As you awaken spiritually you will find yourself out of focus as you have so many things running through your mind as become more and more aware of the power that you have. To harness this power you are going to want to step back take a deep breathe and focus on your task at hand. As you begin to understand that it is when you are focused you gain clarity of purpose you will see yourself attracting more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. I have come to learn that when you stay focused and alleviate the distractions that your personal, professional, and spiritual life is enhanced. In staying focused you will see that what used to trigger you no longer affects you as you have awakened to the concept that you are a divine child of GOD and GOD wants you to prosper. It is when we stay focused and don’t allow distractions to get in our way that we have the most success.
As I was in a great deal of pain today due to my diabetic nephropathy and other medical conditions I asked GOD to lift me and guide me as it has been a trying time in my life. GOD gave me the strength to go to The American Cancer Society Office to drop of money that I have raised for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. I was going to go home and rest however GOD directed me to Starbucks to work on posting www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo and to send messages. In following GOD’S directions I was able to secure $60 in donations which gets me that much closer to making a mortgage payment. As I continued to share the link I realized that It is GOD who gives us the mighty wings to soar to the greatness that is our birthright. It is GOD who will bring us to challenges and it is GOD who will bring us through challenges. I have come to understand through the spiritual awakening process that GOD will not give us anything that we can not handle and he will put people in place who will lift us and who will help us to soar on Mighty Wings. I have come to learn that all things are possible through Christ who strengthens me and that when you are connected to Christ you will be able to overcome all the challenges that you are facing in your life. Sometimes things may seem dark and it may seem as though our mighty wings are being clipped. It is at those times that you must turn back to the scriptures and become centered, focused, and balanced by taking action to continue your relationship with GOD. It is when we feel blocked that we must trust the process and press on for GOD’S Plan for us is far greater than the plan we have for ourselves. In awakening you gain the mighty wings that will allow you to soar to great heights in your personal, professional, and spiritual life. As you seek GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels you will find that you receive the answers to the questions that you are asking. In allowing GOD to give you mighty wings you will show your grace and see that grace wins.
As you awaken spiritually you will find that your best dance partner to keep the fire burning is GOD!!! When you keep the fire ignited by being guided and directed by GOD you will find many things happening that bring peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. As long as there is a burning ember inside of you to be of service and value to others you will have the power to ignite a fire and show the world that service to humanity is the best work of life. As you keep the fire burning in your heart you will be able to deal with those who are not as spiritually evolved as you are as you begin to realize that it is not your job to drag people kicking and screaming onto the path but it is your job to shine your light bright so that the world is illuminated. When people are ready to move onto the path and embrace the spiritual awakening process they will so continue to be a flame of hope and healing for others.
When your hearts on fire and you are focused, centered, and grounded there is nothing that can hold you back. When you commit to following the messages from The Ascended Masters, GOD, Jesus, and The Angels you will find that you attract more bliss and abundance into your life as you keep your fire burning. Every time you take action toward your goals you put the process into action for the universe to deliver on what you are seeking. Today I went to a job fair and I was speaking to the human resource director for The City Of Sunrise about potential emcee work and her 1st words were I don’t know if we could afford you. She explained what she was looking for and I quoted her a price and she said that is reasonable. I share this to encourage you not to make assumptions and to follow the fire in your heart and to take action to pursue you goals.
It is time for you to become a firework and allow the fire in your heart to guide you through the messages from above. You were born to achieve greatness and now is the time to ignite the spark and create a blaze of glory by walking in your truth and becoming an action taker. In becoming that firework remember that there will be haters, doubters, naysayers, and those who simply will not resonate with your message. When you encounter those people who are trying to extinguish your fire simply take a deep breath and continue to move forward in the direction of your dreams.
It is when you decide to be a burning flame that is ignited all the time that you are able to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. When you are on fire and sharing with others you will begin to attract people who can help you in your quest to become your authentic self while walking in your truth. When you walk in your truth and share your fire you will inspire and empower others and in return you will be rewarded.
