Spiritual Awakening: Turn The Page

Spiritual Awakening: Turn The Page!!!

The last month has been filled with many trials and tribulations as I have faced many challenges in my life. I have had many days where it has seemed that I lost my mojo as many of the fundraisers that I had been promoting like POINTS FOR THE CURE BASKETBALL EDITION   and SEND CANCER TO THE PENALTY BOX  didn’t garner and donations. I began to think what am I doing wrong that people are not responding to my asking for support and then it hit me that it was time to turn the page. As I was shelling out $1093 to fix my car yesterday (6/14/2023) it hit me that instead of being upset that I needed to spend this money I should be grateful that I had the money to fix my car and that I need to turn the page and get back in touch with my inner divinity. I share my experience with you so that you can see that you are not the only one that may need to turn the page and make changes in the way you are doing things. In today’s world where we can get so caught up in issues that do not serve us we need to turn the page and understand that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. As I arrived home yesterday I looked at one of the walls in my condo and saw The Serenity Prayer that has been on that wall for many years and it served as a reminder to get back on track to control the things I can and to accept the things I can’t and to have the wisdom to know the difference. I was also reminded that no one is served by excuse making and now is the time to become and action take and to plan your work and work your plan. As I sat down to write this blog I began to realize  that if you wallow in the negative you create blockages that stop you from reaching your full potential. The question now is how do you turn the page and get back on a positive path that will enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life? The answer is simple remind yourself that you are a divine child of GOD and GOD wants you to prosper so that you can prosper others. Now is your time to turn the page by consulting with GOD, Jesus, Spirit, Source, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels that are watching over you and know the power that you possess and want you to step into that power and to become a difference maker. Now is your time to turn the page and to write your own story.

As today unfolds and you continue to write your story and turn the page remember that much of your greatness is yet to be written. Make today the best it can be as yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not promised. Remember that there are two types of people in the world the action takers and the excuse makers which one will be you be as you turn the page. How will you write your story today? What will you do today to move in a positive direction of your goals? When writing your story remember that you have the ability to change your circumstances by turning the page.

In writing your story turn to GOD and allow GOD to guide you so that you move forward in your quest to grow so that you can attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life and turn the page so as to continue writing your story. We can not go back and rewrite what ahs happened but we can learn fort he past so we can turn the page and live in the present while planning for the future. Do not let that which you can not control hold you back. Look deep inside your self and make the mind, body, soul connection that will allow you to turn the page. Don’t allow some negative outcomes to stagnate you focus on the good things that are happening and assume an attitude of gratitude. When things seem dark remember their is a light inside of you that needs to be turned on so that you can shine bright and illuminate the world. If things seem really bleak and your hope is lost let go and let GOD as GOD always provides.

Now is your time  to turn the page and realize that the plans that GOD has for your are far greater than your plan.

Spiritual Awakening: Live Life On Your Terms!!!

As I sat in a presentation from Legal Shield in heard the speaker talk about living life on your own terms and it really resonated with me as it reminded me of the spiritual path I have chosen to take. In living my life on my terms and doing it my way I have had ups and downs. I have experienced the loss of my MOM on July 5, 2012 and my DAD on June 7, 2018 and the one thing that I am grateful for is that I allowed me to live my life on my own terms. They might not have always understood the decisions I made but they allowed me to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually on my own terms. In living life on my own terms I have learned so much like making sure that if you have an elderly parent that they have a will and that you are included on all important documents such as deeds to property, bank accounts, and any other assets that they have. I also learned to make sure they have their final arrangements taken care of so that you have peace of mind and do not incur a major expense when they are called home to GOD.

