Spiritual Awakening: Going The Distance!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Going The Distance!!!

       It has been 45 years since I made the commitment to go the distance when it comes to being of service and value to others. In those 45 years I have had several spIiritual awakenings and each one has gotten me closer to going the distance to obtain spiritual enlightenment. Every step of my journey has taught me valuable lessons that I hope will assist you in your quest to evolve personally, professionally, and spiritually. I have come to realize that we are all divine children of GOD and GOD wants us to prosper so that we can prosper others. I have also come to undertand that we are all at different places on our spiritual path and we must meet each other where we are so that we can be lifters. I have also learned that not everyone will resonate with your message so it is imperative to finmd the ones that do resonate with your message and surround yourself with those people. In making the conscious effort to go the distance you will begin to find your purpose and thus you will begin to manifest that which is neccessary to live a life of purpose. In finding your purpose and becoming an action taker you set in motion for wehat you were born to do while living on this earth.

      It is said that the two greatest days in a person’s life are the day they are born and the day they discover why. It is finding your why that you begin to awaken by coming alive and answering your calling to make changes that will improve your community. Many times as you evolve spiritually you will be able to go the distance by stepping into your power and understanding that you were born for this. As you continue to go the distance it is important to remember that you can fight through the pain and the challenges for if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. It is imperatibe that you attract positive energy flow into your life so you can finish your misson to positively impact the lives of others. The time for you is now as you continue on  apath to greatness by staying centered, focused, and grounded. One key to going the distance is to be grateful for what you have and to show appreciation in all that you do through out the day.

        We all have the ability to go the distance and to tap into our inner divinity so that we can create the life we desire while we help others to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. We have the opportunity to enhance our life and the lives of others by walking in our truth and going the distance. I have come to comprehend the idea that what the mind can conceive, and the heart can believe you can achieve. Be the creator that you were meant to be and make a commitment to go the distance. Over the years I have taken action on many things and most of the times I have met with success. A few times I had set backs but each time I had a set back I took time to consult with The Ascended Masters, The Angels, GOD, and Jesus thus allowing me to continue on my spiritual journey that will one day have a finish line. If you face adversity on the way to the finish line simply turn to the scriptures and gain your strength back so that you can go the distance.

As you continue to go the distance you may desire to see the great nature that is a round you and the peacefulness that will engulf you when you decide to see the beauty that GOD has created. When you feel stuck and you want to stop simply take a breath and turn to GOD and GOD will help you go the distance. I have experienced many hardships and have wanted to quit but I didn’t I simply prayed that GOD would help me overcome the obstacles and allow mew to go the distance. Each day when you wake up as GOD to guide you so that you can go the distance. When you feel you have gonme the distance on a particular project ask GOD what is next for you so you can continue to go the distance.

Spiritual Awakening: Believe In You!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Believe In You!

     As 2022 is now in its 23rd day it is imperative for you to decalre that this year will be a year where you believe in yourself and start to take action to turn your dreams into reality. Over the 1st 23 days of this year I have had an opportunitty to reflect on the times when I felt the most successful and I concluded that most of my best success came when I believed in my self and took action to act upon my goals. I have found that when you believe in yourself and you stay focused, centered, and grounded you can exceed any goals and objectives that you set for yourself. I have also discovered that when you believe in yourself and continue to stay connected to GOD that you will be provided the tools and resources to succeed. I have also come to realize that when you believe in yourself and find your purpose that you will become limitless.

      It is through believing in yourself and  understanding the reason that you are here that you will expand your spiritual awakening. It is your time to be an action taker. Now is your time to come alive and to answer your calling whille being the change that yiu want to see in the world. It is through being of service and value to others that you make a positive impact in your community. When you believe in yourself you begin to clear blockages that may be holding you back from reaching your full potential. It is your time to believe in you and create a flow of energy that takes away fear and negativity.

      When you believe in yourself you take away any fear that may be stopping you in your pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. It is when we begin to overcome fear and face everything and rise by believing in our self that we tap into our inner divinity and find our talents thus allowing us to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives and into the lives of others. I have seen some great things happen because I believed in myself and took the neccessary action to move forward in the positive direction of my goals. I recently launched a project, JDOGG’S JERSEYS OF HOPE, to benefit The American Cancer Society and I have been successful in securing a few jerseys that will be used to raise funds for research, education, advocacy, and services. I have always believed that all you have to do is ask and have overcome the fear of being told no as I have found that every no gets you closer to a yes. In believing in yourself you will begin to find success comes a bit easier everyday. It is your time to believe in yourself and to find your talent and to use your talent for good. It is your day to become a bliever and to reap the benefits that come with a spiritual awakening.

