Today (8/2/2018) marks my 53rd birthday and today is a bittersweet day as it also marks 8 weeks since my DAD was called home to GOD. As I reflect back on the years gone by I can fully understand that time passes and when it is all said an done all we have left are photographs and memories.
As I was going through some old birthday cards, sympathy cards, and photographs I began to realize how yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come so that is why it is important to live in the present. It is in realizing that time passes and that we are given 1,440 minutes in a day to make a positive impact in our lives and in the lives of others that I can fully understand the importance of being connected to GOD and being guided by GOD. Through the spiritual awakening process I have come to learn that it is imperative to become an action taker and despite any perceived setbacks that you may face you must face everything and rise so as to achieve the greatness that GOD has intended for you. In looking back and remembering we are able to find comfort in knowing that we have accomplished so much and we were fortunate to have a few people in our lives to share in our peace, love, joy, and prosperity. Time is the only commodity that when you use it up can not be replaced so make sure you are utilizing your time to create the life that you desire.It is when you understand the time passages that are happening in your life you will find that you begin to create more bliss and abundance.
As you experience a spiritual awakening it is important to understand that you should not back down nor bow to negative forces or situations that may be rearing their ugly head. It is imperative to constantly stand on your spiritual ground and walk in your truth so that you will enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life. Regardless of the situations that are being thrown at you you need to stand up and understand that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. In today’s world where social media seems to rule the day and people resort to name calling and defriending or unfollowing you take a step back and think how Jesus must have felt as he faced many detractors. Jesus didn’t back down and as a result paid the ultimate price with his life leaving a legacy of standing in faith and truth for others to follow. Think about all those who didn’t back down and stood their ground by taking action to affect change and all they had to endure. In the end they were met with success. In today’s world there are two types of people action takers and excuse makers. Which one will you be? It is important when you commit to not back down that you do it your way.
When I was a teenager there was this sitcom, One Day At A Time, and I would watch it and laugh not realizing all the meanings that the show held. Now that I am older I can understand the messages that were being given in the show. The key lesson that I received was to take things one day at a time and to do my best to spread peace, love, and joy everywhere that I travel. I also learned the importance of being an action taker so as to evolve personally, professionally, and spiritually. It is simply in understanding that through the spiritual awakening process that every day is a new opportunity to create the life that you desire. In being in tune with your divine guidance system and seeking answers from The Ascended Masters, GOD, Jesus, and The Angels you will find yourself growing while making a mind, body, and soul connection by taking things day by day.
As you walk your spiritual path taking things one day at a time you will find that your connection to GOD is strengthened as you become more aware and awake. It is imperative to remember that your spiritual walk is a daily walk and to walk in your truth. When you are authentic and transparent you strengthen your relationship with GOD making it possible to move forward in a positive direction of your dreams. When you begin to take things one day at a time and live in the present you find that your stress levels are lessened thus your positive vibrations are enhanced and you begin to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. As you begin to eliminate that which no longer serves you on a daily basis you start a path where clutter is no more and clarity rules the day. When you make it point to be of service and value daily you will find that you function at a high level and thus are able to attract the resources that will serve you in your quest to become spiritually enlightened.
As you experience a spiritual awakening you begin to understand that there are no limits to what you can do. As you move forward in a positive direction along your spiritual journey you discover that you are limitless and thus you are more apt to take action and bring ideas to fruition without hesitation as you have cleared the blockage of what will everyone think. The key is that it really doesn’t matter what other people think because at the end of the day as long as you pleased GOD and pleased yourself nothing else matters. In many cases we stop ourselves from reaching great heights because we listen to our own negative self talk and the doubters, naysayers, and haters instead of believing that we are powerful and capable of achieving the greatness that is our birthright. So today is the day to say goodbye to limits and simply take action on those things that you have been meaning to do and let GOD guide you to the amazing heights he has in store for you. Is is the day to go from the mindset of I can’t to I will it is time to make the idea that all things are possible your anthem. It is time to console with The Ascended Masters, GOD, Jesus, and The Angels and get the guidance that you seek so you can become limitless. It is time to look at what is stopping you from taking action and then work through it and start taking the action that is required to manifest the life that you desire. It is time to come alive and make changes by being of service and value to your community. It is time to become limitless by detaching from outcomes and moving in a positive direction of your dreams by keeping any negative emotions in check.
Spiritual Awakening: Spark It Up and Pass It Along!!!
As you become an action taker while experiencing a spiritual awakening it is important to spark up you imagination and then to create what you imagined. As you create ways to be of service and value it is important to pass it along. Today (7/18/2018) I had the opportunity to work with Joel Gresham of The Imagination Bears. He taught me the process of creating one of the imagination bears which you can learn more about at www.imaginationbears.com. It really helped me go from a sad place where I was stressed to a better place. As we talked I began to imagine how great it would be have this available to people so they can become empowered and inspired thus I am passing it along to you.
