Singing “Be Grateful”

Grateful and blessed.

According to my Facebook memories, on March 14, 2019, I was listening to Walter Hawkins’ “Be Grateful.” It’s a much needed reminder that what we often take for granted is what others desire to have or are praying for. As the song says, there’s always someone worse off than you or who would love to be in your shoes. Be grateful.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

**Side Note: The intro and outro to “Be Grateful” are🔥🔥🔥! Whew!! Talk about praise and worship for at least a good 20-30 minutes off a 8 minute song. Listen, IYKYK!! 💃🏽

My Journey With God, No. 75

Earlier, when I shared my first post, “I’m Blessed,” I had no idea I had written the following post on March 13, 2023, until I read my journal entry from that date.

This morning, I wrote—

“Thanking God for blessing me with hope and the gift of dreaming new dreams. I am beyond blessed.”

I had no idea I had actually written about my hopes and dreams on this date two years ago. Here’s what I shared then—

“I’m Already Living In My Dreams,” March 13, 2023

Much too often we limit ourselves to what is familiar… to what we know and see.

When I was in my twenties, God gave me a taste of what I said wanted but I was too naive to recognize it. For decades, I saw myself in international spaces. Wrote in my Senior book (high school journal) that I wanted to work for an international company. God gave me the Air Force. Said I wanted to travel to different countries. I lived in Germany and Turkey. Shoot, even said I wanted to live in the city I’m living in now, eight years before I actually moved here; and the move was not intentional, it just happened.

So, here I am actually living in all I have spoken… in all I have dreamed. No, nothing is or has happened the way I envisioned, but everything has happened and is happening.

For years, I have seen myself standing in front of the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland admiring the flags of different countries. I have seen myself walking its halls and interacting with people from all nations. Well… I am already doing it through my blogs and social media platforms. No, I am not physically at the U.N.; however, everything I saw myself doing, I’m doing from the comfort of my home. Now, this does not mean I don’t want to go to Geneva, Switzerland because that’s still a dream of mine. What it does mean is I now recognize the gift I have been given and I am eternally grateful that I am living in my dreams.

I am truly blessed.

I would like to thank all of you for reading my blogs and helping me fulfill my dreams. I so appreciate you!♥️

If you don’t mind, please leave a comment and let me know where you are reading from.


I thank God for reminding me that dreams rarely resemble what we envisioned; however, the core of our dreams never changes. I am not just dreaming new dreams but expanding and reimagining the dreams God placed within me as a child. I also recognize that my reality is interconnected with my dreams. Talk about being blessed!

Y’all, God is so amazing!♥️

300 Days

Smiling.☺️

Three years ago, I was almost a year into my journey of posting daily.🎉

This Saturday, I will be celebrating 1,400 days of posting daily. At 1,300 days, I decided to add an extra post. I believe that’s when I began the “My Journey With God” series. At 1,000 days, I launched my YouTube channel. This time, I’m not sure what I’ll do. Maybe I’ll wait until 1,500 days to do something different. Either way, I still plan to celebrate it in some way.

Thanking God for this space. It’s my own little world. And THANK YOU for visiting my world. Seriously, thank you for the continued love and support and for allowing me to be me. This means a lot in a world that’s so judgmental. I appreciate you more than you know.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Think and Speak Abundance

As I mentioned two years ago, everyone deserves an abundant life. We must be intentional about thinking and speaking abundance over every aspect of our lives. We must think and speak:

Love

Peace

Happiness

Joy

Wellness

and

Prosperity

Abundance is not only reserved for the privileged but for us as well.

Think abundance.

Speak abundance.

See abundance!♥️


I love you abundantly! Smile☺️

Your Vision Is Too Small

Good Morning☀️

Two years ago, I shared a random afternoon message. Didn’t even create or include an image, so I know it must have been one of those messages I felt compelled to share. This morning I am sharing it for the same reason. It’s important that you know your vision is too small. God has so much more planned for you.


Decided to create an image for today’s social media posts.

Trust God’s vision.

The caption will be:

“There’s so much more beyond what you can see or imagine. My advice—stop trying to figure it out and let God lead. His vision is greater than yours.♥️”

I pray you have a lovely day and an amazing weekend!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 72

During the president-elect training, we were reminded more times than I can count to remember our ‘Why.’ Moments ago, I found a similar message in my Facebook memories. Last year, my cousin shared the message, “It’s time to revisit your ‘Why’.” She urged us to reassess the ‘Why’ behind our God–given dreams, plans, projects, and goals.

Guess what I’m doing today?!

You guessed it!

I’m taking time to remember/revisit my ‘Why.’

Here’s the link to Joy’s message. I pray that it blesses you as much as it has me.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Good Morning☀️

Keeping hope alive.♥️

I’m Blessed

Last year when I shared this message, I wrote:

“It’s the small blessings leading to the bigger ones that are so remarkable and rewarding! Never take them for granted.”


Blessings are blessings no matter the size. Taking nothing and no one for granted. I am truly blessed.

When I shared this message as an Instagram story, I added Charlie Wilson’s song, “I’m Blessed.”

Enjoy!♥️