       It is when you believe in yourself that you arer able to manifest the life that you want to create form yourself. It will take a daily practice of walking in your truth to bring things to fruition. It will take you following your passion and taking action so you can find success. It is time for you to believ that you are the best there is  the best there was and the best that will ever be. This may sound a bit cocky but it is a neccessity to move forward and growing personally, professionally, and spiritually. It has been stated that if you believe you can or if you beleive you can’t you are right. It is time to beleive that you can.

     It is your season to step into your power and unleash the power you have inside of yourself to move forward along your spiritual path so that you can create bliss and abundance. When you begin to believe in yourself and take action by eliminating the doubters, the haters, and the naysayers you begin a journey that will allow you to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Don’t allow anyone to tell you it can not be done take action and prove them wrong. I remember telling someone that I wanted to be a pa announcer and they said you have no training how are you going to do that. I answered I am going to practice and study the craft and then volunteer to so youth sports games. They said you can’t do that. I said yes I can and since announcing my first youth sports game I have become a paid announcer and have been able to use my skills to not only announce but to also emcee events and to do voice overs simply because I believed in myself. It is when you beleive in yourself that you set things in motion to succeed by following your passion. It is your time to become the man in the arena by committing to believing in yourself and becoming an action taker.

It is you time to dare greatly and experience the wins that come from believing in yourself. When you experience a defeat simply dust yourself off and get back up and reaffirm your belief in yourself. Stay Positive. Namaste.

Spiritual Awakening: Getting Back On Track!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Getting Back On Track!!!

     How many times during your spiritual awakening have you been knocked down and disconnected and taken off your spiritual path? Did this take you off track? If you found yourself off track did you find ways to get back up and to get back on track? In the past 17 months I have had a few set backs and have felt like I was off track however I took a look back on what I needed to do and what I should be focusing on and it hit me that it is time to get back on track and have a championship mindset and become an action taker once more.

    IN tappiong into the championship mindset I was reminded that when you seem to be off track to simply stop take a breathe and understand that if GOD broughtn you to it GOD will bring you throughm it and then to simply continur on your spiritual journey making adjustments along the way. I have had some troubling times in the 56 years that I have been on earth and I have learned that you need to be strong and to overcome adversity by being in touch with your inner divinity and realizing that you are a divine child of GOD and GOD wants you to prosper so you can prosper others. One thing that has helped me to get back on track is knowing that GOD loves a cheerful giver.

     It is when things seem the darkest that GOD will bring you into the light as long as you continue to pray and praise. It is in the giving that you open the channels to receive. Sometimes the giving can be something as simple as buying a lunch for a stranger who was begging for money and sharing some guidance and kind words. It is when you give and utilize your talents for good that you can get back on track and be the change that you want to see in this world. It is when you find your way back that you can reconnect with GOD, Jesus, Spirit, and Source thus allowing you the opportunity to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life.  It is in staying on track and listening to the messages for GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels that you can find your way back to opportunites to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.

        It is when you find your way back and you live your life on purpose that you can get back on track and to stay on a path that will allow you continue toward spiritual enlightenment. It is in getting back on track that you will find that you will have more success. I have found that it is important to stay on track and to take actions that allow you to move forward in a positive direction of your goals and objectives. In the last 17 months I have found myself focusing on some of the negatives instead of being grateful for the positives. To get back on track I am assuming an attitude of gratitude while also doing my best to control what I can and understanding that there will be times when I can’t control things. I have come to realize that it is time to dance on GOD’s Great Dance Floor and to stay on track by staying connected to GOD.

      It is when you are track and connected to GOD that you can achieve greatness as you tap into the power that you have inside and use it to make your place on earth a bit better for all those you come in contact with. It is through dancing on GOD’S Great Dance Floor that you will shine your light and illuminate the world as you continue to be of service and value to others. There will be challenges and there will be those who are doubters, haters, and naysayeeers but know one thing you can overcome them all and become stronger as you get back on track. It is when you reach down deep inside and make a few changes that you can get back on track and thus creating the life that you want for yourself. Now it is your time to get back on track and to thrive.

