couldn’t choose which Facebook memory to share, so please choose the one that resonates most with you at this moment.
Facebook Memory #1: November 27, 2022
Stay focused!
Facebook Memory #2: November 27, 2023
Keep smiling!
At the moment, they are both significant. Right now, I’m all smiles, and as you know, smiles are quite contagious. So, even though we are miles apart, I hope you are smiling. As for staying focused, I am definitely focused.♥️
How about you? Which did you choose?
