Have you ever attended a personal development workshop in search of a spiritual awakening and you listened to the speakers signed up for their program and then realized that the program wasn’t really what you were searching for so you put it on the shelf and never implemented it?
Mention that you do community service to many and they often ask what did you do? When I say I didn’t do anything I chose to give back to the community and show people that service to humanity is the best work of life, they seem perplexed and confused.
There are many thoughts of positive thinking and recently I have to confess that I am looking at the positive way to spin things. Imagine if a news anchor came on the news and said 90% of Americans are working or today 92% of homeowners made their mortgage payments. This would create a massive shift in consciousness and could create a spiritual awakening in communities across America seeing that there is more positive occurances going on around them and that this shift will continue as we move towards the positive in all outcomes.
I remember when I first woke up to my spiritual awakening and it was like someone saying hey you wake up there are great things in store for you. Since that day I have had the opportunity to awaken talents that I had and use them to enhance my personal and professional life.
I am often asked how do you continue to find success? My answer is, I invest in myself be it atrending seminars and workshops, purchasing and reading books, purchasing healthier fooods, or taking time to just unwind and relax. One way you can invest in yourself is to click on the Hay Link to your right and purchase personal development and spiritual development products. Finding a good coach and putting together a strong team of supporters is another great way to invest in yourself.
One person to consider for your team is Rick Figley who continues to help other people excel by offering great services. Rick is very spiritual and has invested in himself so as to help others. His dedication to helping others is to be celebrated and applauded

In May of 2011 I sat at a table with Barbara Theodosiou, Founder of The Addicts Mom and Coach Shantel, Founder of 100 Days of Gratitude and we began to discuss a way to honor people and help the community at the same time and a special event to honor those giving back was born.

You hear it all the time don’t use the S word in this case it is Spirituality. I find it amazing when you start to speak about spirituality how many people will shy away from the idea because of fear of truly finding themselves. It is amazing what happens when you commit to yourself to be authentic and true so that you can have what you desire. Part of the reason for hosting The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards on 3/24/12 at Unity Church in Pompano Beach, Florida is to help people further awaken to their purpose and to bring spirituality into the mainstream.
Jan Attwood has created The Passion Test to help you discover your purpose so you can recive and apply your message.
On 3/24/12 at The Unity Church in Pompano Beach, Florida you will have an opportunity to hear messages from Ernest Chu, Dr. Mia Merritt, Sarah Spiritual, Ken Esrig, and Rev. Dr. Dee Adio-Moses as part of The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards. Tickets are $75 and can be purchsed here by clicking on the donate button.
It was a turbulant day on the seas many boats turned back however one didn’t heed the message of dangerous seas and rip tides and rising currents, then it happened the boat began to sink. A helicopter flew over head and asked do you need help to ehich the man answered no, GOD will provide, a big rescue boat came by asked do you need help, again the reply no, God will provide, finally a big air craft carrier came by and asked do you need help, again the reply no, GOD will provide. The boat sank and the man drowned. He arrived in heaven and asked GOD, What happened? I thought you would provide. GOD answered I sent you 2 boats and a helicopter what more did you want.
Many times the messages are all around us and it is up to us to recognize then and apply them. All along GOD was providing the help that the fisherman needed, however the fisherman didn’t realize that God was providing all the time. How many messages are missed and not applied because we are so caught up in other things?
I have been stressing to people to maximize their message for several years. There are many ways to maximize your message, some are:
1: Use a 3 foot rule- If someone is with in 3 feet of you talk to to them
2: Share your message through social networking and blogs
3: Post your message in your print advertising campaigns
4: Record your message and send it out to people or post on your websites
5: Book yourself on radio shows and TV Shows to discuss your message
6: Publish your message
This will be my first Thanksgiving without my mother, Judith Miller, as she was called home by GOD on July 5, 2012. I am honoring her and giving thanks for the years she was with us by asking people to visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogglederman and to make a donation. My Thanksgiving will be spent with my dad and his significant other at The Kings Buffet.
When Thanksgiving arrives and the sunrises it means turning on the tv and tuning into the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and seeing the joy on all the families gathered to celebrate this day of magic that seems to bring everyone together for the common good. For many it is a time for family and friends while for some it is just another day. After viewing the parade it is off to watch football and share time with my Dad and his significant other, Regina. I strongky believe that the elements of Thanksgiving should be shared on a daily basis. Some ways to do this are:
1: Be grateful for the roof over your head and reach out to help those who may not have this luxury
2: Use the magic words thank you when interacting with everyone
3: Write thank you notes just to acknowledge those who are enhancing your personal and professional life
4: Tak a moment simply to call a client and thank them for their support
Despite rain those that attended the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade enjoyed themselves. This made me think what is it that you enjoy about the parade. For me
1: The bands and the entertainers at center stage
2: The Ballons- My Favorite is still Kermit followed by Snoopy
3: The Broadcasters and The Gentlema that does the Voice Overs
There is something magical about waking up early on Thanksgiving and watching the parade and then taking a moment to reflect of all the good that is happening. This year despite some financial challenges I am grateful for the opoortunity to spend time with my Dad and Gina. The energy of the parade and the joy it creates is is amazing as it propels many of us to assume a position of gratitude and thus reminds us that when we come from gratitude we open ourselves up to receive and give. It is in being grateful on Thanksgiving and through out the year that we can create great things.
Snoppy is one of my favorite characters and somehow I get balanced and centered when I see him in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. On this special day of Thanksgiving may you find balance, joy, abundance, peace, love, and happiness in all that you do and may your light of spirituality shine bright on others.
When I think of spirituality I often think about giving. In giving you are then open to receiving. In his book,Soul Currency, Ernest Chu, explains the idea of being open to receive. Dr. Chu will be speaking on 3/24/12 at The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards. When you give unconditionally is when you reap the most.
Dr.Ernest Chu- Soul Currency Author
Exemplifies Spirituality Through Giving
Giving can be as simple as saying Thank You, the person receiving this message feels good and you will find you will feel good as well. By coming from a position of gratitude we expand our sprituality and create the art of giving. In her book You Are Enough and her other works, Rev, Dr. Dee Adio Moses, helps other people to excel as they learn to come from gratitude. Rev. Dr. Dee Adio-Moses will be speaking on 3/24/12 at The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards.
Rev. Dr. Dee Adio- Mosess Explores Spirtuality by Giving
Begining to give allows you to feel good and to empower and inspire others and thus find others that will give to you. In his book, Start From Where Your Are, Ken Esrig, emphasizes the importance of starting and making yourself important. Ken will be speaking at The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visionary Awards on 3/24/12.

Many small gestures of giving add up to larger accomplishments. Dr. Mia Merritt explains that you are destined to be great and shows people how to step into their greatness. Dr. Mia Y. Merritt is the author of three books, Destined for Great Things, Destined for Great Things “Workbook”, Prosperity is Your Birthright! and Prosperity is Your Birthright “Journal.” In each of her books, she describes how everyone can reach their dreams and achieve goals they never thought possible. She explains how we all have showed up on this planet with greatness and power inside each of us. Her books motivate on how to allow the gifts that are within to be cultivated and nurtured into powerful achievements.
She will be one of the speakers at The Spiritual Entrepreneurs Visonary Award on 3/24/12.