The time to thrive starts now so get back up and get back on track to continue your spiritual journey. Put all the negative thinbgs asisde and know that today is the day the lord hath made so be glad and rejoice in it so as to stay on track and to make a positive impact. Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Finding A Way!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Finding A Way!

    As the day began today (11/30/2021) I realized that today is Giving Tuesday so I decided to give you the gift of this 22 minute video that will help you to find your way. As you awaken spirituality and journey on your spiritual path it is important to find the way and to tap into your inner divinity so that you can shine your light and illuminate the world. I have come to find that if GOD brings you to it GOD will bring your through it and that GOD will not give you anything that you can not handle. It is in finding our way along our spiritual path we grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Life is going to throw some challenges your way however you have a power to overcome these challenges and to become stronger in mind, body, and soul. The journey in finding your way will strengthen you as you get a sense of purpose and accomplishment as you put your passion into action and thus find success.

As the frequent readers of this blog know I am very active with The American Cancer Society Relay For LIfe. People ask me why I am so passionate about planting the seeds of hope and healing for those touched by cancer and my answer is very simple because cancer has affected many of my friends and families including my MOM who was called home to GOD on July 5, 2012 after suffering a massive heart attack after battling non-operable metastatic lung cancer. In finding my way I have come to realize that when we find our why we can stay connected to GOD, Jesus, Spirit, Source, and The Ascended Masters thus making our path clearer so that we can exceed our goals and objectives. 2022 marks the 25th that I will be participating in Relay For Life. In those 25 years I have had some awesome moments and some moments that have challenged me. I have come up with comcepts that I though would have an out pouring of support but they did not have the success that I had hoped to have. THrough it all I have stayed focused on the mission to celebrate lives, save lives, and to lead lead the way in the fight against cancer. When things seemed tough I mangaged to find a way to meet my goal. Such was the case for 2021 I had set a goal to raise $2500 and I was a bit short but the universe delivered as I found out about in person 4th of july celebrations in The City Of Tamarac, City Of Sunrise, and The City Of Plantation. I took action and went to each event and collected donations and as a result I reached the goal of raising at least $2500. For the 2022 Relay For Life I have set a goal of raising $2500 and have set up a fundraising page at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2022.

      When you feel that you are off the siritual path turn to GOD and ask GOD to show you the way. The message you receive will help you to become an action and to continue in your spiritual journey for you are a divine child of GOD meant to prosper so that you can prosper others. When you continue to find your way you will find that you attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life thus allowing you to shine your light so that you can illuminate the world. It is important to realize that as you find your way many people will not resonate with what you are doing and that is okay for there will be many that do so focus on those who are lifting you and supporting you and leave the doubters, haters, and naysayeers behind. If you find yourself getting knocked down remember to land on your back because if you can look up you can back up.

      In my quest to find my way I have always gotten back up and realized that as long as I have a breath in my body I have a duty to be of service and value to others by using my talents for good so that I will leave my little piece of the planet better than I found it. It is up to each of us to lift each other up as we find a way to make our world a better place by showing others that service to humanity is the best work of life. I have stated that if you have a chance to help others take that chance as it may not only chage that person’s life but it may also change your life.

Spiritual Awakening: The Gratitude Game!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Gratitude Game!!!

Along the spiritual path as we awaken to what we can become there will be periods of darkness however eve in the dark there will be something that we are grateful for that will propel us toward the light where we will find our true power and our calling. Today (11/25/2021) is Thanksgiving here in the United States and today many will get together with family and friends to celebrate however there will also be many that find themselves alone or separated from their families. Thos that are by themselves or separated from their families may be having a difficult time finding something to be grateful fo so please help to shine a light of hope on them and give them something to be thankful for today and everyday.  I was asked what I was grateful for and the first thing I thought of was my brother, Richard, who has helped me tremendously. I then thought of all the people who continue to help me in my quest to help those touched by cancer by visiting http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2022 and make donations. I am also grateful for the many opportunities that I have had to use my talents for good by being of service and value to others. I am grateful that I have been able to take action and accomplish some good things in my life such as being a published author with chapters in Sources Of Wisdom Book 2 and Sources of Wisdom Book 3, being named the Munford C. Johnson Community Service Award Winner, being a recipient of and American Cancer Society Hope Award, being named one of the top 5 Jaycees in America, and most importantly being able to have a positive impact on the people I come in contact with each day. Now is a great. time to play the gratitude game and journal each day about something you are grateful for and how it makes you feel.

