My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Process is necessary for progress. It’s necessary for change. It’s necessary for success. There are learning experiences attached to each step. If you skip a step, you will continually repeat the process until you get it right. There’s no way around it. ~ Shaun
What you have to offer is special. It’s unique. Don’t shy away from it. Embrace it and shine. You, my friend, are one of a kind!♥️ ~ Shaun
Happy Resurrection Sunday! Knowing that Jesus rose on the third day gives me hope. Hope that no matter how dark and dismal life becomes, or how long the pain lasts, there’s joy on the other side. Yes, joy is on the other side. Never give up hope.
I’ll leave you with a few words from the song, Rise Again –
“Because I’ll rise again, ain’t no power on earth can hold me down. Yes, I’ll rise again. Death can’t keep me in the ground.”
Powerful, right!
Be Blessed

My nephew shared a quote this morning and the words ring true.
“Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don’t want to believe that. But if you’re over age twenty-one your life is what you’re making it. To change your life, you need to change your priorities.” – John C. Maxwell
He also added that due to social determinants it may be difficult to change your life. However, I’ll add, it is not impossible. Sometimes this means making sacrifices (changing priorities) so that you can live a better life – mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well as financially.
I’ll end with this question–
Are you presently making changes to create a better life for yourself (see meaning above), or are you content with where you are?
Me – I’m making changes.
Thanks for reading and please your day!

Your time and peace are valuable. Protect both by making sure others respect them. Not only is this an act of self-care, but self-preservation. Enjoy your week! ~ Shaun
Don’t give up and never stop believing. You are closer to your dream than you think. ~ Shaun
Life is what you make it. Always remember, it’s your life. Make it beautiful! ~ Shaun
Today I received an unexpected blessing, an award for Nutritionist of the Year. Let me tell you how unexpected it was. I had left the conference to go check out of my hotel room. All I was thinking about was checking out on time. Didn’t expect a thing. Then all of a sudden I started receiving texts asking me where I was because I had just won an award. Wow!
Just think, one year ago I took a leap of faith and ventured out on my own. And at times I feel so disconnected. Although I continue to promote health throughout our state, it’s on a different scale since I’m no longer affiliated with an institution. So yes, it was unexpected. Honestly, it was just the blessing I needed.
Grateful.
“Everyone has their own road to travel,” is what I wrote a few years ago. It seems like the older I get the more evident this becomes. No matter how much we want things and relationships to remain the same they won’t. Life is constantly evolving. Everyone has their own lives with their own set of dreams, goals and problems. And of course I have mine!
My world is finally opening back up and it looks totally different from the way it looked pre-COVID. I’m not afraid of what the future holds. However, it saddens me that things are no longer the same. As many of us have experienced, change – positive or negative – can be difficult to accept and adjust to, but it’s so necessary.
On this day three years ago, I wrote: “Reflect, Regroup, Refocus.” Never have I felt the need to do this as much as I do now. Change is inevitable and it’s happening right before my eyes. The only thing that has remained constant, and will always remain constant, is God’s presence and love. And you best believe I’m not letting those go. Nope! I’m leaning on Him even more.
Thanks for reading! Enjoy your day.
