As we become action takers it is important to do small things with great love. In being a conduit of love we will attract love into our personal, professional, and spiritual lives as we awaken spiritually. In doing things from a heart centered base you will find that the smallest gesture of love gets the biggest results. Yesterday (2/28/2018) I went out on a mission to promote The 2018 American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Sunrise. Overall my day went great as I detached from expectations and simply tapped into my inner divinity thus allowing things to flow as GOD had intended. I did encounter one woman, a manager at Uncle Buck’s, a discount store in the neighborhood, who was so negative that I was left thinking wow someone need a spiritual enema. The beauty of being impeccable with my word, not taking things personally, not making judgments, and always doing my best is that I was able to take a deep breath and move on. I moved on to a dentist’s office and introduced myself and told them who I was and what I was doing. They were very open and receptive and donated $20. In focusing on the positive and doing the small things I was able to find joy in the knowledge that the donations I was collecting were making a positive impact on the lives of those touched by cancer. After collecting donations and promoting The 2018 American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Sunrise I went across the street to the park for a meeting. I was a bit early so I went to watch a girls Flag Football Game and was able to connect with the coach and then I watched the boys flag football game and was able to make a connection with the coach in hopes that these two teams would participate in The 2018 American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Sunrise. I continued to share Relay everywhere I went and as a result was able to spread the word and plant seeds of hope and healing for cancer patients.
As you awaken spiritually you begin to see that living life as a spiritual warrior is what your were meant to do so as to shine a light that will illuminate the world. In becoming a peaceful warrior whose actions are filled with love and compassion you grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. In understanding the idea that you must stand for something or you will fall for anything you begin to strengthen your ability to make a mind, body, soul connection. In taking action to be a spiritual warrior you set things in motion that will attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. In becoming a spiritual warrior and living like a warrior you start to see that the outcomes you are getting in life are related to the energy you are bringing to the tasks you are performing.
Mother Teresa once said if you can not do great things do small things with great love. Mother Teresa was a spiritual warrior who impacted many lives and taught us many lessons of love and compassion. Mother Teresa taught us that each day we can start over and light a fire that will burn bright to light a path for others to walk so that peace, love, and understanding become the way of the day. It is important that we light the flames of hope of healing and keep them burning by becoming peaceful spiritual warriors who share peace, love, joy, and prosperity with others.
Spiritual Awakening: Grooving On A Sunday Afternoon!!!
A
As I sat down at Starbucks to write this entry I took a quick look around and it was amazing to see all the people simply grooving on a Sunday Afternoon. There was a group playing Rummy O, a guy working on editing his photography, people reading, and others simply enjoying life. As I absorbed all this great positive energy I began to think how important it is to be spiritually awake and in tube with your inner divinity so as to attract much peace, joy, love, and prosperity into your life. I began to realize that if you want to manifest happiness and abundance into your life you must exude happiness and come from a place of abundance. So many times we get caught up in the things we can not control that we forget to take charge of what we can control and thus we create blockages that get in the way of grooving not only on a Sunday afternoon but everyday. Now the question is how are we going to awaken spiritually and take control of our lives and let GOD be our guide. The answer is to first embrace the fact that you are a divine child of GOD destined for greatness. After that it is important to make a commitment to yourself to take care of yourself so that you can be of service and value to others. Then after you begin to be of service and value start to release that which no longer serves you. As you continue to follow your path guided by GOD you will see that when you are connected to GOD you will see great things unfold so make it a priority to praise and honor GOD daily so that you can grove everyday and reach your higher calling.
Spiritual Awakening: Tools To Help You Groove Everyday!!!
I have found that The Serenity Prayer, Positive Affirmations, and The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz to be excellent tools in assuming an attitude that will allow me to be open to grooving daily.
I have learned that music can be a great way to get into the groove and to vibrate on a higher level that attracts people to you so that you can manifest the life that you desire.
Over the years I have discovered that books such as these and others available by following the Hay House Link on this page are excellent tools to help you get into the groove.
Kindness is a trait that when put into action serves as great tool to groove daily.
Giving praise and glory to GOD is a fantastic tool to help keep you centered, focused, and grounded so that you can groove everyday and live life to the fullest.