In understanding that this is your life and it is yours to live ion your terms as directed by GOD you will be able to tune into your Divine Guidance System and create the life that you desire. As you enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life you will see that living on your own terms may create challenges thus you will want to ask the question of how does this serve my higher self. In serving your higher self you will begin to see more peace,love, joy, and prosperity in your life. There will be times of struggle so just remember if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. In the last 7 months I have been dealing with many situations that I never saw myself in like having to make a mortgage payment, and paying off a home equity loan as a result of my DAD passing and me needing a roof over my head. I have reached out to help and set up a page at www.paypal.me.jdogg8265 and have had a few people step up. In August of 2018 I had one person step up in a big way to help me and I am grateful that this person walked in his truth and supported me in the manner in which he did. I have asked many others to please use my services as a PA Announcer, an Emcee, a Voice Over Talent or to book a consultation with me and am grateful for those who have stepped up to use my services. There are many out there who could have helped but have not for whatever reason they may have. I have come to learn that there are two types of people in life excuse makers or action takers. You must determine which category you will fall into so as to live life on your terms.

Be Bold And Live Life On Your Own Terms!!!

It is when you commit to living on your own terms and decide to be of service and value to others that your life will change. There will be trials and tribulations thus remember you have the power to change the things you can and accept the things you can not and the wisdom to know the difference. It is in removing the people and things that no longer serve you that you make progress.

As you begin to live life on your own terms you will want to live out loud and walk in your truth. You will encounter doubters, haters, and naysayeers so it is important to ignore them and live your life on your terms. It is also important to also stop your own negative self talk. When you commit to living life on your own terms and move in a positive direction toward your goals and dreams you will find yourself feeling more fulfilled. Make today the day you start living life on your own terms. Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Who Is Protecting You?

As I was watching TV the other day I watched a State Farm commercial which asked who is protecting your house? This made me think about who is protecting you as you enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life? As I sat in meditation I realized that I was being protected by GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Master, and The Angels. As I came out of the mediation I began to understand as long as I maintain my connection with my protectors and listen to their messages that everything will work out in the end. As you waken spiritually you will find yourself protected and thus in more favorable positions to bring peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life so that you can do the same for others. In staying connected and being focused, centered, and grounded you will find everything flowing in your life just as GOD has intended. GOD will protect you and guide you by giving you messages on a regular basis. It is up to you to accept this protection and trust in GOD that GOD will prosper you and provide for you.


As many of you who read this blog on a regular basis are aware I have had my share of trials and tribulations over the last 6 years and at times have found myself in a struggle questioning what will happen however once I let go and let GOD I began to see that I was protected and everything was happening according to GOD’S Plan for GOD’S Plan for me is far greater than my own. I have also started to realize that when you are protected and feel secure that you can step into your power and achieve the greatness that is your birthright. As GOD has protected me GOD has put me in places where I can thrive and has created situations that lead to success. The power to change lies within us and if we understand that GOD will protect us and not give us anything that we can not handle we will begin to manifest the life we desire.

When you start to strengthen your relationship with GOD and detach from outcomes you will find it easier to live your life on purpose by being of service and value to others. As I reflect back on my 40 years of community service I can point to all the times I had success and every instance shares one thing in common and that is that I was open to accepting that I was being guided and protected by GOD. To further my protection I have called on Arch Angel Michael to put up a wall of protection around me so that I can flourish as I continue on my spiritual journey toward enlightenment.

These cards will help you to stay protected thus allowing you to thrive.

One of the tools in my spiritual tool box are The Archangel Michael Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue. I utilize these cards to further my protection and to take action to shield myself from any challenges I may face in my human existence. In consulting with The Angels you will be guided to take the action necessary to manifest the life you desire. Many times it is as simple as just listening to your protectors. Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: 2019 A Year Of Empowerment And Inspiration!!!