It is your time to be on fire and to burn so bright that the world is illuminated. Namaste!!!
In our quest to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually it is easy to get off our path and to stop believing as we get inundated with negativity at times and we wonder how we are going to turn things around. We have a tendency to get caught up in CNN (Constantly Negative News) which can feed a downward spiral and it is up to us to stop the negativity before we spiral out of control. The holiday season can be very tough for people to keep their faith as they struggle with all types of emotions that can feed the monster known as negativity. In order to stop the negativity you must buy into the concept that things will get better. After you internalize the idea that things will get better you should take action to make them them better. It is when you believe in yourself and tap into your inner divinity that you can move forward in a positive direction toward your dreams. It is when you don’t stop believing that you can turn what seems to be the darkest moment in your life into something bright. I have often written in this blog that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. In believing and not giving up you will see that everything works out as you put your faith in GOD, Spirit, Source, The Angels, and The Ascended Masters. When you allow yourself to believe and to be guided by the higher powers you will begin to manifest the life that you desire. In many cases you have to have the eye of tiger and simply walk in your truth.
In having the eye of the tiger you will see that believing in yourself is easier and the more you continue to work on becoming your best authentic self you will see that you can rise up and conquer everything. This week I will conquer the loneliness that I am experiencing due tot he fact that this is my first Thanksgiving without my DAD who was called home to GOD on June 7, 2018. We used to go out together for Thanksgiving after watching some football. Yes, I will miss that but I also know that I will have the opportunity to reflect and be grateful for the time that I did have with my DAD. I will be able to keep believing that he is now one of my many angels watching over me. On Thursday I will get up and watch The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and will be reminded of all the good times I had with my DAD. I may be alone in my human existence at that moment but I will be surrounded by the angels who watch over me and who will help me to keep believing that I am on this earth to create a legacy of hope and healing. Through adversity comes triumph as long as you keep believing.
When I feel like my belief is wandering I turn to music like this and am reminded that I am a divine child of GOD and GOD wants me to step into my power and to be of service and value to others. When the world we are being exposed to gets to be too much I turn off the TV and all the negativity and take a walk in nature reconnecting to GOD, Jesus, Source, and Spirit and find that I get back on track to believing. In trusting that the plans that GOD has for me are far greater than my own I have been able to conquer dark moments fraught with negativity and make them positive. We all have the ability to come out of the dark and to become beacons of light that will illuminate the world one person at a time. As a result of shining your light you will inspire and empower others to do the same and before you know it what was once a dark place becomes a place of enlightenment.
When you come out of the dark by believing that you are here for a purpose you will find yourself attracting more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. You will find the negativity that creates blockages in your life being unblocked as you have the light of the lord working in you so that you can show the world that service to humanity is the best work of life.
As you continue to believe reflect back on your life in 2018 and all the good that has happened and use that as fuel to propel you to have a better 2019. Take a moment to reflect on the challenges and use them as lessons to continue to believe and to grow personally, spiritually, and professionally. May you continue to believe and accomplish all that you were meant to accomplish. Namaste!!!
Over the last few weeks I have found that I have been wearing more and more purple. As I continue on my spiritual journey I was wondering why I was so attracted to purple so I looked up it meaning. The color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. Purple also represents meanings of wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic. In finding the meaning of the color purple I began to awaken more and more spiritually and I became more aware of my encounters with the color purple. As I sat in meditation about the color purple and how many times it has played a role in my life I was awakened to the concept that we are all purple on the inside. Inside of us we have a divine power to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives and this power is generally represented by a purple prism that casts a shadow of hope and healing.
