Spiritual Awakening: Scoring A TD In Life!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Scoring A TD In Life!!!

As I went into my local TD Bank to do my personal banking an opportunity to support The Special Olympics came about as the bank was selling candy to benefit The Special Olympics. As part of the spiritual awakening process supporting charitable causes plays a major role in expanding our own spirituality as the giving allows channels to be open to receive. As I left the bank I thought how each time you give it is like scoring a Touchdown for life. As I drove to my next destination, the local Starbucks, I thanked GOD for the opportunity to pay it forward and make a positive impact. I arrived at Starbucks and the table I usually use was occupied however the young lady at the table allowed me to share half the table and thus scored her own touchdown for life. As I sat down all I could think of was Touchdown Jesus. The original Touchdown Jesus is illustrated in the 1st two photos which are of Touchdown Jesus at Notre Dame Stadium. The other picture is affectionately called Touchdown Jesus by parishioners of that church. The question now is how will you score a touchdown for life?

Spiritual Awakening: Ways To Score A Touchdown For Life!!!

1: Get involved with a charitable cause or support a charitable cause.

The Word of Life Mural (“Touchdown Jesus” to you and me!) celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013. In April it was lit with pink lights in support of those who’ve battled and are battling with cancer as the annual Relay for Life took place nearby in the Compton Family Ice Arena. Notre dame University scored a Touch Down For Life as they helped those affected by cancer and joined 1,000’s of others who participated in Relay For Life across the world. In getting involved with a charitable cause you score a touchdown for life while also expanding your spirituality and creating a oneness consciousness that allows you to be in alignment with your divinity.

Spiritual Awakening: Allow Me To Kiss The Sky!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Allow Me To Kiss The Sky!!!!

 In life we often experience a spiritual awakening and as we evolve along our path to enlightenment we may be in a Purple Haze surrounded by light and love that accentuates our purpose and allows us to find our way. I have always found music to be a great source to help me find the way. As Easter was celebrated yesterday (4/20/14) I found myself reflecting and seeking to born a new in the spirit of GOD and to take action on that which I wanted to do such as kissing the sky. Yes and I do mean literally kissing the sky and blowing kisses into the wind to show my love for GOD and the love I have for all those he has called home.  I kiss the sky daily as I did just before writing this blog entry I went outside my clubhouse and took a walk and on the way inside I turned to the heavens and blew a big kiss. Upon returning I sat in prayer and asked GOD to give the words that will empower and inspire the reader of this blog to take action and to make kissing the sky a practice in their spiritual development.

Have you ever just stood still and looked at the sky and wondered what it would be like to soar and kiss the sky. Each day I take a moment and I allow myself to kiss the sky and I feel more centered and balanced when I do this. The energy that the sky holds is amazing on a clear sunny day the heat energy can set a fire inside of you to move forward and create the life you have always dreamed of living. On a dark cloudy rainy day the cleansing energy and power can give you moments to stop and reflect and be grateful for the all you have and thus help to create more joy and abundance in your personal and professional life. In stopping for a moment in good or bad weather we have the opportunity to kiss the sky and use the energy we are receiving for good.

Spiritual Awakening: Roaring Like A Lion!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Roaring Like A Lion!!!!

 As I drove home last night after introducing the movie, Lion Of Judah, presented by www.docmiami.org I kept getting the message that it was time to awaken more spiritually and to roar like a lion. It was time to take the inspiration from The Lion Of Judah, a documentary about Leo Zisman, a Holocaust Survivor, who organized a trip back to Poland to visit and make people aware of what he had encountered. In the film the participants on the trip shared their feelings and their insight. Matt Mindel the director and writer of Lion Of Judah did an excellent job in taking a serious subject and bringing it to life leaving the audience inspired. As I drove home and reflected on the experience I could feel something deep inside awaken. Today that awakening was deepened as I received a message  to continue to raise funds for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton, FL. As I made plans to put my passion into action and to promote http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg1, my website for Relay For Life I was watching ESPN and there was an interview with Stuart Scott, a cancer survivor done by Robin Roberts, a cancer survivor. I was so inspired by the piece that I went to Twitter and tweeted them an invitation to come to Relay For Life of West Boca Raton, which will be held on June 6-7, 2014 at The St. Jude Catholic Church from 6 PM – 6 AM.

 Leo Zisman roared like a lion until his death in July of 2013 leaving a legacy of hope and healing with The Lion Of Judah. Robin Roberts and Stuart Scott continue to roar like lions as they inspire and empower others as they continue to take action and show people that they can overcome adversity.  In roaring like a lion these 3 individuals show  us that when we are in touch with our divinity we awaken spiritually and are capable of doing whatever we set our mind to do.