The clock struck midnight and a new year was upon us. As I sat in reflection I decided tom declare that 2019 would be a year of empowerment and inspiration. I sat in meditation listening to Cat Stevens and realized that each day we have 86,400 minutes each time a new day starts and it is up to us how we can use them. As I have experienced a spiritual awakening I have come to realize that there is a time to rest and reflect and there is a time to take action. I have also come to realize that the only persons actions I can control are my own. In coming to this realization I have decided to focus on being of service and value to others and finding others who believe that service to humanity is the best work of life to join me in making 2019 a year of inspiration and empowerment. You will notice that I brought back JDOGG’S Person Of The Week so as to inspire others to find ways to make a positive impact in the lives of others while also enhancing their personal, professional, and spiritual life. I have also discovered that one must walk in their truth and become transparent so that everyone sees your authentic self and not some facade that society dictates. In speaking your truth and being empowered and inspired you may upset some people as they are not ready to hear the truth. Such was the case today (1/3/2019) as I went to make a payment on a home equity loan that my DAD left behind when he was called home to GOD on June 7,2018. I simply wanted to pay the regular payment amount and use the overage toward the principle and since I was passed due and not on the account they could not do this on the branch level so I let the teller know this is why after this loan is paid off I will not be doing business with Chase. It is important for you to stand up for yourself. I also learned that it imperative to be included on all of your parents accounts so that if they pass without a will you will have what you need to take care of any financial obligations that they may leave behind. I have set up a donation page at www.paypal.me/jdogg8265 if anyone wants to make a love donation thus giving me a home base to work from as I make 2019 A Year Of Inspiration and Empowerment.

As I left the bank I realized that the first step to becoming empowered and inspired is to understand that all we are are dust in the wind. We came into this world as dust and we leave this world as dust. All that will be left when GOD calls us home is the answer to the question of how did you live your dash. I have written many times that at the end of the day there are only 2 questions that need to be answered in the affirmative and they are did you live the day in joy and did you bring joy others today. If you can say yes to those two questions you will have had a good day making your 86,400 minutes count.

As I was writing this blog today (1/3/2019) I began to get a grip on the idea that in order to make 2019 A Year Of Empowerment and Inspiration it was up to me to come from a position of love. It is important to have self love and then to transfer our love to others. This can be done by saying a prayer for the person with the sign will work for food or purchasing food for that person if you are in a position to do so. You can simply smile at someone and wish them a good day, or you can thank someone for their service. The possibilities to show love and gratitude are endless.

Gratitude is a very powerful tool to have in your spiritual tool box as it will help you to make 2019 A Year Of Empowerment and Inspiration. Each day find something to be grateful for and write down what it is in a gratitude journal and when you are challenged to make 2019 A Year Of Empowerment and Inspiration look in the journal and allow yourself to get back to being centered ,focused, and grounded. It is through our spiritual awakening that we can make 2019 A Year Of Empowerment and Inspiration. NAMASTE!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Breaking Free!!!!

     As you embrace the spiritual awakening process it is important to be able break free from that which no longer serves you. It is important to break free from the belief systems that are creating blockages in your life by making a commitment to change your mindset and thus breaking free from that which is stopping you from stepping into your power and achieving the greatness that is your birthright.

Walk in your truth and embrace your power!!!

      When you decide to break free and understand that you are one that can remove the shackles that are holding you back you will start to attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. When you embrace the fact that you were born free and the only person that can take away your freedom you will find it it easier to rid yourself of the accouterments that have been holding you back over time. It is time to change your mindset and understand that it is not about the materialistic but rather the spiritualistic. Do not misinterpret this as being anti money as with money you can do many things and be of service and value to many people however the greatest gift you can give someone is a helping hand not a hand out. In breaking free from the belief that you need a big house, a fancy car, and expensive clothes to be considered successful you will find that you are able to attract everything you need so that you can positively impact your life and the lives of others.

Be The One Who Stays Positive In The Face Of Adversity!!!

     As you break free from that which has kept you in mental bondage you will see that you begin to attract more bliss and abundance into your life for you stop thinking about what you do not have but you are grateful for what you do have. In the last few months I have found myself breaking away from that which is not serving a higher purpose and as a result I have been blessed with support from people who share my same ideals especially those who believe that service to humanity is the best work of life. In looking at what I was allowing to hold me back and make changes to break free I realized that it was time to tap into my divine guidance system and reconnect with GOD and remember that if GOD brought me to it GOD will bring me through it. I have also come to realize that my methods of doing things may not resonate with everyone and that is okay for those that are intended to hear my message and support my endeavors will be brought forth to me for GOD’S Plan is far greater than my own. It is important to realize that we are dancing on GOD’S Dance Floor and GOD makes the playlist.