17 Attitude Of Gratitude Quotes To Unlock True Gratefulness

As I continue to awaken spiritually I begin to understand the importance of focusing on the good that is happening in my life as opposed to the bad that may pop up from time to time. Over the last few weeks I was consumed by some negative things that happened in my life and couldn’t seem to shake them until I sat in meditation and began to release the events and remember that there is more good in my life than bad and that I have the power to make changes so that I am surrounded by positivity thus allowing me to to have a grateful heart. The key to spiritual growth is having a grateful heart and having the ability to fully comprehend the concept that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. Many time we say things are happening to us when in reality they are happening for us. The hardships that may enter into our lives are placed there by GOD to teach us lessons and to make us stronger. Sometimes all it takes to change the way things are going is to play the gratitude game and list things that you are grateful for today.

Imagine if each day you chose a few people to say thank you to or show some form of appreciation to how your day might improve. I remember a few years ago when my DAD was still alive we went to Boston Market for Thanksgiving and I gave out thank you cards to the staff. You would have thought I gave them a million dollars. The manager came over and told me that was one of the nicest things someone had done for them and that he appreciated me taking the time to write the cards. I left feeling like I made a positive impact so I decided to write cards to the staff at Starbucks where I frequent and to the Publix employees and anyone who I came in contact with. This has now become part of the gratitude game. Think about it what does it take to say thank you or to write a thank you note or simple get someone a token of your appreciation. Today for thpose having Thanksgiving with their friends and family take a moment to thank the host and those who have allowed you to have a joyous moment.

Spiritual Awakening: Don’t Stop!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Don’t Stop!!!

      As you experience a spiritual awakening you will have moments that will having you wanting to stop as you feel you have gone far enough in your journey. When those moments come into your life take a moment to remember that you are a divine child of GOD and GOD wants you to prosper so that you can prosper others. Many times people throw in the towel and stop and never realize their full potential. Today we are bombarded with many doubters, haters, and naysayeers who will nebver understand why we continue to fight on to reach our goals and dreama. We must block those people out and continue on our path and move forward in a positive direction of our dreams. There are going to be circumstances that we can not control such as decisions that other people make. When we want to stop we must reach down deep inside of our selves and remember that we have a power that needs to be unleashed so as to pistively impact our lives and the lives of others. IT is time to be a warrior.

       It is when we have a warrior mindset that we can continue on our spiritual journey toward enlightment thus allowing us to shine our light and illuminate the world. Many times we have a tendacy to over analyze and worry about so much that we stop right before a break through is about to happen. The time is now to find your stride and to continue on your path to greatnesss and you were born to be great. I have had moments where I wanted to quit because I felt that people were not resonating with my message and were not responding to me like I would have liked them to but after I took a moment to reflect I remembered that I must not stop because if I stop my mission to be of service and value to others I stop growing personally, professionally, and spiritually. It is time to step up and get back up and achieve the goals I have set for myself and I encoiurage yiu to do the same.

Framed Don't Quit Poem Print

Many times when you want to quit simply rest and reflect but do not stop as you have a inner divinity inside of you to tap into to make a connection with GOD so that you can attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. It is in the times that seem the hardest that we find the strength to perservere and become stronger understanding that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. I have had many ideas that I have implemented that I didn’t get the response that I was hoping for and I wanted to stop and simply fade away but I knew if I di that that I would only be shrt changing myself and the people that I was meant to help. In the last few months I have had some challenges in my fundraising efforts for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and I wanted to give up and stop as I thought after 25 years of fundraising I have done enough and it is time for someone else to do what I have done and then I am reminded why I continue to do what I do and not to stop because there are so many people who actually appreciate what I do. After a few negative encounters I simply took a moment to mediate and through the meditation the message I received I began to comprehend the idea that some will, some won’t, some waiting, so what, next. I have come to understand that when you put yourself out there you will encounter some people who are simply not interested in anything you are doing but those that are meant to help will be put in your path. Sometimes it is simply a matter of being committed to finish what yiou started. When you feel like giving in and stopping remember that you are here for a reason.

       It is when you finmd you purpose and your reason that you begin to tap into the resources that will not allow you to stop. I have found that for every no or negative interaction there are more yeses and more positive interactions to come. IT is time to focus on the positive interactions and to understand that I am going to encounter excuse makers and action takers. It is importsant to show gratitude for the action takers and to simply let the excuse makers pound sand. It is your time to soar.

