Spiritual Awakening: Marking Special Days!!!
As I prepare for POINTS FOR THE CURE FOOTBALL EDITION to benefit The American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Plantation and Sunrise which will be held from 10/27-31/2022 I am reminded through the spiritual awakening process just why I continue to mark special days. As those of you who read this blog on a regular basis are aware my mother was called home to GOD on July 5, 2012 after suffering a massive heart attack after battling non-operable metastatic lung cancer. My mom’s birthday is October 30 and she loved Halloween so to honor her I do a few fundraisers for The American Cancer Society in October. I do this as a result of a message I received years ago while searching for ways to make a positive impact on the lives of others. The message I recived from GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels was to mark special days bu following your passion and taking action. Since receiving that message I have worked on making each day count and marking special days with different activities to be of service and value to others. In marking these special days I have found that it is important to be an action taker and to embrace the spiritual awakening process so as to answer your calling and become the change you want to see in the world. It is your time to come alive and to shine your light bright for the world to see so that communities are illuminated by your actions to mark special days. The feelings that you ve when marking special days will run the gamet of the entire emotional spectrum making you understand that you are a strong powerful person able to make a difference in the world simply by taking action to deliver a message that is filled with hope and healing so that others will understand that they are divine children of GOD and that GOD wants them to prosper so they can prosper others.
The photo is of my mother and it reminds me to mark the special days and to make sure that I understand that today is the day the lord hath made so be glad and rejoice in it. In awakening spiritually and marking special days we begin to open up the channels that lead to peace, love, joy, aand prosperity. One way to make sure that you are marking special days is to make sure that you can answer yes to these two questions, Did I live my life in joy today? Did I bring joy to others today? If you can say yes to those two questions you will have had a good day. Thinhs are going to happen that we feel that we can not control so it is best to continue to live our life on purpose walking in our truth and marking special days. There are going to be many issues that come up that may try to take you off your spiritual path. When those issues arise take a deep breath and remind yourself the importance of marking the special day and that what you are doing is positively impacting your life and the lives of others. Do not allow that which you can not control stop you from moving forward in your effort to make a positive impact while marking special days and remember each day is special. Yesterday is gone and tommorow is not promised so it is important to live in the present known as today and to mark special days.
Today is your special day to continue on your spiritual path so as to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life. Today is a day to be guided by GOD and to heed the messages that are being sent to you so that you can mark this day as special. There will be challenges but remember GOD doesn’t give you more than you can handle. Today is your day to surround yourself with positivism so that you can move foward in a positive direction of your goals and objectives. Sometime it is difficult for us to mark special days due to all the crazy mixed up world that we are living in today but remember that life is about to get good.
Many time what we perceive to be bad is actually good as the negative events are allowing us to be grateful for the good events and thus we are able to mark the day as a special day. It is when we put forth a positive attitude and commit to making the day special that we begin to experience bliss and abundance.
As I continue along my spiritual journey and become more and more aware and awake I realize how important it is to flush the system so that I progress toward making a mind body and soul connection that will allow me to be of service and value to others. I have found that when I take my body and am conscience of what I am eating I am able to gain clarity in the rest of my life. Just as our body needs flushing from time to time our mind also needs to be cleansed of negativity that causes blockages that keep us from reaching our full potential. When we find ourselves distracted by events that we can not control we must reach deep inside ourselves and tap into the inner divinity we possess so as to get get focused, centered, and grounded. Over the las few months I have come to acknowledge that it is when we take action that we can flush our system while setting in motion the process to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our personal, professional, and spiritual lives. It is when we remind ourselves that we are divine children of GOD that we prosper and thus we are able to prosper others. The key is to flush your system and then to overcome and adapt to all obstacles that may be standing in the way to your spiritual ascension.
As many of you who read this blog regularly know I am very involved with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. 2021 marks my 24th year as a participant in this event. Over the years I have had to cleanse my system and make changes so as to help raise funds for research, education, advocacy, and services. I have a web page http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2021 where people can make donations. People can also send checks and I process them through the fundraising application on my phone. The application when it works is great unfortunately some time it doesn’t work so I have to use an old system of sending the check to the American Cancer Society Office. Recently I received a check and try as I may my phone application just wouldn’t read it so I had to send it to the American Cancer Society in Tampa as they closed The American Cancer Society Office in Fort Lauderdale due to Covid-19. I was upset and frustrated that something so easy could be made so difficult however I knew I had to flush those thoughts out of my mind and move forward in a positive direction of my goal to raise $2500. As I sat in meditation I received a message that GOD will not give you more than you can handle and that GOD will put you through some challenges to remind you just how strong you are. As I flushed my system of the negatives and focused on the positive and the fact that there is always a solution I found a new energy and was able to press on and continue on the endeavor to make a positive impact on the lives of those touched by cancer. I realized that I have a strength to carry on and give people a spiritual lift simply by cleansing the system and gaining clarity of purpose.
It is when we decide to face everything and rise that we can follow our passion and step into our power to achieve the greatness that is our birthright. It is when we stop worrying what can go wrong and start looking for what can go right that we evolve and reach heights that once seemed unimaginable. It is when we understand just how powerful we are that we change our lives by taking action to move forward in a positive direction of our dreams. Now is your time to follow your passion and shut out the doubters, haters, and naysayers and simply follow your heart so that you can spread your wings and soar. Don’t let people tell you it can’t be done show them that it can be done and that you are doing it. Now is your time to shine your light and illuminate the world. It is your time to take your passion and act upon it by detaching from the outcome and learning from the experience.
A few years ago I was given a bracelet like the one pictured here. I was asked about many times and I would tell people it is about helping other people to excel. I gave the bracelet away about a year ago to someone who is a cancer survivor and she inspired me with her story and asked if she could could have my bracelet. It was my way of passing hope along. Through out the COVID-19 Crisis I have continued to hope for the best outcomes knowing that we will all come out of this stronger spiritually for we will all have learned that despite hardships we grow personally, professionally, and spiritually with a little bit of hope.
Today (5/5/2019) is your opportunity to commit to becoming an action taker and to go up up and away as you enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life. As you become more and more spiritually aware and awake you will see that you control how high your balloon will soar and the only one that can ground your balloon is you. When you commit to going up up and away you will begin to find resources appearing to help you reach the heights that you desire. In deciding to take action to go up up and away and answer your calling you will experience change as you come alive while being of service and value to your community. In deciding to take that life changing balloon ride you will find yourself manifesting more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life.