    When we let go and let GOD we are able to break free from any barriers that we perceive to be holding us back. Sometimes it is as simple as taking massive action and moving forward in the direction of our goals allowing GOD to direct us. Sometimes it is simply a matter of letting go of the people, places, and things that no longer serve us. As I sat in meditation I realized that I was holding on to some ideas that were ego driven and thus they were edging GOD out so it was time to break free from those beliefs and to simple stay connected to GOD and understand that GOD will provide all that I need so that I can continue to be of service and value to others. 

    Now is the time to break free and praise GOD who will continue to guide you and allow you to evolve personally, professionally, and spiritually. Watch what you are focusing on as what you focus on expands. Watch the words you are using so that you can break break free. It is time to speak life and remain on your spiritual journey despite what others may think. You will encounter many people who simply will not understand that everyday you are changing and becoming stronger in mind, body, and spirit thus allowing you to break free. When you encounter these people don’t try to defend your actions simply stand in your truth and continue to walk your path showing them that you are making a better life for yourself and others.

    The words we choose to use will determine how free we become. When we can turn off the negativity and break free we can move in a positive direction shining our light bright so we illuminate the world. Our words become actions and our actions can empower and inspire others. It is your time to become stronger.

    As you break free from that which no longer serves you you will find that you are getting stronger and that things will improve. In the darkest of times things seem dim but then there comes a light to lift you up and thus the darkness dissipates  and the light takes over allowing you to break free. Now is your season to break free!!! Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Hope Prevails!!!

Image may contain: 3 people, people smiling, people standing and text
Relay For Life Where Hope Is Found

   In 1999 I embarked on a journey to help those touched by cancer. I was angry as cancer had taken so many from me and then I found Relay For Life and I experienced what I will call my first recognizable spiritual awakening. I am sure I had other spiritual awakenings however the first one I can recall as I began to fundraise for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. Relay was a new concept in the community where I was living at the time(Coral Springs, FL). It was a challenge to get people involved and I was a mighty team of one. I was guided by GOD to contact all the people I knew in the city and ask for their support so I did just that. I had excellent results and our first Relay For Life in Coral Springs raised over $40,000. As the years went on I would lose more people to cancer but instead of getting angry I used the losses as fuel to fund research, education, advocacy, and services and have been successful. On July 5, 2012 my faith was tested greatly as I held my mother’s hand as she took her final breath and was called home to GOD after suffering a massive heart attack while battling non-operable metastatic lung cancer. It was at this moment that I had another spiritual awakening as I went down stairs to make calls and catch my breath and try to understand that my mom was gone. It was about 90 degrees out and I was shivering like a leaf and when I reached it the trunk of my car what did I find, yes you guessed it one of my relay for life hoodies. I looked up to heaven and knew that my mom was already sending me signs and that I was to continue in my effort to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. My experiences with Relay For Life have had there ups and there downs. People have told me why they don’t support The American Cancer Society and that is okay. In the past I tried to convince them why they needed to support my efforts to help The American Cancer Society however now I simply show gratitude to those supporting the efforts and to those who aren’t I simply accept that trying to change their mind is like wrestling a pig in the mud you are both going to get dirty but the pig enjoys it. I have come to understand that hope prevails when you stay focused, centered, and balanced on your calling. 

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Hope!!!

  After being in a dark place I sat in meditation and turned to my creativity as a writer and wrote this poem which helped me to come out of the darkness and into the light gaining an understanding that hope prevails. 

Celebrate Life

By Jonathan Steven Lederman

We gather tonight United in this fight

People from all walks of life Overcoming hardships and strife

Walking for 6 hours

Showing the power Coming together

So that Cancer is beaten forever

May the lights shine bright

As you continue your fight

The survivors you inspire

With your courage and desire

Caregivers you motivate

With dedication and the hope you create

So gather everyone with your teammates

Say a prayer or two

For your loved ones, friends and you

Celebrate Life!!

In taping into your inner divinity you will find that hope prevails!!!

   It was when I began to tap into my inner divinity and allow myself to be guided by GOD that I was able to understand that hope prevails. As a result I have been able to find success with my activities with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life, overcome adversity in my life, and to continue on my path toward enlightenment.  Many times I am asked what my secret is and my answer is that when things seem the darkest that is GOD making a way for you to shine your light. In embracing the idea that hope prevails I have come to learn that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. I have also come to realize that my methodology may not resonate with everyone but those who are in need of receiving my message will and those will be the ones who help me to be of service and value to others. I have also come to understand that if you truly want hope to prevail you must become an action taker.