Spiritual Awakening: Don’t Pull The Trigger!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Don’t Pull The Trigger!!!

Pin on Quotes

In today’s crazy mixed up world many people are on edge and triggered very easily so much to the point that anything you say or do may set them off thus we need to be careful for their actions can adversely affect us when we react so don’t be quick to pull the trigger. On October 25, 2021 I hosted a Give Back Night at Lime Fresh Grill in Plantation, FL to benefit The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. The staff was amazing and allowed me to hand out fliers and also to set up a make me an offer table to raise additional funds for research, education, advocacy, and services. Most of my enounters were good and many people told me to keep up the great work. I even met a cancer survivor who said she wanted to be part of the Relay For Life. The night was going well until I approached a table where there was a couple with a  few dogs and a young child. I began to hand them a flier and was yelled out to step back from the child which I started to do I turned to pull up my mask and the next thing I knew the man was up in my face yelling at me I tried to walk away and the man shoved me I stepped up a bit to get around him and he knocked my fliers out of my hand and I continued to walk away and he shouted to the woman call the poice and then shouted at me that you are going to jail tonight. The police came and spoke to me taking down my info of my account of what happened and spoke to him and then some other patrons and then came back to me and asked if I wanted to press charges. I said no I just want to go about what I am doing and that is helping people with cancer. The police office then said he had to do a report but it would go no further. I said okay and the officer and I then had a good interaction about me basically growing up in the area and how I have been a volunteer with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life for 25 years.  As I thought about it I began to think how many people simply get triggered when someone approaches them. I understand they don’t know me however I am very polite and cordial when I approach them. The issue is many people are quickly triggered and resort to being aggreesive which creates more issues than it is worth. A simple can you please pull up your mask would have sufficed and giving me time to pull up my mask would have quelled the entire situation. As a result of this encounter I am able to share with you some advice and that is don’t pull the trigger.

In many encounters when people are not interested it is best to take a deep breath and to remember that what you are doing will not resonate with everyone. It is unfortunate that so many people are on edge these days and many be acting out of fear due to the information they have been exposed to in their daily lives. Over the last few weeks I have been watching videos of interactions that have gone bad and the key common factor is that there is always an instigator that escalates the situation because they pull the trigger. I believe that our nation needs a spiritual awakening and then we must not pull the trigger and that it is imperative to understand that we are all divine children of GOD and that GOD wants us to propser so that we can prosper others. I have come to understand that some will, some won’t, some waiting, so what , next is a good philosophy to have as not everyone will be open and receptive to what you are sharing. It is unfortubnate that there are people that are not open to receive. As a result of them being closed off to receiving information or interacting with others in a respectful way they lose out. Hypothetically speaking what if I was giving out coupons for them to use on their next visit and they waved me off they lose out on the opportunity to save money or even get free items. I have always said to listen to others when you have the opportunity because you never know what can comne from the interaction. In my 40 plus years of fundraising I have seen many changes in the attitudes of people. I have had many people triggered as I have simply asked them for assistance and I have had many people be open and receptive and thus helped me with my effort to be of service and value to others. I simply hope that people will think twice when they are triggered and not be aggressive and mean and understand that when you help others you help yourself for whn you give you open up channels to receive. So the next time a stranger approached you be opnme to listen unless they are putting your life in danger. Don’t be quick to pull the trigger. Stay Positive!!!

Spiritual Awakening: What Will Your Legacy Be!!!

Spiritual Awakening: What Will Your Legacy Be!!!

     One question that is an integral part of the spiritual awakening process is what legacy will I leave when I am called home to GOD? Will you be known as the person who was of service and value and touched many lives and left people and communities better than when you found them. I started thinking about the question of what your legacy will be as I have experienced the loss of several loved ones and friends over the last few years and each person left an impression not only on me but on those they came in contact with while they were here on earth. Will you be the one that is remembered for living a purpose driven life and being someone of service and value? Will you be the person who amassed some wealth but will be remembered for sharing it and lifting those you could? As a Public Address Announcer I get to visit many different venues many that are named for people who had a positive impact on the community. I believe the greatest gift we can give to anyone in leaving a legacy is the gift of caring.

