So gorgeous! Shawn! During your live yesterday, I was soooo drawn to your eyes and their emotional depth. It's like vulnerability, playfulness and steadiness wrapped into one.

The way you were talking about bringing your dog with you . . .

Everything. I was so happy I wasn't on screen because I was getting teary as you enter this next phase of your journey.

So so happy for you. You deserve all of this and much more . . .

Currently in the midst of my Shawn Taylor catch up and whewwww! ✨

this poem is EVERYTHING, there's something in the owning that not everyone isn't for you and how this only raises the price, never lowers it!!

Analogy perfection. Kudos! I see you and you’re not falling in love with yourself, you’re choosing it. And I love that!

This is beautiful, Shawn. There’s a rare kind of honesty in writing from lived experience instead of longing and you can feel that evolution in every line. The coffee metaphor was creative, intimate and deeply resonant especially the parts about patience, temperature and learning someone’s temperament before fully indulging in them. Those are life gems.

What I appreciate most is the transparency behind it all. You can tell this wasn’t written to impress people… it was written from surrender, healing and finally seeing yourself clearly. That kind of self-love changes everything. Powerful piece. Gratitude for this wonderful piece 🌹

So grateful I get to learn the complexity of this coffee.

Beautifully written. Glad the universe lifted and your surrender sang you back to this one.