    We all need to have hope if we are to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. In many cases you simply need to let go and let GOD. GOD will help you to shine your light bright thus enabling you illuminate the world. As long as there is a burning ember in your heart you can fan the flames and create a fire that will make you unstoppable thus showing you that hope prevails.

     Now is the time for you to be brave and to embrace the fact that hope prevails. Now is your time to continue to on your path by stepping into your power and achieving your greatness so as to show the world that hope prevails. Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Vote Yourself In!!!

       As I went to vote I decided that since I did not like either candidate for Governor that I would write myself in because I am a warrior with a mission to be of service and value to others. As I left my polling place I started to think about how many times one must vote themselves in so as to progress in a positive direction towards their goals as they evolve in the spiritual awakening process. Sometimes you have to go uninvited and stand out so that you can grow personally, professionally, and spiritually understanding that you were born to prosper by helping others. I have used the mantra that service to humanity is the best work of life for several years now and when no one else would step up to the plate I often stepped up voting myself in and thus leading the way to positively impact the lives of others. Sometimes you simply have to vote yourself in and then allow GOD to guide you so that you will prosper. I remember back in 1989 my Jaycees chapter was about to cancel The Holiday Shopping Spree for Needy Children as there were very little funds in the treasury. As a new member I suggested we approach businesses to see if they would sponsor a child for $50. I was told we never did that before I asked why not and was told because we just didn’t. My answer was let’s start now. They answered you can do that if you want to but we aren’t going to do that. Guess what I did I started calling people I did business with and asked for their support then I called on businesses that were prominent in the community and asked for their assistance. Two weeks later at a chapter meeting I came in to the meeting with over $3000 in donations. That year we took 64 children holiday shopping. It was at that moment that I realized to whom much is given much is expected. In the years since I have found myself voting myself in when others would not step up. As a result I have experienced personal, professional, and spiritual growth. It is when you vote yourself and commit to making a positive impact on the lives of people you come in contact with that you begin to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. Sometimes it is just simply reminding yourself that you were born for this.

Now is the time for you to vote yourself in as you are a powerful person destined to make a difference in your life and in the lives of others. It is time to find your purpose and to live that purpose so that you can receive the bliss and abundance that comes from voting yourself in. It is when you step up and take action that you achieve the greatness that is your birth right. It is when you step into your power and vote yourself in and become an action taker that you begin to evolve spiritually thus moving toward spiritual enlightenment. Sometimes it is just a matter of stepping in when no one else will.

    It is your life and it is time to vote yourself in. It is time for you to realize that you area  divine child of GOD and GOD wants you to be successful. It is time to live each day to its fullest so that at the end of the day you can say yes I lived my day in joy and I brought joy to others. It is time to understand that it is not about securing materialistic things but it is about growing spiritually and leaving a legacy of hope and healing for future generations.  It is your season to serve and to be served so vote yourself in and stay positive.

Spiritual Awakening: Win In The End!!!

     Many will recognize this song from Teenwolf a movie where Michael J. Fox’s learns to channel his anger for good and as a result he wins in the end. How many times along your spiritual journey have you been moved to anger only recognizing that getting angry is like wrestling a pig in the mud you both get dirty but the pig enjoys it. If you can manage your anger and realize that taking the high road and keeping calm in the face of adversity you will win in the end. As I have experienced a spiritual awakening I have found that it is better to stay calm and take action to solve a challenge than it is to get angry and walk away as when you do the later the issue still persists.  Last night at The Don’t Get Spooked By Cancer Night at Hooters I encountered a situation where one of the attendees got mad and left as I asked them not to put up The Donald Trump Mannequin as I wanted to make sure that no one would be offended as our society has become ultra sensitive and I did not want any negativity cast toward the charity. I was a bit disappointed by this gentleman’s actions as I thought my request was reasonable and I asked in a polite fashion. On the other end of the spectrum one gentleman donated $30 for chance drawing tickets and when he won The Eli Manning Replica Superbowl Ring gave a $20 donation, He then won the gift basket and gave another $20 donation. Another patron gladly donated $20 for tickets and won some prizes in the chance drawing. In the end the charity won as $165 was raised through donations and the chance drawing. Hooters is sending their donation. The lesson I learned was do not let one negative action take away from all the positives and to focus of the positive because when you focus on the positive you win in the end. The best part was when I arrived home there was a signed football from Larry Little sent to me by The NFL to use in the chance drawing at The Points For The Cure Football Edition Party on Sunday November 4 at Uncle Al’s Sports Cafe in Sunrise. As I prepared for bed last night I realized that if you continue to take action and walk in your truth you will win in the end.

