Spiritual Awakening: 2013 Rose Parade Holds Messages Of Spiritual Awakening!!!

Spiritual Awakening: 2013 Rose Parade Holds Messages of Spiritual Awakening!!!

 

 From the opening segment when Hanah Storm and Josh Elliot welcomed the international tv audience to The Rose Parade to the final presentation by Coco Jones you could feel the warmth and the spiritual energy of the parade. Each float contained a story of hope and inspiration, especially the Canines With Courage Float which stoped along the route to allow a solider coming home from Afganistan to walk the routs to be reunited with his wfe and child. This scene brought tears to me as I began to realize one of the spiritrual messages and that is the mesage of love and hope to all. I witnessed many examples of spirituality during the parade such as the partnership between a  high school band from San Jose and China showing us that the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations. I witnessed the float dedicated to The National Organ Donor Foundation and remembered that my license reflects that I am an organ donor. The commentators framed the message that reflects balance as they explained that the float represents tears of sorrow and tears of joy. This shows us the pricinciple that there is a circle of life and when one life is called home another comes to the earthly plain.

Spiritual Awakening: Full Throttle Saloon Teaches Valuable Lesson

         

Spiritual Awakening: Full Throttle Saloon Teaches Valuable Lesson

Most people wouldn’t think that a TV Program based on a business that promotes drinking and scantily clad women during Bike Week in Sturgis, South Dakota would hold a lesson of spirituality. On 12/26/12 I was at home flipping the channels and tuned in to Full Throttle and the show had a message as one of the story lines was of a customer who Michael Balard, the owner of Full Throttle, made feel welcomed. The story was that the man passed away and his daughter was flown in by Michael as she had news that Michael was in her dad’s will.Michael is informed that he was left $1,000,000. As I watched I begin to thin wow what a lesson of spirituality as it shows that being kind and grateful pays off.

        

As Full Throttle ended I sat for a moment and began to think of how simple acts of kindness and gratitude go far in developing our spirituality. It may not bring us a million dollars like it did to Michael Ballard, however it will bring us the riches we seek as we become more and more spiritually awake. It is when you find ways to be a shining light of hope sharing kindness and gratitude that you are rewarded. Please share how you are being kind and what you are grateful for under comments.

Spiritual Awakening: Not An Ending But A New Beginning!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Not An Ending But A New Beginning!!!

December 21, 2012 is where The Mayan Calendar ended and many people marked this as a sign the world was ending.  The reality is that the world was not ending it was taking creating a new beginning as more and more people were becoming action takers and awakening to their true calling. REM’s song featured above tells us of the world ending as we know it as changes are coming and messages are being sent to all of us. It is up to us how we react to the messages of a new beginning.   What messages have you been receiving that you may not have acted upon as you may have been fearful of this new beginning. In many cases what we perceive to be an end is yet a new beginning that will be filled with excitement, wonderment, and opportunities.It may be scary at first as we may not see all the anwswers and all the possibilities, however all will be revealed in due time as everything is in divine order just the way it was meant to be. There will be pain and suffering as the messages are delivered and it is up to us to find the message and reactaccordingly to it. We can look at the negativity or we can choose to look for the positivity as we create a new beginning.

     

Spiritual Awakening: Declaring Your New Beginning

Today say I delare a new beginning where I will cherish my self and love myself so that I can be of service and value to others and watch what begins to appear in your life and how more positive things begin to appear.

Spiritual Awakening: Beatles Deliver Message Of Hope!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Beatles Deliver Message of Hope!!!

 As I watched the gloom and doom of the news this past weekend I turned  inward and began to think that as bad as the media is portraying certain events things are actually getting better. I visited www.happyherald.com to find positive upbeat news and excellent advice columns. As I read the positive stories it reaffirmed my idea that things are getting better. I then began to watch Minute With Maxwell videos done by John Maxwell and as I watched these videos I realized that it is up to ne as an individual to enhance my personal and professional life to make things better.  I then began to read about action takers like Leslie Bruce and Karen Binnette Goldberg Raport of Feel The Hugs and their mission through www.feelthehugs.com. Then the phone rang and it was Shanta Tanksley from www.labonitakidz.com sharing good news about the magazine. Then I went back into Starbucks and I witnessed a random act of senseless kindness when a gentleman in line bought the women in front of him a coffee. The ideea is that things are getting better.

Spiritual Awakening: Ways To Use The Beatles Message To Sow Your Good!!!

 Across ouir universe we are all divinely connected and when we recognize each others divineness we being to sow our good and make things better. There are many ways to make things better:

1:     Rick Figley and Stacy Sossner taught me this amazing pricincipal and I thought using it to greet people or say goodbye to people would be a great thing as it resets many situations and allows for people to move forward in a positive direction. I recommend that as you go through the day to share this greeting or salutations and then recognize how the environment around you changes.

Spiritual Awakening:New Beginnings Inspired By President Obama

Spiritual Awakening: New Beginnings Inspired By President Obama

As I watched President Obama’s reaction to the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut  on Friday and then again on Sunday one thought continued to come to me a time for new beginnings.  I then turned to Ecclesiastes 3:1 and began to contemplate the reason for what seems another senseless act of violence and as I closed my eyes a thought occured to me that the 26 lives lost in this tragedy and the families affected give us reason to come together and begin to rebuild our country by turning to love and foregiveness and seeking ways to connect with others. We all now have a purpose and that is to get to know our neighbors and if they or their children are strugling to help them in any way we can. We now have a purpose to improve our mental health system, share the idea of spirituality with others, make others feel important. It is sad that it takes events such as The Sandy Hook Elementary Shooting to wake us up to our spirituality.

