Spiritual Awakening: Taking A Step Back!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Taking A Step Back!!!

As we continue on our spiritual journey and become more and more aware and awake we must remember that we must step back and detach from the situation at hand. Today (4/25/2017) I was tested as I was out collecting for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and had an encounter that taught me a very important lesson. That lesson is that not everyone is going to be open to receive the message that you are delivering. I also used my spiritual teachings to take a step back and apologize to the person who seemed to be upset with me. In doing this I was able to diffuse any hard feelings that this person may be harboring. As I walked back to my car I did a gratitude prayer and realized that I should be focusing on those who gave and those who were supportive instead of one person who gave off a negative vibration. As I sat in quiet contemplation I understood that in being an action taker you will encounter all types of situations that will force you to dig deep inside and understand that you must take a step back sometimes and then move forward by being caring in all you do.
It is important to move right along despite any set backs and challenges. When these challenges occur while on our spiritual journey we need to take a step back take a deep breath and create a special place for those who have created the challenges and then let it go. It is in stepping back and taking responsibility that you are able to clear blockages that may be holding you back. On a daily basis it is important to take a step back and reflect on how far you have come so you can let the past go and let GOD as you move forward in a positive direction moving toward your dreams. As you move right along you will encounter those who do not resonate with you and will react in a negative manner to the point of even calling you names. When this happens remember that it is imperative not to take anything personally. It is important to take action so that you can step into your power and achieve the greatness that you are destined to achieve. Through the awakening process you will find that when you step back and take responsibility for the role you played in any situation you are able to release any of the blockages that are stopping you from moving forward.

Spiritual Awakening: After The Rain!!!

Spiritual Awakening: After The Rain!!!

As I sit down to type this entry I am at my local Starbucks in Sunrise, Florida and there is a fierce rain storm brewing outside. As I observe this storm I begin to think of the storms that we may have in our own personal, professional, and spiritual lives and realize that after the rain there is a rainbow. How many times do we complain about the storms in our life instead of being appreciative of the rainbow? I have learned that complaining only makes the storm worse. I have come to realize that if GOD brought you to the storm he will bring you through it. In growing personal, professionally, and spiritually we must realize that there will be storms and how we deal with these storms will determine what we attract into our lives. I have come to adopt the anthem that a positive attitude during a storm will propel you to altitudes that you never imagined. Through the spiritual awakening process I have found music to be a great tool to bring me through the storm.
This song from The Byrds based on Ecclesiastes has helped me to take action despite being caught in a storm as I have come to realize that we each have a season and that there is a time for every purpose under heaven. It is when we realize that there is balance in our lives that we are able to come through the storms stronger than we were before. In moments of introspection I have learned that in order to weather a storm I must be willing to change the way I go about things during the storm. In many cases I have fund that I am the cause of the storm because I was disconnected from GOD and forgot that the plans he has for me are far greater than my own plans. In these cases I take actions to get reconnected.

 

I have found that doing daily reflections and meditations and then looking at my accomplishments such as being a featured author in Sources of Wisdom Book 2 and Sources of Wisdom Book 3 to be great tools to help weather any storms.  When I changed the focus from I can’t to I can and stopped making excuses and pointing fingers at others I found myself more aware and awake with an ability to face everything and rise instead of forgetting everything and running. It was when I decided to take action and detach from outcomes by reminding myself that all I can control is myself and my reactions to things that I began to attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into my life. I have found that by reciting the serenity prayer daily that I can weather any storm.

Spiritual Awakening: The Impossible Dream!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Impossible Dream!!!

 

 How many times have you stated your intentions during your spiritual awakening only to be told oh that is a pipe dream or that is an impossible dream? How many times have you given in to your own fears or the thoughts of others only to think what might have been or what could have been?  It is at times like this that we must summon our own inner Don Quixote and get in tune with our own divinity so that we can pursue what many may consider an impossible dream.

How many times have you not take a shot because you thought you might miss it only to realize that if you take the shot there is a 50% chance that you will make it.  I remember hearing on the radio an interview about The Lingerie Football League, now Legends Football league. I thought it would be great to be a PA Announcer for the local team, The Miami Caliente, so I looked up the league and contacted them about The PA Announcer Position. They Responded and I did an audition on the phone and I was hired. The first night was like a dream come true as I sat in the announcing area of this big arena and I had my own dressing room. I did the game and was paid for it and then invited to do other games and Lingerie Bowl 7. It was something deep inside that told me to go for it and ignore the naysayers and the doubters. As a result of this successful experience I have learned to chase the impossible dream and to continue to put myself out there. I have learned through taking action that most of the time you obtain desirable results. The dream has run across some obstacles like a team hiring me for 4 games and only using me for 1 or a team hiring me and then not paying me, however I have learnt from each experience and I keep moving forward in the positive direction of my dreams.

