Spiritual Awakening: Fill Your Day With Grace and Gratitude!!!

Spiritual Awakening:

Fill Your Day With Grace And Gratitude!!!

      Today (8/8/2022) the world lost an icon in the music industry as Olivia Newton John was called home to GOD after batlling breast cancer.  Through the years Olivia Newton John taught us all how important it is is to live each day with grace and gratitude. Through out the spiritual awakening process you will find that grace and gratitude are key components needed to improve your personal, professional, and spiritual life. Now is the time to ask yourself how and I carrying myself with grace and how am I showing gratitude. Are you showing gratitude toward those who are supporting you and lifting you. The other day I stopped by Westside Hospital to tahnk the nurses who had taken care of me during my stay there from May 23-29, 2022. I gave them beanie babies as a token of my appreciation and they thanked me. I left that visit and thanked GOD for the opportunity to show appreciation and for the wake up call he gave me. I am grateful for all my doctors who are helping me to get on a path to wellness and who are continuing to assist me in taking the necessary steps to stay on a path to wellness. I have several medical issues however I am grateful for each day that I have and I have come to realize that each day is a day that the lord hath made so I should be glad and rejoice in it. One way to live in grace and gratitude is to let go and let GOD!!!  

     In letting go and letting GOD you will find yourself vibrating at a higher level so that you can attract the resource that you seek to bring peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. In letting go and letting go you will find that you are better able to make grace and gratitude priorities in your daily life. In taking the lessons that we learned from Olivia Newton John we are able to stay on our spiritual path and thus we can be of service and value to others. Olivia Newton John showed a great deal of grace as she battled breast cancer and never gave in to and fought a valiant fight while expressing gratitude to her family, friends, and fans. Olivia Newton John’s memory will serve as a reminder to be graceful and grateful in all you do so you can leave a legacy that will inspire and empower others simply by staying in the now and showing gratitude.

 

    Yesterday is gone and tomoorow may not come so today is the present so live in the now and make a positive impact on the people you come in connect with by embracing the power of now. Remember that things do not happen to us they happen for us so be grateful for what is happening as they are happening for a reason. Remember GOD doesn’t give us anything that we can not handle so be grateful for what GOD is giving you. It is your season to show grace and gratitude.

 

       As you continue on your spiritual path take a moment to write down what you are grateful for in your life. One of the courses I took with Coach Shantel Smith recommended to keep a gratitude journal which has proven to be a great tool in staying centered, focused, and grounded so that I can continue to get better so that I can help others. Look for ways to show appreciation. It can be a s simple as writing a personal thank you card to someone. A few years ago I gave thank you card tot he staff at Starbucks and they all seemed to perk up a bit after that. On my last trip to the cardiologist I gave them a Valentina Beanie Baby and they put it at the front desk. I gave my dentist office staff one of the Terrel Davis Beanie Babies and they all liked it. I also gave them the gaiters from Memorial Healtcare System. As a result of showing gratitude I have found that people treat me a bit better. I have come to understand through the spiritual awakening process that being grateful goes a long way in growing personally, professionally, and spiritually.

 

    I want to take this time to say thank you to all those who continue to lift me up and send me well wishes and prayers. I want to thank those who have believed in me and have utilized my services as a PA Announcer, An Emcee, Voice Over Person,and Business Coach. Say Thank You Today!!! Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Something To Believe In!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Something To Believe In!!!

     It is good to believe in yourself but it is better to know that someone believes in you. As you go through the spiritual awakening it is important to have something to believe in that drives you to grow personally. professionally, and spiritually allowing you to seize the day. If you have something that you are passion about and you take action you will find success as you have something to believe in. Ask yourself what do I have to believe in as I journey along my spiritual path.

      The newsies believed in fighting for better wages and working conditions and they united in the effort and seized the day and through some trials and tribulations they eventually got what they wanted. The newsie are a fantastic example of what can happen when you take action and have something to believe in. It is when you awaken and follow your calling that you enhance your life and the lives of others. My quest to be of service and value to others started at the age of 11 when I hosted a backyard carnival to benefit The Muscular Dystrophy Association. It was through this event that I realized that my core belief system would be to show people that service to humanity is the best work of life. Through out my high school and college years I was involved in many community service projects and I learned that when you believe in causes and become laser focused you begin to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. In 1989 I joined The Jaycees (Junior Chamber Of Commerce) and I was introduced to The Jaycees Creed which has become an integral part of my belief system.

Jaycee Logos – Foxboro Jaycees Welcome You!