     If you are going to win in the end and enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life you must be a warrior and commit to never giving up. Along your journey you will face obstacles and you may want to forget everything and run. At those times rest and take a breath and then decide that you will face everything and rise and you will win in the end.  As a warrior you will need to detach from outcomes and simply go with the flow of the universe by letting go and letting GOD. I have found that since my spiritual awakening that when I detach from expectations and simply accept things as they unfold I attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into my life. In the past I would worry about who didn’t attend an event instead of being grateful for those who did attend now I concentrate on those who have attended and am grateful for there presence. I have come to use the serenity prayer to keep me centered, focused, and grounded so that I win in the end.

You Have The Power To Make A Difference

   

   I can not change how someone reacts to me but I can control how I react to their reaction. In the past I would get upset and angry when someone would get angry at me now I simply remain calm and realize that it is more about them and their feelings than it is about me. I have come to understand that I am not going to resonate with everyone but those that I do resonate with will be attracted to me and help me with my effort to be of service and value to others. The key to winning in the end is to take all your spiritual teachings and apply them so that you create a life filled with bliss and abundance. Many times it is as simple as getting back to the basics so you can win in the end.

Lessons To Help You Win In The End

  One of the greatest gifts that my mother gave me prior to her being called home to GOD was Don Miguel Ruiz’s Book The Four Agreements. When times get tough I pull it out and remind myself of these four agreements and as a result I win in the end.  May you continue to grow as you progress on your spiritual journey. Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Get Back Up!!!

No automatic alt text available.
This was an opportunity that many missed!!!

    As I left Skyline Chili On October 17 after no one showed up to take advantage of the opportunity to learn how to strengthen their brand and increase their revenue I was a bit down and wondered what more do I have to do to get people to attend events that I host. This feeling continued on October 22 after I hosted a Give Back Night at Bru’s Room located in The Sunrise West Plaza. In the last few months I have worked really hard to host events and had poor turn outs that made me want to simply quit my volunteer work with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Sunrise and to stop offering workshops as I had this reoccurring thought that perhaps I am not the person people want to follow. Then on Wednesday 10/24 I was the announcer for The Cardinal Gibbons Chiefs JV Football Game and after the game I had so many parents come up to me to tell me how great I did that I realized it was time to get up. I arrived home and I really wished my DAD was still alive so I could share with him the highlights of the game and that I felt a sense of appreciation. At that moment I sat in prayer and the overwhelming message I received was that it was time to get up and move forward on my spiritual journey and continue to be of service and value to others. 

As I sat down to write this blog entry I realized it was time to get up off of that thing that was interfering with my personal, professional, and spiritual growth. That thing was focusing on the negative instead of looking at the positive. As I thought more and more about how I felt knocked down I realized I was knocked down and not out and if i could look up I could get up. It was in this moment that I began to understand that it is important to take the good with the bad and then release the bad while learning from it and continue on the path to do more good.  It took much introspection and reflection to work from feeling sorry for myself and defeated to get back to feeling good about all I was doing and being victorious.

