Spiritual Awakening: Reach Up!!!

 Today’s blog entry was inspired by The Special Olympics and this new theme song, Reach Up. As I listened to the song I realized just how strong of a message it was and how in tune with a spiritual awakening it was.  I began to reflect on my involvement as a Special Olympics coach and volunteer and how empowering the experience was as I had the chance to work with many inspiring athletes.  As I watched the Special Olympics  World Games and saw the many stories about the athletes I was reminded just how important it is to be an action taker as you continue along your spiritual path.  I remember the first time that I heard The Special Olympics Oath of Let Me Win But If I Can Not Win Let Me Be Brave In The Attempt and thinking what a great philosophy to have in life.many time sit is simply by be brave in the attempt that we step into our power and achieve greatness. It is when we reach up and overcome our limiting beliefs that we are able to make a mind, body, and soul connection that allows us to create a oneness consciousness that creates peace, love, joy, and prosperity in our life.  As I watched the Special Olympics World Games I was moved by the story of Olivia Quigley a Special Olympian who is battling stage 4 breast cancer whose positive approach to life is very inspiring.

It is my hope that this story will move you to push through any challenges that you are facing and allow you make a spiritual connection that will enable you to create the life that you desire. In facing challenges head on we are able to reach up and come alive  and thus make a positive difference in lour community.  I have learned that when we are grateful for what we have that we are able to reach up and overcome the fears that may have created blockages in the past.  When we reach up we are able to fly and thus enhance our personal, professional, and spiritual life.
