Spiritual Awakening: Time For Gratitude And Gifts!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Time For Gratitude And Gifts!!!

This year Thanksgiving Day and Hanukah happen together which had me thinking about gratitude and gifts. I was thinking how can I be a proactive action taker and make this a time for gratitude and gifts. I came up with the idea to wrap the gifts and insert thank you cards listing the reasons I am thankful for the people receiving the gifts. As that Thursday will be marked by moments dedicated to gratitude and the importance or recognizing and sharing the gifts we have been given. Think about starting the day with a note of gratitude and exchanging the notes as you watch The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, then at half-time of the football game exchange another gratitude note, then after dinner you light The Hanukah Candles and exchange the gifts. As I look back over the last year I realize that I have much to be grateful for like 2 brothers, 1 sister, and a sister in-law who really like me and lift me friends who continue to support me and encourage me, and a dad who has been there to help me work through some issues.

Since awakening to and embracing my spirituality I have learned that gratitude opens up many possibilities and when you express gratitude great things begin to happen. I have begun to thank everyone and wish them GOD Bless You and the results have been amazing. By expressing gratitude and giving gifts you open up a realm of possibilities to be able to receive. Thank you to Coach Shantel Smith who taught me the value of being grateful and encouraged me to keep a gratitude journal. Since keeping the journal I have found that the day I write what I am grateful for are some of the most productive days that I have.

Spiritual Awakening: Not An Ending But A New Beginning!!!

December 21, 2012 is where The Mayan Calendar ended and many people marked this as a sign the world was ending. The reality is that the world was not ending it was taking creating a new beginning as more and more people were becoming action takers and awakening to their true calling. REM’s song featured above tells us of the world ending as we know it as changes are coming and messages are being sent to all of us. It is up to us how we react to the messages of a new beginning. What messages have you been receiving that you may not have acted upon as you may have been fearful of this new beginning. In many cases what we perceive to be an end is yet a new beginning that will be filled with excitement, wonderment, and opportunities.It may be scary at first as we may not see all the anwswers and all the possibilities, however all will be revealed in due time as everything is in divine order just the way it was meant to be. There will be pain and suffering as the messages are delivered and it is up to us to find the message and reactaccordingly to it. We can look at the negativity or we can choose to look for the positivity as we create a new beginning.
