A new season, a new month, and a new week with opportunities to become the quarterback of our new beginnings. In the darkest of times we often find great power through the spiritual awakening process that allows us to move from the darkness to the light by calling the right plays and executing the plan that GOD has for us on a daily basis. When my DAD was called home to GOD on June 7, 2018 I didn’t know what I was going to do as I was left on the verge of losing everything as he died without a will and I was only listed on a few of his financials as a signer of beneficiary. I was at a loss and I turned to the ascended masters, GOD, Jesus, and The Angels and they told me simply take it day by day and everything will work out. As an action taker I started to do just that and every day for 53 days I have taken action to get all the affairs in order. As a result I was offered a position with Alexander-Levitt Funeral and Cremation Services. Yes the same place that took of my DAD’S cremation. It turn out that their Pre-Needs Specialist was very impressed with my testimonial that I did for them and asked if I could be a birddog for them meaning I would represent them in the community. I took this as a sign for a new beginning as after my DAD passed I had been seeing many notices across social media about people I knew passing and one thought that kept crossing my mind was were the financially prepared to pay for final arrangements. I know one of the best decisions my DAD made was to have a pre-paid final arrangements plan so I was not left to pay for anything. Now I will have an opportunity to help people gain peace of mind knowing that their pre-planning will alleviate much stress for their families.
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!!!
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.
As I awoke today I realized it has been 15 days since my DAD was called home to GOD. As the new day began to unfold I started to look for ways to fill the void that is filling my heart at this moment. I began to gather some of his clothes to bring to a thrift store that supports different animal charities. I then went to Dunkin Donuts where I was going to meet up a colleague to help with some of his marketing only to receive a text that something came up and he would not be able to meet with me today. Then someone that knew my DAD came in and gave me their condolences. The void of loneliness will be a tough one to fill however with me now looking for work and also getting more engaged with my work with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Sunrise should help to fill the void while allowing me to honor my DAD’S memory and keeping an legacy of kindness and compassion alive. I have come to understand through the spiritual awakening process that GOD, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels will not give us anything that we can not handle. In becoming an action taker we can fill the voids that are creating blockages in our path to become fully evolved in our personal, professional, and spiritual lives. It is filling the voids with positivity that we will attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. IN becoming a person of service and value we will find that the voids are fulfilled and that the lives we come in contact with are enhanced. So many times we focus on what we have lost and not what we have gained that we miss out on the opportunity to become a better version of our higher self because we never filled the voids that were created in our mindset because we continued to come from a position of lack as opposed from a position of abundance. It is when we change our thoughts that our life begins to change. It is when we begin to understand the why of what we do that we begin to manifest the life that we desire. Sometimes it takes a great loss that leaves a void to become the catalyst of change in our life allowing us to move forward in a positive direction of our dreams.
In life as you experience many spiritual awakenings there will be many storms that we must face. We will be given challenges that make us question our own divinity as GOD will bring us to certain situation so as to bring us through those situations so as to make us stronger in mind, body, and soul. Through out time there will be times when we wonder why certain things have happened in the world. As we seek the answers we will be awakened to a truth that at times will be hard to wrap our heads around but as we become more and more spiritually awake we will become enlightened beings understanding that their is a purpose for everything under heaven.
As we weather a storm we begin to awaken more and more spiritually understanding that there is a time for every season under heaven. As we commit to evolving personally, professionally, and spiritually it is important to tune into our inner divinity and allow things to unfold as they were destined to by GOD, The Ascended Masters, Our Arch Angels, and Jesus. It is important to understand that time passes and in every fleeting moment there are lessons to be learned that will enhance us on a personal, professional, and spiritual plane.
Much has transpired in the last 35 days since my last blog entry and I am taking things day by day. ON may 3rd my Dad had a bad fall fracturing his t10 in the spine. He called me telling me not to worry but he couldn’t help me with Relay For Life. He was in excruciating pain and went to the hospital where the admitted him and a few days later they did an MRI. It showed the fracture and he elected to have surgery. The surgery went well and he was improving. He was doing so well they moved him to acute rehabilitation. Unfortunately while there he became non-responsive and wasn’t breathing thus he was rushed to the hospital where he was in ICU. It seemed he was on the mend but on June 7, 2018 at 2:00 AM he wasn’t breathing and he was called home to GOD. It has been a challenging couple of days to say the least however with a strong faith in GOD I have been able to take action and move forward by resolving to take things day to day. I have often stated in this blog that if GOD brings us to it GOD will bring us through it.