Essential oils and incense are excellent tools to use while clearing your mind so as to groove daily.
Meditation has served as an exceptional tool in releasing that which may be stopping you from grooving daily.
Take a moment to walk in nature and create a sacred space where you can go to communicate with GOD, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels so as to receive the guidance that will allow you to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually as you continue to make the mind, body, and soul connection.
Find spiritual places like The Rice Terraces in the Philippines and take a trip without all the accouterments that we have grown accustom to and simply take in the messages as you get connected to source. Sometimes the greatest tool we have is our ability to detach and disconnect from the human life that we have come to know and get in touch with our divinity.
When I find it difficult to get into a groove or I find myself stuck I use the tool of reflection to remind me just how good my life has been and I remember times that brought great joy and a sense of accomplishment into my life like the 6 months from July 2002 – February 2003 when I was a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in Buang La Union, Philippines. I look at the photo of the church and the arch and I realize how many lives I touched and how the people in this community changed my life and it gets me into a positive frame of mind knowing that I am capable of great things and if I can not do great things to do small things with great love. It is said that photographs and memories are great tools to help you get into the groove.
Spiritual Awakening: JDOGG’S Gift For You To Groove Everyday!!!
One of the terms I have come to learn in the promotional and marketing realm is SWAG, which refers to the free items you get at events from different vendors. SWAG is also short for Swagger used to describe the way someone carries themselves. As I put on my Chuck Taylor Purple Beat Cancer Sneakers I began to see how getting your swag on can determine how people perceive you. Many have admired my sneakers and they have opened up a line of communication that has allowed me to interact with people and share my story. As a result I have attracted many people who want to help me on my mission to plant the seeds of hope and healing for cancer patients, their families, and their friends. As I walked into many businesses I saw people looking at my sneakers and I smiled and many made positive comments and I realized as I shine my light and get my swag on I have the chance to illuminate the world one person at a time. I have come to understand that when you get your swag you must be prepared to instill a philosophy of some will, some won’t, so what, some waiting, next as it is not your job to drag people kicking and screaming to your way of thinking but to simply shine your light bright for others to see thus giving them permission to shine their light. It is when you get your swag on that you can have a great influence on people and thus show the world that service to humanity is the best work of life.
When you decide to take action and get your swag on it is important that when you carry yourself with confidence and begin to assert yourself it is important to understand that not everyone will resonate with the way you do things or your message. Also remember the most successful people in the world were those that were seen as different or a bit out there as their thoughts were not mainstream however those who thought differently and implemented their ideas were the people that changed the world.
Today (3/25/2016) is Good Friday, marking the day that JESUS was taken to Calvary and was nailed to the cross and his blood flowed down Calvary washing away the sins of man. On Sunday (3/27/2016) many will celebrate Easter marking Jesus’s rise from the grave. As I think about this holiday and the spiritual awakening process I am receiving the same message over and over and that is RISE ABOVE. I ask rise above what and I am told rise above all that doesn’t help others. The big question is how do we rise above?
One of the ways to rise above is to pray and to hear the messages from above and then to take positive action on those messages. It is said that when 2 or more are gathered in his name that GOD is present so find a few people that you can gather with and say a prayer for hope and healing for that which is ailing you.Pray that any blockages that are holding you back are removed so you can rise above and positively impact your life and the lives you come in contact. Remember it is when you do for others that you are rewarded.
Spiritual Awakening: Allowing GOD To Speak Through You!!!
In this scene from Joyful Noise the choir director tells the group that I want to hear GOD through you. As I watched the scene I began to ask how are you allowing GOD to speak through you? I started to reflect and realized that when you are GOD centered all things work out. I started to think when you do the right thing and are righteous in all you do GOD will prosper you. I have experienced this so many times. Just recently a team I work for told me they couldn’t pay me for the work I was doing in their office and that they may not be able to afford me to be their announcer. I thought wow I have been loyal to them from day 1 and this is how they are treating me and then I realized it was GOD’s way of telling me to move forward an work with those who truly appreciate my value. As I got home I checked my Facebook page and there was a message from someone I have worked with and who has always appreciated me and helped me asking if I could work with her tomorrow (11/1/2015) and she would pay $100. I said yes and realized that GOD will make up for any money list from the team and that it is time to use my talents to prosper myself so I could then be of service and value to others.
