My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Just a little food for thought…
If you want to grow, you must be willing to 1) put in the work and 2) be patient. Yes…patient. Patient with yourself and with the process. I believe we would all prefer that growth happen overnight or instantly; however, it doesn’t. It takes time, effort, determination, and sometimes courage. All of which requires patience.
I hope your Monday has started well. Remember to breathe and take breaks when needed.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
This morning, I am most thankful for family. Since my mom passed, I seem to value the time I spend with family a little bit more. Of course, I always cherish the time I spend with my two hearts (smiling because my daughter’s home🥰); however, lately, I have been intentional about not rushing time spent with extended family, especially my siblings and their families, and my mom’s siblings. Now, when I am in their presence, I’m present. I soak up everything—from their words and expressions to the very essence of their being. Yes, I’m right there with them. Before, I may have taken it all for granted, but now I realize just how precious family is.
What are you most thankful for today?

I caught the time at 2:22 and decided to screenshot it and share.
Hope you’re having a wonderful day! Although my day has not gone as planned, I’m good. No complaints. Just going with the flow. I guess this is what it feels like to surrender to God.♥️ ~Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
They say time heals all wounds. Well, good memories soothes the soul.
Time and great memories are key to getting through tough times. Be sure to hold those memories close.
Praying you have a wonderful day and a lovely weekend.♥️
Love you,

Nothing and/or No One can stop God’s plan for your life. Nope. Not at all. Everything will work out in your favor, even those things that seem impossible. Now, breathe and trust God. He’s got you.
Love you!♥️

“When it’s time,” was the only thing I wrote in my journal entry on this date a year ago (April 21, 2023). Nothing else. Not sure why I wrote it. There was no other context. Maybe God knew I would share it today and someone would need to hear it. Not sure, but it’s here. Be Blessed.♥️ ~Shaun
I shared this message of Pastor Joel Osteen’s 12 years ago. Twelve years ago! Y’all, sooo much has happened since then. Since me saying, “God, I’m going to let You take me where You want me to go.” Honestly, I do not believe anything could have prepared me for what would come. Listen, sometimes our plans and God’s plans are completely different.
Took many years to finally appreciate the freedom of allowing Him to lead/drive. Now, it’s almost like second nature…almost! Smile. There are still times when I take the wheel because I believe I know what’s best. Then when things don’t quite work out, I let Him drive again. As Pastor Osteen said, God sees the detours, dead ends, and shortcuts. He sees all. Thankfully, I am finally at a point in life where it doesn’t take me as long to realize who’s in the driver’s seat.
Twelve years later, and I am beyond blessed. I am so glad I allowed God to drive.♥️
This is Year50…

Dreams and goals don’t magically appear nor do they happen overnight. They require effort, work, patience and time.

I cannot believe we are almost one full week into 2024! Time is doing what it does—moving forward without a care in the world. It does not care about feelings, life, peace or chaos. Nope. It just moves right along. Which brings me to today’s Facebook memory—staying present. I believe when we stop fighting time life seems to flow so much more effortlessly.

Let’s not be so consumed with the past or the future that we miss out on today’s blessings. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not promised. All we have is now.♥️
Today, I challenge you (doing the same for myself) to stay present and enjoy the gift of now. Have a wonderful day and beautiful weekend!♥️
Love you,
Shaun

Be patient. Everything will happen at its appointed time.♥️
No matter how long you have waited, keep waiting. It is better to wait for God’s best than settle for less and then try to mold what you settled for into God’s best. It doesn’t work that way. I don’t know about you, but I would rather wait for God’s best knowing that everything He has for me is only for me. Yes… ONLY for me.
My advice—be patient and wait on God. Allow Him to lead. He hasn’t forgotten about you. Remember, He is always working and everything will happen when it is time. Believe me, nothing or no one can stop it.
Love you!♥️
