Spiritual Awakening: Carry The Holiday Spirit Forward!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Carry The Holiday Spirit Forward!!!

Since I was very young I always pondered what would occur if we were filled with the holiday spirit all year long? As I started to write this blog entry tonight (12/6/2022) I was taken back to Christmas and Hanukah when my MOM was still living and I remembered how she made the holidays great. It wasn’t always about the presents though she always spoiled me but it was about the time spent with family and friends and the ways we would help others. My MOM was called home to GOD on July 5, 2012 and this is the 10th year without her. I miss her but I carry the spirit of the her and the holidays forward with me in an effort to find ways to be of service and value to others. No is the time to draw from the past so we can plan for the future while living in the present. Now is the time to become action takers and to allow that action to move you forward into the new year (2023) so that you can attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life and help to empower and inspire others. No is the season to tap into your inner divity and utilize the gifts that you have to brighten the world daily. It is your chance to move the spirit of the holidays forward so that you awaken to your truth and so that you awaken and walk in your truth. It is your time to answer your calling and become the change you want to see in the world. Many times all it takes is doing something for someone else without expectation of return to shine your light so bright that you become a beacon of hope so that more people will move the spirit of the holidays forward.

As I looked at all 3 major holidays represented at this time of the year in The United States of America I began to realize that we are more alike than different. I began to realize that we are all divine children of GOD who bring a purpose with us whereever we go. It is upto us to move the spirit of the holidays forward and recognize that GOD wants us to prosper so that we can propser others. Imagine if you would 365 days where everyone would share their abundance with others.

It is when I sat in reflection and and meditation that I found the importance of moving the spirit of the holidays forward. The main reaso is that you are spreading a message of hope and healing for a world that so desperately needs people to start caring about one another. As the holidays are upon us and we find ourselves in a giving remember that GOD Loves A Cheerful Giver. If you can take this belief and move it forward after the holidays I know that your personal, professional, anmd spiritual life will be improved.

Now is your season to put a little love in your heart and to move the spirit of the holidays forward. Each day find some way to be of service  to others and put your actions into a journal so that when things seem tough you can look at how your actions are changing lives as you continue to make compassion and kindness priorities in all that you do. It is now time to see the good that is around us and find ways to make that goodness part of our daily life.

We have the power to embrace the spirit of the holidays and come together long after the memories of this holiday season are gone. May your holidays and all of 2023 be filled with bliss.

Spiritual Awakening: Spreading Holiday Cheer!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Spreading Holiday Cheer!!!

 As I evolve in my spiritual development I understand more and more that it is not about the presents but being present with GOD. I have always stated that both Christmas and Hanukkah represent miracles thus showing how we are more similar than different. I have come to understand that the best action to take during Christmas and Hanukkah is to be kind and thus let the kindness spread all year round. The key element to spread holiday cheer is to be thoughtful and compassionate in all you do.  It is important to be mindful not only around Christmas and Hanukkah but all year long so as to create a oneness consciousness that will enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life.

Today I shopped at Celebrity Sports, located at 1825 North Pine Island Road in Plantation, FL, because I do some marketing for them and I knew I would find some great items for my 2 brothers and my sister-in-law. I went to the register and was given a 20% discount. With the savings I will be able to support The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. Http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg3 is the donation page where you can spread some holiday cheer to those touched by cancer.  In doing my shopping and being joyful while I shopped I have been able to create positivism wherever I go. I have been rewarded in different ways as a result of spreading holiday cheer. The other day i went out to my car and before I got in I looked down and there was a silver dollar by the door. I looked to heaven and thanked my angels, GOD, and Jesus. Through out the day I found myself wishing people Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas and my day seemed to flow better.  The next day i was out and about in the community and someone in line bought me my iced tea and yogurt.  This had me thinking if kindness begets kindness why are more people not spreading holiday cheer? I then began to think how can I better become an ambassador of kindness and spread holiday cheer? The answer was simple continue to be the joyful, loving, compassionate person that I am and allow others to see my actions. I have found that one simple act of kindness can be felt across the world and can positively impact those we come in contact with. It is when we truly make the concept of Hanukkah and Christmas a year round practice that we grow.

Spiritual Awakening: It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!!!

Spiritual Awakening: It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!!!

With Christmas approaching thoughts of presents and goodwill to men and women dance in my head. Christmas for many can be a stressful time of year. I am very grateful to Mateja Petje for providing this guest post to help create a stress free holiday season for everyone.

Stress-Free Holidays

Holidays are generally time of fun, laughter, gifts, and spending more time with your family and friends. At the same time, there are many people who are not looking forward to holidays due to not having a significant other in their lives, or are distant from their family members.  This may lead to depression or anxiety. Furthermore, estranged family relationships can be tested when family members who barely tolerate each other are brought together under one rough and need to “play nice.” Does this sound familiar? Don’t despair, with some simple rules and adjustments holidays can be fun even with those challenges.

 First of all, nobody likes to be alone during holidays. “Holiday blues are a pretty common problem despite the fact that as a society, we see the holidays as a joyous time,” says Rakesh Jain, MD, director of psychiatric drug research at the R/D Clinical Research Center in Lake Jackson, Texas. “Many people feel depressed, which can be due to the increased stress that comes with the need to shop and the decreased time to exercise which gets put on the back burner during the holidays.”