As I started to reflect on the time spent with my DAD in the last 35 days I realized just how proud he was of me and what I am doing with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Sunrise. On May 4 I participated in The American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Sunrise and when I spoke to my Dad on May 5 he told me that I was doing great. I have raised $3239 so far. People have asked me what they can do now that my DAD is gone. I tell them just pray from me and be there for me and if you are compelled to honor my dad’s memory please visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg19 and make a donation or send a check or money order made payable to The American Cancer Society and send it to 9141 Sunrise Lakes Boulevard #102 Sunrise FL 33322. As I come to grips with my dad’s passing I realize that time is fleeting and we need to cherish every moment that we are given on this earth. In cherishing the moments and making memories we can carry on in our quest to be action takers thus allowing us to be of service and value to others.
Spiritual Awakening: Welcome To The Land Of Believing!!!
So many times as a child we would be told oh that is a pipe dream or that is impossible and we believed that so we put our dreams on the back burner. People would tell us we were living in a land of make believe so we would listen and leave our dreams by the wayside. Then one day we have an epiphany that we can take action and move in the positive direction of our dreams. Once we experience this spiritual awakening we enter the land of believing and realize that the only thing that can hold us back is ourselves. It is when we shift our beliefs from you can’t do that to you can do that and enter the land of believing that we begin to manifest the life that we want. When we stop listening to the haters, the doubters, and the naysayers and say it doesn’t matter what they think or what anyone thinks all that matters is that I believe in me and GOD and I know that I am capable of great things by doing small things with great love that we begin to see a great shift in our lives. When we begin to truly dwell in the land of believing we grow personally, professionally, and spiritually as we tap into our inner divinity thus allowing us to commit to shining our light bright so as to illuminate the world.
When you enter the land of believing it is important to believe in magic. You have a magical ability to manifest the life that you desire. If you can dream about out you can become it is a belief in the land of the believing that has been proven time and time again for what your mind can conceive, and your heart can believe, you can achieve. It takes some work on your part to make the magi happen. There will be some set backs but it is important not to let the set backs become hold backs. IN the land of believing it is necessary to look at the set back as an opportunity to learn and grow thus allowing you to move forward in a positive direction of your dreams. Those dreams may not manifest quickly so be patient and when GOD is ready to deliver on those dreams and turn them into reality GOD will do just that. In believing in magic and being patient you will begin to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life.
I life you can either stay in or pull out. The action you take will determine the life you make. When you find your rhythm and you begin to vibrate at a high frequency you will find that you are able to accomplish some great things. Today I had the opportunity to visit my old high school and promote The 2018 American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Sunrise. It was great to interact with the kids and get into a groove knowing that I was helping to build momentum for an event that will plant the seeds of hope and healing for those touched by cancer. I then went over to a a couple of supporters from last year and was able to secure their support for this year. In picking a lane and staying focused on taking action I was able to find a rhythm that would lead to positive things happening. In finding a rhythm that works we are able to send out the vibration that will radiate with others and thus allow us to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. In getting into a rhythm we are able to create the life we desire as we are connected to GOD, The Ascended Masters, Jesus, and The Angels. In finding a rhythm that allows us to stay centered, focused, and grounded we are able to make a mind, body, and soul connection that allows us to move forward in a positive direction toward our dreams. It is by understanding our rhythmic vibrations that we are able to face everything and rise instead of forgetting everything and running. When we seek peace and joy in all we do we attract peace and joy into our lives thus allow us to make a joyful noise unto the lord and be rewarded.
It is when we make a joyful noise unto the lord that we can find a positive rhythm that allows us to reach heights that we never imagined. As you stay connected to GOD you will find that your personal, professional, and spiritual life improves as you are keeping the channels open to receive more positivism. In being grateful we increase our vibrations thus enabling us to find a rhythm that propels us forward in our mission to be of service and value to one another. Through out the day take a breath and see how you are vibrating and how your rhythm is. If you find yourself in low vibration and out of rhythm simply stop for a minute and pray. If you have time pop in a meditation and get yourself back into your groove.
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.