Through the many Jaycees Projects and the leadership training I received I was able to have something to believe in thus allowing me to  continue to move in  a positive direction of my dreams. The Jaycees opened up many doors and gave me the confidence to apply to be a member of The U.S. Peace Corps. I applied to be a member of The U.S. Peace Corps and in June of 2002 I was on a plane to be part of The U.S. Peace Corps Philippines. I was with The U.S. Peace Corps until I returned to The U.S. in February 0f 2003 as I had some medical issues. The U.S. Peace Corps taught me to believe that I could continue to make a difference and that I could break down some barriers that may be holding people back from reaching their full potential. Since my return from the U.S. Peace Corps I have been focused on helping people with cancer through my participation in The American Cancer Society Relay For Life as I believe in helping other people excel.  I have had some great experiences as I have always had something to believe in. I have been knocked down a few times and have encountered doubters, haters, and naysayers but I have always believed that GOD’S Plan is far greater than the plan I have for myself. I have come to understand that what the mind can conceive and the heart can believe you can achieve.

The Power of Expressing Gratitude - Paauwerfully Organized

I believe that when you have an attitude of gratitude you will reach an altitude that exceeds your expectations. Gratitude is an incredible tool for it allow us to increase our vibrations thus attracting the resources needed to create the life that we desire. I have come to realize that when you understand that this is the day that the lord hath made and to be glad glad and rejoice in it that you are able to overcome challenges by facing everything and rising. In believing that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it you will experience triumph over adversity. When you have something to believe in you find yourself excelling by finding something to believe in.

I know for many of you the last 14 months have been a challenge however I am here to tell you things get easier and if you continue to believe in yourself and you use your talents for good you will find yourself attracting bliss and abundance into your life. When you have something to believe in you will find that everything begins to fall into place just as GOD has intended. One of the teachings that has helped me to continue on my quest to be the best version of myself and to walk in my truth has been The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.

Book Synopsis: The 4 Agreements

May your beliefs allow you to step into your power and achieve greatness. Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Get This Perfectly Clear!!!

Image result for Gaining Clarity

As I sat down to write this entry today (2/6/2019) I took a deep breath and I asked The Ascended Masters what message I should deliver today and they answered to encourage the reader to gain clarity of purpose. This was very the perfect message for I have been having a challenging time lately as I have not had the results I had been hoping for on projects that I have poured my heart and soul into. I was doubting my spiritual connection then I remember that if I am to gain clarity I will need to get back to assuming and attitude of gratitude.

As I started to write in my gratitude journal I realized that I was wallowing in what wasn’t happening instead of being grateful so I decided to get back to planning the work and working the plan and making adjustments along the way and to show gratitude. It was at that moment when I began to get a clearer vision of my purpose. I started to realize that over the last 8 months since my DAD was called home to GOD I had focused on my hardships and been creating blockages from creating the life that I desire. As I was writing this blog entry I came across this 30 minute video and it reminded me that I need to get back to my spiritual base and tap into my inner divinity and stop making excuses and simply get clarity of purpose and start being more focused on the goals that I have set for myself and to remind myself that by being of service and value to others I will be lifted and served and my life will improve. It was a message to get back to basics and simply come from an attitude of gratitude. It is time to remember that if GOD brought me to it GOD will bring me through it. It was time to remind myself to push harder and stop making excuses and stop blaming others. It was time to stay focused, grounded, and focused. Now is the time to get back on track and understand that every bump in the road is simply a reminder to slow down and put in the work. It is time to get clarity of purpose and to take action to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life. It is time to remove what no longer serves you and to realize that your attitude determines your altitude. It is time to use your talents and monetize them so that you can create the life that you desire. It is time to stop the negative self talk. It is time to ignore the doubters, the haters, and the naysayeers and gain clarity of purpose and find your why so that you improve your personal, professional, and spiritual life. It is time to put a high value on yourself because you deserve to be valued.

Image result for Gaining Clarity

I had been putting barriers in place due to some set backs and then I changed my thinking and gained clarity of purpose. It was when I embraced my purpose that I was able to push forward. I still have moments where I just want to stay in bed and forget about everything however I have come to realize that doing that only creates more blockages and stops me from growing personally, professionally, and spiritually. In finding my why and gaining clarity of purpose I have been able to get back on track.

Image result for the four agreements

I had found myself violating the 3rd agreement of Do Not Make Assumptions and as a result I was stopping myself from having clarity and success. When I began to stop judging I began to find myself stepping into my power and started to work toward the greatness that is my birthright. It was when I began to detach from outcomes that I was able to move forward in a positive direction of my dreams and gain clarity of purpose.

