Freedom Is…

There’s a lot I could say about today’s celebration of 250 years; however, I will only say this—

Freedom is not free. It comes at a great cost and with many sacrifices. For freedom to remain, we must remember those costs and sacrifices.

Freedom is longed for by many, taken for granted by most, and embraced by a select few—hopefully you.

Celebrate, but also remember.♥️

Feeling Grateful

Woke up feeling grateful and blessed. So many didn’t wake up this morning, but I did, and I don’t take this lightly. I’m so grateful for another opportunity to be a display of God’s glory. Y’all, I’m truly blessed.🌺

Stopped to take a quick birthday selfie before I headed home. I had a great weekend with my baby girl! I got to love on her, and she loved on me. Again, I’m so blessed.🥰

Today, if you find yourself wondering about what the future holds for you, I encourage you to trust God’s Guidance, Timing, and Process. He knows what your future holds because He already has it planned.

Now, breathe…


Wishing you a wonderful day and beautiful week. You deserve both!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, 144

Question:

Why does God put so many desires and dreams in our hearts only for us to have to choose which ones to fulfill in our lifetime?

Long, long, long sigh…


If you’ve been following me for at least three years or more, you may have noticed that I don’t mind pivoting to follow wherever my passions take me. I truly don’t.

As I look back over my life, I have always followed some passion of mine. From the military to culinary to dietetics to research to advocacy—haven’t even mentioned my creative side—I’m forever following a passion. It’s like I can’t stop. Ugh…

This morning, I’m sitting here trying to figure out how to connect all of my passions. And y’all, I have MANY! Every single passion I’ve ever had still lies within me. I mean every single one.

I must find a way to connect them all.


Yesterday, my daughter’s fiancé took me to tour his new workplace. The last company he worked for had a phenomenal space—it was so nice. I loved the warm and inviting atmosphere. However, this new company has the kind of environment I always longed to work in. From the outdoor spaces to the break areas to the artwork and creative spaces, I was on cloud nine. It wasn’t just the space, but the technology aspects of it all. Y’all, I’m a low-key techie and their setup made my day.

Side note: Since eighth grade, I’ve been in love with coding and technology. Even before then, I was designing flying cars and preparing to live in outer space. I was so ready for this era. At least I thought I was.😅

During the tour, I took a moment to sit in that space, to be in that atmosphere, to take it all in.

There has to be a way for me to do everything I desire to do. I just know there is! God wouldn’t have put all of this in me just for it to remain inside of me. Laughing because He knows I love a challenge, and I believe this one is going to be my biggest yet. I have to create something that will incorporate all of my passions, desires, and dreams.


Here are a few pictures from my tour. I just loved the art. And they had Scrabble games, books, puzzles, and creative spaces everywhere. Y’all, I was on cloud nine, for real.

Anyhoo… here’s today’s inspiration— In God’s Strength— “God’s strength will take you much further than your own.”

Today, I’m tapping into God’s strength for real because ain’t no way I’m leaving this world without doing every single thing I desire to do!!

This journey of mine is an adventure indeed, and I’m loving every moment of it.

Feeling grateful and blessed.♥️

Signed with much love,

Shaun

Life, self love

Feeling Blessed

*This is Year53

My Journey With God, No. 143

What’s your top tip to be successful in life? Today, I still journal several times a day. What I’ve learned over the years is that for me to be …

Reflect and Make The Necessary Changes

Above is the post I made not to long ago. It’s my answer to one of the Daily Prompts. I’ve been awake for a couple of hours. Nothing’s wrong, just preparing for the day/week. I’ve finally learned to work with my internal clock not against it. I’m my most productive during the wee hours of the morning, so why keep fighting it? Smile

I’ve been thinking a lot about a theme for my 53rd birthday year (Year53). I always set one right before or on my birthday. However, I believe I’m not going to set one this year. I’m just going to let Year53 be what it will be.

Anyhoo…

I’m about to rollover and go back to sleep before my real day gets started. But before I do, I just want to thank God for life—for my life. I am truly blessed. Amen

Wishing you a wonderful day and a blessed week.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Happy Sunday!☀️

I pray all is well with you.🌷


No matter what comes or goes, stay with God. He will never give up on you, so don’t give up on Him.

Deuteronomy 31:8
“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

Stay with God. He’s got you!♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

Blessed and Favored

Singing, “Blessed And Highly Favored” by The Clark Sisters. The song says—

“He brought me through hard trials. He brought me through tribulations. Never let a day go by and not realize, had it not been for the Lord who was on my side…”

“Don’t take it for granted that we are here today. Just know that we’re blessed and highly favored.”

I know that I am blessed and highly favored, and I don’t take it for granted. All praises to God. Amen

I hope and pray that you know the same. You are blessed and highly favored. Yes, YOU!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Favor. Overflow. Grace.
