“Learning to relax and accept things until God moves.”
Journal Entry- March 6, 2019
Today…
“Learning to relax and accept things as God moves.”
In 2019, I was waiting. Today, I’m no longer sitting and waiting. I’m moving with God. And what a world of difference it’s made! I’m blessed.
Praying that you enjoy your Sunday. Have a blessed week.

I am the change that I seek because change begins with me. (Smile & repeat)
That was my social media post for the day. Even though I’ve heard the quote, “Be the change you want to see in the world,” hundreds of times, this morning it dawned on me that this should be something I practice in everyday situations. In the past, whenever I heard the quote it was always in reference to community and global change. Never once did I think of applying it to situations closest to me. As we all know, we cannot change others; however, we can change the way we respond to their actions. I believe that we have the power to create the atmosphere and spaces we desire. I know this will not work in all situations but it’s worth a try. Peace is what I seek and it must begin with me.
Enjoy your weekend! ~ Shaun
With God ALL things are possible. Just believe. Enjoy your weekend! ~ Shaun
Another level of freedom is truly understanding and accepting that you are rare. There’s no other like you. NO ONE can fulfill your purpose but YOU. Embrace your uniqueness, flaws and all. ~ Shaun
I’m just going to jump right in. A few days ago, after reviewing several pictures I had taken with a guest speaker at an event, I began criticizing my appearance. Y’all, it was like I couldn’t stop.
Transparent Moment:
I rarely take full body pictures because 1) I do not know how to pose (y’all my poses are terrible 😂) and 2) I’m not comfortable with my weight. So after taking the pictures the guest speaker, I began to openly critique every photo – I looked too fat, too short, the camera wasn’t positioned right, needed a better camera (HA.. there’s absolutely nothing wrong with mine). Y’all, I was on a roll. Couldn’t stop myself. The criticism was flowing like running water. Sadly, it wasn’t until I got in the car that I realized what I had done. Ouch! Up until that moment, I never realized how much I criticized myself. And to do it in public was completely embarrassing! It’s one thing to do it at home (which is still wrong) and another to do it in public. As I sat in my car tearing up, I promised myself that I would never criticize myself in public again. I can only imagine the impression I left. Sigh
Here’s a full body picture from another day. I’m learning that the only way I can fully embrace myself, as well as become more confident, is to stop hiding what I consider flaws and imperfections. And the negative self talk has to go, TODAY! How can I promote self-love if I’m not truly embracing all of me?
For me, there’s something so cathartic about releasing issues into the atmosphere. Once out, I imagine the words braking into fragments until they become tiny particles floating away into the universe. Release & Breathe
Thank you for reading! Praying you have a wonderful week.

Happy Monday! Not sure why I fell asleep with Cry On by Commissioned stuck in my head. Then woke up with Ain’t No Need to Worry by The Winans and Anita Baker playing over and over in my head. I shared both songs on social media. The first one last night and the latter, this morning. Both songs imply that problems, heartaches, disappointments and pain are only temporary. That if we would just hold on, it would all be over in the morning. Honestly, it’s hard to believe the pain will ever subside, especially while we’re deep in it. However, over time, the pain eases and life gets better. Please, hold on!
Sending prayers and love to those who need it. 🙏🏽♥️ ~ Shaun
