Unique Love Solutions

Testimony Tuesday:

Everyone in my family knows I don't enjoy driving in the rain.☔️ This morning, I woke up feeling irritable because I had to drop off Anaya at the Marta train station, which is a 30-minute drive one way. Robert came home from work, and I asked him how the highway was. He said it was wet😏 and offered to take Anaya. But I decided to take Anaya to the station myself and declined Robert's offer.

I was annoyed that Anaya wasn't ready yet, so I started unboxing the cookware that Robert had ordered, which didn't match the rest of our cookware. I also noticed the laundry room was in disarray, and I needed to wash my clothes.😒 I was agitated but managed to prepare for the wet drive into the city.

Last night, I fell asleep listening to "Safe In His Arms" by Rev. Milton and The Thompson Community Choir. So, I played the same song again in the car 🚗 as I declared that we were safe and that I would be fine on the highway. I let Apple Music play its selections as I focused on driving with rain coming down hard and the streets flooding. I didn't talk or sing much, which is unusual for me. Although there were a few slippery moments, we arrived safely. I offered my umbrella🌂 to Anaya, and she went.

As I continued listening to the songs that Apple Music was playing, I sang along to songs like "Thank You" and "Changed" by Walter Hawkins, "Thank You Lord" by Daryl Coley, "I AM God" by Donald Lawrence, and "God's On Your Side" by The Mississippi Mass Choir featuring Le'Andria Johnson. As I sang, 🎤 I thanked God for my blessings, body, mind, family, life, health, and more. I started praising and worshipping in my car, tears and all! Before I knew it, I was pulling into my subdivision. And what song started playing again?😲 "Safe In His Arms"! I laughed because that replay confirmed a few things about God and Spirit.

Firstly, I woke up feeling triggered because of the rain. I let my fear pour onto my family, but if I had allowed the agitation to cause me to go within and do a self-check, I would have realized that my body was telling me that I was scared, and that's okay. I should have acknowledged it and declared my safety. Instead, I let my thoughts direct my behavior, which projected my agitation and fear onto my family.

Secondly, the song playing again was pure synchronicity. It affirmed that I was in the Spirit of Joy, Gratitude, and Favor and felt Blessed, also known as feelings. I was in the Lord's Vibration, aka Spirit, and reminded that I'm always safe, which confirmed that I'm never alone. Even when I get caught up, I'm never cut off, and I can always return to the center of my life, which is goodness and faith housed in my heart.

Shawnism:

Our bodies are divine temples designed to always speak to us through our bodily sensations, which we call emotions and feelings. When we allow our thoughts to dictate our behaviors, we miss the physical clues that help us return to balance, which I call God's Goodness and Faith, scientifically known as homeostasis. When I walked into the house, I was in a different mood than I left. I felt grounded, delightful, and thankful!

To live an examined life requires curiosity; you must be curious about your behaviors, feelings, thoughts, and emotions, and asking yourself why is a game changer. The answer you get leads you to the path of understanding yourself and others, which is the key to calmness and peace. You start to explore and have different experiences and outcomes in your life. Before you know it, an Internal Shift occurs that you aren't even aware of is happening. When you become aware, you embody balance, goodness, optimism, and faith in your life because you have the formula to continually return to the center, my friend. That's my formula, and it works!

Folks think I'm funny acting, but to know me is to love me...note to self! :)
I always felt like Marilyn Munster in my family, relationships, and life. I longed to connect, which I understand is a biological need that we all have within ourselves.
I adapted and believed from an early age that people didn't want to hear what I had to say, so I adjusted by trying to fit in within cultural and societal norms, which caused me to be inauthentic, resulting in my use of unhealthy ways to cope with alcohol, drugs, s*x, food, anger, depression, material gains, education, religion, sickness, entrepreneurship, and eventually withdrawal which is what I do currently to protect the hurt parts within me.

I duck out because I feel folks don't want to hear the real me, but underneath that thought, I believe folks will reject me because of what I have to say. Fortunately, I created a life that allows me the time and privilege to study myself through occult and scientific knowledge on how we develop and function as human beings.
I then apply what I learn to myself and my life, like going into the lab as the social scientist I AM.

As a result, I'm always observing, learning, and studying how I think, feel, and behave, eventually changing my thoughts, beliefs, and actions that fall outside what most are doing. One truth of Universal Laws is everything is about YOU! No matter what! Throughout my life, I always apply my newfound knowledge to myself to show and test its validity, which causes me to have different perspectives, changing what I do and who I do it with. Thus, parts of myself think I will be rejected, resulting in disconnection; my automatic nervous system sometimes protects me from this pain to my detriment as I disappear. But my cocoon is too tight again; time is winding down, and life is fleeting.

Now I'm better at understanding who I am and what I have to offer to this world, which isn't everyone's cup of tea, and that's alright!

I know my vision has its limitations, but God has shown me that there are others that I'm to serve through my heart where the Most High resides. As I continue to nourish it with my inner work, my heart produces fruit that others can partake in as a resource for awakening their inner healing.

Today, I speak up with courage and tenacity to keep expanding with curiosity and depth as only I can as LaShawn D. Woods.

As I continue to share my life, ups and downs, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom through social media channels, I know I AM an instrument of service and inspiration to those secretly struggling and desiring change to do their inner work and yield their own fruit.

I invite you to follow me on TT and IG as BLKNOSUGA, where I share my strength, courage, and wisdom.

There, I will share how to interrupt dysfunctional patterns of motherhood, wifehood, womanhood, and most of all, knowledge of SELF- biological, psychological, emotional, and sociological; if this resonates with you, I invite you to join me.

I chose this name, BLKNOSUGA, from a song I heard, and my take on it is that I've been charged to show up with ALL parts of myself and with the courage to have uncomfortable conversations as I learn to allow my spirit to run the show. ( No More Pink Elephants.)

My testimony is that you can overcome any life challenge with self-knowledge, self-awareness, and self-understanding, and my task is to share this truth and resources with YOU!

Love Always, Shawn💞

We are moving up to understanding that true submission is the key to opening the flood gates of love wide open! It’s a beautiful dance of surrender to the divine masculine and experience the rapture. Mmmm👄