Spiritual Awakening: Breaking The Chains!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Breaking The Chains!!!!

 This week  we celebrate two important holidays that allow us to reflect on the power that we have in the spiritual awakening process as we escape from our own bondage Passover and Easter.  As we begin to reflect and meditate on the concept of freedom and how free we truly are in our spirituality.  We have the chance to look at our inner divinity and to become action takers and live a life that will enhance us mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  In escaping from Egypt The Jews faced many challenges along the way and with each challenge came hope from above that they would reach the promised land and with GOD’S grace and favor they did. Jesus was crucified on the cross and showing you can not keep the messiah down he rose from the grave to absolve all of their sins and burdens thus giving the followers of Christ their freedom.  With the gift of freedom and the shackles removed we must ask ourselves are we truly free?

 I have been asked on many occasion, JDOGG How can you celebrate and mark The Jewish and The Christian Holidays. My answer is simple, I have broken the chains that have served as barriers to finding my divinity and today I realize that both Jew and Christians are more alike then different. After all The Last Supper is a Passover Seder. Both holiday represent finding freedom. Both Holidays are represented by giving something up and making a sacrifice. Thus I find it very easy to observe and honor both holidays. At a Seder you will gather with family and friends and on Easter Sunday you will gather with family and friends. Both holidays are celebrations that also give us time to reflect. In essence both Easter and Passover hold a significant place in our lives as we gather for fellowship and remembrance while honoring  GOD.

Spiritual Awakening: Maneuvering Twisted Roads!!

Spiritual Awakening: Maneuvering Twisted Roads!!!!

 In our personal life and our professional life we will have the level of our faith and divinity tested and our spirituality may be shaken. It is at those times when you must decide to be an action taker and maneuver the twisted roads. There was a time in my life when I did many deals on a promise and a hand shake and many times these deals worked out because both parties involved understood that our integrity and reputation were on the line and that in the end GOD knew what we did or did not do. Unfortunately in today’s marketplace not everyone  holds the belief that their word is their bond and when it is all said and done people will forget what you said or did but they will never forget how you made them feel thus I now get everything in writing and spell everything out. I let the people I am working with know up front that if they violate terms of the agreement there will be extreme consequences. I truly do not like  to do this as in really conflicts with my spiritual belief that people should honor one another and honor GOD, however I have come to learn that not everyone will be as credible as I am and  without an agreement you will get burned.

Spiritual Awakening: Honoring Your Commitments!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Honoring Your Commitments!!!!

 When the day of judgment comes and it will come for us all the one thing we will evaluated on is did we honor our commitments. On Sunday 3/23/14 I traveled to Riveria Beach to announce a basketball game for The Palm Beach Pelicans of The Central Basketball League. I did the game and was told I did an excellent job I asked the owner for payment and he told me to wait a minute and I said okay. I was at the concessions area so I couldn’t be missed. He left without paying me and when I confronted him about this he gave me a story about having to take a player to the airport. I said okay come by the WRPBiTV Studios in Boca on Tuesday and drop off the $150 that you promised to pay me. He didn’t show so I asked him again for payment and asked him to come by the studio on Thursday. Thursday came and still no money. I wrote to him and said you have left me no choice but to take this public. He then said you would take this public I said I was going to pay you.  I then thought wow here is someone who professes to own The Central Basketball League and The Palm Beach Pelicans but hasn’t honored his commitment to pay me the $150 that is owed to me. The said part about the situation is that on my way home from the game one of my tires blew out and the $150 would have come in handy to replace the tire and have my oil changed. I was also planning on donating $15 from the $150 to The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I have learned that not everyone you meet will be as spiritually awake and aware as you are and that not everyone will honor their commitments. When thus happens you have to look at the lesson that was learned and decide what measures to take so others do not get taken advantage of when dealing with this person. I have prayed that the owner of The Palm Beach Pelicans sees the error in his ways and begins to honor his commitments. In taking the action to share this story it is my intention to help those on a spiritual path to protect themselves and make sure people are honoring their commitments.

 In the spiritual awakening process one discovers that the only thing that endures is your character. A coach of mine Shantel Smith taught me that how you do anything is how you do everything and this is so true as you can observe people and see how they act and if they honor commitments and if they do not you know that you are not matching up vibrationally or spiritually and that you may just need to move on and not work with that person as they no longer serve you. Sometimes character is revealed in the height of adversity for one who is willing to sacrifice to honor a commitment is the person you want to work with.

Spiritual Awakening: Hope, Healing, and Heroes!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Hope, Healing, and Heroes!!!