As I sat in prayer and asked GOD to help me pick up free lance work he has started to deliver as my insurance agent wants some help with social media and will be using me at least once a month. GOD is able to direct us as look as we ask and follow his message. I have learned that when things seem to be the darkest GOD is there to make them bright. What seems as being taken for granted may just be the sign that it is time to move on and pursue the purpose that GOD has for us. It is when we take the action to tap into our inner divinity that we are able to let GOD speak through us thus allowing us to step into our power and shine our light that we illuminate the world.
As you ask JESUS to shine down on you he will give the tools and the talents that will allow GOD to speak through you. It is when you detach from what might happen and just allow things to happen that you become more spiritually aware and awake. As we begin to really connect with GOD we see things very differently and we begin to find more peace, love, joy, and prosperity. When we truly peel back our outer shell and begin to show the world our authentic self we begin to thrive and add more bliss and abundance in our lives. It is when we choose to not sweat the small stuff and to remember it is all small stuff that we can better embrace the idea that if GOD brought us to it GOD will bring us through it. When we let go and let GOD we allow GOD to speak through us and thus we improve the world simply by be kind and loving. It is when we understand that things don’t happen to us they happen for us that we can open our heart, mind, and soul and allow him to speak through us. So when you are questioning why something is unfolding the way it is remember that it is part of GOD’s master plan to speak through us.
As I continue to journey on my spiritual path and become more and more aware and awake I realize that there comes a time to fight the good fight and face everything and rise. As I worked The Howard Davis Jr. Foundation Fundraiser last night(8/15/2015) for Celebrity Sports, The Ultimate Gift Store, located at 1825 N.Pine Island Road, Plantation, FL I had the opportunity to interact with Howard Davis Jr., whose now fighting cancer and is using alternative medicine as a form of treatment. After hearing from Howrd’s doctor, Dr. Mark Rosenberg I realized just how important it is to continue to fight the good fight and let people know that there are other ways beside traditional chemotherapy and radiation. The more and more I thought about it the more I realized how important it is to fight the good fight and spread the message that there are other treatment options available. As I listened to Howard Davis Jr. speak I realized just how many people are battling something and just how important it is for all of us to become lifters and to help them fight the good fight. Some of you reading this may argue that fighting only increases the problem because what we focus on expands and I would agree however it is how you fight something that truly matters. In fighting for health if we come from a peaceful and caring mindset we become healthier as we begin to feed our body the nutrients that are necessary in defeating an opponent like cancer. If we ask GOD to help in cleansing our body and getting our mind straight so we can fight the good fight in a peaceful and loving manner GOD will see us through after all if GOD brought us to it GOD will bring us through it.
As I left the fundraiser and drove home I began to understand why GOD chooses certain people to fight the good fight. He choose Howard Davis Jr because Howard is a caring compassionate man who can use his platform to reach the masses and thus effect change in the lives of those touched by cancer by bring a message of hope and healing through alternative methods. Howard Davis Jr. continues to fight the good fight while inspiring others. It was truly my honor to be in the presence of Howard Davis Jr. a true champion for humanity. In the end we will all win as we lift Howard and all those touched by cancer up.
When you are going through the spiritual awakening process you realize that you are not only changing yourself but you are changing the world. When you commit to taking action to be more in tune with your spirituality and to tap into your divine guidance system you take the steps that will enhance your personal and professional life thus changing the world. When you awake in the morning you should be looking for ways to be of service and value to others. In finding and taking advantage of the opportunities to be of service and value you will witness the small changes that lead to changing the world. When you decide it is time to change the world and you take action you will begin to see the dramatic changes that create a collective consciousness that creates a positive shift in your life and the lives of others. As you move forward in the quest to change the world you will experience personal and professional growth that will allow to enjoy the prosperity that is your birthright.