As we awaken spiritually and gain clarity of purpose we need to come through a few storms so that we can have the bright sunny shiny days. It is in the face of adversity that we rise and gain clarity of purpose. When we weather the storm and peel back the onion we begin to find the answers that we were seeking so that we can make a positive impact on our life and the lives of others. In looking back and eliminating the blockages we can move forward and create a clarity of purpose.

It is when we find our why that we are able to achieve the greatness that is our birthright. When we begin to eliminate that which no longer serves us and understand our own shortcomings we can take action to strengthen our personal, professional, and spiritual life. It was when I stopped playing the poor me card that I gained clarity of purpose and found success. I have also come to realize that I am the only one that can control me and that stuff is going to happen and that which I can change I will and that which I can not I will let go and in the long term I will gain the wisdom to know the difference. Sometimes to gain clarity you just need to detach from expectations and simply allow GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels guide you so that you become an action taker and stay your course be clear in your purpose.

If you are going to win in the end you must gain clarity of purpose and take action daily to move in a forward direction of your dreams. It is in knowing your purpose that you will be able to act on the messages that you are receiving and thus you will win in the end.

Now is your time to win in the end by gaining clarity of purpose!!! 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: Get Your Shift Together!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Get Your Shift Together!!!

As you experience a spiritual awakening you will find yourself taking more and action which will enable you to get your shift together. Over the last 8 weeks I have  experienced a gamut of emotions which led me to get my shift together. I needed to go from wanting to forget everything and running to facing everything and rising. It was when  I sat in meditation that I received to the message to get my shift together and to do things to move me forward after the loss of my DAD. As I marked my 53rd birthday yesterday (8/2/2018) I realized that it was time to step into my power once again and to get my shift together going from a position of lack to a position of abundance. In getting my shift together I have been able to attract money that will enable me to move from negativity and anger to positivism and joy. In sitting down and connecting to GOD I was able to receive some answers and thus able to get my shift together. In changing my thoughts and stepping into my power I have regained control of many situations and thus am able to turn things around.

In turning things around and understanding that I am a divine child of GOD and GOD wants me to prosper I have been better able to plan my work and work my plan and make adjustments as GOD has intended. I have come to understand that I can not control the actions of others and that at the end of the day it is not my position to judge them. I can get mad when someone makes an appointment with me and changes plans at the last minute or doesn’t show up or I can have an alternative so that I can be productive and meet the goals I set for the day.  In getting my shift together I have gone back to practicing The Four Agreements!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Praise And Joy Rule The Day!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Praise And Joy Rule The Day!!

When you awaken in the morning and you are filled with gratitude and you take action to show appreciation to everyone you come in contact with you find that praise and joy rule the day. When you simply detach from the outcomes and you turn it all over to GOD you will see that you become a powerful force of nature that serves as a living example that service to humanity is the best work of life. Today (4/15/2017) I had the opportunity to go to Tate’s Comics in Lauderhill to pick up items that they were donating for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Sunrise. When I opened the box I was amazed at all the great items that were inside. I said a silent thank you to GOD and Jesus and then made a FACEBOOK Live video thank Tate’s Comics. In showing gratitude I felt a new positive energy come over me so as I put the box in my car I decide to take my collection canister out and I went store to store collect donations. I simply went in introduced myself and decided to detach from the out and simply wish everyone a blessed day in the end. As I continued to collect I had more and more success. Each time I left a store I said thank you GOD and Jesus. As I continued to do this I found myself vibrating in a very positive way. As I began to focus on all those who were giving instead of those who didn’t give I found myself getting more donations. I finished collecting in that shopping plaza and in my car began to realize that when you allow joy and praise to rue the day you attract peace, love, happiness, and prosperity into your life.  As I continued to allow praise and joy to rule the day I found myself filled with a spirit of purpose.

Spiritual Awakening: Breaking The Rules!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Breaking The Rules!!!

As you begin to break free from the perceived societal norms during your spiritual awakening you will find yourself breaking many of the laws that have kept you from reaching your full potential. So many times we get boxed in by rules at work, school, or in organizations that we loose sight of our purpose to be of service of value to others while growing personally, professionally, and spiritually.  It is when we get rid of the box and decide it is time to break some rules that we are able to see positive impact in our lives and the lives of those  we come in contact with on a regular basis.  It is when you become an action taker and begin to break the rules that are confining you and holding you back you will see your life in a totally different light. Freedom comes when you begin to stop worrying and start doing.  How many times have you been told you can’t do something and you said I can do what I want as long as it doesn’t do any harm. I was out in the community today collecting donations to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays and I stopped into an office and the lady said we usually don’t allow soliciting  but since it is for cancer and you have a name badge on along with your official shirt we’ll pass the canister. As I left that office I thought how many people in that office are being held back because of the rules? I alkso9 thought how many are operating out of fear of losing their job?