      Will you be the person who is so passionate about helping others that you would give up everything so that those who come after you will have hope, peace, love, joy, and prosperity in their lives. Will you be the one who stands up for the less fortunate and underserved leaving a legacy for others to follow? Will you be the one who detaches from outcomes and follows your heart understanding that what the mind can conceive and the heart can believe you can achieve? Will you be the one who lives you life to the fullest and comes alive by making positive changes in the community?

       How will people remember you? Will you be the one that leaves an indelible mark on the places where you live, work, and play. Now is your time to become the person in the arena and to give it all you have and to leave a legacy that will inspire future generations.

Man in the Arena Speech - Theodore Roosevelt 1910

Now it is your turn to tap into your inner divinity and to use your talents for good as you become the person in the arena. Instead of complaining it is time to take action and to become a problem solver so that when your judgement day comes your legacy will be one that spreads positivism throughout the community. In your walk of life as you journey along your spiritual path it is important to ask yourself am I living a life of joy and is my life bringing joy to others? If you can say yes to those two questions your legacy will be one that inspires and empowers others to move on in a positive direction of their goals and objectives.  You can leave a great legacy simply by being a giver and paying it forward and sharing a few dances along the way.

People will come into our lives to help us to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually as we dance on GOD’S great dance floor looking to leave a legacy that brings bliss and abundance to others. Some times it will take a bit of pain to get to the dance. When the pain subsides and you are able to channel it into positive energy you are able to leave a legacy for others to follow and continue your work to positively impact the lives of others. Now is your opportunity to leave a legacy that will shift the paradigm of our society to positivism and hope. Now is your time time to shine your light and illuminate the world so that when you are gone your legacy will be one of kindness and love. You have an opportunity to simply make the world a better place by being kind to others. Think about how you want to be remembered and then when you take actions ask yourself if this action will serve the ultimate goal as to how you want to be remembered.

       As you work on leaving a legacy of positivism remember that passion + action = success. It in now time to allow yourself to follow your passion and become an action taker and to choose to leave a legacy that will lead to others doing things that will enhance their life and the lives of others. In all you do be live your life on purpose so that when GOD calls you home people will speak highly of you while also doing things in your honor. May you create a great legacy!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Pleasant Surprises Grow Spirituality!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Pleasant Surprises Grow Spirituality!!!

May be an image of 1 person and text that says 'Jonathan Lederman Relay For Life Volunteer T thank 1 you. for being the heart of our mission.'

It was pleasant surprise to see this recognition in my Facebook Feed today (4/19/2021). I immediately dropped to my knees and thanked GOD for giving me the power to use my talents for good. As I prayed and gave thanks to GOD I began to realize just how important gratitude is to the spiritual awakening process. After I prayed I made it a point to post a thank you comment for this recognition. As I have been going through the spiritual awakening process I have come to understand that there will be many surprises that come your way that will lead to personal, professional, and spiritual grow. Many times it is just a matter of tapping into your inner divinity and then releasing your GOD given talents onto the world. 2021 marks my 24th year as a volunteer with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and over the years I have been surprised by the generosity that has been shown in my efforts to provide hope, progress, and answers to those touched by cancer. I remember the night I decided to get involved in The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I sat in a meeting of The Coral Springs Jaycees and they had a speaker from The American Cancer who spoke of a new event which was Relay For Life. I immediately signed up to be part of The American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Coral Springs as I had recently lost my grandfather to prostate cancer and was mad at the world and I found that Relay would turn my anger into purpose. Through out the years I have lost many to various types of cancer and they are my reason to relay so that one day no one has to hear the words you have cancer. In taking action and answering the call to be of service and value I have been able to come alive and make positive changes that have impacted my life and the lives of others. As I continue to share http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2021 with others I am always pleasantly surprised by how many make donations. I love seeing my fundraising thermometer rise as it fuels me to stay spiritually connected to GOD, Jesus, Source, and Spirit.

     As I listened to this symphonic interlude titled Surprise I began to think back over all the years and all the great surprises that have occurred in my life such as the time I was meeting my family in Williamsburg, Virginia for Thanks Giving. Upon arrival at the hotel I was told to walk down the street to The Williamsburg Inn so I did to find out that my step-dad was able to secure rooms for us at this historic landmark. It was an amazing weekend that allowed me to grow spiritually and upon looking back on that moment I will always be grateful for that time spent and the memories that were created.

As you continue on your spiritual path and grow personally and professionally may you have many pleasant surprises!!!