Spiritual Awakening: 12/14/12 Connecticut Shooting Holds Valuable Lesson?

Spiritual Awakening: 12/14/12 Connecticut Shooting Holds Valuable Lesson!!!!

  At least 26 people were killed in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, an official said. The gunman, who is dead, was reportedly the son of a teacher at the school read the first line of a news story today. Then all the comments came in across the social media with the ususal questions what makes someone especially a son do this,  how could GOD allow this to happen, what can we do to help, and what is the lesson in this?

We may never know why a son would shhot and kill his Mom. As many of you who read this blog regularly know I recently lost my mom on July 5, 2012 as she was called home by GOD after she suffered a massive heart attack and a day doesn’t go by that I wish I had one more hour just to share. I did manage to find a bit of irony in the photo as The Dunkin Donuts cup says joy and finding joy in the face of this tragedy will be the toughest thing for the community to face.

Spiritual Awakening: 12/12/12 Another Day Or A Day Of Awakening?

Spiritual Awakening: 12/12/12 Another Day Or A Day Of  Awakening?

 As I awoke today I began to ponder the meaning of 12/12/12 and realized that it is another power energy day where certain portals will be made available to those who are on a spiritual path to become more enlightened and thus to continue their expansion and their quest for transformation so as to positively impact the world. Tapping into the number of positive energy fields today will help you to become an action taker where your anthem will allow you to have an awakening and to follow your calling. Today can be a great day to affect change in your personal and professional life as you begin to come alive and get involved with your community. Those reoccurring dreams and messages can now be acted upon with the confidence that you will be emotionally ballanced and the outcomes will be favorable. You feelings will be powerful and more easily understood today.One way to create more positive energy today is to engage in fellowship by sharing encouraging words with all those you come in contact with. A smile will go along way in tapping into the positive energy of today. The way you react to the flow today will help in answering the question is today just another day or is a day for awakening?

Spiritual Awakening: Tragic Events Like Hurricane Sandy Lead To Positive Shift!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Tracgic Events Like Hurricane Sandy Lead To Positive Shift!!!

 

    

It has been about 5 weeks since Hurricane Sandy ravaged The Northeastern part of The United States and there are many families who are still digging out and rebuilding what was lost. In the direct aftermath of the storm people were coming out and doing relief efforts and the news media was all over the story. Relief efforts are still underway and yet the news cameras are gone and the general public has seemed to have moved on to other endeavors. A storm in many cases is the catlyst that is needed to bring people together for a positive shift. It is sda that it takes a tragic event to wake people up to the idea that being kind and helping your neighbors is the right thing to do.  Many times we have a power to help others and do the right thing long before a storm hits. By being a person of action before, during, and after a storm you can create a positive shift to enhance your life and the lives of those you come in contact with. There are those who will say a storm like Hurricane Sandy was a message from GOD to us all that he is very upset by the way we are living in our country and how we are treating one another.

Spiritual Awakening: Rocky, The Karate Kid, Mandisa & CNN HEROES Inspire Greatness!!!

Spiritual Awakening:Rocky, The Karate Kid, Mandisa, & CNN Heroes Inspire Greatness!!!

I am asked on many occassions JDOGG what do you use to stay focused, motivated, and grounded?  I ususally answer I use songs that have a message or a calming effect like the ones above. I sit quietly just listening to the music and bock everything else out. When the song ends I will remain quiet and began to visulaize desired outcomes that I seek and that helps to motivate me. Many time what I visualized comes to fruition as I recall the feelings and begin to take action. I have a few songs that I listen to that have become anthems for me like the folowing:



By using rituals like listening to Janet Lee Kraft, Reading Rev. Dr. Dee Adio-Moses, and reading Mary Morrissey I have found on the days that I do this I am super motivated and don’t allow negative energy to affect me.  I have found that by being motivated and going with the flow and increasing the positive vibrations and being a shining light that good things happen. I walked into a small paint store in West Boca on 441 south of Palmetto Park and the women and man there were very open and receptive and they each gave a dollar and took brocures for The American Cancer Society Relay for Life of West Boca Raton. We spoke about helping the small business owners. This motivated me to continue.

Spiritual Awakening: Bob Dylan Sparks Change!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Bob Dylan Sparks Change!!!!

Inspired by Bob Dylan’s songs Times They Are Changing and The Answer is Blowing in the Wind while  I sat at Starbucks in Plantation, FL I got up took a walk outside and realized just how things are changing and that stepping outside to listen to nature and slow down for a moment how clear the answers come through.  I asked a question about affecting change and then I sat down to receive the answer and it came with several messages like write about it, make a change in your life, and then spark others to change.  Bob Dylan influenced many to make positive changes and recognized that change is always occurring around us and that the answers are also all around us. When you make a positive change in your life such as eliminating negative people and your own negative thoughts you begin to see things in a better light and then the answers you are seeking become clearer. Sometimes making a change is hard as you feel you are doing the right thing when in reality you are holding yourself back and thus need a spark for change. What or who is sparking a change in you?