 During the spiritual awakening process many times we may find ourselves holding out for a hero when all the time this hero lies with us. So many times we are along the path seeking hope and healing and we continue to hold out for that hero to come along and rescue us only to understand that that hope in healing comes from our becoming one with GOD and becoming our own hero.  We become heroes the minute we decide to take action to walk in our truth and shine our light bright knowing that all the answers are inside of us and contained within our own divinity. The heroic acts of others may fuel us and inspire us, however it is standing for our beliefs and being of service and value that truly makes us a hero.

 David Bowie has created what has become an anthem for many reminding us that we can be heroes. In many cases it is through our own spiritual awakening that we awaken others be it through art, music, poetry, our community service, or simple showing kindness. You can be a hero simple by supporting a cause or keeping your word and living a righteous life. In my life I have found that I have a gift for writing and when I share this gift through my poetry I not only enrich the lives of others but I also enhance my own life. In my writing it is my desire to provide hope and healing to those who read it and to be seen as a hero in their life.

Hope has become a theme of mine as evidenced by my involvement with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. My site to make donations for The 2014 Relay For Life is http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg1. Shortly after Hurricane Katrina I wrote the following poem as I wanted to give hope to those who were affected by this devastating life occurrence. I then wrote Hope Prevails II to illustrate more of what was happening in the world.

Spiritual Awakening: Blow Me Up!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Blow Me Up!!!!

Today I thought of balloons and how they represent the spiritual awakening process. The balloon starts of empty and then you fill it with air, it expands, and in the end brings joy to those who encounter it. Much like the spiritual awakening process; we begin empty and as we get in tune with our spirituality we begin to expand and as we expand and adopt an attitude of positivity  we begin to bring joy to those we come in contact with and thus we grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Just as it takes action to blow up the balloon it takes action to create a  world filled with peace, love, joy, and prosperity.  If we are to find peace, love, joy, and prosperity we must be blown up with peace, love, joy, and prosperity. In the awakening process we may adopt anthems that represent peace, love, joy, and prosperity. We may do this with a sign that reads FREE HUGS and hang that sign with a few balloons to draw attention to it  to show those we come in contact with that day that we are walking in our truth and spreading light to all we meet.

Like the Balloon that we fill with helium with a message we must also get blown up with the spirit of the message. If our message is to be peace then we must walk out talk and be peaceful.  One way to blow yourself up is to fill yourself with the message by getting in touch with your own divinity and creating a oneness consciousness with GOD.  In finding inner peace and making the connection to GOD you will begin to create a life filled with peace, love, joy, and prosperity. In answering your calling and spreading your message you will change your life and lives around you by simply coming alive and blowing yourself up with spirituality.

Spirtual Awakening: Become A Shredder!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Become A Shredder!!!

tire blow out 2 1 As I stood on the side of the road on 3/23/14 after shredding my tire on my ride home after announcing a basketball game I thought as a spiritual evolved person who has experienced a spiritual awakening this must be a sign to slow down take a breath and let go. I call the State Farm Road ranger Line and the road ranger came and put the spare on. I thanked him and gave him a $5 tip. As I got into my car I prayed to GOD to deliver me home safely. I arrived home safely and the idea of shredding filled my head. I thought the tire shredding like it did was not just a sign to slow down but also a sign to shred the things that are no longer serving me.  As I pulled into The GOODYEAR today and took action to get the tire fixed I also noticed the car was due for an oil change so I decided to do the oil change. As I left and walked to Dunkin Donuts I realized that my experiences with my car are filled with many spiritual awakening lessons such as the one today in which I encourage you to become a shredder.

optimism-quotes-stay-positive-quotes-Optimism-is-a-happiness-magnet ... In shredding all the negative thoughts last night about my tire  shredding I was able to adopt my anthem of Stay Positive and thus move forward and continue to shred any negativity that may be permeating into my personal and personal life. As I began to write down any negative thoughts and then burn them so that they were released to be let go I realized that many times during our spiritual awakening process we need to shred thoughts that are creating blockages and we must be committed to becoming a shredder. In my experience with the car today I could have said wow $161 is expensive and I really don’t have that money or I could shift that thought to I am grateful to have the money to fix the car and the car will be an asset to help me to move forward in the positive direction of my goals. In shifting and shredding the negative thoughts brought on by the lack mindset I was able to see what one of my blockages has been over the years and now being awake and aware I am able to shred the past belief and go from a limiting thought pattern to an un-limiting belief system.  In shredding our past thoughts and changing the perspective we can detach from any situation and improve upon them. We have the ability to take the lemons in our life and make lemonade simply by changing our thought process and allowing things to flow. Understanding their will be trials and tribulations as we become a shredder will help us to grow spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.
