My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
A father’s love is a gift to be treasured, one to hold near and dear.
A Father’s Love
Today we celebrate our wonderful fathers and father figures who continue to make a difference in our lives as well as the lives of others.
Fathers…
Your love, wisdom, guidance, and sacrifices haven’t gone unnoticed. We see your heart and value your presence. Thank you for all you do. Thank you for being YOU!
Please enjoy your special day!💙
We love you!
Shaun
Happy Sunday!☀️
Today, I am so grateful and blessed to be alive. Blessed to hear the birds singing. To see the beautiful sunshine. To breathe in fresh air. To have food to eat, water to drink, shelter, transportation, and the ability to move about freely.
Yes, I am blessed.
Ten Days until Year53…
This year’s excitement about my upcoming birthday is quite different. Usually, I’m bubbling with excitement, counting down the days, and imagining what I’ll do. However, the excitement I currently have is more contained. It’s a peaceful excitement. If that makes sense. It’s an excitement of knowing that I’m stepping into another year of wisdom—another year of maturity and growth.
Before I took my break (which I’m now referring to as a short sabbatical), I finally accepted the role as the matriarch of my family. A role that was already mine, but one that I wasn’t ready to accept. Well, I have accepted it, which means I must move differently. I have to be more mindful of what I do and don’t do (because that also matters). I’ll never be all stuffy because I love life too much. However, the way I move through life will change a bit. It’s already changed…for the better. Smile
I know I say it all the time, but I never knew this side of 50 could be so different. I’m thankful for the change. Thankful for God’s love, patience, and grace because they have gotten me to this place. I’m so looking forward to the blessings this side of 50 will continue to bring.

I pray that you have a lovely Sunday! Talk to you later.♥️
I love you,

Happy Sunday!
Rather, Happy Self-Care Sunday!
Today is the last Sunday of my birthday month, and I’ve decided to relax a little more than usual. Not in a rush to do anything. Today, I’m taking it easy and going with the flow.
This morning, I took my time reading through my Facebook memories. Here are a few random memories that made me smile. I’ll start with June 29, 2019.
June of 2019 was a pivotal month for me. It was the month my divorce was finalized. It wasn’t until my birthday, maybe a couple of days afterwards, that I celebrated being FREE. That year’s theme was “46 and Free🦋.” I had waited so long for it to happen—years. And then, I was free.
Maybe I’ll take a ride down to the coast. That’s if I can let this bed go.☺️
Here are a few more memories from June 29th.
Great memories!
Favor, overflow, and grace. This is Year52.🎉
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love, peace, joy, and laughter.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
First, I want to start by saying I love you. You deserve to hear it first, not last. Times are stranger than ever, BUT GOD. Resist the urge to panic. Panicking only causes destruction and further devastation. Remain calm but prepare for the worst while also planning for the best. I know it’s easier said than done, but it can be done.
At this moment, many of my fellow veterans are experiencing PTSD. We’ve been here before. Last night, I was explaining to my daughter everything I would have been doing at this moment as it related to her. Being stationed in Turkey was scary at times. While everyone was living it up stateside, without a care in the world, we were being careful about our every move on and off base. Anything could happen at any time. We knew this. We lived it daily.
When I first arrived in Turkey, within 30 days, I had to have an emergency evacuation plan for my daughter in case there was a possible attack. I was a 24-year-old single mom in a new country where I knew no one but my three year old. Within the first week, I had made friends with someone I trusted enough to accompany my baby girl back home to my mom or sister. I didn’t know her or her husband, but I had to trust God enough to trust them with my child. I was on edge with every threat of an attack. However, I did not live in constant fear of what could or may not have happened. Instead, I did what most military families are doing right now and that’s banding closer together. It was my military family who made stressful situations, calm.
Right now, I’m praying for our troops (all branches). God, please give them peace and calm their hearts. Let them know that You are with them. For all others, including us veterans, please do the same—calm our fears and give us a sense of peace.
That’s all I have for now. I’m about to get dressed and go love on my baby girl a little more before I head home. I’ve had a wonderful time with her. I feel so refreshed!
TWO MORE DAYS!!🎉 And yes, I’m still excited about my upcoming birthday. God’s got me. He’s got us!♥️
I love you,
Shaun
God’s smile is all the confirmation we need to know that everything will be okay.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Whatever you’re trying to handle on your own but failing, this is your reminder to let go, be still, and watch God work. He’s got this and He’s got you!♥️
I love you,
Shaun
Hello Sunday, and Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful fathers out there. Know that you are loved and very much appreciated, not only for your financial support (because fathers are more than financial resources) but also for your love, wisdom, guidance, and for simply being YOU.
You are loved!♥️

I shared the following image and quote six years ago (June 8, 2019).
Here’s what I shared last year when I reposted it:
Progress has definitely been slow, but continuous. Had a few setbacks but I kept going, and will keep going.
That was last year. I’ve learned that as long as I know I’m moving forward, other people’s opinions and thoughts don’t matter. I’m moving and operating in God’s timing, according to His plan, and within His purpose.
Know that progress is progress. Stay focused on what God is doing in YOUR life and keep moving forward. You got this!♥️
I love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I hope you’re doing well.
With the help of my Facebook memory from last year (June 8, 2024), I’m going to keep this one short and sweet.
The message…
Keep pursuing your dreams! Your purpose is much too great for you to settle.
That’s it!
I pray that you have a beautifully blessed day filled with love, joy, laughter, and peace.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
For as far back as I can remember, my mom had always wanted to be a published author, and four years ago, her dream came true.
I remember the day of the Facebook memories below. My mom was so nervous and excited. I told her to make the initial post, and I’d share it. Y’all, she received so much love that day!🥰
Here are a couple of my shares.
I miss my mom. I’m so grateful I captured this moment on the first of June. Thank You, God, for knowing I would need this memory for future June firsts. I’m blessed.🥰
Year52 is loading…