The Intuitive Eye
Despite it’s prevalence, amethyst has been one of the world’s most revered stones for many centuries. Found in as many places as Brazil, Bolivia, Mexico, Africa, Canada, Russia, USA and Europe, this stone has a rich history of astonishing civilizations with its stunning, saturated beauty. While the Neolithic people in Europe it as a mere decorative emblem around 25,000 B.C., Ancient Greeks and Romans used amethyst in several ways from beads in jewelry to amulets. These ancient civilizations placed a high value in this stone. Their belief was that the amethyst crystal meaning was synonymous with luxury. As such, it was highlighted as part of their crowns, scepters and rings. Christian bishops once wore amethyst jewelry in the form of a ring. It’s color was meant to symbolize royalty and an allegiance to Christ. Members of the Catholic clergy wore amethyst stone in their crosses because their amethyst meaning was one of piety and celibacy. It is even thought that the breast plate of the high priest of Israel was adorned with an amethyst as its ninth stone. It’s said that there were ten stones upon which the names of the tribes of Israel were engraved, and amethyst is believed to have been one of such stones.
The name amethyst translates in Greek to, “not drunken.” An ancient Greek myth explains this seemingly odd name. According to the myth, the god Bacchus was angry, and had vowed to descend a hoard of tigers upon the first person who crossed his path. Amethyst was on her way to give thanks at the shine of the god Diana, when she happened upon Bacchus. Before the tigers could eat Amethyst, she was saved by Diana, who turned her into a clear crystal. Bacchus, remorseful for the fate he had so recklessly caused the girl, poured the juice of grapes over the stone as an offering, and thus bestowed the crystal with its unique purple coloring. The greeks gave amethyst crystal meaning, perpetuating a belief that it could inhibit the intoxication of all who wore it. In the Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui, amethyst meaning is quite different. Amethyst properties are not of sobriety, but of wealth in this ancient harmonizing technique. If placed in the wealth corner, amethyst can amplify the flow of prosperity into the home.
Amethyst crystal is one of several varieties of quartz, which gives it a crystal trigonal system. With a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, it is a durable stone. Its lavender to violet shade is the result of iron and aluminum deposits, as well as natural irradiation. Amethyst stone is made up of silicon dioxide.
Amethyst healing properties are as plentiful as the stone itself. It is thought of mostly as a protective stone. As it is linked to the crown chakra, it is helpful in purifying the mind and clearing it of negative thoughts. This includes the negativity of stress and anxiety, which is why many meditate with amethyst so as to rid themselves of that darkness. Amethyst healing properties are especially useful in regards to work-related stress, because the stone is also associated with abundance; therefore relieving stress while emanating prosperity. The amethyst properties which facilitate intuition and communication can also be applied to increased work effectiveness.
Introduction to the Meaning – Sugilite A most beautiful and powerful crystal of the Violet Ray energy, Sugilite is a premier “love stone for this age,” embodying the perfection of Divine love and the manifestation of this energy on the Earth plane. It brings the gifts of wisdom and spiritual devotion, helping one to understand that Truth is the highest form of love, and living in one’s own truth is not only healing but empowering. Working with, wearing or meditating with Sugilite amplifies the ability to channel high frequency Violet energy into every aspect of one’s being in order to walk the Earth in strength and grace. Sugilite reminds the soul of its reasons for incarnating, and enhances one’s understanding of the lessons which have been chosen for this journey on the physical realm.
An exceptional crystal for awakening the Crown Chakra, Sugilite infuses the body with light, bringing spiritual and unconditional love in through the Crown and down to the Base Chakra, aligning all of the chakras as it goes. It is a powerful attractor of healing energies, and has surfaced to further an awareness of the connection between the well-being of the mind and the well-being of the body. Its use helps counter the mental and emotional stresses that create many of the illnesses and diseases of the physical body. Sugilite’s frequency allows one to recognize and release the harshness of the world, and to let go of sorrow, frustration, past angers and fear. It brings light and love into the darkest of situations, letting one know life is more than what is currently being experienced. It offers hope and optimism for a better future, enabling one to accept the here and now. Sugilite encourages forgiveness, of oneself and others, and instills confidence and a sense of freedom. It is an especially joyful stone for those who never quite fit in, and for light workers who find it difficult to adjust to the vibration of Earth.
