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: Keep Pressing On!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Keep Pressing On!!!!

Miami Fury In life you are very lucky if you get an opportunity to do something you love and also get paid for it. I have been fortunate during my spiritual awakening to connect with The Miami Fury Women’s Tackle Football Team and their owner Gayla Harrington. Gayla exemplifies the idea of pressing on and never giving up. She has overcome much adversity in the years that she has owned The Miami Fury. Her dedication radiates a spiritual energy to all those she comes in contact with as she is always positive despite any challenges that may be going on in her personal and professional life. As I announced The Miami Fury Game today and witnessed them win the game 42-8 one theme kept reoccurring and that was keep pressing on.

Miami Fury Football The game began and their opponent, The Jacksonville Dixie Blues, looked like they would drive down the field and score then they suffered an intentional grounding penalty, then they snapped the ball over the punter and The Fury recovered at The Dixie Blues 11 yard line and the QB Jessica Childers scored on an 11 yard run to give The Fury a 6-0 lead. The 2 point conversion would fail. The Fury continued to press on and took a 22-0 lead. The Dixie Blues would return the kickoff for a TD and convert on a 2 point try making the score 22-8. The Fury would press on and play hard to eventually win 42-8.  As I walked down from the press box I saw the players and coaches from both teams gathered at mid field in a prayer circle. As the game unfolded I would do shout outs for the cure and would learn  about the passing of Michael Childers, Jessica Childers’ Uncle. I would summon up some strength to have everyone do a moment of remembrance. The game elicited many angles that are part of the spiritual awakening process. It had many moments of joy tinged with some sadness illustrating the balance in our lives. In life we will have joy and bliss but we will also experience sadness and despair.  We will experience ups and downs. We will win and we will lose. The key is to understand that all that happens happens for us and contains a lesson to propel us along our spiritual journey so that we can have spiritual enlightenment.

Spiritual Awakening: Straight From Your Heart!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Leading With Your Heart!!!!

 As I emceed Worldfest in Coral Springs, FL on 4/6/2014 I decided to be led by my heart and allow things to flow as they were designed to flow and the day went off without any issues. I adopted the theme that the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations and I used my platform as an emcee to remind people of being loving toward their neighbors. I was able to use words like peace, love, joy, and prosperity to spread a message to those in attendance to remind them all that they are divine children of GOD and have something great to offer the world. It was my hope that I could share a little spirituality with the audience so that they would also become more awake and aware and thus celebrate the diversity that makes our communities great. In the spiritual awakening process it is important to understand that though we may all come from different backgrounds we are all still connected by our own divinity.  In one of my announcements yesterday I explained Namaste and had everyone get up and hug the person they were seated next to. This was an awkward setting for some as they were not used to interacting with a stranger in this manner. Many were reluctant to participate in the HUG but those that did told me they felt a shift in themselves. As Worldfest was winding up I made my rounds to the food vendors and many of them thanked me for all the announcements and told me how great my voice was. I invited several to appear on my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com on Tuesday at 6:30 PM EDT. My Worldfest experience showed me what happens when you come straight from the heart.

 On of the biggest steps we can take in the spiritual awakening process is to open up our heart and make cellular level connections by being in tune with our divinity and the divinity in others. Though ET was different he and Elliot formed a bond of friendship based on being of service and value to each other.  In turning on your heart light you open the many channels that will lead to you experiencing peace, love, joy, and prosperity. You will begin to find more clarity when you lead straight from you heart and answer your calling. You will experience a change where now you are filled with bliss and love and you feel a sense of purpose where in the past maybe you felt fear and anguish because your heart chakra wasn’t open and illuminated.

Spiritual Awakening: Shake It Up!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Shake It Up!!!!!

 As I sat in The Starbuck’s at The Walk today ( 4/4/2014) I started to think how important it is to shake things up during the spiritual awakening process. Sometimes we have to just go with the flow and follow the message that GOD is giving us and understand that sometimes a set back is actually a step forward. In some cases it is GOD’s way of telling you that you deserve to be attracting a better class of clientele to use your services. In some cases it is GOD telling you not to worry about the financial gain or hardship but to understand that all things you need will be provided for you. As I went through a trying situation from 3/23/14 – 4/1/14 with a client over non-payment I struggled with what to do and then I followed the message from spirit and I feel very relieved. Another client who has dealings with the client who did not pay me tried to intervene and it was not their place to do so. I then prayed and GOD reassured me that he had bigger plans for me and wanted me to begin to work with people who were fully capitalized and who understood the responsibility that when you hire someone you pay them in a timely manner. GOD also told me that I needed to shake it up a bit and step into my power more and understand that my calling is to help others but to be compensated for my services.

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.