Spiritual Awakening: Getting Back To Nature!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Getting Back To Nature!!!

 When was the last time you shut everything off and took time to recognize the beauty of nature? Each day  that I am at my clubhouse I take a few minutes to take a walk around our large pool area, I stop and marvel at the iguanas, the ducks, the trees, and the other creations that I observe. I use this time to center myself and refocus. By getting back to nature and enjoying the quiet time we are able to stay on our path of spiritual awakening and truly find our inner strength. By getting back to nature and stopping to enjoy the miracle of creation we are able to find joy and inner happiness. I remember one of my fondest moments with someone I loved who has since passed was the day at The Nature Center when we stood and shared a great moment of watching the bald eagles. The spirituality that nature brings forth is amazing and when cherished and enjoyed it opens up all of our chakras so that we are open to receive the joy and abundance that our creator has provided for us.  Think of the times you have reconnected with nature and all the joy it has brought to you and build on those memories to live in the present moment as you continue on your spiritual journey.

  

During my U.S. Peace Corps in The Philippines from July 2002 – February 2003 I had the opportunity to get back to nature on many occasions from visiting the Botanical Gardens in La Union to going out on The Banca Boats each time I remember feeling an inner peace and a serene calmness come over me and each time I went into nature my day improved. It is when you take the time to enjoy the nature that is around you that you can find your inner strength.

Spiritual Awakening: Dreaming Of Angels On A Rainy Night

Spiritual Awakening: Dreaming of Angels On A Rainy Night

This blog post was inspired by Abba’s song I Have A Dream. As I sat in Starbucks on a rainy dark Friday Night after what was a challenging day as my car didn’t start and all my pland needed to be adjusted and then spending $246 on repairs which set me back a bit and put me in a finacial perdiciment that I wasn’t planning for I realized that many times when something negative occurs it is our belief in Angels and staying positive that comes through so I took a deep breath and  decided that I would write an entry to empower and inspire the reader.  I sat and began to take moment to look deep inside and to ask my angels to guide me and they all kept saying share your dreams and ask others to share their dreams.

My dream is for the angels to guide me to one day announce large sporting events like a Superbowl and to bring much joy to all those in attendance. This is a big dream and I know with the help of the angels that it can come true. When you seek guidance and support you can turn to your angels and the answers will appear. I think of so many times when I have asked the angels for guidance and they have directed me to the right place showing that everything is in divine order the way it should be.

Spiritual Awakening: Thanksgiving, Family, Friends or Another Day

Thanksgiving and Spirituality Showing Gratitude

Spirituality: Thanksgiving

This will be my first Thanksgiving without my mother, Judith Miller, as she was called home by GOD on July 5, 2012. I am honoring her and giving thanks for the years she was with us by asking people to visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogglederman and to make a donation. My Thanksgiving will be spent with my dad and his significant other at The Kings Buffet.

When Thanksgiving arrives and the sunrises it means turning on the tv and tuning into the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and seeing the joy on all the families gathered to celebrate this day of magic that seems to bring everyone together for the common good. For many it is a time for family and friends while for some it is just another day. After viewing the parade it is off to watch football and share time with my Dad and his significant other, Regina. I strongky believe that the elements of Thanksgiving should be shared on a daily basis. Some ways to do this are:

1: Be grateful for the roof over your head and reach out to help those who may not have this luxury

2: Use the magic words thank you when interacting with everyone

3: Write thank you notes just to acknowledge those who are enhancing your personal and professional life

4: Tak a moment simply to call a client and thank them for their support

Thanksgiving Parade Brings Joy

Spirituality: Thanksgiving Bringing Joy

Despite rain those that attended the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade enjoyed themselves. This made me think what is it that you enjoy about the parade. For me

1: The bands and the entertainers at center stage

2: The Ballons- My Favorite is still Kermit followed by Snoopy

3: The Broadcasters and The Gentlema that does the Voice Overs

There  is something magical about waking up early on Thanksgiving and watching the parade and then taking a moment to reflect of all the good that is happening. This year despite some financial challenges I am grateful for the opoortunity to spend time with my Dad and Gina. The energy of the parade and  the joy it creates is is amazing as it propels many of us to assume a position of gratitude and thus reminds us that when we come from gratitude we open ourselves up to receive and give. It is in being grateful on Thanksgiving and through out the year that we can create great things.

Snoppy is one of my favorite characters and somehow I get balanced and centered when I see him in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. On this special day of Thanksgiving may you find balance, joy, abundance, peace, love, and happiness in all that you do and may your light of spirituality shine bright on others.