So many times rules are put into place to stop us from being free thinkers  and action takers. Many  of the rules in place today need to be broken and thrown away so as to improve the quality of your personal, professional, and spiritual life.  I often see a no soliciting sign and I go into the business anyway because you never know who might be inspired by your presence and what you are doing. I often simply engage people that I don’t know, which I am told is not a societal norm, so that I can get to know someone and see how we can be of service and value to one another. The idea is to step out of the comfort zone that we have created by following rules and start to see how breaking rules will help us to reach a special level of spiritual enlightenment.  I am not encouraging you to break all the rules as if you did that chaos would ensue and that would not benefit anyone. What I am advocating is to break out the constraints of rules that do not serve you.

Spiritual Awakening: Rising Above!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Rising Above!!!

As I witnessed many of the events unfolding this week I began to see a lot of hate being spewed by so many people and I thought back to a campaign done by The WWE, Rise Above Hate. When we make a conscious decision through our spiritual awakening to rise above and hold a special place for everyone even those who have wronged us we can start an avalanche of positivism that leads to a world filled with peace, love, joy, and prosperity. When we decide to let go of issues and begin to understand that we are more alike than we are different we can rise above by helping people to become better personally, professionally, and spiritually. It is when we decide to take action becoming a vessel filled with hope, compassion, and love that we will shine a bright light and illuminate the world.

Yesterday was The International Day of Peace. I believe peace day should be every day and we should do everything that we can to preserve the sanctity of life. We should make it a point everyday to rise above all challenges that are blocking us from becoming peaceful and compassionate beings.  We should be looking for ways to be of service and value to others daily.  Each day in order to rise above we should be looking for ways to be kind to one another.  Each day is an opportunity to grow and make a positive difference in our lives and in the lives of others. I suggest that we begin to focus on the positive and to begin to encourage people to assume an attitude of gratitude. If we are truly going to rise above we need to start with being grateful.

Spiritual Awakening: Disappointment Turns To Enlightenment!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Disappointment Turns To Enlightenment!!!

As the regular readers of this blog know I am very dedicated to helping those touched by cancer through my involvement with Relay For Life. Over the years I have emceed many Relays. This year as The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Boca Raton approached I reached out to The People Lead about being the emcee and was told they had that covered. The day of The Relay arrived and I went to Relay and when asked about doing  announcements was told only the staff partner and The People Lead would be making announcements. I was a bit surprised as well as disappointed as I have been the voice of this Relay for the previous 12 years. I understand that people want to change it up and you want to give  other people a chance, however when you have one of the best at their craft who is passionate about the cause and has raised the kind of money I have raised you find a way to include me. I was very angry and I expressed this to the people lead who was so caught up in her title and having power she didn’t even engage with me. Her answer was people don’t want all that talking they just want to enjoy the event.  After my initial anger and disappointment subsided I had the opportunity to sit quietly and reflect and then I realized that not everyone will appreciate your talents and there will be those that are intimidated because while many talk I do.  I then thought that it doesn’t matter if I emcee or not that I am there to honor my mom, Judith Miller, who was called home to GOD on July 5, 2012 after suffering a massive heart attack while battling non-operable metastatic lung cancer and even though I know I could have  engaged the audience and brought excitement to the event emceeing or even making announcements was not what GOD had in mind for me to do that night.

Always In My heart My Reason To Relay
Always In My Heart My Reason to Relay

As I walked the Luminaria lap I had an aha moment which put things into perspective. I received a message from source, I believe it was from my mother telling me that sometimes working quietly behind the scenes serves the great purpose. I am working on releasing my disappointment of not being the emcee as well as not being asked to be part of the committee. This could also be a Message from GOD that he has something much bigger in store for me. The enlightening moment occurred earlier today when I realized that at the end of the day all that matters is  that I was impeccable with my word, didn’t take anything personally, didn’t judge, and always did my best. I also realized that as long as I go where I am honored and respected and not just tolerated that everything will be okay.  I also have come to understand that not everyone will understand my level of commitment and my ways of doing anything. I also learned that instead of dwelling on the disappointment look at the good that came from me not being the emcee like being able to do an oracle card reading and put someone at ease and collect $20 for the cause for doing this, to be able to man a booth and receive donations for The SUJA Juice I had donated, and to have the ability to see Relay For Life from a different perspective.
