Spiritual Awakenings: A Season Of Gratitude And Healing!!!
As we begin to enter The Holiday Season it is important to make gratitude and healing part of each day and to carry forward the concept of spreading joy. You have an opportunity daily to be supportive of others and to be a lifter all you have to do is focus on making positivism rule your day. The vibrations that you give off will be returned to you. In the trying times that we face today we need to take a step back and breathe and be grateful for what we have and celebrate that we have the ability to be action takers and make a positive impact on the lives that we come in contact with through out the day. Every interaction we have is a chance to spread peace, love, joy, and prosperity to others. One of the things I like to do to get me in a positive spiritual frame of mind is to listen to different spiritual related songs so that I stay centered, focused, and grounded on the mission to make this a season of gratitude and healing. In adopting certain anthems and following the ascended masters it allows us the opportunity to make a joyful noise unto the lord providing us to attract more gratitude and healing into our lives.
In making a joyful noise to the lord in praise and worship you open channels to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life. In making this a season of hope and healing you will find that you vibrate on a high level that attracts the tools necessary to manifest the life you desire into your daily routine. In letting go and letting GOD by showing gratitude you will find many issues resolved so that you can move forward in a positive direction of your dreams.
In the effort to raise your vibrations so that you have the ability to manifest the life you desire it is important to have a tool that will allow you embrace the fact that you possess a great power in you to make changes that will create positivism in your life. 
Through the spiritual awakening process I have come to realize that whatever you bring to a situation is returned to you. This was very evident yesterday (11/8/2017) when I had a slight traffic mishap in the parking lot at my condo. I was upset because the lady I hit spoke no English and I told her we live in American learn English well this was overheard by the neighbors and they were upset. I took a deep breath and apologized and we worked everything out. As I went about my business of the day I realized that what ever you give you get back tenfold thus if you want peace you need to be peaceful. If you take action filled with love and gratitude you will receive love and gratitude in return.
In becoming a cheerful giver and being of service and value to others you will be rewarded. It is when you stay calm and keep giving without an expectation of return that you grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. If you stay calm and keep giving from a place that id filled with peace, love, joy, and prosperity you will attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. When you remain calm and take a step back to detach from the situation you will find that everything works out just the way GOD intended it to work out for you. GOD may put some challenges along your path to remind you of the importance of being humble and refraining from the emotions that create blockages and stop you from moving toward spiritual enlightenment. In every situation you face their is an opportunity for growth.
I was introduced to this book a few years ago and I had the pleasure to interview M.J. Ryan on my radio show, Get Motivated With Jonathan JDOGG Lederman. It was through these lessons that I learned the importance of keeping calm and giving. I learned that when you are authentic about your giving that you are rewarded. Sometimes it is a matter of simply giving of yourself that creates opportunities for personal, professional, and spiritual growth. The lessons learned over the last several days have allowed me to see that it is when I am focused, centered, and grounded with the intention of helping others that my life flows in a positive manner. I have learned that in tough situations it is important to stay calm and keep giving love and compassion to others. It is important to focus on the good that can come of all situations by remembering that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. 
As Hurricane Irma circled over my condo I had many close calls and as the power went off I thought wow now is a good time to simply pray and meditate. As I prayed and asked GOD to protect me and everyone in the path of this disastrous storm I realized that in my life there have been many close calls and some how each time I experienced a close call I came out of it spiritually stronger as the divinity inside of me became more and more awakened. As the storm subsided and life took on a sense of normalcy I realized there are many who will have to rebuild as this storm took many of the materialistic items that people had accumulated over time. My mom, who was called home to GOD on July 5, 2012 after suffering a massive heart attack while battling non-operable metastatic lung cancer used to say if money can fix it everything will be all right. She was correct to a certain extent as you can not replace memories or the warmth of a home you grew up in or the items that had sentimental value. As the storm passed I remembered the teaching that if GOD brought me to it God will bring me through it. I thanked GOD for keeping the damage to my community minimal and then I prayed that he would make everyone whole and complete. This close call made me realize just how lucky I was to make it through the storm and how fortunate I am to have talents to use to be of service and value to others.
Today(9/5/2017) I decided as part of my spiritual awakening I would do a social experiment to see peoples reactions to me enforcing the no parking in the fire lane as I was at Citibank. It was pretty amazing to see the reactions as I simply told people that they were in a fire lane and that it would be appreciated if they moved their vehicle. Oh the reaction that I got most began to argue as ask who the f was I others said mind your own f’ing business. One lady was very nice and apologetic. I was amazed that of the 10 people I encountered that 9 were quick to anger and resorted to name calling instead of holding themselves accountable. As I sat in reflection I came to the understand that there will always be people who think they are above the law or that they don’t have to obey laws. These are the same people who have not evolved spiritually and will continue to be ignorant to the spiritual laws that govern us and they will wonder why they struggle in their personal, professional, and spiritual life. The people that don’t know to stay out of the fire lane are the same people who will eventually get burnt and then want to blame others for their mistake. It is funny one of the guys kept arguing and yelling even after he moved his car as he kept calling me names and trying to put me down. I simply though you are the one who parked in the fire lane but I am the bad one for calling you out on it. That is the problem with our society today as people do not want to be accountable and thus try to put the blame on others. Life would be so much easier for people if they stayed out of The Fire Lane. Think of the fire lanes that you are parking in as you begin to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life. The key is to stay out of the fire lane and leave that open for emergency vehicles. In our spiritual awakening those emergency vehicles are GOD, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels. In allowing room for the emergency vehicles you allow yourself to be open to the messages being delivered so that you can take action and keep on moving.