In our life we will witness injustice and as spiritual beings it is our responsibility to step in and use the divine guidance and our divine guidance to stop the injustice and change the world. If we turn a blind eye to the injustice we are just as guilty as those committing the injustice. So many are fearful of speaking up that they allow the injustice to continue and thus when it continues they feel guilt. Fear and guilt are energy drainers and stop you from making a positive difference in the world. We all have a voice and it is time to use our collective voices to change the world. Sometimes eradicating a perceived problem such as a hungry child is simply to buy and prepare food for the child. Sometimes the way to assist a homeless person is simply to talk to the person and see if they desire help to improve their human condition. In most cases you can change the world simply by interacting with people and helping them to step into their power and showing them how to use their talents. Their are certain things you can do to change the world. You can show love and compassion in all you do. You can forgive yourself and others for their transgressions. You can assume an attitude of gratitude. The choice is yours to tap into your spirituality and change the world.
Each day when I awake I ask myself how can I add value to someone’s life? Today (10/3/2014) is another FREE HUGS FRIDAY where I put up the FREE HUGS Banner at my local Starbucks and as I write my blog and promote events and businesses I give out FREE HUGS. This is my way of sowing the seeds of love. During the spiritual awakening process I have learned that if you are loving and caring in all you do and you have a definitive goal in mind you will meet with success and grow personally and professionally. In having a vision that is heart centered you are able to be focused and disciplines and thus execute your purpose on a daily basis. Today we have an opportunity to positively impact our lives and the lives of others by simply reaching out and sowing the seeds of love.
Spiritual Awakening: Tools For Sowing The Seeds Of Love!!!
Music and sacred chants can be great tools to help us stay centered and grounded while exploring our inner divinity and making the mind, body, soul connection while we sow the seeds of love.
One of my favorite scenes from The Karate Kid is when Miyagi is showing Daniel the importance of his training and the results he is achieving.
The scene shows us the importance of taking action and applying what we have learned as we awaken spiritually and grow personally and professionally. In life what we do may hold some secret lessons like the tasks Daniel learned and was apply to apply to his training and thus find success in the end.
In taking action and understanding that you are the best around you will begin to enhance the spiritual awakening process and as a result make a mind, body, soul connection that will propel to greatness. It is when you stand in your power and embrace your greatness that you are able to achieve the oneness consciousness that will guide you to the prosperity that is your birthright. There will be challenges and obstacles along the way however when these obstacles are faced and conquered we grow in spirit. In growing in spirit we are able to shine our light for others to see and thus we become physically, mentally, and emotionally stronger. When we are focused and moving forward in purpose we find success.
When we move forward with love in our heart nothing can stop us. When our focus is on being loving and caring in all we do we will begin to attract all that is necessary to come from the heart and achieve greatness.
As we continue to focus on being of service and value and doing everything we do from a position of love we begin to awaken spiritually more and more thus becoming more and more open to receive the gifts that GOD and The Universal Powers have in store for us. GOD delivers to those who show love and gratitude and help others to excel. When we stay focused good things begin to happen for us.
Spiritual Awakening: Staying Focused To Receive!!!
As I sat down to write this entry today I prayed to GOD and asked for the right content that will empower and inspire the reader to stay focused and open the channels to receive. After I began to write GOD and The Universal Powers delivered this Mother Teresa Poem. In being focused on receiving you begin to find ways to be more and more open thus creating a positive flow and positive vibrations that will attract the right people to us. The best way to stay open to receive is to become a cheerful giver.
In giving and focusing your attention on GOD and being a cheerful giver you will receive a bountiful harvest in your life as you continue on your path toward spiritual enlightenment. When we focus on being righteous we will never be forsaken. Yesterday I ran out of gas outside of a home and the owner who I found out was named Carlos checked out my car gave me a 1/2 gallon of gas and sent me on my way. Before leaving I offered him $2 which he turned down so I put it in my pocket. I went and got gas and went about my business for the night. Upon arriving home I put the $2 into my Relay For Life Canister and thanked GOD for watching over me. Today as I was at Starbucks a pastor that I knew and I had a great discussion and he put $10 in The Relay For Life Canister. These encounters have taught me to stay focused and let GOD divinely guide me as he will put me in the places that I need to be in.
Spiritual Awakening: Tools To Help You Stay Focused!!!

Music is always a good tool to have to help you stay focused and commit to doing life big as you continue to grow personally and professionally.
