Celebrating 50 Years Of Friendship & Sisterhood

This is what a lifetime friendship and sisterhood looks like—Shaun & Shawn. We’re both aware that God placed us together. A divine relationship, indeed.

I almost forgot to save a screenshot of the Facebook story before it disappeared. The first picture was taken on my birthday in 2016, and the second was taken this past March.

We met through our grandparents. Her grandparents lived across the street from my great-great-grandparents. Her mom had brought her from Detroit to Mississippi for a visit and the rest is history. We have never lived in the same city for more than a year (4th/5th grade year); however, we have always kept in touch. I’m so grateful and blessed God placed us together.♥️

God’s Hugs and Kisses

Good Morning!☀️

I pray you’re doing well.🌸

I slept in this morning. Then, just as I was about to reprimand myself for slacking, God reminded me of His gift—His peace and blessings. This is the life He’s blessed me with. He’s given me this time and space to move as I please—time to shamelessly focus on me and only me.

And you are. YOU, my friend, are blessed.

As I mentioned last year, God’s blessings are like His hugs and kisses reminding us that we are His children. And I am taking it all in. I’m surrounding myself with His love, peace, and blessings.

I needed the extra sleep. I needed to wake up to the sunlight, not before it appeared. Usually, I would apologize for the late post, but not anymore. No more apologies. No more over explaining. I’m finally living in the space God’s graced me to be in, and I’m loving it.

This is Year52.🥰

I pray that you’ve allowed God’s hugs and kisses to find you. There’s nothing like being graced with His blessings.

This is all for now. Wishing you a magnificent day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Good Night (53)

Just dropping in to say “Good Night.”

So far, I’m really enjoying 52. I know it sounds crazy, but it already seems different—in a great way.

After a week of being catered to, I finally realized that my babies are grown and have their own lives and their own money. My siblings also have their own lives. My dad and stepmom have each other and are making it the best they can together, which leaves me to do my own thing. I feel like I have this revelation often, but I uncover a newfound freedom with each revelation, and it’s beautiful.

This is Year52…

The year of favor, overflow, and grace.

I pray you had a wonderful day. May your evening be restful and your dreams be beautiful.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

I’m 52!

I’m finally 52!

So, how do I feel?

Fabulous!!

Seriously, as I mentioned in my previous post, I feel rejuvenated. Like I woke up as a different, lighter person. The past week with my babies was the best. No complaints at all.

Favor, overflow, and grace in full effect!🥰 God is good.

Here are a few pictures from yesterday. My sisters will be here for a few hours this afternoon. Can’t wait to see them!💗

My daughter sent me a flower cake. It’s so pretty!🌺🌸🌼

Woke Up Singing

Good Morning!☀️

How are you doing?

I’m hoping all is well with you!🌸

Me?

I’m feeling fabulous and rejuvenated!

Woke up singing, “I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”

God is so good.

God’s praise shall continually be in my mouth. Amen

I’m still on a high from my birthday weekend and my actual birthday. Will share pics from yesterday later. My sisters are coming to town today. So I get to celebrate some more! Yay, Me!!☺️🎉

I pray you have a wonderfully, blessed day. May it be filled with love, laughter, joy, and peace.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 106

I finally looked at my Facebook memories from past birthdays. Here are a few that made my heart smile.

Facebook Memories:

My brother was creating digital art 14 years ago. He created this for my birthday. I miss him.🕊️

Even when it doesn’t seem beautiful, it’s beautiful.

Forever grateful.🥰

My beautiful momma. This morning, I had a hard time writing my first post because I was missing her so badly. I wish she could be here with me. I’m so glad I have memories like this. They’re my treasures.♥️

Six years ago, I celebrated my birthday with kids at a summer camp. My heart was full.

Now, I’m getting ready to go make more memories with my son. Today is his day with me.☺️


I am so blessed.

Thank You, God, for loving me.

This is Year52!🎉♥️