When we imagine and visualize a world we want to see we begin to become more aware and awake. Once awoken we can take action to manifest the life that we desire, In imagining and discovering our why we begin to make a mind, body, and soul connection that allows us to create more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. It is when we take action and follow our passion that we can turn our dreams into reality. Many times we stunt our growth personally, professionally, and spiritually because we listen to what others say and our own negative self talk. It is time to go from limited thinking to limitless beliefs by embracing the idea of what the mind can conceive, the heart can believe, you can achieve. It is time to stop listening to the naysayers, the doubters, and the haters and to start listening to your heart. It is important to shut of the the negative self talk and go from the idea of what can go wrong to the idea of what can go right. It is time to take a journey into your imagination as take action on something that you have been meaning to do for but haven’t taken action because you decided to forget everything and run well now is the time to face everything and rise.
Now is your time to let your imagination flow and take action so you will be on top of the world. Many times we focus on all that is troubling us and holding us back which creates blockages stifling our progress to become the best version of ourselves. It is time to reflect and look and all, the good that you have done and how you have grown personally, professionally, and spiritually. It is time to clear the blockages and remind yourself that you are an amazing creative being capable of extraordinary things. It is time to make a commitment to spark it up and pass it along for you have so much to offer your community. It is time to take all the losses and accept them and learn from them and share your experience so as to help other people excel. The time is now to create sacred space that will allow you to reflect on and release anything that may be stopping you from creating the life that you imagined.
As you spark it up and pass it along take time to walk in nature and allow yourself to stay centered, focused, and grounded. Take a moment to show gratitude for what GOD has created and use the energy of gratitude to create the life that you imagined. As you walk in nature bring a journal with you so you can write down thoughts and ideas that you can take action on in the future.
Keep a notepad and pen with you as you never know when an idea will hit you that you think could help in moving you forward in a positive direction toward exceeding your goals and objectives. If you have an idea that you think will work to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life take action to implement the idea and let everything flow as GOD has intended and see where it takes you. You may find like I did the other day that what you imagined can be brought to fruition and thus bringing you joy and a sense of accomplishment.
After receiving a donation of mini helmets from Riddell to use in my fundraising efforts efforts for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life I thought wouldn’t it be great to have a Relay For Life mini helmet. I spoke to the people at Riddell and thye came up with this design. I share this design with The American Cancer Society and they are thinking about doing these helmets. This is one example of how sparking it up and passing it along by using your imagination can make a difference in peoples lives. It is when we decide to take action and heed the messages that are being sent to us from GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels that we are able to spark it up and pass it along. There are many opportunities for us to spark it up and pass it along we just have to stop and take a breathe and then take action which in turn allows us to continue on our spiritual journey toward enlightenment. Continue to imagine today! Namaste!!!
Spiritual Awakening: Is It Real Or Is It Memorex!!!
Many years ago the use of cassettes was very popular to copy music or record presentations. One company had a campaign where they asked is it real or is it memorex. As I sat down to write this blog today (7/17/2018) I began to think that as action takers this is a question we should ponder for there are many people out there that are professing to be something that they are not. Through the spiritual awakening process we must be aware of those who are truly being authentic and those who are faking it until they make it. In his latest book, The 5th Agreement, Don Miguel Ruiz advises the reader to question everything.
As I was driving today (7/12/2018) I noticed many under construction signs. As I drove I began to think that through the spiritual awakening process we as individuals are under construction as we are building a foundation that will allow us to make a mind, body, and soul connection by becoming action takers. In making changes to the way we look at things and react we construct a new paradigm that allows us to build a better personal, professional, and spiritual life. When we start to construct our lives on our terms as guided by GOD we find ourselves bringing more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. When we decide to construct our lives making adjustments along the way we find ourselves having more success and thus we manifest the life that we desire. As we become more aware and awake embracing the fact that the only person we can control and construct is ourselves we find that life flows easily and we manifest what we want effortlessly. When we construct our lives using the messages from The Ascended Masters, GOD, Jesus, and The Angels we begin to understand that we have a divine guidance system that will allow us to build the best life possible while also being of service and value to others. We have a power to build our own city.
As we go deep inside to construct our city we will need to find compassion, love, peace, and joy so as to create prosperity. In becoming a builder we must find the good in every situation and allow everything to flow as GOD has intended. If we have an appointment with someone and they call 15 minutes before to push it back we have a choice to make. We can say okay and use the time given to do other things that will allow us to move forward in the construction of the life we desire or we can say no and not deal with the person as we feel disrespected. The choice is ours to make and we must decide the best course to take so as to build our best life possible. When we answer our calling and we detach from the actions of others we have the ability to come alive and make changes that serve us and our community better. Many times we must change the plans and see what we can do differently in the construction to make things better.
As we plan our work and work our plan we must be willing to adapt to changes as they come up as we can only control certain things. Today (7/12/2018) is a great example of that I had set up a meeting with someone and 15 minutes before the meeting I get a call that they need to push it back 1 hour. I said okay but then I thought wow how disrespectful does this person not understand that my time is valuable or that I may have have other plans. Then I took a deep breath and looked at what else was on my to do list and what I needed to construct and realized that it was time to let go and let GOD as GOD is the one directing me to construct my life and will provide all the guidance I need to succeed. I could have went on and on as to why this person has struggles to bring things to fruition or how they appear to be making money despite the way they conduct themselves. Instead I turned to GOD and asked what now and I received the answer to write this blog entry and hopefully help the reader to construct the life that they desire.