Introduction to the Meaning and Uses of Charoite
Charoite is an incredible stone of the Violet Ray with an almost tangible movement of energy flowing in magnificent swirls and eddies of violet, lavender and purple. It is rare and complex, one of nature’s best dream stones and illuminators, allowing access to lessons learned in past lives, healing emotional fears to live in the present, and opening to spiritual guidance for the future.
This stone embodies a unique synthesis between the Crown and Heart Chakras, bringing high spiritual energy into union with unconditional love from the physical plane, and grounding it here on Earth where it is needed most. It is a Stone for This Age, assisting in the here and now…conveying the message that one is exactly where one should be during this moment. It is a talisman of acceptance and letting go; a “bestower of good,” encouraging service to humanity, and for attaining approval of the Self.
Discovered in the 1940s, Charoite was unknown to the outside world until 1978. Its name is derived from the Chara (or Charo) River in eastern Siberia, Russia, the only site in the world where it is found. The word “Chary” in Russian means “magic” or “charms.” The term “Charoite Jade” is a trade name for Charoite used in various applications as a decorative stone.
In life we find many spiritual connections sent to us through GOD and it is up to us to take those messages and act accordingly being guided by GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels. I often find myself connected to songs like this one from Prince that reminds me that after every storm there is a rainbow. In many cases we need to experience the purple rain and see the beauty that comes when the storm stops knowing that if GOD brought us to it GOD will bring us through it. It all comes down to growing personally, professionally, and spiritually knowing that we are divine children of GOD and GOD wants us to succeed.
Purple Flowers.
With its origins tied to royalty and ceremony, purple flowers represent dignity, pride and success. Whether grouped alone in a bold range of rich hues or mixed in with other colors to provide depth and contrast, an arrangement filled with purple blooms represents accomplishment and admiration. As I delved more and more into all things purple I began to understand why this was the color chosen to represent The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and why we give purple shirts to our cancer survivors at Relay For Life. I started to look at all the times I have worn purple be it the purple Relay For Life Sneakers of the purple tee-shirts, or purple hoodies and each time I felt a positive shift in my vibrations and thus was able to find success in my fundraising efforts. It seems that when I wear purple and surround myself with purple that I attract bliss and abundance into my life. I also find that my commitment to be of service and value to others is increased as my sense of purpose is heightened as I absorb the traits represented by the color purple.
One of my favorite essential oils is lavender as it has a soothing and calming effect. I have found that when I use a bit of lavender I am able to tap into my inner divinity and thus am better to follow the messages being sent to me from GOD to continue on my spiritual path and to shine my light bright for others to see so that together we can illuminate the world.
As you continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually remember that you are are an emerging spirit and soar as high as you can realizing that we are all purple on the inside. Namaste!!!
On Sunday September 16,2018 I hosted The Judith Miller Memorial Bowling Party to benefit The 2019 American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Sunrise. At 1st I was a bit disappointed by the fact that only 4 people showed up, me along with 3 others. I took a deep breath and I decided that I would take the lemons that life had thrown my my and make lemonade. I decided to be grateful for those tat showed up and to be proactive and share what we were doing with others at the bowling center. As a result we did a make me an offer table with some excellent items. As a result we had a few people make donations for the items and at the end of the event we raised $264 to help those touched by cancer. As I dropped off the money to The American Cancer Society today (9/18/2018) I started to reflect on how during the spiritual awakening process it is to focus on the good and to make lemonade whenever you get the chance. As I drove around doing errands and taking care of some personal things I realized the date and thought wow there are 2 18’s in the date. 18 in Hebrew is Chai meaning life so today we get double chai and a chance to rejoice in the day that the lord hath made and be glad in it. In changing my attitude I have seen a positive shift in my life which is giving me the opportunity to be of service and value to others. Instead of get angry and discouraged I decided to turn the lemons into lemonade. As a result I have found that I attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into my life. In simply letting go and letting GOD the results I have achieved have far exceeded my expectations. I learning to detach from outcomes I have been able to find bliss and abundance thus putting me in a position to share with others.