    On of the things that helped me to get back up was looking at this photo. It is of Lacey Jerome who is 4 years old and a cancer survivor. She has had 4 brain surgeries and 10 other surgeries resulting from the complications from cancer. She is now cancer free and she threw out the first pitch at The Strike Out Cancer Day with The Sunrise Sharks Travel Baseball Team. Being the announcer for that moment is a reminder that I have had more positive things happen on my journey than negative and to focus on the joy that I have been part of. One of the Life Coaches that I know, Shantel Springer taught me a few years ago to always get up and to be grateful for those who show up to support your endeavors and to understand that the people that are meant to be there will be there. In coming to understand that as an action taker there will be some downs but there will be many ups has helped me to get up after feeling down.

 As I was seeking material to encourage the readers of this blog to get up the universe conspired to help me and sent me this song by Jonas Blue. It is important for all of us to continue to rise until we fall and when we fall we need to dust ourselves off and rise up again. As I sat in reflection and looked back at all the great things that I have been part of over the last 45 years I realized just how capable I am and that if people don’t get me it is okay for I simply need to keep getting up and continue to step into my power and use it to shine my light and illuminate the world. 

    One of the things that I have found to help get back up is music. As you continue to move forward in a positive direction of your dreams it is important to see yourself as being on top of the world.   Sometimes it takes a setback to help prepare you for a step up. In loss we learn important lessons that will help us to get back up. 

   One way to get back up is to rekindle the fire that lies inside of you and allow it to burn so you can continue to get back up after being knocked down. As long as their is a burning ember in your heart you can fan the flames and reach to heights that you never imagined as long as you keep getting back up.  There will be challenges along the way but remember GOD will never give what GOD knows you can not handle. GOD wants you to stay up and to be prosperous so you can prosper others. I have come to grips with the fact that their are those I will encounter who will not be attracted to the projects that I am involved in but there are many that will be and that I should take great solace in the knowledge that through out my time on earth I have made a positive impact on many and that I should always get back up because I am capable of achieving great things. I hope this entry will help you to get back up if you are facing challenges as you are a divine child of GOD and GOD doesn’t make any junk. Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Victory Shall Be Yours!!!

Let Go and Let GOD

       Through the spiritual awakening process I have come to understand that by taking action you will be victorious. It may take a lot of perseverance and persistence to achieve victory however if you stay connected to GOD victory shall be yours. Do not listen to the doubters, the haters, or  the naysayers. Listen to the messages from GOD and be prepared to take action and victory shall be yours. Do not allow your negative self talk to get in the way and become an action taker and victory shall be yours. As you forward along your path to victory you will find yourself detaching from the outcome thus allowing you to be victorious and attracting more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. As you move forward in a positive direction of your goals you will find that the obstacles that once stopped you are no longer obstacles but mere stepping stones to success. So many times we find ourselves forgetting everything and running that we forget the power that we have to face everything and rise.Through out my spiritual journey I have had many detractors telling me that it couldn’t be done well I proved them wrong by letting go and letting GOD I was shown resources that simply needed to be utilized to fulfill the goals and objectives that I had set for myself. 

In Overcoming Adversity You Grow Personally, Professionally, and Spiritually

 It is when we utilize our resources and take action that we can overcome all challenges that we face.  I have been working diligently on securing chance drawing items for events that I am hosting for The American Cancer Society to raise funds for research, education, advocacy, and services and I have been reaching out through social media. Each time I get a yes it is a victory  for I know that there are many caring and compassionate people in this world whom will support the efforts to attack cancer from every angle. I have come to understand that the best thing I can do is to take action using the tools at my disposal knowing that when it is all said and done I will be victorious.

Stay Connected to GOD and You Will Be Led to Victory!!!

   It is when we stay connected to GOD and listen to his message that we are led to victory. In order for us to be victorious we need to stay in the arena standing up for what we believe in as we shine our light and illuminate the world.

To Gain Victory You Must Be In The Arena

     It is when you step into the fray and are not afraid of losing that you will be led to victory. It is when you become an action taker and walk in your truth that you will find victory.  In the years that I have been walking my spiritual path their have been some defeats however I have learned from then and as a result have had many victories. For those that have followed this blog for a while you know the many victories that I have had and the many adversities that I have faced along the way. The one thing that has kept moving toward victory is the fact that I know that I am a divine child of GOD and GOD wants me to prosper.

    It is now time for you to be victorious. Namaste!!!
