Monica Shantell Sharing light, love, and poetry. Instagram: .shantell Welcome! In advance, thank you so much for listening, following, and watching. Thank you. I mean!

Here you will find my poetry, positive thoughts, life experiences, and inspirations....please like and do share. I hope that you will find inspiration and perhaps revelation while being encouraged to focus on right things, positive thoughts, and all routes forward. To the best parents ever, thanks for always encouraging me to do what I’m called to. Sisters - thanks for being sister, cousins, leade

rs, and best friends all in one. Family - Thanks for your support. Family is where I learned the importance of loyalty, integrity, and faithfulness. Friends - the people that are always in my corner, thank you. Other friends… thank you too; I love you also. To my extended family of faith… always speaking God words in my direction, purpose words in my direction… thank you. To any place that I've ever spoken my words or you allowed me to do poetry.. I’m in social services but some years ago, I used to rap. Not just a few years ago… but, I mean AOL dial up years ago lol. Press the button on the chorded phone to do a 3 way call-years ago lol. Seriously, I sat that down because I thought that I had to in order to change my heart and my life. I used to hear messages like ‘Don’t be conformed to the world’, but at the time, I really didn’t understand that I didn’t have to lose all of myself to become all that God wanted me to be. Making those changes allowed me to serve some of the greatest folks I've ever met. While I was working my day jobs, I was able to be a volunteer Live Sound Engineer.... which I was a fan of because I loved sound like my father does. If you have music, my dad has all the speakers you need to make sure your experience is enjoyed. (Dad's not on fb so: shout out!! Yes, I said shout out... telling my age. I know. I know lol.) So, I'm going to keep it simple and start in my lane. This page is to share my poetry and inspirational messages. 
I thank God for every experience. I thank God for the mentors that I had a chance to have.. the ones that didn't have official titles in that regard, but thanks for your time. To my couple of new mentors that have clicked reply... what an honor, thanks for your time. At the most, there is potential for new friendships... I'm in line to learn, to be a better leader, be a better completer, and walk confidently in purpose (like you do.). I am so grateful to God for promising us people “FOR” our lives. He delivers mighty in the way of His promises to us. I am so glad that God tells us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. And also sees us that way....

I am so glad that God tells us that his plans are to prosper us with HOPE & A FUTURE. I'm just here to cheer you on as you go forward in the great plans that are in store for you. And, to remind you... less you forget. This is a new process so from “scratch” I go…..