When you choose to make lemonade out of lemons you many want to adopt some songs that will help you stay focused, centered, and grounded so that you can move forward in a positive direction of your goals. In realizing that things will get easier as you consult with GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and your angels you will find that you manifest the greatness in your life that is your birthright. There will be times when you get upset however take a moment to breath and then follow the messages that you are receiving and then take the necessary action needed to move ahead on your spiritual journey.
One of the greatest lessons I have learned thus far as a result of a spiritual awakening that when we let go and let GOD that he gives us a power to break every chain and thus take all those lemons and make lemonade. Sometimes it is just a matter of remembering that you are a divine child of GOD and GOD wants you to prosper. I have come to realize that it is important to be true to yourself and to simply follow your heart as guided by GOD and good things will happen. Along the way their will be challenges and that is when it is important to realize that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. I have also learned that GOD will never give you to much to handle as he knows exactly what you can handle.
As you turn lemons into lemonade remember to take action to keep on moving and spreading your message as you continue to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life while being of service and value to others. Namaste!!!
As one becomes more and more aware and awake through the spiritual awakening process it is important to take things one step at a time. It is imperative to not focus to much on the past as you can not change what happened you can only learn from the occurrences in the past. It is also essential to not focus to much on the future as you may not be able to control the outcome. This leaves you to focus on the present and to take the steps necessary to move forward in a positive direction of your dreams. There will be times when you face some setbacks however you can take solace in knowing that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. As you grow personally, professionally, and spiritually you will find that everything you seek is being provided for you as the universe will conspire to make sure you are given every resource to assist you in manifesting the life you desire. As you take one step at at time you will become stronger and thus you will attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life.
On Saturday (8/4/2018) I was out promoting The 2019 American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Sunrise at The City Of Sunrise Back To School Round-Up. Things were going great and I was have a great time making contacts and sharing Relay For Life with others then bam heat exhaustion got the best of me. I was doing what I liked to do making videos and being of service and value and service to others and my fire was nearly put out. Thank you to the prompt and professional care of Sunrise Fire Rescue I was taken to their emergency vehicle and treated. I was given the all clear and told to go get blood work done, I drove home and thought despite this minor set back I had to keep my fire burning. Today (8/6/2018) I took action and went for the blood work so that I could take the appropriate measures to keep my fire burning. I learned that the evil one may try to drag you down and take you away from what GOD has planned for you so it is important to stay strong and keep your fire burning. Since the beginning of time those with passion and fire in their heart have gone on to achieve great things just as GOD had intended for them.
You may not have started the fire but you can keep it burning by learning from the past so that you can live in the represent and plan for the future. On may occasions you simply have to get in tune with your inner divine guidance system and commit to keep the fire burning. As you continue to walk your spiritual path make it a point to set fire to the rain.
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!!!
It is said that when it rains it is GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels crying. Well today (4/10/2018) they must be really unhappy with what is happening in our world as the rain in my neighborhood is coming down very hard. As I watch the rain come down I look at it as a cleansing happening to make way for more growth to occur. As the rain pounds the trees and the plants I think of the nurturing that is taking place and the beauty that will come once the rain subsides. As you awaken spiritually you will see that after every storm comes a healing through the beauty that GOD creates. Once GOD washes away the tears and peels back the onion removing the blockages that have created a darkness in your life you will begin to see a new brightness that is filled with peace, love, joy, and prosperity.
In washing away the tears and coming from a place of peace and understanding we are able to be of service and value and thus we awaken more spiritually. In awakening spiritually we are able to face everyday encounters with grace thus allowing us to make a connection to GOD that will help us to wash away the tears as we enhance our personal, professional, and spiritual life. In the face of a storm we are able to call upon GOD and thus be guided through the storm realizing that we can wash away the tears. In the challenging times that we are facing today we can take action and commit to being kinder to each other and helping our fellow man and woman to wash away their tears. In understanding that the key to our life is held by Jesus we can let go and move forward in a positive direction of our dreams. When we are in our darkest hour GOD will wash away our tears and lead us to the light.