As you look at the life you have with gratitude you can continue to construct the life that you desire simply by becoming an action taker and allowing yourself to be guided by GOD. I have stated it many times if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. It is important to remember that you are a divine child of GOD and GOD wants you to prosper and to turn your dreams into reality. As you construct your life it is important to be tuned into the emotions that open up the channels to receive as opposed to the emotions that create blockages that stop you from constructing the life that you desire.
When you need to plan the construction of the life you desire find some sacred space where you can remain centered focused and grounded so as to create your best life. Make sure you have all your spiritual tools.
Sometimes in order to truly embrace the spiritual awakening process you have to look at things from a distance to get the proper perspective. Today I went to the bank again to drop of my DAD’S death certificate as they needed the original so as to get the ball rolling on getting whatever money was left in the account. When I went on Wednesday (7/3/2018) I had a copy. It is like pulli8ng teeth when you are not a named beneficiary so I stepped back and simply let go and let GOD learning to tell people that if they have an elderly parent to make sure that you are put on all their accounts so that if they meet their demise things are made easier. Today I learned just how important it is to go the distance in all that you do as it relates to your personal, professional, and spiritual life. In making a commitment to go the distance you will find yourself overcoming challenges and manifesting the life that you desire. In committing to going the distance and focusing on taking steps to help you exceed your goals you will find that you attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. The first step to going the distance is to become an action taker and to remain aware and awake so as to move forward in a positive direction of your dreams. The second step in going the distance is to find your calling and to live a purpose driven life so that you will become the change that you want to see in this world. The 3rd step of going the distance is to come alive and find ways to be of service and value to your community that also enhances your personal, professional, and spiritual life.
If you are going to commit to going the distance you will need to find some people to be the wind beneath your wings. In my case my winds beneath my wings were called home to GOD. Yesterday (7/5/2018) marked 6 years that my MOM is gone and 4 weeks that my DAD is gone. Though they are now angels in heaven I know they are looking over me and sending me messages to follow to improve my personal, professional, and spiritual life. They will always be the wind beneath my wings as I continue to go the distance in all that I do. It is important to make sure that you never give up because when you go the distance you achieve some amazing things that will make the angels in heaven proud.
In the last month I have had to find ways to hold my head up due to the passing of my dad on June 7, 2018. Today was one of those days when I had to rely on my spiritual teachings to hold my head up as I went to the bank where DAD had one of his accounts and because I was not a signer on the account I could not close out the account. My DAD died without a will so everything has to go through the courts and there is no guarantee that the little money that was in the account will be coming to me. I have learned over the years to simply hold your head up and let go and let GOD. As I take action to get things in order after the passing of my DAD I am finding myself relying on my spiritual teachings to deal with all the situations as they arise. I share this with you today (7/3/2018) so as to encourage you if your parents are still living that you have a talk and get everything in writing as to their wishes on any monetary situations so that you will have peace of mind when the time comes to take action when they are called home to GOD.
July 5, 2018 will mark 6 years that my MOM is gone from this earth and I have been searching for ways to find hope and healing. I am always amazed that when I hold my head up the universe delivers the message needed to move forward on my spiritual journey. Today (7/3/2018) I found this rendition of Things Will Get Easier and I believe that things will get easier as my angels in heaven will watch over me and guide me so that I can enhance my personal, professional, and spiritual life.
As I picked up my DAD’S ashes yesterday (6/28/2018) from Alexander-Levitt and placed the box in the trunk of my car I realized that when GOD calls you home your entire life is reduced to ashes. This reminded me that we come into this world as dust and we leave this world as dust. I then began to realize that what is important is how you lived that dash. My DAD didn’t want a service or any pomp and circumstance. He simply wants his ashes spread at sea. His sunrise was on April 7, 1935 and his sunset was on June 7, 2018. As I looked at the numbers of his life I noticed many reoccurring numbers like 7 and 11 and 18 so I looked up their meaning and here is what I found.
Number 7: Which is the result of the sum of the other two numbers, finds a place between the two worlds, the world of life and the world of death. It refers to completeness and the aspect of things well done.
Number 11: According to numerology, the number 11 is a “master number” which signifies intuition, insight, and enlightenment. When paired together, 11 11 is a clear message from the universe to become conscious and aware.
Number 18: The number 18 means PERFORMANCE. It represents a basic structure of LIFE. The number 18 simply means LIFE. It consist of the BODY, SOUL, MIND and SPIRIT.
I took these numbers and saw how deeply rooted they were not only in my DAD’S Life but in my life as well. As I came to grips with the fact that the life of my DAD is now reduced to ashes I looked at how he is being remembered and the words I have heard a good friend, a caring and compassionate man, a giver, and a lover. I hope that I will be able to take his compassion and kindness that he leaves behind and use it to pay it forward so as to be of service and value to others.
