Y’all, I’m 51!

Shaun Bradford

Y’all, I still cannot believe that I am over 50! Seems like a dream. I was just 21, yesterday. Lol! Not sure what I thought 50 would be like or how I would feel. Honestly, as I have said before, I really didn’t put too much thought into life beyond 50. It was just an age on my timeline. An age that I had decided would mark the second half of my life where I would do anything I pleased. The first half was the test run for trial and error. HA!!! Another “Aha” moment. I guess you could say I manifested this too. Wow! I just love my life, and I just love how God loves me. Definitely blessed.♥️

Beyond blessed. Loving me!! Loving this side of 50.🥰

You Are Blessed

Shaun Bradford

Listen, this year, Year51, is all about experiencing God’s blessings in real time. From the moment I wake up until the time I fall asleep, I plan to acknowledge my blessings. Y’all, there are way too many blessings surrounding me for me not too. They are like God’s hugs and kisses reminding me that I am His child. Such a great space to be in.

Last year I celebrated all year long. This year I plan to do the same, by expressing my gratitude for my blessings. So, get ready! I am preparing you now. The words “blessed” and “blessings” will be used quite frequently. Smile

Before I end, I would like to invite you to join the celebration. Because if you did not know… You are blessed too!! Yes, YOU!! So, let’s celebrate!🎉

Love you!♥️

Smile, this is Year51. Celebrate with me!

Chosen For This: Part 3

Shaun Bradford

Went back to read what I had written on my birthday and happened to read what I had written the day before, exactly one year ago. You see, when I shared my first post for today, both quotes were from my Facebook memories. I had decided not to share the captions because I wasn’t really feeling them. Well, little did I remember, I had already shared one of the captions before. Smiling. Here’s what I wrote last year.

Chosen For This: Part 2 – June 23, 2023

“Not going to wait until next year when the Facebook post I shared today pops up as a Facebook memory. Nah… it has to be shared NOW, before Year 50. 

My words of affirmation…

Listen
Listen
LISTEN

Out of BILLIONS, YOU were handpicked to fulfill a purpose that only YOU can fulfill. Do not for one minute think your life has no meaning or you are not worthy of the dreams God placed in your heart. You are different for a reason. You were chosen for this. Not them, but YOU!

Walk in your purpose with confidence! Own it!!!

#Year50 is TOMORROW!!! It’s not what’s happening on the outside. It’s ALL about what’s happening on the inside. Whew!!!

Y’all already know I was pretty emotional when I wrote this. I am so serious and intentional about this next leg of my journey. God has been too good to me for me to keep suppressing His gifts. He made me like I am for a reason. I am Shaun and there is absolutely no other like me. I am one of one, for real.

Blessed!”

In tears. I love me some ME. For real. I am absolutely, without a doubt, one of a kind. Year50 showed me this. There is no one like me. Not at all.

When I tell you I am loving this side of 50!!! I am beyond grateful for the experiences, lessons and blessings of this past year. Never knew I needed them. However, God did! Before this day ends, and I enter another year, I would like to thank God for loving me. For holding my life, heart, and soul in His hands. For His covering and protection. For His mercy and grace. For His gentleness. For showing me, Me. When I tell you I am truly blessed, I mean it.

What a Jubilee Year!!! I made it!!!🎉🎉🎉

Year51 is loading… The other side of 50 is officially here!♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Today is the final day of Year50!!! This year has definitely been real. One for the books, for sure.

As I head into the rest of this decade there are two things I am certain of: 1) God’s timing is unmatched, and 2) I have been chosen by God to fulfill purposes that only I can fulfill.

Please enjoy your Sunday!♥️
